14. Sinks Canyon Game and Fish Area. (FA: FW-4-L)* 



The project is for the purchase of 155 acres in Fremont County including a 

 half mile of a good trout stream (Pope Agie River). This area joins another 

 state -owned area.

1. Vital Statistics of the Yellowstone Lake Fishery. 



The objective is to determine the numbers of fish and the sizes of fish to be 

 expected at Yellowstone Lake at different levels of fishing pressure and hatchery 

 activity. 



Hdqrs. Logan, Utah; began June 1950, planned for 5 years; Oliver B. Cope, 

 Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Oliver B. Cope, Chief, Rocky Mountain Fishery In- 

 vestigations, Utah State Agricultural College, Logan, Utah. 



2. Stocking Policies for Yellowstone Park Streams. 



The project is to determine the maximum potential harvest in Yellowstone 

 streams, and to recommend the optimum combination of natural reproduction 

 and stocking to achieve this harvest. 



National Park Service cooperating; hdqrs. Logan, Utah; began 1953, to 

 close 1955; Oliver B. Cope, Leader.

 Ganne Commission 



Game Fish Investigations of Alaska. (FA: F-l-R) 



Objectives of the project are: Reconnaissance surveys of sport fishing 

 pressure to determine extent of fishing, species of fish, and relative pressure 

 on individual waters in Fairbanks area; surveys of waters presumed to be barren 

 but suitable for stocking and introduction of sport fish; standard lake and stream 

 surveys of important accessible waters to determine factors affecting production; 

 population composition and productivity investigations of selected waters in Kenai- 

 Susitna areas to determine age-growth and weight-length relationships for man- 

 agement purposes; grayling studies - growth rates, spawning habits, food habits, 

 movements and migrations; and the determination of the significance of the 

 salmon sport fishery in the Ketchikan Derby area and prepare preliminary plans 

 for study to determine needed conservation measures. 



Chiefly in Southeastern Alaska, Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kodiak areas; 

 began October 1, 1951. to close 1955; $71,000; Urban C. Nelson, Leader.
