In 1952 a revised listing of doctoral dissertations 

 relating to the management and ecology of fish and fisheries was 

 published as Special Scientific Report — Fisheries No. 87. This 

 report covered the academic years from 1934 through 1950-51. 

 The present report is a continuation of listings of dissertations 

 covering the 4-year period from 1951-52 through 1954-55. 



Titles have been taken from the annual "Doctoral Dis- 

 sertations Accepted by American Universities," 1951-52 to 1954- 

 55, published by H. W. Wilson Company, New York. The list is 

 complete only to the extent of coverage of reference material 

 and the ability of the compiler to recognize titles of signifi- 

 cance and adequately interpret them. 



Many theses are never published, and the information 

 contained in the unpublished material is not readily available 

 to the researcher. All theses however, are on file in the 

 libraries of the institutions where they were accepted. Inter- 

 library loans can be arranged with almost all of these institu- 

 tions.
