Study Title: Habitat Improvement Study
Contract Period: From January 12 1974 To December 312 1974
Program Narrative Objective Number: 10
Objective: To determine the fish concentration ability of automobile tires,
stake beds, and brush shelters in a reservoir devoid of natural
cover.
I. Segment Objective:
To devise, build and field test a technique for sampling fish concentrat~
ing devices.
_II. Summary of Progress:
During this segment brush shelters, stake beds, and tire shelters were
constructed and placed in two hatchery ponds at the Lewisville State Fish
Hatchery. The ponds were stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, redear
sunfish, crappie, white bass, channel catfish, gizzard shad, river carp-
sucker, carp, and smallmouth buffalo. The fish concentration ability of
each shelter was then evaluated. SCUBA gear was used as the primary means
of evaluation.
Review of current literature combined with collected field data indicate
that sufficient information is now available to accomplish the objective
of this study.
'III. Significant Deviation:
None
IV. Recommendations:
It is recommended that this job be transferred to F-31—R, State-Wide Fisheries
Research.
The last segment of this job will be devoted to the analysis of all data
collected in previous segments. Conclusions and recommendations will be
made at that time.
