1. Fisheries Investigations of Mainstenn, Missouri River Reservoirs 



This project aims to provide a basic understanding of fish populations in 

 Fort Randall (70, 000 acres) and Gavins Point (30, 000 acres) Reservoirs. The 

 project includes: (1) Test netting, seining and poisoning permanently estab- 

 lished sampling stations on each reservoir and its tailwaters; (2) sauger tag- 

 ging in the tailwaters of each reservoir; (3) creel census of Fort Randall 

 Reservoir and tailwaters; and (4) special studies such as the effect of draw- 

 dov/ns to expose carp eggs and qualitative food studies of important fish 

 species. 



U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U. S. Corps of Engineers cooperating; 

 Missouri River; began June 1954, indefinite; $15,000; James T. Shields, 

 Leader; reports available. 



Address inquiries to: William D. Clothier, Woonsocket, South Dakota. 



2. Construction of Public Fishing Lakes 



This is a continuing program of new lake construction for recreational 

 purposes. 



Statewide; began about 1930, indefinite; $53, 715 ; Edmund S. Jacobsen, 

 Leader. 



Address inquiries to: Edmund S. Jacobsen, Department of Game, Fish 

 and Parks, Pierre, South Dakota. 



3. Incidence and Distribution of Fish Parasites 



This study represents one segment of a long-range plan to assimilate 

 basic knowledge on the ecology and distribution of fishes within South Dakota. 

 Samples of fish are collected throughout the State by the Game, Fish and Parks 

 Department and submitted to the College for analysis under a cooperative 

 agreement. 



South Dakota State College cooperating; statewide; began June 1955, to close 

 July 1957; $2,000; Ernest J. Hugghins, Leader; reports available. 



Address inquiries to: William D. Clothier, as in No. 1 above. 



4. Statewide Lake Survey 



This project is designed to provide quantitative figures on fish population 

 dynamics, habitat potentials and management needs of artificial and natural 

 lakes. Present emphasis is placed on one lake in each major region of the 

 State, representing either a bass -bluegill, walleye-northern pike or trout type. 

 Each type is viewed, primarily, from the standpoint of physical characteristics, 

 water chemistry, fish species connposition, age and rate of growth, natural
