THE FISH INTEREsTs.-At the meeting of
the Academy of Sciences at San Francisco
Monday evening, J. D. Redding, Fish Com
missioner, read a paper on the fish interests

trial and commercial standpoint, than a
| history of the work of fish propagation in
! the State, although it combined some OF
| the principal features of the labor of the
State Fish Commission. One OF the fruits
| of its labors is shown in the salmon catch
OF the Sacramento river, which has steadily
| increased from 5,09S, 600 pounds in 1875
until in 1882 it reached 9,605,0 pounds
The evils which initiate against its work
may hc clasSed: First, sea lions; second
| debris; third, universal disregard of the
| fish laws on the part OF fishermen; fourth
damming of streams Mr.. Redding advo,
Gated an increase of the State appropriation
from 5000 to $4,000 year.
