3. Effect of Diet Upon the Chenriical Composition of the Trout Body. 



The objective is to determine the effect of the diet upon the fat, protein, and 

 ash content of the trout body so that optimum levels for the major food groups 

 (fat, protein and carbohydrate) may be tentatively established.

4. Use of Radio-active Isotopes in Trout Nutrition Studies. 



The objective is to study the absorption, utilization, and retention of dis- 

 solved minerals and their role in trout nutrition and physiology.

5. Effect of Metabolic Products Upon the Carrying Capacity of Ponds and Troughs. 



The objective is to study the products of metabolism that limit the numbers 

 and weight of fish that may be held in hatchery equipment and to develop methods 

 for their control.

1. Fishing Access Area. 



It is the aim of this project to make available to the fishing public of the State 

 those waters which provide good sport fishing, but are unavailable because of 

 limitations of private property or physical terrain. Small tracts of land are pur- 

 chased or taken under long-term lease. These areas are developed as parking 

 sites for cars, boat trailers and boat launching points. 



Statewide; began July 1952, indefinite; $51,000; Buford Tatum, Leader. 



Address inquiries to: J. H. Cornell, Chief, Fish Division, North Carolina 

 Wildlife Resources Commission, Box 2919, Raleigh, N. C. 



2. Fish Management Investigations of Coastal Streams. (FA: F-2-R) 



The basic objective continues to be the discovery of the corrective measures 

 necessary to increase the abundance of game fish in the coastal streams of North 

 Carolina. This includes continued checks of the game fish and non-game fish popu- 

 lations in representative streams, the resolving of the factor limiting game fish 

 production, and the testing of types of fishing gear designed to remove unwanted 

 fish species with a minimum of harm to the desired game fish. Tagging, age and 

 growth studies, and angling success will be used as indices in the test areas. 



Little River and Brice's Creek; began July 1, 1951, to close December 1, 1954; 

 $23,000; A. W. Dickson, Leader; reports available.

3. Fish Management Investigations of Farm Ponds. (FA: F-3-R) 



Data are being secured which will lead to the more efficient management of 

 farm ponds by determining the most successful stocking ratios and species com- 

 binations for North Carolina, obtaining general information on farm pond
