BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS 



Biological studies during the year were confined almost entirely to fish cul- 

 ture in the various hatcheries and rearing stations throughout the province. 



The Ontario Fisheries Research Laboratory of the Department of Biology, 

 University of Toronto, continued the studies of the fish resources of Algonquin 

 Park restricting the work of the most essential features in compliance with the 

 requirements imposed by wartime conditions. 



The Laboratory has continued to receive financial assistance from the On- 

 tario Department of Game and Fisheries, the National Committee on Fish Culture 

 and the University of Toronto. 



The Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries have co-operated in the 

 stocking programme, by making available whatever stocks of speckled trout and lake 

 trout were required from time to time. 



"In the first years of the study of Park lakes it was learned that some of the 

 lakes gave much better returns than others to the anglers and a definite programme 

 for maintaining and improving the fishing was undertaken. These measures of con- 

 servation consisted in stocking certain lakes and streams with speckled trout fry 

 and fingerlings, transferring lake trout from in-Park lakes to those more heavily 

 fished, closing certain lakes in alternate years, and introducing food fish such as 

 perch and lake herring for bass and trout into those lakes where it was found that 

 the food supply was sparse.
