1. The Fishes of Nevada 



The objectives are to describe, key, and characterize taxonomically and 

 ecologically, the fishes of the State so that this information will be available to 

 fish and game biologists, University personnel, and biologists in general. 



State Fish and Game Commission cooperating; statewide; began June 1952, 

 to close 1957; $7,500; Ira LaRivers, Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Ira La Rivers, Biology Department, University of 

 Nevada, Reno, Nevada. 



2. Limnology of Pyramid Lake 



The project was initiated in 1948 in cooperation with the State Fish and 

 Game Commission as a research effort of the Biology Department of the Uni- 

 versity of Nevada to determine methods of reviving the once extensive cut- 

 throat trout fishery of the lake. To date, it has included annual surveys of the 

 physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the lake on the part of 

 both the State Fish and Game Commission and the University of Nevada. 



State Fish and Game Commission and Piute Indian Tribal Council cooper- 

 ating; began August 1948, to close 1958; $1, 000; Ira La Rivers, Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Ira La Rivers, as in No. 1 above. 



3. The Algae of Nevada 



The project was officially initiated in the spring of 1952. Its objectives 

 are: (1) To determine the species of algae present in the State sind note their 

 distributions, and (2) thereby to make taxonomic and ecologic information of 

 these basic food chain plants available to Nevada fish and game technicians as 

 well as to fish management studies which the Biology Department of the University 

 of Nevada has under way. 



Chicago Museum of Natural History cooperating; statewide; began March 

 1952, to close 1957; $500; Ira La Rivers, Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Ira La Rivers, as in No. 1 above.

1. Bass Management Investigations 



The project objectives are to instigate and evaluate nnanagement tech- 

 niques to improve and promote better fishing for warm water species, pri- 

 marily bass at present. The effect of total and partial reclamation is being 

 studied along with various fish population control measures, forage studies, 

 original introductions of bass into waters without the aid of total reclamation, 

 control of parasites, primarily bass tapeworm, and the development of 

 sources of parasite free largemouth and smallmouth bass fry and aduts. 



Statewide; began May 1950, to close April I960; $20,000; Arthur D. Riel, 

 Leader; reports available. 



Address inquiries to: Arthur D. Riel, Management and Research Division, 

 New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, 34 Bridge Street, Concord, New 

 Hampshire. 



2. Bass Tapeworm Survey 



The primary objectives of this survey were: (1) To determine the degree 

 to which the smallmouth bass and other species of fish were infected with the
