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 pre- venting needless duplication of effort, and will furnish a comprehensive picture of our sport-fishery progranns. The Survey is a cooperative venture which deals primarily with work in pro- gress. Past accomplishments or future plans have been included only when they were directly related to current work. Because of space limitations 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 Wild- life Service has limited its editing of completed questionnaires to the standardization of format and attainment of clarity. The Service serves only as a clearinghouse and means of publication. Readers desiring additional information are requested 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. It ALABAMA (Cont. ) 3.

  • Toxic Dinoflagellate Spores in Ships' Ballast Water
    Final Report FIRDC Grant 89 I 39 Toxic dinoflagellate spores in ships' ballast water : A danger to aquaculture G.M. Hallegraeff CSIRO Marine Laboratories, GPO Box 1538, Hobart, Tasmania 7 001 April 1992 Foreword The present investigations on "Toxic dinoflagellate spores in ships' ballast water" and "its implications for aquaculture" were funded by FIRDC grant 89 I 39 (Sept 1989 - Sept 1991 ) . This research involved a collaborative effort between CSIRO Division of Fisheries and the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), and was instigated by the claim by CSIRO that the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum in Tasmanian waters could have been introduced via cyst stages contained in ships' ballast water. In February 1986, contamination of Tasmanian shellfish with dinoflagellate toxins led to the closure of 15 shellfish farms for periods up to 6 months. Subsequently, similar toxic dinoflagellate outbreaks surfaced in the Australian ports of Adelaide (Aiexandrium minutum ) and Melbourne (Aiexandrium catenella ) . Genetic evidence (rRNA fingerprints) suggest that these latter species are also ballast water introductions. The present research received considerable national and international publicity ( front page news in the Hobart "Mercury" and "Sydney Morning Herald", national television coverage on the "7.30 report" and "Beyond.2000"). The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service has responded to this evidence by introducing, as of 1 February 1990, voluntary ballast water guidelines for ships entering Australian ports from overseas. As of 1 November 1991, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) ratified these guidelines for adoption on an international basis. The present FIRDC- funded research has functioned as a catalyst for further ballast water research funds (600 K) made available by AQIS and BRR.

Fac. Fish., Kagoshima Univ. Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein.

  • Native Fish Conservation
    Yellowstone SScience Native Fish Conservation @ JOSH UDESEN Native Trout on the Rise he waters of Yellowstone National Park are among the most pristine on Earth. Here at the headwaters of the Missouri and Snake rivers, the park’s incredibly productive streams and lakes support an abundance of fish. Following the last Tglacial period 8,000-10,000 years ago, 12 species/subspecies of fish recolonized the park. These fish, including the iconic cutthroat trout, adapted and evolved to become specialists in the Yellowstone environment, underpinning a natural food web that includes magnificent animals: ospreys, bald eagles, river otters, black bears, and grizzly bears all feed upon cutthroat trout. When the park was established in 1872, early naturalists noted that about half of the waters were fishless, mostly because of waterfalls which precluded upstream movement of recolonizing fishes. Later, during a period of increasing popularity of the Yellowstone sport fishery, the newly established U.S. Fish Commission began to extensively stock the park’s waters with non-natives, including brown, brook, rainbow, and lake trout. Done more than a century ago as an attempt to increase an- gling opportunities, these actions had unintended consequences. Non-native fish caused serious negative impacts on native fish populations in some watersheds, and altered the parks natural ecology, particularly at Yellowstone Lake. It took a great deal of effort over many decades to alter our native fisheries. It will take a great deal more work to restore them. As Aldo Leopold once said, “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic com- munity.

  • Fishing in Twelve Michigan Lakes Under Experimental Regulations
    Fishing in Twelve Michigan Lakes Under Experimental Regulations by KENNETH E. CHRISTENSEN FRANKLIN DE KLEINE COMPANY. STATE PRINTERS. LANSING. MICHIGAN 1953 1 -9ntrocluction In recent years (from 1945 to 1951) the Michigan Legislature made several important liberalizations in laws related to fishing for warm-water species, particularly the pan fishes. The size limit on pan fish was eliminated, the closed season on bluegills and sunfish was shortened, and all lakes (except a few "trout lakes") were opened to year-round fishing for perch, crappies, rock bass and certain other species not protected by a closed season. These liberalizations reflected the findings of general creel census on "pike lakes" which had been open to year-round fishing, the results of research parties working on many Michigan lakes over the past twenty years, and especially the findings from intensive studies since 1946 on a group of "test" lakes. The results from studies on the "test" lakes are presented in the present report. In view of the special interest in fishing regulations in connection with these studies, an historical review of Michigan fishing laws is first presented in the following. 3 HISTORY OF REGULATIONS The earliest legislation pertaining to fishing in inland waters of Michigan was concerned with the use of seines and other types of "continuous" nets. One of the first of such laws was Act No. 198, Laws of Michigan 1859 (Public Acts), which listed twelve counties of the extreme southern part of the Lower Peninsula where the use of seines and continuous nets was prohibited. Many of these earlier laws pertained to individual waters.
