NATURAL RESOURCES Lake Scugog Fish Are Shocked! A new and innovative approach to fish sampling was used recently by Natural Resources fisheries staff working on Lake Scugog. Fish in Lake Scugog were collected with the aid of an electrofishing electrofishing boat on loan from Fisheries Fisheries Branch in Toronto. The boat functions by putting an electric current through the water. Fish in the immediate area are stunned or "shocked" "shocked" by the electric current and cannot swim away. The fish are collected with dip nets and are identified, counted, measured and released alive. This work was conducted on Lake Scugog in order to determine determine the value of various types of shoreline habitat, and to locate key areas for important important fish species, especially ' during their first year of life. Fishing was conducted over five nights, during which time nearly 5,000 fish were examin ed. Shallow, weedy bays were found to support the most fish, including young yellow pickerel, pickerel, bass, muskellunge, yellow perch and minnows. These areas are therefore of prime importance as rearing habitat for sport fish species as well as for forage fish. One of the advantages of the electrofishing boat over traditional traditional netting gear, is its ability ability to catch small fish. Fisheries Fisheries staff were delighted to catch over 100 young yellow pickerel, all less than seven inches long, and to characterize characterize the areas that support them. These young fish, which are usually very difficult to capture, were found primarily primarily in sheltered areas with soft muck bottom, and often with heavy weed growth. These results again emphasize the importance of such areas to the ecology of the lake. The "shocker boat" was also used to assist fisheries staff in determining fish feed- GOVERNMENT COSTS 00 NOT ALLOW APATHY Election Day November 8th, 1982 October 30th, 1982 Re-Elect DIANE HAMRE Regional Councillor Ward 3 For Information or Rides Call 983-5505 The 9th Bowmanville Beaver Colony not only gained four new members, but also welcomed a new leader last Saturday morning, October 23, in an investiture at St. Stephen's School.

Adult yellow pickerel collected by "shocking" "shocking" were measured, weighed and aged, and stomach contents contents were collected by means of a specially constructed stomach stomach pumping device. Over 80 stomach samples were collected from yellow pickerel. While these samples have yet to be analyzed, preliminary preliminary results indicate that young yellow perch (hatched in the spring of 1982) are the most commonly eaten prey species. These young perch averaged about 6.1 c.m. (2.5") in September. The stomach pump, which was modelled after one developed developed at Nogies Creek for use on muskellunge, allowed fisheries personnel to examine pickerel feeding patterns without sacrificing the fish to do so. It is evident that the one- week project was an unqualified unqualified success in providing new and important information on Lake Scugog. The Lindsay District was fortunate to have access to the electrofishing boat, which is the only one of its kind available for fisheries work throughout Ontario. vL_ CO-OP Feedlot Starter. $175/tonne delivered.* Sure you can start cattle on hay and clean water.
