THORSON SEATTLE, WA JULY 1973 NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS National Marine Fisheries Service, Circulars The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distribution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quan- tity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for optimum use of the resources. NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, develop- ment and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyses, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS CIRC series continues a series that has been in existence since 1941. The Circulars are technical publications of general interest intended to aid conservation and management. Publica- tions that review in considerable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research appear in this series. Technical papers originating in economics studies and from management investigations appear in the Circular series. NOAA Technical Reports NMFS CIRC are available free in limited numbers to governmental agencies, both Federal and State. They are also available in exchange for other scientific and technical publications in the ma- rine sciences.

ABSTRACT Hydrographic and primary-productivity data are presented for Tampa Bay, Fla., and the adjacent Gulf of Mexico for 1963. Observations include tide stage, water temperature, salinity, total and inor- ganic phosphate-phosphorus, total soluble nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, pH, light transmission, water color, cloud cover, cloud type, visibility, wind velocity, wind direction, and sea state. Values for chloro- phyll, ultraviolet absorption, and primary produc- tion also are given. These data were collected dur- ing field operations in estuarine studies of the east- ern Gulf of Mexico. Fishery Industrial Research Vol. 3, No. 2. Proximate composition of Lake Michigan alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) . By Donald R. Travis. July 1966, pp. 1-4, 4 figs., 3 tables. ABSTRACT The concentration of nitrogen, oil, ash, and moisture in alewives caught in Lake Michigan was determined on 6 bimonthly samples. The proximate composition and physical measurements are reported for the whole fish. Vol. 3, No. 2. Accumulation of organic acids during cold storage of shucked soft clams, Mya arenaria (L.), in relation to quality. By Baruch Rosen. July 1966, pp. 5-11, 7 figs. ABSTRACT During the cold storage of soft clams in plug-top metal cans, the content of glycogen decreased; that of glucose at first increased and then stabilized ; that of lactic acid increased continuously; and that of acetic, propionic, and pyruvic acids increased at di- minishing rates. The bacterial count increased at an exponential rate. Except in the cases of extreme freshness and extreme spoilage, organoleptic quality was related neither to the chemical changes nor to the bacterial count. Vol. 3, No. 2. Value of menhaden fish meal as a protein supplement to cottonseed meal-corn diets fed to rats. By Robert R. Kifer, Edgar P. Young, and Kam C. Leong. July 1966, pp. 13-15, 3 tables. ABSTRACT Menhaden fish meal was evaluated as a protein supplement to cottonseed meal-corn diets by means of a rat-feeding study. Rats were randomly allotted to 9 treatment groups and fed diets containing cot- tonseed meal-corn with 0-, 2-, or 4-percent levels of fish-meal protein, at 16-, 15-, or 14-percent levels of total protein. A significant improvement in rates of gain and utilization of feed resulted from sup- plementation by the menhaden fish meal. These dif- ferences in growth response and utilization of feed were not significantly related to the 16-, 15-, or 14- percent dietary levels of protein. Vol. 3, No. 2. Value of menhaden fish meal as a protein supplement to meat-and-bone meal- corn diets fed to rats. By Robert R. Kifer, Edgar P. Young, and Kam C. Leong. July 1966, pp. 17-24, 9 figs., 6 tables. ABSTRACT To evaluate menhaden fish meal as a protein sup- plement to meat-and-bone meal-corn diets, we allot- ted rats randomly to 9 treatment groups and fed them diets containing meat-and-bone meal-corn, with 0, 2, and 4 percent fish meal protein, at 16-, 15-, and 14-percent levels of total protein. Rates of gain and utilization of feed were significantly improved by adding fish meal. The rates of gain and utilization of feed decreased, however, as the dietary levels of protein were lowered, whether fish meal was used as a supplement or not. Vol. 3, No. 2. Value of menhaden fish meal as a protein supplement in soybean meal-corn diets fed to rats. By Robert R. Kifer, Edgar P. Young, and Kam C. Leong. July 1966, pp. 25-28, 8 tab'es. ABSTRACT 2 consecutive rat-feeding studies were conducted so that menhaden fish meal could be evaluated as a