The experiment Of the introduction OF
shnd into IL rivers by the Fish Com
missioners, says the San Francisco Cali,
has resulted in success. The first young
shad from the Hudson, numbering
about fifteen thousand, were placed in
the Sacramento River Mt Tehamn, June
~, 1871. The next lot of thirty-iye
thousand were let loose mt the same
place July 2, 1873. Information has
been received by the Commissioners at
various times since of sixteen f%ull-prown
hsh having been caught ut Vallejo, and
ut different points on the Sacramento
River rs far north as Pitt River. II is
0 certain that some OF these fish
have found c%ongenial homes and proper
iood in the ocean, escaped all Of tloir
natural enemies, including the sen lions
who guard the entrance to the bay, and
TINT they have cast their spawn. Two
young shad were caught q few months
ngo in Pitt River, and q few days since
u young shad about four inches long
and which is still alive, got caught in n
submerged boat Mt Tehama. These
facts would Indicate that all the condi-
lions nro favorable for tho p%erpetuation
and increase Of these fish. As each
iul!-grown female Sind yields from fifty
to seventy thousand eggs, II may be
hoped TINT. after March 80, 1877--be-
tore which date il IL unlawful 10 fish for
them-fresh shAd from tho Sacramento
will DO found regularly for saIe in tho
markets Of San Francisco.
