Fisheri es Division has pri mary responsibility for maintenance, development and regulations on use of re newable fish­ eries resources through five sections: administration, management, production, research, and the fi ne new Aquarium Center.

The Administrative Section plans, organizes, di rects and controls approved programs, policies and operational pro­ cedures of the division. Special permits issued duri ng 1979 include: Mi ssouri River Commercial Fishing 240; Bait Vendors 222; Non-resident Fish Dealer 6; Commercial Put-and Take 3; and Private Fish Culturist 29.

Fish Management

The Fish Management Section's major assignments are perpetuation and development of Nebraska's renewable aquatic resources. This entails management of all public lakes (totaling over 130,000 su rface acres) and all streams (10,768 productive miles).

Fish Population Surveys

Surveys were conducted on 75 lakes and reservoirs to determine species distribution, relative abundance, sizes, growth rates, survival of stocked fish, opportunities for habitat improvement, evaluation of management techniques, to assess winteKkill and to provide a basis for reg ulatio n and need for the fish stocking, Some 25 streams were surveyed to collect information on relative abundance of desirable fish, stocking survival and projected influence of proposed water development projects on existing fish populations and to update the state's stream inventory.

Renovations

Complete renovation is a chemical treatment used when fish populations are primarily composed of undesirable species and where good control of reinfestation of undesirable fish is possible. Du ri ng 1979, fishery perso nnel participated 1n t he re novation of 6 private farm ponds and 8 public lakes. In addition, a three mile stretch of one stream was re novated prior to impoundment of a NRD lake,

Habitat Improvement

Habitat improvement in lakes included maintenance of the exist!ng aeration systems to prevent winterkill in six lakes at Fremont ; at t he Long La ke State Recreation Area in Brown County; at Smith La ke ln Sheridan County, and at t he Victori a Springs Lake in Custer County.

YCC personnel were utilized to repair stream banks on Nine Mile Creek Special Use Area and Pi ne Creek, They also constwcted and inplaced fish reefs/attractors in Buckskin Hill s Lake, Red Willow Reservoir (with assistance from McCook National Guard), 1-80 La ke 174N, Conestoga La ke, and Cub Creek. Pond mills (ae ration devices) were also assembled and placed in Shell Lake and Un i Lake. Agency personnel gave assistance to local bass cl ubs with habitat projects ori Branched Oak, Wagon Train and Standing Bear La kes.

Fish Tagging

Marking and tagging of fish helps determine stocking survival, annual mortality, and behavior of game fish. During the year, 2,977 fi sh were marked or tagged to determine harvest rates, stocking survival, movement, and other pert inent information. Techn iques used were primaril y the disc dangler tag and fluorescent dye ma rking.

Species involved included 1,200 channel catfish at the fish Weir on the No rth Platte River, largemouth and small­ mouth bass at Me rritt Reservoir, channel catfish at Melham Park and Victoria Springs Lake, rainbow trout in Boardman Creek and the Snake River, brown trout in Pine Creek and Hol t County streams.

The Fisheries Research Section is charged with providing new information and developing new management techniques for fisheries managers. Toward this end, several projects were continued in 1979 and a number of new projects were in it iated, The Fisheries Research staff is also expected to provide technical assistance to other fishery personnel when needed.

Daryl Ellison joined the staff as a research biologist. He is stationed in Ogall ala and will conduct studies in the western third of Nebraska.

Work continued on a multi-agency effort to publish the results of a study designed to ascertain the effects of heated nuclear power plant effluent on the biota of the Missou ri River, Arrangements have been made with Bob Kendall, editor of the American Fisheries Society, to include the finished work in a monograph. Several chapters have reached the rough draft stage of writing. Coordination of this effort is being handled by Larr y Hesse.

Results of a project designed to assess the biological importance of the to the Missouri River-Lewis and Clark Lake complex were analyzed and compiled into a Nebraska Technical Series publication, Th is study was amended to further study the relationship of water quality and invertebrate populations of the Niobrara Rive r., Invertebrates are the major food source for young fish and water quality is periodically degraded due to the flush ing of Spencer Dam. T his study should provide further insight into the potential for managing the Niobrara as a nursery stream for Lewis and Cla! k Lake. The final report on the last segment of the project will be available in early 1980.

The original intention of the above study was to evaluate the Niobrara River as a potential nu rsery site for Lewis and Clark Lake. A 3-year project will begin in 1980 to evaluate experi mental !ltockings of northern pike, walleye and sauger finge rlings in the Niobrara on the Lewis and Clark Lake fishery.

A project designed to develbp a management plan for the Missouri Rive r fishery was continued. A creel census of the commercial and sport fishermen was completed in March 1979, A final report covering the creel census and a previously completed study to assess the effect •of hoop net mesh size on the catch of channel catfish will be completed in early 1980. A thi rd study has been added to the: project that will produce a detall ed descri ptmn of the fishery available on the Missouri River on a mile by mile basis. The information wil! be used when assign ing pr\01ity to potentlal access sites.

. The study designed to compare the temperature tolerance and preference of Mcconaughy and domestic strain rai nbow 'trout has been completed. A final report as a techcnical series article will be publiched in1980.

