The Life History and Economic Status of the Carp in Utah. 



The project undertakes to study intensively the age and rate of growth of the 

 carp in one locality in Utah, and support this study with other extensive data from 

 several areas; to determine the food and feeding habits of the carp in the same 

 locality; to make both intensive and extensive observations on general carp 

 ecology; to study carp reproduction; to continue to investigate annual and stand- 

 ing carp crops in small ponds or impoundments. 



Agricultural Experiment Station cooperating; statewide; began July 1949, 

 planned for 6 years; $1,000; reports available. 



Address inquiries to: Williann F. Sigler, as in No. 1 above. 



The Ecology of the Warm- Water Ponds. 



The project is designed to study the life history of the fish present in the 

 small natural warm-water ponds, study of the limnology of these ponds, and to 

 determine what fish will reproduce naturally and produce a fishable popiilation 

 of game fish. 



Northern Utah; began June 1948, planned for 10 years; $500; report available.

1. Lake Champlain Fisheries Investigation. (FA: F-l-R) 



Objectives of the project are to gather sufficient data to provide a basis for 

 management recommendations. The problenn is being approached through an 

 intensive winter fishing census, a sampling of summer fishing, collection of 

 data for a growth-rate study of walleyes, perch and other species, a summer 

 population check with ennphasis on associations of game, non-game and forage 

 species including a check of relative success of spawning years of several 

 species through sampling of typical nursery areas. The walleye study is de- 

 signed to tag annually several thousand specimens seined during their spawning 

 run, with subsequent collection of data on population status through tag returns. 



New York Conservation Department cooperating; Vermont waters of Lake 

 Champlain; began January 1952, continuing; $15,260; Leonard C. Halnon, Leader; 

 reports available.

2. Connecticut River Watershed Fisheries Investigation. (FA: F-2-R) 



The objectives of the project are to determine the distribution and relative 

 abundance of fish in the watershed; to measure and evaluate the chemical and 

 physical factors having an effect on fish life, especially trout and other game 

 fish; to gather information on rate of growth and reproductive potential in the 

 waters; and to determine the rate of recovery of stocked fish by the use of 

 tagged trout in test waters.
