Its objective is to provide fishery administrators, teachers, research workers, and managers a means of keeping abreast of current work in fish conser- vation and restoration activities. It is believed that the publication will stimulate a greater exchange of ideas among those engaged in similar projects, will aid in preventing needless duplication of effort, and will furnish a comprehensive picture of our sport-fishery programs. The Survey is a cooperative venture which deals primarily with work in progress. Past accomplishments or future plans have been included only when they were directly related to current work. Because of space linnitations it was necessary to exclude reports on fish stocking, law enforcement, public relations, and similar routine management operations. Reports on individual projects are necessarily brief, and the space assigned does not reflect the importance of a project. So far as possible, the Fish and Wildlife Service has limited its editing of completed questionnaires to the standardi- zation of format and attainment of clarity. The Service serves only as a clearing- house and means of publication. Readers desiring additional information are re- quested to direct inquiries to the responsible agency as given under the project description rather than to the Fish and Wildlife Service, except where the project is listed as an undertaking of the Service. Since there is no complete directory of agencies and institutions engaged in projects covered by the Survey, undoubtedly some have been overlooked. Readers knowing of such omissions are urged to notify the Fish and Wildlife Service, so that the omitted agency may have opportunity to provide reports for . the next edition. Annual changes in fishery programs are not sufficient to warrant publication of the Survey every year. Therefore, an edition was not published for 1955. The issuance of future editions will depend on the need for bringing the list- ing of projects up to date and on the expressed desires of cooperators. EXPLANATION OF PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Material reported by the several game and fish departments, universities, and Federal and private agencies, is arranged in the following order: 1. Title of project. 2. Objectives and description. 3. General explanator information: a. Cooperating agencies. b. Area covered and/or location of headq\aarters. c. Date project began and expected completion date. d. Estimated cost of current segment. e. Name of the leader. f. Availability of reports. 4. Person or office to receive inquiries concerning further details and accomplishments The cost figure, when given, is that reported for the current year or seg- ment and does not represent the entire cost of a project with a life o more than one year. U the reporting agency stated that reports on the project, or phases thereof, are available, this is indicated. For infornnation on the availability of reports on Fish and Wildlife Service projects write to the person indicated in that particular project. SUMM.\RY OF LISTINGS BY AGENCY TYPE The borad scope of projects listed in the Survey reflects the attention being given our sport-fishery resources by many agencies. On the basis of numbers alone, leading contributors are the State fish and game departments, colleges and universities are second, and Federal agencies are third. Since the cost of many projects is not given, it is impossible to present a summary of the amount of money being spent by the various agencies.

In an effort to learn the cause of the noise and vibration, Frizell and Elgin conducted field measurements on all four outlet tubes on June 19, 1984, see appendix. They discovered that the outlet tubes in the vicinity of the dresser couplings had a maximum peak-to- peak displacement of 3.47 mils (0.089 mm) at a frequency of about 176 Hz. This frequency corresponds approximately to the audible tone of F below middle C. Their measurements were made with a gate opening of 81 percent. This opening produced a discharge of 4,350 ft3/s per valve at a reservoir elevation of 3697.45. Possible causes for the noise include: a. Cavitation of the valve or man door b.

The authors report 27 human poisonings from ingestion of puffer fish in patients treated at Toxicology Centers in the states of Santa Catarina and Bahia, Brazil, between 1984 and January 2009. Poisonings were classified as moderate (52%) and severe (33%), two deaths were observed. Early diagnosis is very important to ensure respiratory support. KEYWORDS: Puffer fish;Tetrodotoxin; Poisonous fish; Saxitoxin; Human poisoning. INTRODUCTION reports of human death by bradycardia not responsive to any treatment (total atrioventricular blockage)14. The puffer fish (known as “baiacu” in Brazil) is a widely distributed bony fish. There are about 120 species worldwide; most of them are STX is responsible for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP)10 which found in tropical and subtropical regions, and there are also freshwater causes a range of symptoms similar to TTX envenomation16.

One of the two dams at the W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant near Lumberton had previously been classified as posing an intermediate risk, requiring a safety inspection once every five years, while the other dam was exempt from safety inspections. One pond contains coal ash; the other stores water in a cooling pond. A high hazard rating by the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources calls for increasing annual inspections for structural integrity to once a year. “If the coal ash storage pond were to fail, material from the coal ash storage area would likely flow southeast and could impact four occupied homes located closely together on the east side of both the coal ash storage pond and the cooling pond,” said DENR spokesman Jamie Kritzer.

A string of successful projects, from the opening of the St. Croix fishway to the renewal of commercial fishing on Card Mill Stream in Franklin, have fueled growing momentum for restoration of rivers and streams, big and small. This report is an update on the status of river herring runs in eastern Maine. It describes the value of river herring and some of the many projects underway to allow river herring to swim upstream to their spawning habitat. Because river herring are a keystone species in freshwater and marine systems—and are so responsive to restoration efforts—they have become a focus of the Downeast Fisheries Partnership effort to restore fisheries in eastern Maine.

  • Zebra Mussel Task Force Final Recommendations
    Zebra Mussel Task Force Final Recommendations Introduction In November 2009, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs (EEA) convened the Zebra Mussel Task Force (ZMTF) to make recommendations to the Secretary of EEA on an updated action plan to address the presence of zebra mussels (ZMs) in water bodies of the Commonwealth. The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and Department of Fish and Game (DFG) play an essential role in protecting and preserving the natural resource of the Commonwealth in general and in particular with respect to ZMs. DCR is steward of one of the largest state parks systems in the country. Its 450,000 acres is made up of forests, parks, greenways, historic sites and landscapes, seashores, lakes, ponds, reservoirs and watersheds. DCR’s mission is to “protect, promote and enhance our common wealth of natural, cultural and recreational resources.” The DCR Lakes and Ponds Program has statewide responsibility to manage, protect, and restore the Commonwealth’s lakes and ponds. As part of this responsibility, the DCR Lakes and Ponds Program provides statewide leadership in aquatic invasive species (AIS) planning, management, technical assistance and education. The DCR Lakes and Ponds program has developed an aggressive, multi- pronged program to address the threat of AIS that includes hands-on management of AIS, training programs for citizens, boat ramp monitoring, education and outreach programs and materials, and ongoing planning and research to keep up to date on the science of AIS management. The Office of Fishing and Boating Access (OFBA) in the DFG is responsible for constructing, providing for the management of and regulating state public access facilities such as boat ramps at water bodies across the Commonwealth.

One such discipline is the ancient study of taxonomy, the discovery and organization of life on Earth. New techniques like DNA sequencing are allowing taxonomists to gain insight into the tangled web of relationships between species (among the Acanthomorph fish, for example).
