8. Evaluation of Fishing Intensity on Various Species of Native and Stocked Fish in 

 Several Innportant New Jersey Lakes. 



Objectives of the project are to evaluate success of stocking brown and rain- 

 bow trout in Lake Hopatcong; to evaluate effects of stocking tagged adult large- 

 mouth bass and pickerel in Budd and Cranberry Lakes against an equal number of 

 native tagged fish; and to obtain sinnilar data on certain panfish species. 



North Jersey lakes; began November 1953, indefinite; $4,000; Paul E. Hamer, 

 Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Paul E. Hamer, New Jersey State Fisheries Labora- 

 tory, 126 North Main Street, Milltown, N. J. 



9. Lake and Pond Reclamation. 



The project objective is to reclaim lakes and ponds, presently inhabited by 

 undesirable fishes, for species deemed more desirable. 



Statewide; began October 1952, indefinite; $1,000; Paul E. Hamer, Leader. 

 Address inquiries to: Paul E. Hamer, as in No. 8 above. 



10. Percent Mortality of Pickerel Released After Having Been Taken on Various 

 Types of Lures and Bait. 



The objective of the project is to determine the nnortality of pickerel caugth 

 on live bait, single-hook lures, or multi-hook lures. 



Began March 1954, indefinite; $500; Paul E. Hamer, Leader. 

 Address inquiries to: Paul E. Hamer, as in No. 8 above. 



11. Salvage Netting From Closed Waters. 



Objectives of the project are to obtain a supply of large panfish for stocking 

 in municipal ponds for kid fishing and to procure a supply of adult game and pan- 

 fish for tagging experiments. 



Statewide; began February 1953, indefinite; $3,000; Paxil E. Hamer, Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Paul E. Hamer, as in No. 8 above. 



12. Introduction of New Forage Species. (FA: F-3-R in part) 



The salt-water spearing and anchovy have become landlocked in two fresh- 

 water impoundments and their potential as forage will be investigated. Land- 

 locked herring will be stocked in small impoundments and weedy lakes where they 

 do not now exist. Fresh-water shrimp are being investigated as an intermediate 

 food for bass fry at the State Hatchery, and as forage in ponds. 



Statewide; began May 1953, indefinite; $300; Jules Marron, Jr. , Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Jules Marron, Jc , New Jersey State Fisheries Labora- 

 tory, 126 North Main Street, Milltown, N. J. 



13. Destruction of Fish Eggs Through Use of Chemicals. (FA: F-3-R in part) 



The objective of the project is to test the feasibility of pan fish control through 

 destruction of their eggs with chemicals. 



Specific lakes in 3 counties; began March 1953, to close November 1955; 

 $1,500; Jules Marron, Jr., Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Jules Marron, Jr. , as in No. 12 above. 



14. Fingerling Trout Stocking in Certain New Jersey Lakes. (FA: F-3-R in part) 



The project objective is to utilize surplus fingerling trout available at the 

 State Fish Hatchery. Fingerling rainbow, brown and brook trout have been fin- 

 clipped and stocked in five lakes. Survival will be checked by gill nets and creel 

 census.
