INTRODUCTION 



This is a revision of the Special Scientific Reports Fisheries 

 No. 31» This list is composed of titles of doctoral theses vnritten 

 between 193U and the 19^0-1951 school yearj on subjects related to the 

 ecology and management of fisheries. Many theses are never published| 

 therefore, the material contained therein is not available to fishery 

 ■workers. All theses are on file in the libraries of the institutions 

 where they were accepted. Interlibrary loans can be arranged with 

 almost all of these institutions. All titles have been taken from 

 "Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities , 1933-193U" 

 to "...1950-1951" (The H. W. Wilson Co., New York), Titles on wildlife 

 have been published in Wildlife Review, Wo. 59, February 19^0, U, S. 

 Fish and Wildlife Service, Neil Hotchkiss, Editor. 



The list is reasonably complete for doctors' theses through 1950o 

 It is incomplete for doctors' theses in 19^1 and contains no masters' 

 theses. Lack of published lists, our failure to examine some published 

 lists, and our failure to secure solicited information account for this 

 incompleteness. Information regarding omissions and errors, and insti- 

 tions, theses, and publications, not included, is solicited.