protein supplement in soybean meal-corn diets. Animals weighing 50 ± 5 grams were randomly allotted to 5 treatment groups in Experiment I and to 9 treatment groups in Experiment II and fed diets containing soybean meal-corn, with and with- out fish meal, at various levels of total protein (16 and 14 percent in Experiment I and 16, 15, and 14 percent in Experiment II). In both experiments, response to fish-meal sup- plementation varied somewhat, as indicated by rates of gain and utilization of feed. It was indicated, however, that fish-meal supplementations in general did not improve the amino acid balance of the soy- bean meal-corn diets. Vol. 3, No. 2. Proximate composition of Gulf of Mexico industrial fish. By Mary H. Thompson. July 1966, pp. 29-67, 5 figs., 7 tables, 17 app figs., 21 app tables, 2 illus. ABSTRACT Variations in physical measurements and proxi- mate composition of 17 Gulf of Mexico industrial fish over several years are delineated on a monthly basis. Scattered data for several other species are also presented. Analysis of variation in proximate composition and the influence of (1) geographic lo- cation of catch, (2) yearly variation, (3) reproduc- tive cycle, (4) sex, (5) food, (6) size, (7) activity, and (8) species are discussed. The fishery is de- scribed, and data are given on fluctuations in bottom temperature and types of bottom encountered. Changes in moisture and oil content are shown, and an equation for estimating the oil content of a lot, composed of mixed species, from its known moisture content is presented. The equation (Y = 65.3 — 0.8X) can be used to predict the oil content with a statistically estimated error of ±0.6 percent oil. A series of actual samples showed the average devi- ation to be —0.1 percent. Vol. 3, No. 3. Proximate composition of the Pa- cific Coast Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) . By Robert N. Farragut and Mary H. Thomp- son December 1966, pp. 1-4, 4 figs., 3 tables. ABSTRACT The proximate composition of Pacific Coast Dun- geness crab is given. Data from 4 samples each of frozen body meat, claw meat, and offal of the Dun- . geness crab are reported, as is the composition of 2 types of cooked packs from the same lots. Changes in proximate composition resulting from processing are noted. Vol. 3, No. 3. Microbial analyses of frozen raw breaded shrimp. By Bobby J. Carroll, Travis D. Love, Benjamin Q. Ward, and Melvin E. Waters. December 1966, pp. 5-11, 2 tables. ABSTRACT 164 commercially packed samples of frozen raw breaded shrimp from 14 processing plants were tested for total plate counts, coliforms, Escherichia coli, fecal streptococci, and coagulase-positive sta- phylococci. The aim of the study was to supply background data on which realistic future bacterio- logical standards can be based. Vol. 3, No. 3. Recent technological studies of Dungeness crab processing. Part 4 — Prelim- inary report on salt uptake and heat penetra- tion in whole-cooked crab. By Harold Barnett and Richard W. Nelson. December 1966, pp. 13-16, 3 figs., 1 table. ABSTRACT A study undertaken to show the effect on whole Dungeness crab of varying the concentration of brine in the cook water indicated that salt is ab- sorbed at a faster rate in leg meat than in body meat and that cooking crab in brine causes a slight weight loss. An evaluation of the rate of penetration of heat in whole crab during brine cooking showed that whole crabs may sometimes be undercooked at the end of 23 minutes, which is the time normally used in commercial cooking. Vol. 3, No. 3. Commercial fisheries of the Co- lumbia River and adjacent ocean waters. By A. T. Pruter. December 1966, pp. 17-68, 42 figs., 22 tables. ABSTRACT Fisheries in the Columbia River and the adjacent ocean waters constitute a large and valuable in- dustry with important economic and recreational benefits to people of the Pacific Northwest. Rapidly developing agricultural and manufacturing indus- tries in the Columbia River Basin, however, are placing increasing demands upon the fresh-water environment of resident and anadromous species. The advent of the nuclear age raises the possibility that man may adversely affect the ocean environ- ment also. This report examines the commercial fisheries in the river and ocean, stressing their importance in the overall development plans for the Columbia Riv- er Basin. The fisheries are classified into 3 groups: those for species resident in the Columbia, those for anadromous species, and those for marine species. The fisheries then are described on the basis of in- dividual fish species within each of these groups. The descriptions include information on areas of capture, references to types of harvesting gear, and historical reviews of landings. Fishery Leaflet 581.

