from Finger Lakes (Keuka) parents were obtained and hatchery-reared yearlings 

 planted concurrently with domestic fish in 1952 and 1953.

6. Management of Landlocked Salmon (Salmo salar sebago) in Little Moose Lake. 



A planting of 2, 000 yearling landlocked salmon was made in June 1953 and 

 sampling in the fall of the same year indicated good survival and growth. Experi- 

 ments are underway to determine the practicability of greater utilization of the 

 outlet as a natural rearing area. Fish traps installed at the lake and at a barrier 

 dam 1/4 miles below permit capture of young salmon moving up or downstream. 

 Plans consist of periodic reduction of connpetitor and predator species (brook 

 trout) in this area, accompanied by fry or eyed egg plantings. 



Adirondack League Club cooperating; Herkimer County; began April 1951, 

 indefinite; $1,500; Dwight A. Webster, Leader.

7. Population Dynamics in the Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) and Frostfish 

 {Prospopium quadrilaterale) in Little Moose Lake, New York: Attennpted Man- 

 agement to Provide Increased Forage Fish for Landlocked Salmon (Salmo salar 

 sebago). 



The management plan consists of netting of whitefish and frostfish in an effort 

 to increase the production of young fish. Statistics on growth, age composition, 

 mortality rates and estimated population are taken as an aid in assessing success 

 of program.

8. Racial Analysis and Structure of Atlantic Coast Striped Bass. 



Objectives of the project are to continue the analysis on racial investigations 

 of the striped bass, Roccus saxatilis (Walbaum). Findings of the past indicate the 

 Hudson River stock is separable from Chesapeake-Delaware stock. 



The Sport Fishing Institute, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, several State 

 Fish and Game Departments, and Fishery Research Stations cooperating; hdqrs.

 September 1952, to close March 31, 1957; $1,600; Edward C. Raney, Leader; 

 reports available.

1. Vitamin Requirements of Trout. 



The objective is to determine the vitamin requirements of trout and the 

 symptoms of deficiencies by means of vitamin test diets and microbiological 

 assays. 



Hdqrs. Cortland; began 1940, continuing. 



Address inquiries to: Arthur M. Phillips, Jr., Chief, Fish Nutrition Labora- 

 tory, Cortland, N. Y. 



2. Development of Practical Diets for Trout. 



The objective is to determine the value of various dietary mixtures in terms 

 of growth, cost of production and mortality of the fish.
