The Limnology of Pyramid Lake. 



This project is to determine methods of reviving the once extensive cut- 

 throat trout fishing industry in the lake. To date, it has included annual surveys 

 of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the lake on the part 

 of both the University and the Fish and Game Commission. 



Fish and Game Commission and Piute Indian Tribal Council cooperating; 

 Pyramid Lake; began August 1948, to close 1958; $1, 000; Ira La Rivers, Leader.

1. A Statewide Survey of Fishing Pressure and Fish Resources in New Hampshire. 

 (FA: F-2-R) 



The establishment of the New England-New York Inter -Agency Committee 

 has made it necessary to accumulate additional data relative to fishing pressure, 

 natural reproduction of fish, and the economic importance of fishing within New 

 Hampshire. All data of a similar nature collected in the past will be summarized. 



A statewide economic survey of fishing and hunting is under way, in which 

 comprehensive questionnaires were sent to randonxly selected two percent sample 

 of license holders, with the purpose of obtaining a one percent sample for final 

 analysis. 



Statewide; began July 1, 1951, indefinite; $12,000; Robert F. Normandin and 

 David L. White, Leaders. 



Address inquiries to: Sumner A. Dole, Jr. , New Hampshire Fish and Game 

 Department, Concord, N. H. 



2. A Study of Bass Production in New Hampshire Waters. (FA: F-3-R) 



Activities include investigations of fish population densities and species 

 ratios, reproductive capacities of smallmouth bass, effects of fishing pressure 

 upon bass in Bow Lake, and the relationship of bass to forage fish and inverte- 

 brates. 



Statewide; began July 1, 1951, continuing; $7,000; Paul E. Giguere, Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Hilbert R. Siegler, Chief, Management and Research 

 Division, New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, Concord, N, H. 



3. Game Fish Management. (FA: F-4-D) 



This project was set up to apply currently known fish management measures, 

 and as a proving ground for new techniques as they are developed in research 

 projects. Small pools are being operated in cooperation with sportsmen's clubs, 

 in which bass fry are raised to fingerling size aided by the application of fertili- 

 zers, and then planted where surveys indicate they are needed. Five experi- 

 mentally reclaimed ponds received a large portion of these bass along with large 

 quantities of crayfish to test the use of the latter as a forage food, and to de- 

 termine the length of time it takes bass to reach legal size in northern reclaimed 

 waters. 



Statewide; began July 1, 1951, indefinite; $8,600; Arthur D. Riel, Leader. 

 Address inquiries to: Arthur D. Riel, New Hampshire Fish and Game 

 Department, Concord, N. H. 



4. Trout Stream Investigations. (FA: F-5-R) 



This 13 a long-term study of a typical New Hampshire mountain trout stream. 

 Creel censuses have been conducted to determine angling intensity and success.