Wo rk continued toward development of a comprehenslve report on the !umnology of Lake Mcconaughy. The fi nal publication may be ava ilable in early 198L

A study was initiated to determine the fishermen use and catch on Maskenthine Reservo ir, a new 100-acre impound­ ment near Stanton, Nebraska. As a secondary objective , the effectiveness of a 12" minimum slze li mit on largemouth bass is to be evaluated. The results of this study will be very valuable in convincing Na tural Resou rce Districts to provide for fish~ ery benefits when planning small watershed dams. The study will continue for three years.

A large volume of fisheri es data has been collected from the Missouri River, One piece of information that is always missing when discussi ng management strategy is the absolute size of va ri ous populations, In an attempt to estimate the pop­ ulat ion density of important species, a project was inititated to mark and recapture fish behind wing d ikes during the winter. Prel iminary results have been encouraging. This project will extend for a period of at least three years, depending upon winter conditions on the ri ver.

Several small streams in northeastern Nebraska pm vide the only coldwater fish habitat in that quarter of the state. A project has been initiated to develop a management plan to enhance the fishery value of these unique streams. Field work will begin in 1980 and continue t hrough 198L

Branched Oak lake contains the primary self-sustaining walleye population in eastern Nebraska. Population statistics are needed from this population to allow proper management. A project to accomplish this was in it iated in 1979, and will continue through 1980.

33 Panfish in southeastern Nebraska impoundments are notoriously small. As a consequence they do not provide the fishing that is normally expected of panfish populations. A study w il l begin in 1980 to collect background data to be used in developing management programs to alleviate this problem.

Nebraska contains a number of reservoirs with harvestable quantities of commercial fish species. To assess the potential for harvesting this resource, an experimental fishery was established. One fisherman has been contracted to fish selected waters for three years. Seining will be the only method of take allowed. The effect on the fishery of this harvest will be evaluated along with the economics of the harvesting operation.

As a result of a collapse in the forage base, the Lake Mcconaughy fishery declined significantly in 1978. Preliminary data on predator fishes and the available forage was collected in 1979. As a result two forage fish species, threadfin shad and spottai! shiner, wl!I be introduced in 1980 in an attempt to restore the forage base. Post-treatment studies will continue for five years.

Many fishery problems can be solved by altering the trophic ecology of the food chain. One way to accomplish this is t hrough the introduction of a small, vulnerable forage species such as threadfin shad. A study will be initiated in 1980 to develop means of maintaining a source of threadfin shad and evaluating their effects on several different types of fisheries. This study will continue for five years.

Wo rk continued toward summarization of all white perch data from Nebraska and the creating of a complete biblio­ graphy on white perch. Publication of this work should be finished in 1981 .

Field work was completed in 1978 on a study designed to provide base! ine data on the current status of the com­ mercial fishery resource of the unchannelized and stabilized Missou ri River. Preliminary results of this study are available in progress reports. The final report w ill be published as a technical series article in early 1981.

The fi eld segment of a project designed to determine the importance of tributaries to the Missouri River commercial fishery was completed in 1978, and a final report submitted in 1979.

The Ak-Sar-Ben AqL:arium

The Ak-Sa r-B en Aquari um, located at Schramm State Park SRA, ls set against the bluffs of the Platte River. The Aquari um is nine m il es south of Gretna on Highway 31. Schramm Pa rk is a!so t he location of the old Gretna flsh Hat­ chery which was in ope~ation from 1882 through 1972.

The year was divided into two definite periods. First were t he activit ies to prepare for opening and second were the dail y activit ies necessary to keep the operation functioning after opening. The full time biologist staff moved into the Aquar­ ium in January and started preparation fo r the gra nd opening at that time,

Pre-opening Activities

A punch list was completed by the staff and project architect for the bu n!ding . This list contained the items that needed repair or completion before the bu il ding was accepted by the Game and Pa rks Commission, Considerable time was spent with the sub-contractors showing them t he work to be completed.

A scatteri ng of equipment and supplies was moved from the Lincoln office to t he Aquarium in January and the per­ manent staff began working out of the Aquarium, Janitorial, office and fish cam supp0es were requisitioned and purchased along with all the furn ishing for the building. This included desks, cha ij rs, projectors, screens, janitorial equipment and neces .. sarv equipment for fi sh collection.

Aquarium Preparation

The aquari ums were constructed of precast concrete and, therefore, had to be acid-etched with muriatic acid. The tanks were then painted with six to eight coats of black swimm ing pool paint on the sides and bottom. The next step was to cut corrugated fiber-glass roofing to fit the tank bottoms, Saw kerfs were placed in the fibe r glass to allow the water to pass down through the fiber glass to the tank bottom. After a fit had been obtained these were removed for later use. Plastic bio-ri ngs were placed in the bottom of the tanks. These am for the bacteria to attach to and serve as our filter sytem. The bio-rings were hand placed so as many as possible could be placed in a tank. After these were in place the fiber glass roofing was then placed over the top and we were ready to install t he rock. All rock used in the aquari ums was hand washed to remove dirt. In total, over 110,000 pounds of rock was used in the 12 aquarium s. The aquariums were then filled with water and flushed several times before they were filled for the fi nal time. After the water aged for a couple of days the tanks were then injected with bacteria. A healthy bacteria culture is needed to break down the fish wastes and keep the tanks clean. Artificial vegetation, rocks and painted backdrops were used to decornte the tanks.
