REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSIONERS OF Con-
NECuCUT.--Tho report of the Fish Commissioners
of the State of Connecticut for 1872 has been
presented to the Legislature. and very
satisfactory exhibit appears TO be made Of
the work done in the way of supplying the rivers
and lakes Of the State with useful food fishes. The
extent to which the Commissioners have labored in
previous years in stocking the ponds with black
bass has rendered it less necessary to continue this
work on large SCALE as it is believed that from the
progeny Of the fish already introduced IT will be
quite possible for those interested to obtain supply
for other waters.
In regard to shad, the Commissioners take great
pnde in stating that the number in the Connecticut
has so much increased that complaint is no longer
beard in regard to the paucty of the fish, but that
the market is oyerstOcked and that fishermen do not
obtain remunerative price for them. The Matching
of the eggs at South Hadloy Falls, which had been
prosecuted for several years, in 1872 was carried on
TO such an extent that at least 9OOOOOOO oil young
fish were introduced into the wators. The greater
part of these were turned out into the Connecticut
a small percentage having been sent to the Mystic
River 10 the saugatuck, to Westport, and the prin-
cipal rivers in Rhode Island; and about 100000
were furnished to the United States Commissioner
for introduction into the waters of the West. OF
these last portion were even placed in the Platte
River at Denver City, Colorado.
From q careful estimate made by the Commission,
ers it appears that S9 730 prime shad were obtained
i'm lS72 from the Connecticut River and the Sound
These were obtained by means OF 81 hauling selnes
60 gill nets, and q pounds, having In all 244 proPe
tors. Ii was the universal testimony everywhere
that fish had increased in a wonderful degree, ana
numerous fishing stations which, formerly very val
liable, had been recently abandoned, were Ieeslao
hshed in 1872 to the great advantage OF the prOpre
The Commissioners also report satisfactory success
in the iutroducIou of salmon into the rivers OF the
State about 20 zoe sound eggs having been obtained
from the Matching establishment at BuckspoIt
Maine partly account Of the state SUBSCRIPTION
to that work. and partly presented by the United
! States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheues. Ihe
total loss Ia Matching amounted TO about % per cent?
tine remainder being placed III different streams OF
the State as the yOlk sac ks were absorbed.
The Commissioners congratulate the state ana
! their fellow Commissioners of Vermont, New-Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts upon the success OF the SUIT
which had been brought against the pToprletOrs OF
the Water-pOwer at South Hadley rails, 10 force
them 10 build suitable fsh-way over their dam
this especially in view OF the fact that when the
work is accomplished, there will be no impedlment
80 the movement of shad and salmon TO the upper
waters of the river and thus warrant the Commits
siOuers of Vermont and New Hampshire in taking
measures to introduce young fish into their streams.
A meeting of the Commissioners of the States inter
ostcd in this matter has been called at Boston, for
conference rs to the ishwsys at Holyoke and other
nnintS ahnNf.
