Report on study conducted in response 

 to pressure from sport fishermen 

 for abolition of commercial fishing 

 in the bay. Observations on the com- 

 mercial fishery, tagging experiment 

 on black bass, analysis of commer- 

 cial fishery statistics, creel-census 

 records, . . .proved the contentions of 

 sport fishermen concerning damage 

 to angling from commercial opera- 

 tions to be invalid. Continuance of 

 commercial fishing was recommended 

 as desirable in this basically rough - 

 fish water. Elimination of nets from 

 one small area about 3 months each 

 summer was the only change of regula- 

 tion suggested.

lampreys. Copeia, 1952, No. 3, 



pp. 203-204. 

 Report on successful marking of 

 larval lampreys as small as 30 milli- 

 meters long by subcutaneous injection 

 of cadium sulfide, mercuric sulfide, 

 and carbon. Marks had not faded 

 after 1 to 1-1/2 years.

The Fisherman, Vol. 1, No. 6, 



pp. 3-4 and 10. 

 Review of researches emphasizing 

 the fact that harmful effect of pollution 

 near mouths of certain rivers was 

 counterbalanced, at least in part, by 

 benefits from nitrogen and other fer- 

 tilizing elements in pollutants. It was 

 stated that pollution could not explain 

 the lowered productivity of the fisheries.

1955. Limnological survey of western 



Lake Erie. Fish and Wildlife Serv.,

 341 pp. (Includes "The phytoplankton 

 of western Lake Erie", by L.H. 

 Tiffany; "The zooplankton of west- 

 ern Lake Erie", by Wilbur M. Tidd.) 

 Based principally on observations made 

 in April -October 1929 and 1930, the 

 report covers a limnological survey 

 conducted with special reference to 

 pollution. Extensive data are given 

 on physical limnology, water chemistry, 

 bottom fauna, phytoplankton, and zoo - 

 plankton. Pollution was heavy in 

 limited areas near the mouths of some 

 rivers and was moderate in larger 

 areas, but much of western Lake Erie 

 was free of pollution. Because harmful 

 effects of pollution were counterbal- 

 anced by beneficial effects of increased 

 fertility, it was concluded that pollution 

 was not a controlling factor in the wel- 

 fare of the fisheries.
