5. Chemical Analyses of Trout Blood 



The objectives are to determine the organic and inorganic connposition of 

 fish blood and the factors that alter the chemical composition. These data will 

 furnish valuable information for the study of fish disease and their control. 

 Such data will also provide a measure of the effect of diet, physical environ- 

 mental factors, and disease upon the physiology of trout.

6. The Chemical Embryology of Trout Eggs and Sac Fry 



The objectives are: (1) To determine the chemical changes of trout eggs 

 and sac fry during development and coorelate these changes with physical and 

 dietary factors. (2) To improve the quality of hatchery trout eggs by apply- 

 ing the findings.

7. Cortland Within Service Training School 



This project provides basic and applied information to fish-cultural 

 personnel in an attempt to increase the efficiency of hatchery operation. The 

 training is composed of lectures, laboratory periods, and practice in hatchery 

 management.

1. High Rock Lake Fish Management Investigations 



This project is designed to obtain fish management information on large 

 power reservoirs at low altitude, and 17,000-acre High Rock Lake in particu- 

 lar. Fish sampling stations were set up at which trammel and gill nets were 

 operated and all catches carefully recorded. Rotenone samples were taken 

 for additional data. Water analysis samples were taken at weekly intervals 

 during the summer months and monthly during the winter. An intensive creel 

 census provides catch information and harvest data A final report of field 

 work is now in progress. 



Began July 1955, to close June 1957; $15,000; James Messer, Leader. 



Address inquiries to: L. B. Tebo, Jr. , Box 2919, Raleigh, North Carolina. 



2. Acquisition and Development of Access Areas 



This project is designed to acquire and develop land on innportant public 

 fishing waters which are now or which may become inaccessible to fishermen. 

 Often times leases from power companies, aluminum companies. Army 

 Engineers or T. V. A. provide areas which are inexpensively developed. Facil- 

 ities include a boat ramp and car and trailer parking at no charge.
