Period Covered: June 1, 1996 throuri Kovewber 30, 1957 & ABSTRACT: A basic survey and inventory of fish species present wes corducted on the Neches River Wetershed from its source in Van Zandt County to its mouth at Sabine Isake. There was a total of 66 species collected during this period. The soils found in vhe area are light colored, acid sandy loams and sands and clays in the uplands and durker colored soils in the bottom lands and along the ecast. ative vecetation consisty mostly of pines and various hardwoods. There ere sparse amounts of aquatic vecatation. Water analysis shows the waters to be slightly acid. Industrial pollution iz anite evident on the lower section of the river and a small temporary incident was encount- ered upstream. There is a good population of commercial type fishes and a Tair pope: lation of sport fishes. Recommendations are wade for an investigallon “at eyepiece stocking of Dam "B" Reservoir with white bass (Roseus eus crysops ). In addition an eval- uation of the fishing laws in regulatory counties of Jasper end Tyler is recommended. OBJECTIVES : To gather fundamental data on the above waters in regard to their physical, ehetiical and diological aspects. To determine the distribution of the fish spesies present, their relative abundance and the ccological factors influencing sheir dis- tribution, PROCEDI TH: There were two methods of specimen collecting employed in making thie stedy. Seining was by far the most common method of collecting. One-ouerter inch wesh, 26 by 6 foot vag seine and either cotton or nylon common sense minnow scines were used, depending upen the area to be covered and the depth of the water. Generally from ene to four drags were all that was required to make a good collection. Experimental type gill nets of 1 to 3- inch bar mesh were used in the more open, deeper waters and the sloughs of the river. Also this means of collecting was used in the lakes on the river and its drainage. All seined specimens were preserved in ten percent formalin and broucht to the laboratory for identizication. Specimens from gil] nete were identified, counted and --- Page 2 --- weighed in the field. A record was kept of the length and weight of each game fish species and important commercial species. The coefficients of condition ore determined on these species. (Tabie 1). Ecological data taken at each station includes water and air temperatures, weather conditions, surrounding vegetation types (whether timber. grassland ete.) brief description of the stream, turbidity (measured fn inches cf light penetration) and color of the water. Chemical analysis of the water includes pH, methal cranupe alkalinity, chlerides and on several occasions dissolved caxygen. Water sauples were usually analyzed in the laboratory tmless the time interval was too creat, taoen they were run in the field. Dissolved oxygen samples vere fixe] on the snot and determined later. RIVER DESCRIPLION: The Neches River Valley lies tetueen the Saoine River Basin te the east and the Trinity River Basir on the west, The river originetes in Van Zant. Coumby and a tow, in a generally southeastern direction approximately 416 mies tnreugy Lf counties and empties into the Gulf of Mexico by way of Sabine lake. The watershed ey the mouth «f the river 1s 10,129 souare miles. The averare amvel runoff, accoralve us the Texas Board of Water Engineers, is 6,540,900 sere fent, therety making the Nernes the lavgest river entirely within the state. The Red and Savine Hivere are beth larger but they are interstate rivers. The wost important tributary of the Neches River is vue Angesina River which was surveyed and reported under F3R4, Job B-10. Anvther important tributary is Pins Island Bayou at river mile 30.0. At about river mile 37 there is a salt-water barrier across the river which prevents tidal waters from backing further upstream. The berrier is constrscted of corrugeted type steel plates stood upright at a height to permit the Treshveyer coming downstream to flow over the top but is high enough to prevent the rising tidewaters to pollute the freshwater. The City of Peaumont takes water frow noove the barrier and it flows by means of canals to the elty treatire plant. IMPOURDMENTS A major impoundment on the Neches River is Ban "R" KReeervoir {river mile 113 7) which has a capacity of 94,200 acre feet at top of normal vo.l. ‘The surface area ft 13,700 acres. Its averare depth is only 6.8 fect which gives large areas for fieh production. The water is stored and relesec: aurine perises of deourht for irrica- tion purposes downstream.

Impoundments om the watershed include Lake Ioni near Slocum, a 106 surface acre club lake on Ioni Creck, and Lost Prairie Lake near Palestine. ‘This a 100 surface acre club lake, Eason Club Lake is an overflow lake in the Neches bottom weet of lufkin. It is only 10 surface acres in size, haif of which is marshland. Lyirs --- Page 3 --- southwest of Tyler is Big Eddie, ex LOO surface sore natural lake on the usin river.

Im the Sulf Coast Peairic arca the soils are dark colored, black to grnoy clays and some sand icaws whieh are acid. Nenive vegetation in the uplands include loblolly and shorvleaft pine and various hardyoods such as oak, gum and hickory. In the lowlands har@wocds are prevalent with wich cypress in the lower reaches of the river. Most of the iand is used for timber and pasture with some truck crops. The coastal ureas support rice and cotton ceons. There is considerable oil to be found along Pine Island Bayou and then there is the industrial area arcund Beaumont which depend upon the river for water. Tsolated to noderate growths of agnatic vepetabtion were Pound alore the shor--a and banks of the waters of this drainage. These include lack +illow (Sulix nisra), button brush (Cephalanthts), eypress (Taxodinn) saw, ress (Atsantee is MIL. <2), 257 ES Kies ee 4 cattails (fyrha sp.), various sedres (C3 ore Pee (Potumoreton), dea potave (Sagrittari« ALPse Sfaener tad v <P Swe a7 : pa) SARA Es OS WE CCR LE du Bp.), anekwied (Lewna sp.) , ard various algaes Evara Spe 2a filanecntous algae. FINDINGS: A total of 70 collections was made on the Neches Diainsge. These «oilertions yielded 66 species representing 17 families. In addition there were 69 weter anelyses made on these waters, WATER QUALITY: Routine water analyses were made at nearly every collection atation in order to determine the water quality (Table 2). In all, 69 analyses were rade on tue Neches Dreinage during this study. The turbidity of the river was considered ts Ge odersats to very turbid based on light penctration as follows: very twtid 0" - G" paneir-tasn, moderate 7" = 12", slight 13" - 24", clear 25" and deeper. Tats turttd cardition can > a be contributed to good plarkton tlooms, dark stains from runefi «a Ruspenaed solis due to runoff. In arean that were spring-fed tke water was clear. Water surface temperatures varied from a low of 6:°F. in April to a hige of 90° F. in September. As expected the aveas neay oprirys were ecoler im tho saumer vantt<. The range of pH varied widely, from below 6.0 (4% thes time sur indicator: only went to 6.0) to 9.4. However, the majority ranced from 6.4 to 7.2 and averaged epprovimate: 6.6. The extremely low pll's were found it, Black Creek and Litele Pine Lsbuwa bayou in which area there is oil production.

