6. Age and Growth of the River Carpsucker, Carpiodes carpio.in Lake Texonna. 



Objective of the project is to determine the age and calculate growth of 

 the river carpsucker. Seine collections were made at widely separated sta- 

 tions on the lake to determine whether there are growth differences at the dif- 

 ferent stations.

8. A Study of Connmercial Fishing in Lake Texoma. 



objectives of the project are to study the commercial fishing of Lake Texonna, 

 particularly fronn the standpoint of the species taken, relative numbers of each, 

 and possible effects on game fish and sport fishing. Other general information 

 such as number of fishermen, success of various types of gear, value of the 

 fishery etc . , is being collected. 



Game and Fish Departnaent and U. S. Army Corps of Engineers cooperating;

9. Fisheries Investigation of Tenkiller Reservoir During its First Year of Impound- 

 ment. 



This project is the initial post-impoundnnent study of the fishes, fish popula- 

 tions, and growth rates in this new eastern Oklahoma impoundment. 



Game and Fish Department cooperating; Tenkiller Reservoir; began June 1953, 

 to close December 1953; Gordon E. Hall, Leader; reports available. 



Address inquiries to: Gordon E. Hall, Fishery Research Laboratory, Box 14,

10. Age and Growth of White and Black Crappie in Oklahoma Waters. 



Scales of over 10, 000 white crappie from 130 bodies of water and 2, 400 black 

 crappie from 83 bodies of water are being studied. Analysis is to establish 

 average rates of growth under various environmental conditions in Oklahoma and 

 to create standards for use in comparing crappie growth in future population 

 analyses and nnanagement recommendations. 



Game and Fish Department cooperating; statewide; began September 1953, 

 to close April 1954; reports available. 



Address inquiries to: Gordon E. Hall, as in No. 9 above. 



11. Pre-impoundment Survey of the Fishes of the Little River System in Central
