Vestal Bureau of Fish Conservation California Division of Fish and Game About eleven years ago goldfish and chubs were introduced into Crystal Lake, Los Angeles County, California. Reportedly, the gold- fish were introduced "for esthetic reasons," but the chubs were brought in as live bait for the large loch leven trout found in the lake. As a result, the fecund rough fish within six years had overpopulated the lake, causing a practical end of the trout fishery. The successful reclamation with rotenone of chub-infested Gull Lake in Mono County, in the fall of 1940, by the California Division of Fish and Game, prompted the Los Angeles County Department of Forester and Fire Warden to consider a similar treatment for Crystal Lake. The economy and effectiveness of this modern procedure for the improvement of fresh-water fisheries, where pest fish are a major cause of the decline in productivity and where damage to plant life and many food organisms is to be avoided, are advantages that in recent years have been appreciated elsewhere in the United States and Canada.2 Steps were taken, therefore, by the state and county agencies for a cooperative program of rough fish control in Crystal Lake in the fall of 1941. According to plan, the Division of Fish and Game assisted in organization, supervised the project and supplied the necessary chemicals and some of the equipment used. Assistance in organization and supply of much of the personnel and equipment was shared by the county department. It was the duty of the writer to survey the lake, organize and pre- pare a detailed plan of procedure, and supervise and coordinate the cooperative efforts in the project. For much help in this work I am indebted especially to Mr. D. A. Clanton, of the Bureau of Fish Con- servation, Division of Fish and Game, and Messrs. George R. Taylor and Kenneth Carter of the Los Angeles County Department of Forester and Fire "Warden. Hearty support for the project was given in equip- ment and person by the Western Sportsmen's Club of Los Angeles, and sincere thanks for this is due especially to Messrs. L. Jean Gauthier and Edward Thayer, President and Chairman of the Fresh Water sec- tion, respectively, of the Club. I am grateful also for the invaluable assistance and interest given by Mr. and Mrs. William E. Conner, of Crystal Lake Store. All told, 41 persons participated in the project; and for the interest and help of all, the writer expresses his sincere thanks. 1 Submitted for publication March, 1942. 2 Pioneer work in the use of rotenone as a method for controlling rough fish was done at the Institute for Fisheries Research, Michigan Department of Conservation.

(136) KK< I.AMATI0N OF CRYSTAL LAKK 137 Hydrographic and Biological Features of Crystal Lake Crystal Lake is situated at an elevation of 5,534 feet near the head of the North Fork of the San Gabriel River in the Angeles National Forest. The lake is a point of chief recreational interest in Crystal Lake Park, maintained by Los Angeles County, and is located about 22 miles north of Azusa, California. The surrounding terrain is rugged and mountainous. The predominant plant cover of the basin is chaparral, although the vicinity of Crystal Lake is characterized by moderate forest cover of Transition type. Fig. 39.

Crystal Lake is almost oval in shape. Over half of the shoreline is steep and of slide or talus character; but small sections of beach occur on the west and north sides. The lake has no outlet. A small inlet, which is intermittently diverted during season for use in the park, was flowing 104.1 gallons per minute when seen by the writer on October 7, 1941. On this date the surface area of the lake was cal- culated at 9.8 acres; 32 soundings indicated a maximum depth of 48 feet and an average depth of 34.1 feet; and the volume was computed at 334.2 acre-feet. For its size, Crystal Lake supports an abundance of aquatic plant lift", mostly submarginal immersed forms. Characteristic is a dense growth around the lake of eoontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) and 2—14337 138 CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME ponchveed (Potamogeton gramineus, J', graminifolkis, and P. longi- pediculatus) , averaging about 25 feet from shore.3 At times, the dense plant life lia.s hindered swimming, boating and fishing in the lake. A plankton Bample indicated an abundance of this basic food for the lake, particularly in water fleas (Daphnia) and copepods (Cyclops and Diaptomus). Various bottom and marginal foods were also abundant to common. It is little wonder then, with abundant food and shelter, that the rough fish grew fat and numerous, safe from both i rout and anglers. Until 1933, loch leven (Salmo trutta) were the only trout planted in the hike. Later, rainbow (Salmo gairdnerii) superseded the lochs and became the main basis of the sport fishery. Pig. 40.

