Hambric Assistant Project Leader TITLE Inventory of Species Present in Lake Whitney, Texas. OBJECTIVES To determine the species present and their relative abundance as well as to determine the ecological factors influencing their distribution. HISTORY OF LAKE Whitney Dam is located on the Brazos River in Hill and Bosque Counties, Texas, approximately 38 river miles upstream from Waco, McLennan County, Texas and 19 miles southwest of Hillsboro, Hill County, Texas. The Whitney Dam and Reservoir was constructed and is Operated by the Corps of Army Engineers as a multiple purpose project for the control of floods, and de- velopment of hydroelectric power and for recreational purposes and other uses. Construction of the dam was started May 12, 1947. Constructure of the clos- ure section was begun in May 1950 and completed in December 1950. During that per- iod about 590 surface acres of water was impounded which extended upstream for a distance of ten miles. The gates of the dam were closed on December 10, 1951, which permitted the power pool to commence filling. The lake has never been closed to fishing. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Lake Whitney is a clear water lake, impounding 15,800 surface acres at nor- mal pool level (elevation 520 feet above sea level.) The reservoir is approximate- ly 37 miles long and has a shore line of 190 miles extending into the steeply sloping tributary valleys entering the reservoir. The lake varies in width from about 0.5 miles at the dam, to a maximum of two miles then narrows to a width of several hundred feet up river. The average width is one mile. The shore line is characterized by gently sloping valleys in some areas and limestone bluffs else- where. Soils of the Lake Whitney area are of the Grand Prairie type, primarily of the Denton-San Saba group. The group is characterized by deep soils of brown to black in color underlaid with limestone, chalk or marl. The lake bottom, prior to flooding, was about one-half cultivated, one- fourth grass, and one-fourth timbered land. Nnety percent of the timber was remov- ed before flooding of the area began. The uncleared timber consisted primarily of cedar on the side slopes, or bottom hardwoods along the main streams and in the --- Page 2 --- tributary draws. The total contributing drainage area of the Brazos River water- shed is 35,720 square miles of which 17,650 sguare miles is controlled by Whitney Dam. The land of the watershed is used for grazing and farming. The maximum depth of the lake is 95 feet. About one-third of the lake area will be between 20 and 45 feet deep. For water depth areas, see Table 1. The ex- pected fluctuation between the average annual minimum felev. 517.2) and maximum (526.2) pools will be nine ft., which should prove no serious detriment to fish production. CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS One water analysis was made May 19, 1954. The pH ranged from 7.4 at a depth of 50 feet to 8.2 at the surface. The dissolved oxygen content varied from 1.7 ppm just above the lake bottom 68 feet deep to 10.2 ppm at the surface, Total alkalinity varied from 114 ppm at a depth of 68 feet to 104 ppm at the surface. AQUATIC VEGETATION Aquatic vegetation is not generally abundant and poses no problem in the lake. Some species of Utricularia (bladderwort) and Polygonum (smartweed) have been found in fair sized patches. In the early part of June 1954 large concentrations @& Lemna (duckweed) were found in protected areas of small tributary creeks. COLLECTING METHODS Random samples of the fish population were taken by gill nets and minnow seines. Some net sets were made with gill nets 8 ft. deep by 100 ft. long with square mesh sizes of one inch to 3 inches. Other sets were made with gill nets 8 feet deep and 125 feet long which contained a series of 25 ft. sections in which the square mesh sizes were graduated in one-half inch intervals from one to three inches. Seining collections were made with 30 x 6 ft. straight seines and 30 x 6 ft. bag seines, each with ¢ inch mesh. Data taken from fish caught in gill nets included the length, weight, sex, stomach content, and degree of parasitism if any from each fish. Scales from the game fish were collected for future age and growth studies. Table 2 records the checklist of fishes col ected from Lake Whitney. RESULTS OF SHINING COLLECTIONS Two seining collections were made on the lake. One collection made June 26, 1953 yielded 594 specimens, representing 13 species. The other collection taken May 17, 1954 netted 619 fish in which 18 species were represented. Gizzard shad and plains red shiners were the most abundant species represented with large- mouth bass fry accounting for the third largest group. Tabulations of the sein- ing collections are found in Tabe 3. RESULTS OF NETTENG COLLECTIONS Gill net sets equal to 135 nets 100 feet long were made on the lake from June 1953 until May 1954, yielding 2,927 fish. Game fish composed 30% of the catch and white crappie were the most abundant game fish taken. Kentucky spotted bass and largemouth bass were about equally represented in the catch. Gizzard shad were the most abundant species caught, followed by carp and smallmouth buffa- lo respectively. A comparison of the data representing game fish and rough fish speies is recorded in Table 4. --- Page 3 --- The length, weight and coefficient of condition of all fish collected by gill nets are given in Table 5. The results of monthly catches of each species showing the number caught and the percent of the total monthly catch they rep- resent is shown in Table 6. Corresponding information is listed in Table T, @X- cept the catch is represented by weight and the percent column shows the percent of the total weight of that month's catch for each species. The number of gill nets set each month varied from month to month. Table 8 shows the frequency of capture of each species as well as the number caught per 100 ft. net set andthe seasonal variation in catches. DISCUSSION The fact that Lake Whitney is a new impoundment and has only recently reached its normal capacity of water storage indicates that the reservoir has not yet reached its peak of production. The lake has been subjected to rather heavy and regular fishing pressure its entire life. More than one million anglers fish- ed the lake from June 1953 through May 1954. The rise in water level of the bas- in has been somewhat steady during the past year. There are many acres of grass and weed covered flats under water which should add to the productivity of the lake. The entire food chain is excellent and the "K" factors of the fish studied indicate rapid growth. A good bass spawn occured in the spring of 1953 and a very large spawn was found in the spring of 1954. There is a large population of rough fish in the lake but their presence has shown no noticeable harm to the game species to date. It is contemplated that rough fish removal by state contract fishermen will begin soon. The opportunity to follow a new lake through its successive stages of bio- logical development prompted the work of thisproject. Data resulting from the past year's work indicates that additional information can be obtained by prolong- ing the study. Ineluded in the tables of this report are records of a typical seine collec- tion, gill net collection and impoundment survey form. SUMMARY Lake Whitney is a new lake located between Bosque and Hill Counties near Whitney, Texas. It is a fairly large, clear water lake about 37 miles long with a 190 mile shoreline. The lake was random sampled with approximately 130 gill net sets which cov- ered a period of one year. Netting yielded 2,927 fish which weighed 1,513 pounds. Rough fish constituted 70% by number and 73% by weight of all fish taken. Shad were the most abundant rough fish and accounted for 28% of the total catch. White crappie were the most abundant game fish representing 7% of all specimens taken, Two seining collections yielded 1,213 fish representing 20 specimens. Shad accounted for 37% and the plains red shiner represented 28% £ all fish collected. Largemouth bass fry numbered 10% of all fish caught. Data resulting from the project indicates that additional information can be obtained by continuing the study. --- Page 4 --- Table 1.
