Description
A report by Eugene W. Surber on the May 1963 Lake Apopka Fish Kill. Surber describes his visit to Lake Apopka, Florida, and examines samples of dead and dying fish recovered from the lake. It is estimated that roughly 3 millions pounds of fish were killed in May 1963. Surber interviews several locals regarding aerial spraying of pesticide and its correlation to the Apopka fish kills. He concludes that pesticide the most likely cause of the fish kills, due to the extremely fast and intermittent nature of the kills.

Description
A letter of correspondence from Harold L. Moody, fishery biologist, to O. E. Frye, Jr., Assistant Director of the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission. The letter discusses a fish kill on Lake Apopka in May 1962. Moody reports that eyewitnesses observed an agricultural spray plane disperse pesticides over the lake shortly before the fish kill began. Fish kills are usually associated with low levels of dissolved oxygen in the water. Moody notes that his samples showed the oxygen levels to be low, but rather than being evenly dispersed through the lake, the fish kill was concentrated at the north shore adjacent to the farming operations. Moody also notes the presence of dead reptiles and amphibians not normally found during an oxygen-related kill. The fish kill was estimated at 50,000 pounds, at that time the largest fish kill of 1962.

Two fish kills occurred within three days, killing an estimated three million pounds of gizzard and threadfin shad. Water samples were sent to the Florida State Board of Health for testing. The kills are believed to be a result of a combination of various pollutions, including pesticide from aerial spraying, fertilizer run-off, and waste discharge from sewage plants and citrus processing.

TALLAHASSEE NEWS RELEASE
June, 1962
More than 3 million pounds of gizzard and threadfin shad are dead in Lake Apopka today according to Bob Peavy and Harold Moody, Fishery Biologists for the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. The massive fish kill has involved very few game fishes so far. However, the mortality is still progressing and it is feared that dead game fishes will increase as the situation continues,
Commission biologists began their investigation on Thursday May 16th when the first massed fish kill was observed. They noted a second kill of very large proportions on Sunday May 19th. Water samples were collected and tests made to diagnose the trouble. Other samples were sent to the laboratory of the State Board of Health in Winter Haven. Personnel of that agency are cooperating with the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission in the investigation.
The situation was caused by a change in the water conditions. It is believed that change has been gradually brought about as the interrelated result of the materials which man has been introducing into the lake over a period of years, combined with the low water level at which Lake Apopka has been maintained.
Introduced materials include fertilizers from groves and vegetable farms, effluents from sewage disposal and citrus processing plants, and insecticides sprayed from the air.
Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission officials emphasize that the condition is serious, and that a large kill of gamefishes is possible.
They recommend that steps be taken to insure water levels in Lake Apopka. Discharge of wastes should be curtailed, and an introduction of insecticides discontinued.

Description
A 1-page memorandum from W. R. Peavy, Jr., a fishery biologist with the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission, regarding the May 1962 Lake Apopka fish kill. The memorandum revises the earlier estimate of fish killed, found in Harold L. Moody's memorandum toO. E. Frye, Jr., Assistant Director of the commission, from 50,000 lbs to 120,000 pounds. Frye states his belief that DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and parathion sprayed from agricultural aircraft were responsible for the kill. Samples of the dead fish were shipped to the University of North Carolina for analysis by Dr. Charles Weiss, Professor of Sanitary Science. The results were inconclusive regarding pesticides, as the cause of the kill due to decay suffered in transit. However, some samples did show evidence of exposure to pesticide.

A letter of correspondence from O. E. Frye, Jr., Assistant Director of the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission, to the Honorable John A. Sutton. The letter discusses possible legal action against those responsible for the 1962 Lake Apopka fish kill. Frye considers a successful legal action to be unlikely, and states his intention to explore possible regulations that could be applied to those responsible for the fish kill. The letter also congratulates Sutton on his success in the Democratic Primary Election, representing Florida's district 11, newly created that year, in the 1962 elections for the U.S. House of Representatives. He was later defeated by Republican Edward Gurney.

A letter of correspondence between Harold L. Moody and James "Jim" P. Clugston. In the letter, Moody discusses the changes in Lake Apopka's water quality during the 1940s and 1950s. He provides a brief timeline of the creation of the muck farms on Apopka's north shore, and notes that Winter Garden has expanded their sewage treatment in the last half-decade. He also notes that the bass fishing on Lake Apopka has declined during the 1950s, considering the 1950-1951 bass season the last phenomenal year.

Description
A water quality survey for Lake Apopka. Samples shown were taken by Harold L. Moody, a fishery biologist working for the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission. The samples were drawn from several locations across the lake, over a range of one month. Included in the table is data from the U.S. Ecological Survey of Lake Apopka from 1924. The lake was considered mainly pristine in 1924 and the muck farms considered responsible for much of the pollution in the lake were not constructed until 1941. Bass fishing in Lake Apopka was considered world-class until the 1950s. This table shows an massive increase in sulfate levels in the lake since 1924, ranging from an increase of 4 to 10 times.

Description
A letter of correspondence between Harold L. Moody and James "Jim" P. Clugston, both fishery biologists working for the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission (merged into the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in 1999). The letter discusses the identification of a plant specimen found near Lake Apopka by Harold L. Moody and identified by Erdman West as Taro, Colocasia esculenta. Taro is native to Africa and considered an invasive species in Florida. Taro was introduced to the Americas as a food crop for slaves. This letter may serve as evidence of the introduction of this plant to Central Florida by 1967.

Dear Harold:
Your directions were good and I found the flowering plants of Elephant Ear without any trouble. However, keying it out was a little different story. I could not take it past the arum family with the keys I have available. Therefore, I sent a speciman[sic] to Erdman West at Gainesville and he identified it as Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott.. It is considered a cultivated escape and is not found in Small or Gret.
Since (if I remember correctly) you keyed it to Orontium, I would appreciate the speciman[sic] you have for me so I can be sure we are talking about the same plant. Orontium aquaticum should be common in the area although I have never collected it at Lake Apopka. Either we have two different plants or you have gone astray using Small -- a real easy thing to do.
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Jim
