Charles M. Breder Jr. Field Journals: Florida, 1960-1961

Abstract

This is the third of eight field journals by Dr. Charles M. Breder Jr. written during his fieldwork in Florida from 1958 to 1974. The journal spans the period of November 1960 through November 1961 and details Breder’s “patrols” (experimental observations) attempting to establish a statistical measure of small “black fish” fry. Also described is another long term experiment using electronic technology to detect if special audio frequencies were able to attract or repel fishes. Additionally, the content includes descriptions of Breder’s day to day activities on his property in Florida such as the creation of a guest house, installing electricity, and planting various flora and fauna.