Chemical Treatment Following detailed preparations and instruction of personnel, Crystal Lake was formally treated with cube (Lonchocarpus utilis) powder, containing 5 per cent rotenone, on November 5, 1941. The method used in treatment was essentially the same as for control of rough fish in Gull Lake,4 in which the lake was divided to facilitate uniform distribution of the chemical; the powder was mixed with water at supply stations on shore to resemble thick waffle batter and then trolled through the lake in wet burlap sacks behind two-man power 3 For species identifications of aquatic plants collected I am indebted to Mr. Charles Miller of the Bureau of Fish Conservation, California Division of Fish and Game. * Vestal, Elden H., Rough fish control in Gull Lake, Mono County, California California Fish and Game, Vol. 28, pp. 34-61, 1942. RECLAMATION OF CRYSTAL LAKE 139 boats; and main distribution in open water was supplemented by pump- ing of heavily treated water from power boats and local spreading of poison into plant beds and along sbore (see Pi^s. :>!)-41). Including 20 pounds of poison for local treatment the following day in plant beds and marginal areas, a total of 470 pounds of cube powder was used. Spreading of chemical required about three hours. Fish in distress appeared at the surface of the lake about 20 minutes after spreading of poison in the lake was begun. The fish were small chubs (up to two inches long) and some very small goldfish located in dense plant beds near the stations for mixing chemical. Prom that time on more of the small fish, then larger ones and trout (ranging from 12 to 29 inches) appeared at the surface and in the Fio. 41.

The number of blood samples taken by months, with percentages of infection, is shown in Table 2.

O'Roke (1930) stated that quail examined from the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys were not infected with Haemoproteus lophortyx, and suggested that a more extensive study of the great inland valleys might disclose the presence of the parasite in those local- ities. The present paper is the first report of its occurrence in the valley quail of the San Joaquin district. O'Roke (1928) reported two valley quail from Napa County infected with microfilaria. In our slides three birds were found to be carrying these larval nematodes in their blood. This report is the first of a series of collaborative studies of blood parasites in California game birds, and will be followed by reports upon other areas. The assistance of cooperators in different sections of PROTOZOAN BLOOD PARASITE IN QUAIL 153 the State will be greatly appreciated, and slides, together with direc- tions for the simple technique of securing blood smears, will be for- warded upon application.4 Fig. 47. Through the microscope infected red blood cells can be distinguished easily from healthy ones. The parasite transmitted by the louse fly may appear sausage-shaped surrounding the dark center or nucleus, or may fill the entire cell, thus killing it. Arrows point to infected blood cells. Summary Data have been presented upon a survey of blood smears from valley quail in the San Joaquin Experimental Range, from September 1937 to September 1940. Haemoproteus infection was found in 84.3 per cent of the 503 quail examined. Intensity of infection has been tabulated by the number of parasites present per 10,000 red blood cells. A greater percentage of infection was noted in birds under one year of age than in adults during all months of examination except in August and September, when the reverse was true.

