LOBSTER LAKE T3 R14, T3 R15, TX R14, and East Middlesex Canal Grant, Piscataquis Co. D.S.C.S. North East Carry and Ragged Lake, Me. Fishes Salmon White sucker Brook trout (squaretail) Longnose sucker Lake trout (togue) Minnows White perch Common shiner Yellow perch Colden shiner Hornpout (bullhead) Fallfish (chub) Smelt Cusk Lake whitefish Banded killifish Physical Characteristics Area - 3,475 acres Temperatures Surface - 67° F. Maximum depth - 106 feet 90 feet - 49° F. Suggested Management The view of nearby mountains and white sand beaches makes Lobster Lake one of the most beautiful lakes in Maine . .Water quality conditions are excellent for coldwater game fishes, and the lake should be managed for its existing popula• tions of salmon and togue. It is unfortunate that yellow perch, white perch, and other fishes are present; otherwise, the lake could produce good brook trout fishing. An unusual situation exists at Lobster Lake. When a large volume of water is flowing down the West Branch of the Penobscot River, the flow of Lobster Stream is reversed, so that the natu~al outlet becomes an inlet. When the water level is low in the river, water discharges from the lake outlet in a nonnal manner. Suitable spawning facilities are available for togue repro• duction, and good spawning and·nursery areas are found in the tributaries for salmon reproduction. These inlets should be kept unobstructed to fish migrations. No stocking of hatchery Surveyed - July, 1958 fish is necessary at the present time.

If I Catch It, Can I Eat It? a Guide to Eating Fish Safely, 2017 Connecticut
If I Catch It, This pamphlet will give you information that will help your family avoid chemicals in fish and eat fish safely. Fish from Connecticut’s waters are a healthy, low-cost source of protein. Conne<ti<ut Oep.trtment Unfortunately, some fish take up chemicals such as mercury and polychlorinated of Public Health Can I Eat It? biphenyls (PCBs). These chemicals can build up in your body and increase health risks. The developing fetus and young children are most sensitive. Women who eat A Guide to Eating Fish Safely fish containing these chemicals before or during pregnancy or nursing may have 2017 Connecticut Fish Consumption Advisory children who are slow to develop and learn. Long term exposure to PCBs may increase cancer risk. What Does The Fish Consumption Advisory Say? The advisory tells you how often you can safely eat fish from Connecticut’s waters and from a store or restaurant. In many cases, separate advice is given for the High Risk and Low Risk Groups. You are in the High Risk Group if you are a pregnant woman, a woman who could become pregnant, a nursing mother, or a child under six. If you do not fit into the High Risk Group, you are in the Low Risk Group. Advice is given for three different types of fish consumption: 1. Statewide FRESHWATER Fish Advisory: Most freshwater fish in Connecticut contain enough mercury to cause some limit to consumption. The statewide freshwater advice is that: High Risk Group: eat no more than 1 meal per month Low Risk Group: eat no more than 1 meal per week 2.

Activity and Food Choice of Piscivorous Perch (Perca Fluviatilis)
Freshwater Biology (2002) 47, 2370–2379 Activity and food choice of piscivorous perch (Perca ﬂuviatilis) in a eutrophic shallow lake: a radio-telemetry study LENE JACOBSEN, SØREN BERG, MADS BROBERG, NIELS JEPSEN and CHRISTIAN SKOV Danish Institute for Fisheries Research, Department of Inland Fisheries, Vejlsøvej, Silkeborg, Denmark SUMMARY 1. Radio transmitters were implanted in large perch (27–37 cm) in a shallow lake in Denmark. Between 6 and 13 perch were tracked every 3 h for 24-h periods twice (summer) or once a month (winter) from August 1997 to July 1998. Activity levels were recorded as minimum distance moved per hour. 2. No significant differences in activity levels of individual fish were observed. 3. Highest activities were observed at daytime with peaks at dawn and dusk or midday. This diel pattern was most pronounced from October to April, whereas diel variations were less in the summer months, with no peaks occurring in midsummer. The general lack of activity at night supports the idea that perch is a visually oriented forager. 4. There was no significant relationship between daytime activity during the year and temperature or day length, but nighttime activity was correlated with temperature. In contrast with previous findings, activity levels varied little seasonally, except for high activity levels that occurred concomitantly with high temperatures in August. Instead, we found a significant relationship between the total distances moved per day and temperature, indicating that perch moved at the same average speed in the wintertime, but did so for shorter periods than in summer because of shorter day lengths. 5.