By Paul R. Nichols. February 1966, iii + 10 pp., 14 tables. ABSTRACT Forty-five juvenile American shad, Alosa sapidis- sima (Wilson), collections, from 10 major shad pro- ducing rivers along the Atlantic coast of North America, were examined to see if differences in meristic counts suggested evidence of discrete river populations. Four meristic characters — pectoral, dorsal, and anal fin rays and scutes — were used. The difference in the counts between locations and between years within rivers was small compared to that between rivers. The differences in counts be- tween rivers indicated that discrete populations of juvenile shad occurred in rivers. 526. Synopsis on the biology of the jack mack- erel (Trachurus symmetricus) By John S. MacGregor. April 1966, iii + 16 pp., 6 figs., 2 tables. ABSTRACT This synopsis brings together all extant knowl- edge of the jack mackerel. This knowledge covers nomenclature, taxonomy, morphology, distribution, ecology and life history, population, exploitation, and protection and management. 527. Age and size composition of the menhaden catch along the Atlantic coast of the United States, 1962 with a brief review of the com- mercial fishery. By William R. Nicholson and Joseph R. Higham, Jr. February 1966, iv-f- 24 pp., 6 figs., 8 tables, 15 app. tables. ABSTRACT The 1962 purse seine catch of Atlantic menhaden, Brevoortia tyrannus, was 600,000 tons in the sum- mer fishery and 29,000 tons in the North Carolina fall fishery. The mean catch per purse seine set, based on an estimated number of 26,176 sets, was 24 tons. The 1958 year class (age 4) dominated the fishery in the Middle and North Atlantic Areas for the fourth consecutive year and provided 5 per- cent of the catch in the Chesapeake Bay Area and 36 percent of the catch in the North Carolina fall fishery. On the basis of its contribution to the fish- ery in the Chesapeake Bay and Middle Atlantic Areas, the incoming year class (1961) appeared to be less than average in abundance. Except for age-0 fish, the mean lengths and weights in the South At- lantic Area in 1962 were less than the means for the previous 7-year period. The means for age-4 fish were less than the 7-year means in the Middle and North Atlantic Areas, but slightly greater in the Chesapeake Bay Area. With few exceptions, the mean lengths and weights of other age groups in the Chesapeake Bay, Middle Atlantic, and North Atlantic Areas were greater than the 7-year means. 528.

ABSTRACT The annotated bibliography is preceded by a brief account of the Federal research program in fisheries and limnology in the Great Lakes in 1957-64. The bibliography covers 314 papers by staff members of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Mich., and 35 by asso- ciated scientists with whom the Laboratory had contractual or other cooperative arrangements; in- cluded also are patents issued to Laboratory person- nel. A roster of Laboratory scientists as of Decem- ber 31, 1964, is appended. The effectiveness of a shocker is often reduced by environmental factors, but in most situa' little can be done to compensate for this. The effi of water resistivity, variations in fish size or species, temperature, and fish mortality factors are discussed in relation to the success of electrofishing operations. 530. Seasonal and area] distribution of zoo- plankton in coastal waters of the Culf of Maine, 1964. By Kenneth Sherman. May 1966, 11 i)i)., 10 figs., 4 tables. ABSTRACT A description is given of the composition and sea- sonal variations of zooplankton in coastal waters of the Gulf of Maine during 1964, and comparisons are made between 1963 and 1964. Twelve zooplank- ton groups (major taxa) were represented in the samples. Five occurred as holoplanktonic forms and seven were meroplanktonic. Copepods were the dom- inant zooplankters during all seasons. Zooplankton volumes for both years followed similar areal trends. Mean annual volumes were highest in the western area (Cape Ann, Mass., to Cape Elizabeth, Maine) ; moderate in the central area (Cape Elizabeth to Mt. Desert Island, Maine) ; and low in the eastern sector (Mt. Desert Island to Machias Bay, Maine). Zoo- plankton volumes were generally lower in 1964 than in 1963. Seasonal and annual variations in abun- dance of zooplankters are discussed in relation to hy- drography. Local hydrography appears to influence the abundance and distribution of coastal zooplank- ters more directly than does the cyclonic-eddv system of the Gulf proper. 