54 DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME 



The biologists process applications for fish and inspect a pond if there 

 is doubt as to its qualifications or there is possibility of escape of undesir- 

 able warm-water species into trout waters. Fairly frequently they are 

 also called upon to assist a pond owner with various problems, such as 

 an overgrowth of aquatic plants or dying fish. 



LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS 



Recommendations for changes in fishing laws and regulations, based on 

 survey data and on their general knowledge, were submitted by members 

 of the biological staff as occasion required. 



PUBLIC INFORMATION 



Members of the biological staff participated extensively in the public 

 information program. About 250 talks were given before sportsmen's 

 clubs and other conservation groups, and at least 10 radio and three tele- 

 vision appearances were made. Conservation motion pictures were shown 

 many times at these meetings. Exhibits were prepared for fairs and other 

 public gatherings. 



The printed material consisted of published articles, which are listed 

 in the following section, mimeographed information leaflets, press re- 

 leases, and fishing maps. The latter, issued as folders with the map on one 

 side and informational material on the other, have continued to be very 

 popular. 



The "Anglers' Guide to the Lakes and Streams of the Marble Moun- 

 tains Wilderness Area ' ' was first published during the biennium ; revised 

 editions of the "Striped Bass Fishing Map" and the "Anglers' Guide to 

 the Lakes and Streams of the Trinity Divide" were issued; maps of the 

 Colorado River area and of black bass fishing waters will be issued 

 shortly.