Clean &Unclean Meats
Clean & Unclean Meats God expects all who desire to have a relationship with Him to live holy lives (Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 1:15). The Bible says following God’s instructions regarding the meat we eat is one aspect of living a holy life (Leviticus 11:44-47). Modern research indicates that there are health benets to eating only the meat of animals approved by God and avoiding those He labels as unclean. Here is a summation of the clean (acceptable to eat) and unclean (not acceptable to eat) animals found in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. For further explanation, see the LifeHopeandTruth.com article “Clean and Unclean Animals.” BIRDS CLEAN (Eggs of these birds are also clean) Chicken Prairie chicken Dove Ptarmigan Duck Quail Goose Sage grouse (sagehen) Grouse Sparrow (and all other Guinea fowl songbirds; but not those of Partridge the corvid family) Peafowl (peacock) Swan (the KJV translation of “swan” is a mistranslation) Pheasant Teal Pigeon Turkey BIRDS UNCLEAN Leviticus 11:13-19 (Eggs of these birds are also unclean) All birds of prey Cormorant (raptors) including: Crane Buzzard Crow (and all Condor other corvids) Eagle Cuckoo Ostrich Falcon Egret Parrot Kite Flamingo Pelican Hawk Glede Penguin Osprey Grosbeak Plover Owl Gull Raven Vulture Heron Roadrunner Lapwing Stork Other birds including: Loon Swallow Albatross Magpie Swi Bat Martin Water hen Bittern Ossifrage Woodpecker ANIMALS CLEAN Leviticus 11:3; Deuteronomy 14:4-6 (Milk from these animals is also clean) Addax Hart Antelope Hartebeest Beef (meat of domestic cattle) Hirola chews

Fillets from farmed yellow perch (Perca flavescens) fed with a commercial diet were compared to wild yellow perch fillets from the Great Lakes of the United States. Mineral, fatty acid and amino acid contents, proximate composition, texture, color and sensory analyses were determined for both treatments. The data were subjected to one-way ANOVA using the statistical analysis system (SAS). Fat content of farmed yellow perch was significantly higher, while protein content was significantly lower, than wild yellow perch. A variety of fatty acids was significantly different between wild and farmed yellow perch. For example, arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6) was significantly higher (Pp0.05) in wild yellow perch fillets; however, no significant differences were found in the total amount of n-3 fatty acids (30% of total fatty acids).

Penobscot Farm, Pine Stream Flowage, Me (7 ½’) Fishes Landlocked salmon Minnows Brook trout Golden shiner Rainbow smelt Common shiner White perch Blacknose dace Yellow perch Creek chub White sucker Physical Characteristics Area - 230 acres Temperatures: Surface - 730F Maximum depth - 36 feet 28 feet - 520F Principal fishery: White perch Little Lobster Lake is located north of Lobster Lake. It is accessible by a gravel road that crosses the outlet. The 2-mile long outlet to Lobster Lake has no physical barriers to fish migration. Large populations of white perch, yellow perch, and suckers limit the ability of the pond to maintain a desirable brook trout fishery. By mid-summer, there is a deficiency in dissolved oxygen at depths below 20 feet. In 1969, the Department constructed a barrier dam on the outlet and attempted to reclaim Little Lobster Lake using rotenone. Shortly after the reclamation the barrier dam washed out and all of the original species reestablished. In the early 1980’s, Little Lobster Lake was one of two waters chosen to test the potential of landlocked salmon treated to be sterile. The purpose of the trial was to produce above-average-size salmon. The treatment and the test failed and the project was discontinued. A few wild salmon and wild brook trout will be produced each year. However, the principal management should continue to emphasize white perch.