529. The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Type IV electrofishing shocker — Its characteristics and operation. By Benjamin G. Patten and Charles C. Gillaspie. April 1966, iii + 15 pp., 10 figs. ABSTRACT A fish shocker which is effective, dependable, light weight, and economical to purchase and operate is described. The output energy of this shocker is 450 volts direct current at 150 milliamperes, pulsed into square waves at frequencies controllable from 20 to 100 per second with a fixed duration of 6 millisec- onds. This output energy produces a good galvanotaxis reaction in fish in the field. Our experimentation and information from the literature indicates the output energy of the described shocker to be of a favorable range. Methods of operation of electric shockers are given. The recommended sizes of the electrodes are about 40 cm. square for the anode and 2.3 m. square for the cathode. The electrodes should be operated close together, especially in resistive waters. In suitable waters a wading technique is used, but a floating electrofishing operation is necessary if waters are deep or swift. 531. Length-weight relation of the summer flounder Paralickthys dentatus (Linnaeus). By Fred E. Lux and L. R. Porter, Jr. June 1966, iii + 5 pp., 1 fig., 3 tables, 1 app. table. ABSTRACT Length-weight equations of the form W = c Ll> in which W is weight, L is length, and c and b are constants are given for summer flounder for each calendar quarter. Weight for a given length varied seasonally. Males were slightly heavier than fe- males of the same length. 532. Growth and survival of sockeye salmon in- troduced into Ruth Lake after removal of resident fish populations. By William R. Meehan. July 1966, iii 4- 18 pp.. 12 figs.. 11 tables. ABSTRACT Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in throe lakes on Afognak Island, Alaska, were studied. Ruth Lake was treated with rotenone to remove resident fish. Midarm Lake, which had no salmon, and Little Kitoi Lake, which has a small run of sockeye, were used as controls to compare survival and growth of introduced fry and natural fry with survival and growth of introduced fry in Ruth Lake. Other fact- ors that might influence sockeye production, such as plankton and bottom fauna, were also considered. In general, growth and survival of fry and bi- ological productivity were greater in the treated lake. Growth and survival decreased as fry den- sities increased. 533. Annual fish passage report — Rock Island Dam Columbia River, Washington, 1965. By Paul D. Zimmer and John H. Broughton. Oc- tober 1966, iii + 24 pp., 3 figs., 21 tables. ABSTRACT Fish were again counted through the fishways at Rock Island Dam, thus providing counts at this location of the 33d consecutive year. Chinook and sockeye counts were down, and coho and steelhead counts were up from 1964. The counts of chinook, coho, and steelhead were larger, and the count of sockeye smaller than their respective averages for 1933-64. The count of salmon and steelhead was ex- ceeded by the count of other species. Four and one-half percent of the salmon and steel- head passing through the counting gates had in- juries. Daily maximum and minimum water tempera- tures and daily average rate of stream flow were recorded. 534. Distribution and abundance of sardine and anchovy larvae in the California current re- gion off California and Baja California, 1951- 64: A summary. By Elbert H. Ahlstrom. August 1966, iii + 71 pn., 6 figs., 66 tables. ABSTRACT Data summarized in this report document the nine-fold increase in the anchovy population (based on numbers of larvae) between 1951 and 1964, as well as the marked decline in the distribution and abundance of sardine larvae. Data for the years 1958-64 are treated in more detail than those for earlier years. Information was obtained on coop- erative hydrographic-biological cruises of the Cal- ifornia Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investiga- tions. 535. Red-tide research summarized to 1964 in- cluding an annotated bibliography. By George A. Rounsefell and Walter R. Nelson. Decem- ber 1966, iii + 85 pp., 8 figs., 4 tables, 1 app table. ABSTRACT This paper summarizes from published and un- published data and reports the status of research on the Florida red tide up to 1964. It contains 292 references, mostly annotated, on red tide and closely related subjects. The relation of oceanographic con- ditions to red-tide blooms, the seasonal and coast- wise distribution of the Florida red tide, and prog- ress in various aspects of research are discussed. 