Below the barrier chlorides ran up to 3191 ppm. ‘The methal orange elkalinity varied about the same as the pH, ranging from 9 ppm up to 425 ppm with most of the water in the 40 to @ ppm range. Only 21 dissolved oxygen test were run and they ranged from 1.4 to 7.0 pp. Collecting Station oe 36 A total of 59 collecting stations made up of 35 seining and 2h ¢ill net stations was established. Most of the seining stations were visited twice curing the survey. Tathle 3 gives the locations of each station. “hese stations were lorated at road crossings on the upp - stretches of the river where collections were made by car. The lower stretches, veing more navigable oy boat, provided stations closer to. lher. oan) Species Present A total of 66 species representing 17 families wags collected in the weters of the Neches River. This yield was from 69 collections. ‘Table & lists each s phviz netically and gives the stations at which it vas collected and the numbe: each station. The specific names are fron Hubbs, A CHECKLIST Cr TEXAS F FISHES, dated February 1957. The following annotated checklist treats each separately. Besides the usugl sport species there are two species of fish in the Neches System that should receive special consideration. These sre the vt buffalo (Photo 9) and gizsard shad. The buffalo has 29 good commercial pot there seems te be a good supply of gizzard shad which would be a good forage a species such as the white bass. Annotated Checklist of Neches River Fishes: I.

POLLUTTOR 3 g One important source of pollution on the Reches River is the East Texas Falp and Paper Ccmpany near Bvadeale. This paperwill rclenses its effluent ES B BWALIPY --- Page 10 --- 10. area near Lake Bayou. The BOD is reduced very litvic before the efliuent realise lake Bayou. Water enalyses shew that dissolved oxygen rans as low as zero parts per million. After the water leaves Lake Bayou it enters the Neches River and dur- ing low water periods tidal sction backs water ap as far as the saitwiter bairy ter. The dark color und strong odor of thic effluent is a saurts of mony comoleaints to the Cane and Pish Commission. Although dead fish have aot been found 4 the Meshes River the color and oder of the water wake it undesiradle for rerteational use. o7k+ bayou is in such a condition that only gars are gote “to exist in the waters. Anothar source of pollution is on the Angelina River whch flows into Pon "F" Reservoir nnd discolors it, nis ie the efflaernt fyem tua c.uthiena Paper SILL which was reported in the Angelina River report. Some of the tributary streams emptying into Pine Island Bayou from the ol] ficids of Hardin County are very black or dark in color and have high chlorice contents there- by making them alee undesirable for reereational uses. ‘ A temporary source of pollution was st Big Eddie when the City of Ty!er was allow- ing their sewage to empty into the river at this point while repairs were teing made on their sewage treatment plant. This resulted in a very heavy plankton bloom und apparently did no damage to fish populations. This was only a temporsry condition and a check two months later indicated the water was normsai «gain. PROPOSED RESERVOIRS: The River and Harbor Act of 1945 provides for the construction of un earthen dam and appurtenant structure for flood control, hydroelectric power and conservation. The project is located on the Neches River ltée miles above its mouth and 15.9 miles above the confluence of the Angelina River. ‘This is to be known as Dam "A", As of June 1956 plans and specifications had not been initiated. This same act slso provides for a dam of the same tyne and purpose at river mils 160.4 ond 34.3 miles above the month of the Angelina River. This dam site ia approxi- mately 3 miles west of Rockland and aoout two miles above US 69 crossing. This is to be known as Rockland Reservoir, This reservoir would nave un area of 126,500 surface acres at flood control level. Fragress is at the same status es Dam "A", Tr efther of these reservoirs tecome a reality it would greatly increase the fishercios cf Bast Texas. CONCLUSTONS AND RECOMMERDATTONS : 1. It ean be concluded that most cf the waters of the Neches River ars of a quality to support a normal fish life. 2. The weters of the lower half of the Neches cun support a good commercial fisheries within the limits of the law. 3. The fish population present supports a fair spert fishery. 4. There is a large population of forage fish available. --- Page 11 --- ll. 5. Considering the above it is recommanded that additional investigations be wade in the area of Dam "B" to determine the feasibility of stocking the reservoir with white bass to further utilize the forage fish population ana ineresse the sport fishery. 6. Tt is further recommended thet the public waters of Jnsper and Tyler Courtics, which have recently becone regulatory, be studied te evaluate the present laws con- cerning cowmeretal fishing. _ Z \ Ate Prepared by: John N.
