MISSOURI (Cont. ) 



The remainder of the White River, in Missouri, is soon to be inxindated by 

 the construction of Table Rock Dam. This study will form a portion of a pre- 

 and post-innpoundment study of this river and will be concerned with a distribu- 

 tional study of the fishes in the White River and two tributary streams; Long 

 Creek and the James River. Life history studies will be made of selected 

 fishes which will also be present in the impoundment and will form a background 

 for future studies of these same fishes.

4. A Pre -impoundment Study of the Bottom Fauna in the White River System, 

 Missouri 



The White River and two tributary streams. Long Creek axid James River, 

 will soon be inundated upon the completion of Table Rock Dam. This study is 

 to compare the qualitative and quantitative composition of the bottom fauna 

 of these streams and to contrast the productivity of each streann. It will also 

 form a background for future studies of the bottonn fauna after impoundment. •

5. Studies of the Bottom Fauna of Two Ozark Streams 



The objectives are to determine production and composition of bottom 

 fauna, seasonal variation, habitat preferences, availability, and utilization 

 by several small fishes.