536. Fur seal investigations, Pribilof Islands, Alaska, 1965. By Alton Y. Roppel, Ancel M. Johnson, Raymond E. Anas, and Douglas G. Chapman, v + 45 pp., 14 figs., 21 taWes, 23 app tables. ABSTRACT The age classification of 40,367 male fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) killed on the Pribilof Islands in 1965 was: age 2, 4 percent; age 3, 56 percent; age 4, 36 percent; and age 5, 4 percent. The ages of 901 male seals were not determined. The peak of the kill occurred 27-31 July. Predicted kills of 3- and 4-year-old males on St. Paul Island were 33,000 and 16,000; actual kills to 9 August were 19,009 and 12,046. All 2-year-old males available 22-26 July on St. Paul Island were killed to deter- mine if abundance on land at age 2 is related to return of the year class at age 3. To test the com- mercial value of their skins, 854 males larger and older in appearance than those normally taken were killed. Harem and idle bulls counted on the Prib- ilof Islands were 10,470 and 6,729. Of 10,432 fe- males killed, St. Paul Island contributed 7,530, and St. George Island, 2,902. Selective killing for young females on St. Paul Island 23-27 August produced 88 percent in ages 2-5; nonselective killing on St. George Island 16-27 August produced 64 percent in ages 2-5. Sixty-five 3-year-old females examined were nulliparous; 1 of 51 4-year-old females was primiparous and recently post partum. Recoveries of marked seals included 4,947 with tags or checkmarks applied in the year of birth, 238 selected and tagged as yearlings in previous years, and 36 seals tagged by the U.S.S.R. Ten thousand pups were single- tagged and checkmarked, and 20,087 were check- marked onlv; 922 seals were double-tagged as year- lings. Pup mortality on land was 46,308. On the basis of tag recoveries from males and counts of dead pups, about 560,000 pups were born on the Pribilof Islands in 1961 and 500,000 in 1962. On the basis of tag recoveries from females, 344,107 pups were born in 1960, 527,482 in 1961, and 337,012 in 1962. Marked-to-unmarked ratios yielded an esti- mate of 347,000 pups born on the Pribilof Islands in 1965. From tags recovered in 1965 from seals tagged as yearlings in previous years, we estimated that there were 78,000 yearling males in 1961 and 85,000 in 1962. The average weight of untagged and unmarked seal pups exceeded that of tagged and marked seal pups by 1.14 kg. (males) and 1.04 kg. (females). The predicted kill of male seals on St. Paul Island in 1966 includes 3,000 of ages 2 and 5, 26,000 of age 3, and 14,000 of age 4. Fe- male seals will not be purposely killed in 1966. 537.

September 1966, iii + 12 p\)„ 1 fig., 13 tables. ABSTRACT The escapement of pink salmon (Oncorhynchua gorbuacha) to Sashin Creek, southeastern Alaska, in 1963 was 16,757 fish, and fresh-water survival calculated from potential egg deposition and num- ber of outmigrant fry was 20 percent. The spawn- ing ground was divided into three areas — upper, middle, and lower — for the study of density of spawners and survival of progeny. The density of spawners was highest in the middle area. Survival during spawning was low in each area; survival between the end of spawning and the beginning of fry emergence was variable among the three areas; and survival during fry emergence was high in each area. From egg deposition to fry emergence, sur- vival was estimated to be 31 percent in the upper area, 16 percent in the middle area, and 15 percent in the lower area. Although the upper area was highly productive of pink salmon fry, it has had intensive spawning only in years when the density of spawners was high. When the density was low, spawners tended to concentrate in the lower area. The validity of the supposition that only highly productive spawn- ing beds are used when escapements are small is questioned. The observations at Sashin Creek indi- cate that relatively large escapements help ensure complete use of productive spawning beds. 539. Tagging summary of American shad, Alosa sapidissima (Wi'son) and striped bass, Roccus saxatilis (Walbaum), Bureau of Com- mercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory, Beaufort, N.C., 1950-65. By Paul R. Nichols and Randall P. Cheek. July 1966, 8 pp., 1 fig., 6 tables. ABSTRACT Number and type of tags applied on American shad, Alosa sapidissima (Wilson), and striped bass, Roccus saxatilis (Walbaum), in 1950-65, are sum- marized in tables. A detailed description is given of each type of tag and how it was affixed to the fish. The report also gives the purpose of each tagging study and the status of reports on the findings. 