FS RR CTR VN CA GP RRC DP Tn. 32 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 24, 1990 Fish and Wildlife research receives a financial boost Angling tournament research and waterfowl banding are the subjects of two scientific research 'Projeets selected to receive sup- port from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (0.F.A.H.) and the Toronto Star. On February 24, the O.F.A H. Sport Fisheries Research Grant of $2,000 was awarded to Miss Alison Babin for her study of the behavior and stress levels of walleye, smallmouth and largemouth bass which are caught and released during angl- ing tournaments. Mr. Kevin Dufour was awarded the 0.F.A H. Wildlife Research Grant of $2,000 to continue the research he began last year studying several aspects of trapping bias in mallard ducks, which are bait- trapped for banding in the Lake St. Clair area. Both an- nouncements were made at the 62nd Annual Meeting and Wildlife Conference of the O.F.A.H. held in Hamilton. Financial support for the research was provided to the Federation by the Toronto Star, sponsor of the Great Salmon Hunt. Miss Babin, a student at Trent University in Peterborough, won with her friends. are used. Sharmila lost a leg to cancer when she was six years old. With the help of a prosthetic.leg, Sharmila is able to skip and swim Helping people with disabilities is just one way lottery funds Lottery funds are also used to provide grants in other areas such the competition for the O.F.A.H. Sport Fisheries Research Grant for her proposal to study whether fish released at a tournament weigh-in station return to the areas where they were originally caught, or whether they stay at the release site. The study will also assess the stress levels fish are subjected to under tourna- ment conditions. It is hoped that through Miss Babin's research, improved handling procedures will occur at tournaments in Ontario. Kevin Dufour, a student at the University of Western Ontario, won the competition for the O0.F.A H. Wildlife Research Grant for his research examining the possibility that banded ducks may not be representative of the populations in question. The research project, now in its se- cond year of funding, may show that present ideas about the rela- tion between harvest rates and survival are in need of review and modification. This is useful research since data provided from studies of banded birds are relied upon so heavily by water- fowl managers in determining waterfowl seasons and bag limits. ; h This group of students from Mrs. Prentice's Prince Albert class collected all the lunc garbage a wr of their Earth Day activities. The students will weigh the garbage, and next week all students are to bring garbage-free lunches and to see how much they can cut down on wraps, and cans etc. Pictured are(l-r) Robert Hughes, Christy Brain, lan Ross, Al- lan Fitze, Darryl Pargeter, Alex Bedell.
