This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 2nd edition, 1996, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 144: Auburn's internationally known fisheries began with Farm Pond One in the early 1930s. Leslie Wright's workers and mule teams built the dam for the 1.8-acre pond north of the swine production unit off Shug Jordan Parkway (old-bypass road) at the Bull Test Station. The pond was stocked with bullhead catfish, bluegill bream, shell crackers, and red-eye bass. When the pond was drained after one year, 293 pounds of fish and 2,225 pounds of tadpoles were collected. To reduce the tadpole population, the pond was restocked partly with large-mouthed bass. ... By 1996, Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures had 317 ponds, with thirty research projects ranging from worldwide tilapia to Alabama catfish. Photo source: Mrs. Homer S. Swingle. |