540. Biological oceanography of the eastern tronical Pacific: Summary of existing infor- mation. By Maurice Blackburn. November 1966, iii + 18 pp., 6 figs., 2 tables. ABSTRACT Investigations of the biological oceanography of the eastern tropical Pacific are reviewed. Published papers, papers in press, and completed manuscripts, are briefly summarized. On most of the 29 biologi- cal-oceanographic expeditions made since 1952, sim- ilar properties were measured by similar methods. Numbers of available comparable measurements are: standing crop of surface chlorophyll a, 1,153; surface primary productivity, 603; standing crop of small zooplankton in the upper 300 m., 875; standing crops of chlorophyll a and micronekton in the upper 100 m., about 100 each; other types of measurements, small numbers. The measurements of surface chlorophyll a, sur- face productivity, and zooplankton are analyzed by 14 areas which are distinguished on the basis of the physical structure of the upper 200 m. and by half- yearly periods irrespective of year. The analysis by areas shows that all three measurements are highest in upwelling areas (coastal and equatorial) and areas with thin mixed layers, lowest in areas with thick mixed layers (in the subtropical anticyclonic current gyrals), and intermediate elsewhere. The analysis by periods is partly inconclusive because of the uneven distribution of observations through the year. The most interesting result is the unex- pected lack of statistically significant differences be- tween property means for the 2 half-years in some of the areas which are believed (on physical-ocean- ographic grounds) to be seasonally eutrophic. The paper also summarizes findings reported else- where on changes in biological properties with depth and time of day and on successive davs. Past studies on statistical relationships between differ- ent properties measured at the same times and places and on the ecology of special groups of or- ganisms (especially chaetognaths, considered as pos- sible "indicators" of water masses or property-dis- tributions) are also summarized briefly. Numerous deficiencies of knowledge are evident; increased re- search could contribute fundamentally to the much neglected study of biological oceanography in the tropical oceans of the world. 541. Distribution and occurrence of Gymnndin- iwm breve, on the west coast of Florida, 1964- 65. By Alexander Dragovich and John A. Kelly, Jr. December 1966, iii - 15pp.,7figs., 4 tables. ABSTRACT The distribution and monthly occurrence of G\nn- nodinium breve, the Florida rod-tide organism, were determined over a period of 13 months (in 1964-65) in the coastal waters of west Florida. Counts of G. breve varied from 0 to 53,800 cells per liter of water; no fish kills were observed. The organism was present at all stations from 9.3 km. (5 miles) to 37.1 km. (20 miles) offshore. It was not present in samples from Tampa Bay, and it was found only twice in samples from Charlotte Harbor. The high- est occurrence of G. breve was in samples taken 27.8 km. (15 miles) offshore. Vertical distribution of the species was greatest at the surface and at 5 m. and lowest at 20 m. The largest concentrations of G. breve occurred in September during a period of reduced salinity and temperature. Because these two factors are important to the ecology of the or- ganism, their relation to the presence or absence of G. breve is discussed. G. breve were found with- in the temperature range 13.8° to 30.6° C. It was absent or rare at both the low and high temper- atures; cell densities greater than 1,000 per liter were observed from 26.0° to 27.9° C. The organism occurred at salinities ranging from 33.68 to 37.07 p.p.t. The highest concentration of cells and inci- dence was noted within the salinity range 35.00 to 36.90 p.p.t. 542. Some effects of DDT on the ecology of salmon streams in southeastern Alaska. By- Roger J. Reed. November 1966, iii + 15 pp., 7 figs., 9 tables. ABSTRACT The effects on stream-dwelling fish and insects of an aerial application of DDT (0.28 kg. (kilogram) per hectare or one-fourth pound per acre) to control blackheaded budworm were studied in four streams in southeastern Alaska. Prespray and postspray sampling was done to determine the food eaten by rainbow and cutthroat trout, the coefficient of condition of trout, the abun- dance of insects on stones in the stream, the numbers of drifting insects, and the concentrations of DDT in the water, fish, clams, and plankton. The effects of the DDT were an immediate marked increase in the number of aquatic insects drifting in the stream the day of spraying and the annihila- tion of aquatic insects within 3 days . No fish were observed to be harmed, although the concentrations of DDT and DDE (biological derivative of DDT) in their bodies increased. The concentrations of DDT also increased in stream waters, plankton, and clams. The one known long-term effect of the DDT on trout was a decline in their condition factor, ap- parently due to the reduction in their food supply. The stream insects slowly began to reappear a few weeks after the spraying but did not approach normal numbers until the following summer.
