New Method
Kills Only
Rough Fish

Chemical treatment Of a lake
which killed off hundreds of
pounds of unwanted species but
left game fish virtually un-
harmed has just been an
nounced by the Virginia Com
mission of Game and Inland
Fisheries.
The treatment followe e d
three years of experimentation
with the new technique.
The 150-acre lake was first
drawn down to 80 acres and
TOO pounds of copper sulphate
applied. Shortly after this ap-
plication, nearly 1000 pounds
of golden sinners (mill roach)
club suckers and bullheads
floated to the surface. ack
Sheridan, biologist in charge,
said three bass, six pickerel and
a few panfish were the only
game fish casualties.
The idea originated with
Warden Nelson Phelps of Motto
way County who noted that
periodic cooper sulphate treat
ment of Camp Pickett Reservoir
killed only rough fish. Later
experiments by biologist S
showed that the chemical was
many times as lethal to rough
fish as to game species.
Sheridan said the biological,
reasons behind the curious re-
action are not yet understood
The technique works only IL
soft water, however, limiting it,
usefulness to lakes and ponds
in Eastern Virginia:
Lake waters treated with the
proper concentrations are not
harmful to humans or domestic
animals.
