A* ■ ■ ■ — ; By FULTON LOVELL Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission THE BIG KILL TWO factors combine to make the rough fish eradication program on Lakes Worth and Blackshear a significant landmark in the history of fish management in Georgia. The first of these is the fact that the chemical treatment of an entire water shed—never before attempted by anyone —is entirely possible. Secondly, the pro ject that gizzard shad can be chemically wiped out with little damage to game fish populations. A total of 900,000 pounds of shad were elimi nated from both lakes, the Flint river and Mucka lee and Kinchafonee creeks. Rampant loss of game fish, an item feared by sportsmen, did not occur. Post treatment surveys revealed that only three percent of the total kill was game fish. There has been a great change in Lakes Worth and Blackshear. They look strangely placid without mas sive schools of shad around to muss up the water. Their surface is no longer without fishermen and their fishermen are no longer without fish on their stringers. Fulton Ix>veU Both Lake Blackshear and Lake Worth are on the way back. The reason for it is the elimination of gizzard shad during the Game and Fish Commission’s eradication program conducted last fall. The program was suggested after many population studies proved without doubt that excessive numbers of gizzard shad was responsible for decline in sport fishing success. There have been other major rough fish eradication programs that exceeded the acreage of the Blackshear- Worth project. None of these, however, were as ambitious as tackling an entire watershed, some 15,000 surface acres of water. The Texas Game and Fish Department’s treatment of Possum Kingdom lake amounted to a total of 16,000 acres and Florida’s Lake Apopka, all 30,000 acres of it, were “big” undertakings. But neither job encom passed a watershed. Since the Georgia work dealt with the swift Flint River and Mucka lee and Kinchafoonee creeks, many problems became apparent as the project progressed. The major concern was evenly distributing the chemical in the allotted six hours time. To do this, both reservoirs were divided into working zones and a crew assigned to each zone. Each crew was responsible for distributing the rotenone in its zone during the six hour period. A total of 600 gallons of rotenone was distributed in Lake Worth and the Flint below the Crisp County Power Dam. It took 3,600 gallons to properly saturate Lake Blackshear and its back waters. Since gizzard shad have proven more susceptible to rotenone than game species, a lighter concentration was used. A solution containing only .12 parts per million is all that was needed to accomplish the job. However, where the concentration became heavy, due to current, some game fish and catfish, carp and gar were eliminated. Rotenone was chosen for the job to keep from severely disturbing the game fish populations. It has proven successful in research projects of similar nature in almost all areas of the country. An extract from roots, the deadly chemical has been used by natives of Asia and South America to kill fish for many years. It was not until 1936, though, that scientists discovered the chemical and it became available for public use. After receiving cbmplaints from sportsmen in the Albany and Cordele areas about the decline in fishing, fishery biologists con ducted population surveys on both Lake Worth and Lake Black shear. The results revealed an overpopulation of large gizzard shad, which created a nunhealthy situation for game species. With the cooperation of the local people, the Game and Fish Com mission embarked upon a program to eradicate the shad and hoped, ultimately, to restore fishing in the area to its proper place of promi nence. The program probably would never have got its feet off the ground had it not been for the eagerness of local citizens, whose fiery energy helped obtain permission from landowners and assistance with the job itself. Plans are underway to introduce two new specie* of fish in both reservoirs. Preliminary investigative research indicate that both will support white bass, a relatively new fish in the Stat* and threadfin shad, a forage fish. Threadfins differ from gizzard shad in that they seldom grow over six inches long and serve a* food for carniverous fish for a lifetime. Gizzard shad, on th* other hand, may attain a size as large as four or five pounds and offer no return for their keeping in sport fishing. In addition to white bass, fishery biologists are confident that other game fish populations will soon achieve the proper size and growth and that fishing in Lake Worth and Biecks hoar will return to normal, Dr. Lewis Hardeman Oden Sr., 79, a well known Blackshear bu sinessman and political figure for many years, died Monday af ternoon at his residence on Park street after a long illness. Funeral services were held at 11:00 o’clock Wednesday morn ing at the First Methodist Church with burial in the Blackshear cemetery. The Rev. W. B. Ches hire officiated.

Central avenue until his health began to fail a few years ago. During the late 1920’5, Dr. Oden was one of the first pre sidents of the Blackshear Board of Trade and he was active in its affairs for many years. He was a member of the First Methodist Church in Blackshear. He served as state representa tive from Pierce county in 1947- 48 and always took an active in terest in the political affairs of his state and county. Survivors include two sons, Col. L. H. Oden Jr. of the U. S. Air Force, stationed at Turner AF Base, Albany, and Sol F. Oden of Blackshear; a sister, Mrs. Charles Howell of Pulaski, Tenn.; two brothers, Marion Oden of Brentwood, Tenn., and Robert L. Oden of Dade City, Fla.; two grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
