TITLE: Happles Lake Baseline Fish Community Study

PURPOSE: Develop baseline information about the fish community of Happles Lake.

The specific objectives of this initial field study were

• Develop a list of fish species present.
• Compute catch-per-effort (CPE) for all major fish species.
• Construct a population estimate for all major fish species.
• Construct length frequencies for all major fish species.
• Compute PSD values for all major fish species.
• Compute relative weight (Wr) for all major fish species.
• Construct age frequencies for all major fish species.
• Compute parameters for the Von Bertalanffy growth model for all major fish species.
