Show I Heavy fish loss at reservoir Investigations have confirmed confirm-ed a heavy loss of fish at Brigham City Reservoir. The kill resulted from suffocation during the long winter period, when the lake was ice covered and the oxygen dropped below levels necessary to sustain fish life. Recent tests show that the loss was substantial with only an occasional live fish showing up in the gill nets. More than fifteen hundred' rainbow of two pounds or more were counted along the shores of the lake when the ice cover went out. The lake will be restocked with fingerling rainbow and should again produce good creel returns of sizeable fish by late season this year. Highway accidents in the US took a record number of lives in 1963. Some 42,700 persons per-sons died on the nation's highway high-way last year, and more than 3,460,000 were injured. |
