4. Checks to evaluate any chnnges in the fish population
should be continued. These include rotenone sampling in selected
coves, and the complete census of ice fishermen now in its eleventh
year.
5. A full time technician or biologist will be needed if
the program outlined above is to be carried out. Summer personnel
will need to be employed to a~sist in the field program. In
nddition to the work at Lake opatcong, this person would be able
to undertake investigational herbicide projects, coordinate the
field research programs of chemical companies wishing to test new
products in New Jersey, and conduct extension activities on lakes
throughout the State. The latter is a service that is coming into
increasing demand in our state.
6. Fish and Game funds are inadequate to support the above
program. Since a great deal of the proposed extension work would
take place on private waters where F ish and Game monies cannot be
spent, it is recommended that a modest appropriation be made from
general funds on an annual basis. .
