Lake fisheries need lamprey control and research
James W. Moffett
1953, The Fisherman (21) 10-11
Since 1921, when the first sea lamprey was recorded from Lake Erie, concern about this parasite in the Great Lakes above Niagara Falls, where previously it had never occurred, grew successively. At first, the concern was shared only in scientific circles, but as the parasite continued its persistent and...
Technique for the application of a streamer-type fish tag
Leonard S. Joeris
1953, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (82) 42-47
Principal features of the technique are: attachment of the plastic tag by means of a nylon-thread loop prepared in advance of field work; use of a curved surgical needle with cutting edge and a split eye for application of the tag. The procedures for splitting the needle's eye and for...

Fluctuations in the fisheries of State of Michigan waters of Green Bay
Ralph Hile, George F. Lunger, Howard J. Buettner
1953, Fishery Bulletin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (54) 1-34
Green Bay, traditionally a major center of production, has assumed in recent years a position of overwhelming dominance in the commercial fisheries of the State of Michigan waters of Lake Michigan. Within the 4-year period 1945-1948 the commercial take in State of Michigan waters of Green Bay increased from 3,317,000...
The effect of ether anesthesia on fin-clipping rate
Paul H. Eschmeyer
1953, Progressive Fish-Culturist (15) 80-82
As part of an experimental program to learn the effects of stocking lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in Lake Superior, 141, 392 fingerlings were marked at the Charlevoix (Michigan) Station of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in October 1952. The adipose fin was removed from all fish, the right pelvic...
War on lampreys
James W. Moffett
1953, Philadelphia Enquirer, 23 August 1953 16-17
Vampire-like sea lampreys look somewhat like short sections of garden hose, swim like eels, and live solely on the blood of fishes. Their voracious appetites have been especially harmful to fish in the Great Lakes, and it is there that methods of underwater electrocution are being applied in their...
The use of soils and paleosols for interpreting geomorphic and climatic history of arid regions
John Miller, Luna Bergere Leopold
1953, Research Council of Israel Special Publication 2
The study of modern surface soils, and ancient weathering zones, which occur either buried or as surface relicts, has contributed materially to understanding the complex events of the glacial and post-glacial period both in glaciated areas and in regions not influenced by glaciation. Most work of this kind in the...

Ground-water conditions in artesian aquifers in Brown County, Wisconsin
William James Drescher
1953, Water Supply Paper 1190
The principal water-bearing rocks underlying Brown County, Wis., are thick sandstone units of Cambrian and Ordovician age. Other aquifers include limestone and dolomite of Ordovician age, dolomite of Silurian age, and sands and gravel of Pleistocene and Recent age. Underlying the water-bearing formations are crystalline rocks of pre-Cambrian age which...
