the Pocomoke River so gallons of yellow
perch and SO gallons in the Manokin
River at Princess Anne.
During the past ten years, the Mary
land Fish Commission has been very
active in carrying out the work designed
by the State. If it were not for the
artificial propagation of our food fishes
they would soon become extinct in the
streams of our State. An illustration
of the value of this work may be seen
each winter on the st. Martins River in
this county. Ten years ago yellow perch
were absolutely unknown to that river.
Fish Commissioner c. L. Vincent hav-
ing ascertained this fact. made up his
mind to demonstrate unquestionably the
value of artificial propagation. He
Matched out at the st. Martins Hatch
ing Station several million yellow perch
eggs and deposited the fry in that river
and the creeks emptying into the same.
Since that time Deputy Fish Commits
sioner Henry T. Bell has continued this
work yearly and the result is that the
st. Martins River is so well stocked
with yellow perch that the fishermen
are selling each year thousands of dol
lars worth one man alone having mar
keted this winter about $500 worth of
yellow perch.
