Summary

Description

This report is about an investigation that was done to determine the quantity and species of submergent vegetation in the marsh area on the Canvasback Gun Club in Nevada. During the month of August, 1962, an aquatic habitat investigation was conducted on the Canvasback Gun Club by Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife personnel. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the quantity and species of submergent vegetation on the area, and to compare these findings with data collected during similar surveys in 1960 and 1961. Most of the marsh area of the Club remains in a mature stage of marsh evolution which offers little of value to waterfowl. Only a few of the smaller, relatively young ponds are producing waterfowl food in appreciable quantities. Most of the marsh remains virtually barren of any submergent plant growth of value to waterfowl.
