Teachers throughout the state submit the drawings for students in grades K- 12. The drawings dress up the otherwise gray pages of the Texas Register and introduce students to this obscure but important facet of state government. We will display artwork on the cover of each Texas Register. The artwork featured on the front cover is chosen at random. The artwork is published on what would otherwise be blank pages in the Texas Register. These blank pages are caused by the production process used to print the Texas Register. The artwork does not add additional pages to each issue and does not increase the cost of the Texas Register. For more information about the student art project, please call (800) 226-7199.

  • Distribution and Abundance
    DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE IN RELATION TO HABITAT AND LANDSCAPE FEATURES AND NEST SITE CHARACTERISTICS OF CALIFORNIA BLACK RAIL (Laterallus jamaicensis coturniculus) IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY ESTUARY FINAL REPORT To the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service March 2002 Hildie Spautz* and Nadav Nur, PhD Point Reyes Bird Observatory 4990 Shoreline Highway Stinson Beach, CA 94970 *corresponding author contact: [email protected] PRBO Black Rail Report to FWS 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We conducted surveys for California Black Rails (Laterallus jamaicensis coturniculus) at 34 tidal salt marshes in San Pablo Bay, Suisun Bay, northern San Francisco Bay and western Marin County in 2000 and 2001 with the aims of: 1) providing the best current information on distribution and abundance of Black Rails, marsh by marsh, and total population size per bay region, 2) identifying vegetation, habitat, and landscape features that predict the presence of black rails, and 3) summarizing information on nesting and nest site characteristics. Abundance indices were higher at 8 marshes than in 1996 and earlier surveys, and lower in 4 others; with two showing no overall change. Of 13 marshes surveyed for the first time, Black Rails were detected at 7 sites. The absolute density calculated using the program DISTANCE averaged 2.63 (± 1.05 [S.E.]) birds/ha in San Pablo Bay and 3.44 birds/ha (± 0.73) in Suisun Bay. At each survey point we collected information on vegetation cover and structure, and calculated landscape metrics using ArcView GIS. We analyzed Black Rail presence or absence by first analyzing differences among marshes, and then by analyzing factors that influence detection of rails at each survey station.

  • The Use of a Roving Creel Survey to Monitor Exploited Coastal Fish Species in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area, South Africa
    The use of a Roving Creel Survey to monitor exploited coastal fish species in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area, South Africa by Carika Sylvia van Zyl A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Technoligae, Nature Conservation Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University 2011 i I, Carika Sylvia van Zyl (s208027504) hereby declare that the work in this document is my own. ii Abstract A fishery-dependant monitoring method of the recreational shore-based fishery was undertaken in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area (MPA) on the south coast of South Africa for a period of 17 months. The method used was a roving creel survey (RCS), with dates, times and starting locations chosen by stratified random sampling. The MPA was divided into two sections, Buffalo Bay and Groenvlei, and all anglers encountered were interviewed. Catch and effort data were collected and catch per unit effort (CPUE) was calculated from this. The spatial distribution of anglers was also mapped. A generalized linear model (GLM) was fitted to the effort data to determine the effects of month and day type on the variability of effort in each section. Fitted values showed that effort was significantly higher on weekends than on week days, in both sections. A total average of 3662 anglers fishing 21 428 hours annually is estimated within the reserve with a mean trip length of 5.85 hours. Angler numbers were higher per unit coastline length in Buffalo Bay than Groenvlei, but fishing effort (angler hours) was higher in Groenvlei. Density distributions showed that anglers were clumped in easily accessible areas and that they favored rocky areas and mixed shores over sandy shores.

  • Hypothetical Effects of Fishing Regulations in Murphy Flowage, Wisconsin
    ::if I 3 Dept. of Natura1 Reeour~ Technical li !J rary 3911 Fish Hatc.tl9fY Road FitchburR; Wl 53711 • ~97 / HYPOTHETICAL EFFECTS OF FISHING REGULATIONS IN MURPHY FLOWAGE, WISCONSIN Technical Bulletin No. 131 • Department of. Natural Resources • Madison, Wisconsin • 1982 ABSTRACT This paper summarizes the hypothetical effects of bag, season, and size limits on the harvest of panfish, northern pike, and largemouth bass in Murphy Flowage; Wisconsin. Complete angler records were obtained through a compulsory registration-type creel census for 15 years. There were no bag, season, or size limits in effect at any time during the study. The hypothetical reduction in harvest with various regulations was calcu­ lated from detailed harvest records. The present bag limits in effect in most of Wisconsin would have had little effect on the observed harvest in Murphy Flowage. A 50-fish daily bag limit on panfish in aggregate would have reduced the observed harvest 2.9% in summer and 13.8% in winter. A 5-fish daily bag on gamefish would have reduced the northern pike harvest 0:5% in summer and 1.5% in win­ ter, while the harvest of largemouth bass·would have been reduced 2.5% in summer, with no effect in winter. A year-round open season would have had very little effect on the har­ vest. A maximum of 7% of the northern pike and 4% of the largemouth bass were taken during the normal closed season, 1 March to the 1st Saturday of May. A later opening date could have a marked effect on the harvest, especially on largemouth bass since 50% of the annual harvest was taken by the end of June.
