Describe major factors which affect

_~n e entrance and exit of fish from York Haven Pond (or Reservoir).

Dis.: ass the historical significance of the American shad fishery in the Susquehanna River and any state or local plans to revitalize fisheries of forcer importance. Where possible, relate all discussions of fis', migration into and out of York Haven Pond to tag-recapture studias performed by Ichthyological Associates at TMI.

Describe the covement of larval and juvenile fishes into York Haven Pond from tributary spawning areas.

2.

Provide a detailed bathytetric chart of the Susquehanna River within 10 miles of T'!I, and identify kno :n spawning and shoaling areas of fis'..es, by species.

Discuss the extent to which these spawning and slaaling areas are affected by river water levels and flow.

Describe or esticate the annual composition of the recreational fish catch by species, weight, and value taken from York Haven Pond. Discuss which species have been increasing or decreasing in the recreaticnal catch since 1965 and indicate whether similar trends are reflected in any previous satpling of fishes near the TMI site.

Esticate the number of angler-hours expended annually in York Haven Pond. Describe state and local fichery legislation and management programs which apply to recreational and co cercial fishing in York Haven Pond, and the Susquehanna River in general.
