1940, Tagging experiments with lake trout, 



whitefish, and other species of fish 



from Lake Michigan. Trans. Amer. 



Fish. See. 69:63-84. 



Analysis of data on recoveries of 

 388 or 13.4 percent of 2,902 fish (nearly 

 half of them lake trout) tagged at Port 

 Washington, Wis., to establish patterns 

 of movement of lake trout, whitefish, 

 lake herring, yellow perch, rainbow 

 trout, lake sturgeon, and other species. 

 Recaptures of lake trout were at first 

 local but within 3 years were fairly 

 well scattered throughout the Lake. 

 Movements of other fishes varied from 

 species to species. Data are included 

 on the growth of tagged lake trout, 

 rainbow trout, whitefish, and sturgeon.

1954. Method of producing plastic impres- 

 sions of fish scales without using heat. 

 Progr. Fish-Cult. l6(2):75-78. 



Principal features of the roller-press 

 described are: large, 3-inch rollers 

 that apply the pressure over a relatively 

 wide area; micrometer adjustment for 

 the control of the spacing between 

 rollers; reduction gear to permit slow 

 passage of the plastic strip between the 

 rollers. Detailed instructions are given 

 for the use of the equipment.

1956a. Life history of lake herring of Green 

 Bay, Lake Michigan. Fish Wildl. Serv., 

 Fish. Bull. 57:87-138. 



A general inquiry including data on: 

 production and commercial importance; 

 size, age, and growth; year-class 

 strength; length-weight relation; dis- 

 tribution and movements; and sex ratio, 

 maturity, fecundity, and spawning 

 season and grounds. Discusses in de- 

 tail the problem of "growth compen- 

 sation" and the biasing effects of 

 selective fishing on samples of the 

 stock.

1956b. Research vessel Cisco operations 

 in 1955. Com. Fish. Rev. 18(5):21-23. 



Brief statement of the research pro- 

 gram in northern Lake Michigan on the 

 abundance, distribution, and natural 

 history of chubs, and on the limnology 

 (hydrography, plankton, bottom organ- 

 isms).

1957a. Evolution and distribution of the 

 coregonids. J. Fish. Res. Bd. Can. 

 14(4):599-604. 



Theory of evolution and dispersal 

 is based on hypothesis that Coregonus 

 originated in northwestern Eurasia, 

 Pros opium and Stenodus in Siberia and 

 northwestern America, and Leucichthys 

 in northeastern America. Variability 

 and plasticity of forms are greatest in 

 and near regions of origin. Species 

 near the extremity of the range of a 

 genus are fewer and more stable.

1957b. Limnological surveys of the Great 

 Lakes--early and recent. Trans. Amer. 

 Fish. Soc. 86:409-418. 



Reviews first the early explorations 

 and casual observations and the initial 

 limnological studies--useful but scat- 

 tered and small-scale. The most effec- 

 tive surveys have been possible through 

 interagency cooperation, which permits 

 a pooling of facilities, staff, and equip- 

 ment. Expansion of limnological re- 

 search on the Great Lakes has been 

 rapid in late years, and the outlook for 

 the future is good.

1960. Great Lakes research. Wis.Conserv. 

 Bull. 25(2):18, 19, 22, 23. 



Broad comments on the futility of 

 attempting to understand the Great 

 Lakes, their fish stocks, and the 

 environment without properly designed 

 and equipped research vessels are fol- 

 lowed by details on the two largest 

 research vessels of the Bureau of 

 Commercial Fisheries on the Great 

 Lakes, the Cisco and the Siscowet . 

 Information is given on size, accom- 

 modations , navigational equipm ent, 

 fishing gear, and scientific equipment. 

 Past, present, and planned programs for 

 the vessels are reviewed.

1962a. Lake Erie or Lake Eerie? Izaak 

 Walton Mag. 27(4):4-5. 



The normal process of aging has 

 been accelerated in Lake Erie through 

 eutrophication from the enormous and 

 growing inflow of sewage and organic 

 waste. Conditions are aggravated by 

 additions of toxic substances, siltation, 

 and other factors. Water quality has 

 deteriorated past the danger point. Ad-
