1. Investigation of Eastern Brook Trout, Land-locked Salmon and Lake Trout in 

 Cold Stream Watershed. (FA: F-5-R) 



The above species are being studied with relation to life history and sur- 

 vival, population estimates, age and growth characteristics. Creel censuses 

 are conducted, and fish movements observed.

2. An Investigation of the Fresh-water Fisheries of Mount Desert Island. (FA: F-2-R) 



Two coastal lakes deemed suitable for management of the land-locked salmon 

 and eastern brook trout are being surveyed to obtain infornnation on interrelation- 

 ships of existing populations of warm-water and cold-water game species; to 

 increase natural reproduction of salmon; to establish a natural run of alewives 

 by stocking; to detern-iine the effects of ice-fishing on salmon and trout; and to 

 study spawning habits, survival rates, and returns to the angler of hatchery- 

 reared, land-locked salmon and eastern brook trout planted in the lakes.
