Barrus Pond I.mm.mmm.mmsmemmtim- ...immsmiim-, . Jack Bayliss of Ayden is a biologist with the State Wildlife f Commission and above he is seen trying out a rig he has develop ed for ridding game fishwaters Of undesirable types of fish. A portable generator in the boat supplies electricity to four elec trodes that drag along the bottom. The amount of electricity | generated does not kill fish but stuns them for a few seconds, 1 causing them to come to the top of the water, where undesirable 1 types can be eliminated and a fairly accurate census of desirable fish cad be taken. Bayliss above was trying out his rig in a fish pond of A. K. Barrus that was flooded last fall and infected with carp and gizzard shad, both of which are destructive to game fish because they suck up every fish egg they can find. Several sweeps around Barrus’ pond last Thursday eliminated eight huge carp — averaging about 10 pounds each and a dozen or so shad and one lonesome catfish. The generator also sends water snakes hunting for high ground. In the other picture a Barrus employee is holding one of the carp that was captured.