EDITORIALS AND NOTES FISH AND GAME AND THE WAR! With t he outbreak of* tlie war December 7, 1941, the California State I >i vision of Fish and Game immediately took an active part in the protec- i ion of public property from destruction by enemy agents. The facilities of the Division were put at the disposal of Governor Olson. Fish and game wardens contacted local authorities and were available for any emergency, and through cooperation with the sheriff's office of Contra Costa County, the cruisers Perch and Rainbow maintained a 24-hour patrol guarding the Antioch and Carquinez bridges over the San Joaquin River and Carquinez Straits. This patrol was continued until March, 1942, when the work was taken over by the U. S. Coast Guard. As executive secretary, I issued orders that the entire personnel of the division cooperate with the Army, Navy and other governmental officials to the fullest extent, and on December 18, H. C. Jackson, fish and game patrol captain, was assigned to my office as defense coordinator within the Division, and between the Division and defense authorities. In meeting January 22, 1942, Nate F. Milnor, President of the Fish and Game Commission, appointed Commissioner Edwin L. Carty to serve as chairman of an Advisory Defense Committee composed of representa- tives of sportsmen's groups and organizations of the commercial fishing industry. At the present time this committee is endeavoring to maintain the commercial fishing fleet in operation, in spite of the large number of boats taken over by the Navy, and other handicaps such as closed areas. The Fish and Game Commission, while doing everything to aid in National defense, has gone on record as being against any relaxation in the enforcement of fish and game laws. The natural resources of this State are one of the people's most cherished possessions and they shall not be needlessly sacrificed. Likewise, hunting and fishing will not be prohibited in any areas, using "National defense1' as a guise. Areas will be dosed by this Division only as a means of conservation, and if such action must be taken for fire protection and other purposes, it must be done by the military and civil authorities concerned. The work of the Division has already been curtailed by a reduction in personnel through enlistments in the armed forces, and the inability to secure tires and other materials which are available only for defense use. However, production at the fish hatcheries and game farms is being maintained at the usual high level and will be kept up to standard as long as facilities will permit. — George P. Miller, Executive Secretary. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO IN CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME In the July, 1917, issue of California Fish and Game there is a discussion of the new laws enacted by the Legislature, many of which were of great importance. The opening of the trout season was (154) EDITORIALS AND NOTES i :>r, advanced from May 1 to April 1. However, this change proved unsatisfactory and the May opening was restored a few years later. After a bitter fight, commercial tronl fishing in Lake Tahoe was finally brought to an end in 1917. The fisheries tax bill was passed at this time and is still in effect. The tax money, amounting to fifty cents a ton on cannery fish, is used for patrol and investigational work. A bill regulating the harvesting of kelp was also passed. Sixteen game refuges, totaling 811,000 acres, were set aside as wildlife sanctuaries. Fur trapping was regulated, a license fee was set, and a summer closed season for fur-bearers was established. Sage hens were given complete protection. Many other bills, most of them favorable to wildlife con- servation, were also passed at this session. Dr. Harold Heath contributed an interesting article on devilfish and squid. The life-history, habits and commercial uses of these mol- lusks were described. Especially noteworthy is John N. Cobb's article entitled "Xeulerted Pacific Fishery Resources." This paper was presented at the meeting of the Pacific Fisheries Society in 1914, before World War I started. It was reprinted in 1917 as war conditions broughl about a need for greater fish production, and is worth reading again as we wage our second worldwide war. It is noteworthy that most of the neglected resources mentioned by Cobb have been exploited since If 17 and are now the bases of important fisheries. Others are still neglected but will have to be developed if our production of protein foods and animals fats is to be increased. — Richard 8. Crokcr, Editor, California Fish and Game. Fig. 48. Wall-eyed pollack, also known as Paget Sound pollack (Theragra chalco- gramma fucensis), 20 inches totnl length. Caupht in Monterey Bay with 9almon trolling gear, May 7, 1942. Photo by J. B. Phillips. WALL-EYED POLLACK CAUGHT IN MONTEREY BAY A wall-eyed pollack, Thcragra chalcogramma fua nsis was taken in Monterey Bay, California, on -May 7, 1942. There are very few records of the occurrence of this fish in California waters. Virgil Meloy, a commercial market fisherman, caugh.1 the S] imen, which was 20 inches in total Length, while trolling for salmon about one mile off Marina. Meloy reported eatehin<_r a similar fish during the previous year, but he did not save it for identification. 