NEW JERSEY (Cont. ) 



Northern New Jersey; began Novennber 1953, indefinite; $500; Jules Marron, 

 Jr. , Leader. 



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



15. Introduction of New Ganne and Panfish Species. (FA: F-3-R in part) 



Objectives of the project are to attempt to establish the yellow pike-perch 

 and striped bass (Roccus lineatus ) in several lakes. The major objective is an 

 additional predator large enough to utilize the large golden shiners and miscel- 

 laneous fishes. The channel catfish will be used in park ponds where they should 

 be easier to nnanage and more desirable than other ganne and pan species. The 

 redear sunfish will be utilized in snnall impoundments as more desirable because 

 of its low reproductive potential and larger size. 



Central and northern New Jersey; began May 1953, indefinite; $2,200; 

 Jules Marron, Jr., Leader. 



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



16. Population Manipulation. (FA: F-3-R in part) 



The biological changes brought about by manipulating populations will be 

 measured by creel census, analysis of growth and changes in population as shovoi 

 by net catches. 



Statewide; began March 1953, indefinite; $13,000; Jules Marron, Jr. , Leader. 



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



17. Brush Piles and Brush Pile Areas as Panfish Concentrators. (FA: F-3-R in part) 



Objectives of the project are to test brush piles as concentrators for pan- 

 fish, to perhaps aid in the harvest of these species. The brush piles are being 

 tested with the cooperation of interested fishermen who fish certain designated 

 areas on randomized days. 



Specific lakes, 3 counties; began May 1953, to close November 1954; $500; 

 Jules Marron, Jr. , Leader. 



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



18. Studies on the Landlocked Alewife, Pomolobus pseudoharengus in Lake Hopatcong. 



The landlocked alewife is known to be a very important forage fish in many 

 New Jersey lakes. It seems desirable to learn more about the life history and 

 ecological requirements of this fish. Since it is also an important bait fish, 

 information relative to the procurement and handling of this fish is also desirable. 



Rutgers University cooperating; Sussex County; began June 1953, indefinite; 

 $200; Richard Gross, Leader; reports available. 



Address inquiries to: Richard Gross, New Jersey State Fisheries Laboratory 

 126 North Main Street, Milltown, N. J. 



19. Creel Census on Certain Important New Jersey Lakes. 



Objectives of the project are to study fishing success on several important 

 lakes that receive heavy fishing pressure in order to obtain routine population 

 and census statistics, and, also, to establish a basis for comparing fishing 

 success in the years to come. 



Statewide; began 1952, indefinite; $1,000; Richard Gross, Leader; reports 

 available. 



Address inquiries to Richard Gross, as in No. 18 above. 



20. Aquatic Weed Control. (FA: F-l-R) 



The project objective is to develop and test practical aquatic weed control 

 methods.
