Introduction
The activities of the Applied Fisheries Laboratory for
the 1952-1953 fiscal year were summarized in uwFL-34 '?) |
The
programs and study areas described in that report have been
continued in 1953-1954, with varying degrees of emphasis
dependent upon the needs of the moment and the time and personnel available for the particular problem.
The urgency for

staff.
Other sections of the program had to be postponed in

radiation effects--a program of experiments needed to assist
in interpreting data in the applied fields.