156 CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME The pollack is a member of the family Gadidae (the true cods). Two sub-species of pollacks have been described as occurring on the Pacific Coast. One, the Alaska pollack, Theragra c. chalcogramma, ranges the North Pacific, south to about Sitka, Alaska, while the other, the wall-eyed pollack or Puget Sound pollack, T. c. fucensis has been reported from Vancouver Island southward to Monterey, California. The only other member of the true cod family in California waters is the tomcod, Microgadits proximus. The latter fish and the pollar-k are the only fishes in California waters that have three separate dorsal fins, as well as two separate anal fins. However, the tomcod may be distinguished from the pollack by the following characters : The lower jaw is included in the tomcod, whereas it is slightly projecting in the pollack; the barbel on the underside of the jaw in the tomcod is promi- nent, while in the pollack it is very small. The only other fish in California waters with which the pollack might be confused is the hake, Merluccius productus. The hake has the lower jaw projecting, but it has no barbel, and there are only two separate dorsal fins and one anal fin. However, there is a deep notch in the second dorsal and in the anal, which may give the impression of there being three dorsal and two anal fins, at first glance. — J. B. Phil- lips, Bureau of Marine Fisheries, California Division of Fish and Game, June, 1942. TONGUE SOLE IN MONTEREY BAY Tongue sole, Symphurus atricaudus (Jordan and Gilbert), are uncommon in Monterey Bay but are quite common to the southward, particularly in San Diego Bay. According to "Monk" Loero, manager of the General Fisheries Corporation of Santa Cruz and Monterey, tongue sole are occasionally taken by drag boats working in Monterey Bay. However, this bay appears to be the northern limit of this species, while the range extends to the south into Mexican waters. Two specimens of the tongue sole, caught in a drag net, were brought to the Monterey fish markets for identification during April, 1942. This sole is the only member of the family of true soles, Soleidae, in California waters, and can be readily separated from our other flatfishes by the following characters: (1) Body blunt anteriorly, taper- ing to a point, posteriorly. The dorsal fin begins on the head and is continuous with the anal around the tail. The posterior part of the dorsal and anal fins are broadly edged with black. (2) The mouth is small and twisted. (3) The eyes are small and set close together. (4) No lateral line is present. The tongue sole rarely attains a length of six inches. — J". B.

New York, Viking Press, 1941. 598 pp., 40 pis., 2 figs. $5.00. A novelist and a biologist chartered a Monterey purse seine boat and spent several weeks in the Gulf of California collecting specimens and experiences. The results are recounted in this "leisurely journal of travel and research." The book is divided into two parts; the narrative and the section on the scientific results of the trip. The illustrations which appear between these two sections consist of photographs and drawings, both in color and in black and white. They are excellent. The narrative unfolds the day-to-day happenings of the happy-go- lucky expedition, and the reader can share more real fun than is to be found in most travel journals. The object of the trip was a collect ion of Gulf littoral invertebrate animals. The result was better than any- one anticipated. As the little vessel proceeds from one collecting sta- tion to the next, the reader can feel that he is aboard, such is the beauty of the writing. "We who have known the Gulf in all its moods can visit it again in memory, and those not lucky enough to have explored its waters can journey there in the pages of this book. Most enjoyable are the passages describing the balky outboard motor — a masterly description — and those recounting with real sym- pathy and affection the authors' meetings with the Gulf Indians. The text seldom confines itself to straight narrative — the many discussions in the galley lead up some remarkable alleys. The scientific appendix includes a noteworthy bibliography of the Panamic faunal province; this alone would make the book worthwhile. The animals collected, a remarkable number, are listed in a splendidly annotated phyletic catalogue. The expedition was primarily interested in the invertebrate fauna and fishes were taken but incidentally. There is a glossary and an index. For a combination of enjoyable reading and factual information, Sea of Cortez is hard to beat, A copy should be aboard every research vessel, whether it be bound for the Gulf or not. The philosophy of the authors, as well as the results of their collecting, should be an example to all who seek for knowledge in the sea. — Richard S. Croker, Editor, California Fish and Game. Under the Sea-Wind By Rachel L. Carson. New York, Simon and Schuster, 1941. 