J (‘2 throughout the world, particularly in those countries in which there is an acute shortage of protein foods. (Compton, l 53). Russia has established four fish—breeding stations on 1 I Kuibyshev Lake, ”11 five above Stalingrad. lish are reared at these stations for introduction into suitable waters, chiefly as eggs and fry. The fisn b in: used for these introductions e i experiments are said to include six varieties of salmon, two species of trout, and sturgeon. Israel's annual consumption of fish amounts to 32,033 tons. Of this amount A,000 tons is obtained from carp-breeding ponds. The carp—breeding ponds probably have reached the limit of th ir capacity because they compete wiih agriculture for land and water. However, the "W country's climate has prov d suitable ior ranid growth of carp, and it has been possible to obtain tvo-and-arhalf fish harvests a year. It is ,lannec To extend pond culture to rainbow trout, tenca, ane grey The Chinese have had extensive pond fish culture since 2,000 B.C., 0‘! but their methods have shown little change. The chiei Species cultivated are the common carp and oriental perch. The pres nt annual hungarien pond yield of carp is about 2,50: tons. The shallow ponds rang, from a few hundrass preceded the small bluegills into the s fning basin and Her. r.movwf as thyy entered. Th re was very little nixiny of small eni large iish. Possibly the lower mortal- ity of snal’ lish in these two bonds, as in: icated in Table 2, was due to removal of large bars In Pond 22 the fisg p.ssed into the s ining basin without Segre ation of size groups or species. More many small fish Her injured bv the crowdinr action of th large bass. The highest mortality small blue ii 8 occgrred in Pond 22.

Since primary emphasis on fishing in Hickigan is often directed to capture of 1M rga fi sh, fish pepulatio 3 containing only small or medium siz~i fis h sre less "t rac ive to fish ruen. Combinations of bass: bL c; ills, rrgar:l;ss of rate of stocking, usually result in an overpoyulation of bluegills. Th rciora, it is desirable to deteimixe th rate of stocking that will give good fishing for large fish in the shortest ti e aftcr s ocilr“ and maintain it for as long as possibm t has been establishefi 13y T1 ll and Tait (1952) that adult blrerills and fingerlina bass when stocc:d in combination gch fishinh in : shorter time than fingerling bluegills anfi finserling bass.

The weight of each size group is shown in Table 3. The large bass present at the time of draining were quite uniform in size. It was impossible to separate the or ginsl fish stocked from the fell 01¢ y: ar class. Advcntitous fish present censiste:z of 23 large suclcers (Gates emus; comgcrsoni) averaging 2.1 pounds. The bass Spawned successrfully each summer, as evidenced by three ze groups. However, in 1952 there was a survival of only 75 young—of- P° s the—year from 348 large parwnt bass. The bass stocked in 1949 spawned late in 1950. This year class produced the large base recovered in 1952. fl1es“ bas saveraged 1rss tlan one pound in their fourth summer.

As shown in T: eM s3 and 4, Pond 20 produced 136 pounds of edible- s.1zed blue: ills pM acr: thxring the period from September, 1949 to September, 1952.

I Ehe presence of snekers in Pond 29 may have infilueneed the ratio u— y D o. of edible ann small hluzgills. 1s is an ass uption that their presence played a part in this respecb, however, reports by Hubbs (1933), and Neibe (1935) indicated that the presence of golden shiner minnows and / other forage LiSh interfered with reproduction of species in a pOpulation q and that fish with similar habits might be eXpectcd to do the same. The a O ... removal of many large bluegills early in the experim n for food stnuies may have altered the usual trend toward overpopulation of this species.