314 pp., illus. $3.00. Miss Carson writes as one who has an intimate knowledge and love of the sea. Her book is not only informative but good reading. She tells of the animals which live above ilie sea and along its edges and of those which inhabit its surface waters and depths. The year-around (157) 158 CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME life of the seashore is made real through telling the story of a pair of sanderl ings. Life in the open sea is described with a mackerel as the central figure. The third section of the book follows the life story of an eel, from a highland stream to the deepest part of the ocean. The scene of all three stories is laid along the eastern coast of North America and the offshore waters of the Atlantic. Those of us who study the life of the sea know well that it is one continual struggle for existence, but never has the "survival of the fittest" been described in such gruesome detail. The author goes to considerable lengths to drag in every possible predator, until in this reviewer's opinion the book is marred by a repetition of pursuit and swallowing. Virtually the only animal not eaten is the killer whale which ate the 500-pound tuna, which ate the mackerel, which ate the herring, which ate the shrimp, etc. There is a glossary, describing many animals and scientific terms in simple language. Many fine drawings by Howard Freeh illustrate the text. This is an excellent book for the nature lover and amateur natural- ist, containing a wealth of information presented in an inspiring style. — Richard 8. Crokcr, Editor, California Fish and Game. Musing's of an Angler By 0. Warren Smith. New York, A. S. Barnes and Company, 1942. 187 pp., illus. $2.00. Musings of an Angler is a collection of essays as originally pub- lished in Outdoors Magazine, written by the late angling editor of that publication. Mr. Smith was a clergyman and a sportsman, one who wrote of the lure of angling as few writers have been able. Judging from his essays, the author was one of that rare breed — the true sports- man in all respects. The musings recount the author's experiences along his favorite Wisconsin trout stream, not the stories of hooking and landing big fish, not what flies and techniques he used, but all the little things that go into making angling the best of all sports and recreations. The chance conversations with strangers, glimpses into the lives of birds, deer and other wild creatures, the flowers and trees, all are described in prose more beautiful than poetry. The author was well read, in fact reading and angling were his two hobbies, and his references to books on fishing constitute an informal but excellent bibliography. Similarly, his occasional half- hidden hints on fishing methods contain more of value than can be found in many a "how to do it" book. Mr. Smith's philosophy can be recommended to all fishermen. For example he writes, "The man who fishes for fish, catches nothing but fish ; but the man who fishes for joy, baiting his hook with understand- ing, is certain to have a full creel e'en though it appears to others to be empty. "There is no emptiness comparable to emptiness of heart and mind. Do not mistake me, I appreciate as fully as any angler the importance and beauty of perfect tackle; but, when rightly understood, it is neither the tackle nor the tangible catch that counts. REVIEWS 159 "* * * some of'my best days have been when T have failed as an angler, and some of my worst when I have succeeded as a fisherman." Tliis book can not lie recommended too heartily. — Richard S. Croli r. Editor, California Fish and Game. Representative North American Fresh-water Fishes Bv John T. Nichols, illustrated by Andrew K. Janson. New Fork, Macmillan Company, 1942. 128 pp., 60 pis. $1.25. This little booklet consists of sixty drawings of fresh -water fishes accompanied hy explanatory text. For the most part the illustrations are excellent, especially those reproduced in color. The trout draw ings are the poorest; those of the bluegill, large-mouthed bass, golden shiner and shad, for example, are splendid. For some reason the drawing of the goldfish is one of the worst whereas the similar carp is portrayed beautifully. Judging from the drawings, the artist apparently had never seen some of the western and northern fishes in the flesh. <»ne page of text accompanies each full-page illustration. Much interesting material of miscellaneous nature is presented. Although the facts seem accurate enough they were apparently assembled in haste. The book is no great contribution to the literature.
