The interests of the large salmon fisheries
of the Puget Sound region are safeguarded by
hatchery on Baker lake, on the Skagit river
A significant feature of artificial propagation
on the Pacific seaboard Is that in the Columbia
basin the Matching of the accimatized shad has
begun On small scale, and IN the Sacramento
basin the cultivation of the accimatized striped
bass has commenced under conditions which in
dicate that more eggs of this species may be
obtained in California than in any of the states
to which the fish is native
The hatcheries in the interior regions con-
stitute the most numerous class, and their
output reaches the largest number of people
Their operations are addressed chiefly to the
so-called game" fishes, which, while caught
mostly by anglers, nevertheless constitute an
important element of the food supply At these
stations large numbers of fish are reared to the
leased; for this purpose more or less extensive
pond areas are required.
The fish-cultural work of the federal govern
ment has now attained a magnitude that can.
not readily be comprehended, and Is increas-
ing at an exceedingly rapid rate. Especially
marked has been the increase in the hatchery
product during the past ten years, owing in
stations, and in part to greater efficiency Of
methods and appliances The work during the
fiscal year 1909 reached larger proportions than
ever before over three billion fish being pro-
duced and planted.
While the bureau does not lay undue stress
on mere numbers and considers the vitality
of the fish and the conditions under which they
are planted as of paramount Importance, the
foregoing figures are certainly very suggestive
and as further statement of the magnitude of
the fsh-cultural work, it may be of interest

ter cod fishery of New England was revolu.
tionized. In a single season shortly after the
use of such nets began 3 few Cape Ann
(Gloucester) fishermen took by this means over
100000 pounds of large-sized fish, and as much
as $4,000 has sometimes been saved annually
in the single item of bait.
By the dissemination Of information regard.
ing new fishing grounds important fisheries
have been inaugurated. Thus when the abun.
dance of halibut off the coast of Iceland was
made known by the bureau, a fishery was be-
gun which yielded from $4,000 to 100000 an
nually to the New England fishermen.
Owing to the appalling mortality among the
crews of the New England fishing vesznls,
caused in large part by the laundering OF YES
sells at sea, the bureau many years ago under
took the introduction into the offshore fisheries
of type of craft which would combine large
carrying capacity and great sped with en-
HANGED safety. By correspondence, discussion
in the daily press, personal interviews, ex.
hibtion of models and finally by the actual con-
struction of fulsized schooner (the Gram
pusl with the requisite qualities the bureau
was enabled to inaugurate momentous change
in the architecture of fishing vessels; SO that
for long time the New England schooners
have been constructed on the new lines, with
consequent minimizing of disasters and de-
cided increase in efficiency.
In other fisheries and regions the bureau
has likewise advocated improved types of yes
sells and boats especially adapted to local con.
ditions, and has published plans and specihca-
lions embodying the results of studies of the
fishing fotilla of the world.
The results of the bureaus efforts in this
line In saving life and property, in increasing
the usefulness OF the vessels, and in improving
the quality of the catch as landed cannot be
estimated, but the beneficial effects may be
partly appreciated when 1t is stated that during
the ten years ending in 1888, when the old
types of vessels were in use, there were lost
by laundering from the port of Gloucester
alone, So vessels, valued at more than $40O, 600,
with their crews of 895 men, while during the
ten years ending in 1907, the losses from this
cause aggregated only fourth as many yes.

to record that the aggregate output OF the
hatcheries from 1872 to 1909 was about 20 bill
lion, of which over Is billion represents the
work of the past six years.
In making his original plans for the sys-
tematic investigation of the waters Of the Uni
ted States and the biological and physical
problems they present, Commissioner Baird In
sisted that to study only the food-hshes would
be of little Importance, and that useful conclu-
sions must needs rest upon broad foundation
of Investigations purely scientific in character.
The life history of species of economic value
should be understood from beginning to end,
but no less requisite is it to know the histories
of the animals and plants upon which they feed
or upon which their fod is nourished; the his
tory of their enemies and friends and the
friends and foes of their enemies and friends.
as we'll as the currents, temperatures, and other
physical phenomena of the waters in relation
to migration, reproduction and growth
In pursuance of this policy the bureau has
secured the services of many prominent men OF
science, and much OF the progress In the arti-
fetal propagation of fishes, in the investigation
of fishery problems, and In the extension Of
knowledge of our aquatic resources has been
due men eminent biologists who have been
associated with the work temporarily. Their
services have been the services OF specialists
for particular problems, and through them the
bureau has not only been able to give to the
public the practical results of applied science
but has contributed to pure science valuable
knowledge of all forms of aquatic life.
The Importance to the fishing interests Oh
the work of the bureau in connection with the
economic fisheries Is widely appreciated and
freely acknowledged. The statistical inquiries
of the bureau afford the only adequate basis
for determining the condition and trend of the
fisheries and the results Of legislation, protec
ton, and cultivation. Among the numerous
special matters in which the bureau has bene
flied the fisheries the following may be men,

national fishery service by the passage of a
joint resolution creating the office OF commits
sioner of fish and fisheries
The early years of the bureau OF fisheries
were devoted to an investigation of the con-
dition of the fisheries of the Atlantic coast,
Great Lakes, and other sections; to studies or
the interior and coastal waters and their In
habitants. and to exploration of the off-shore
fishing banks. The cultivation OF useful hsnes
was soon taken up throughout the country ana
quickly attained large proportions. The nalur-
al expansion of the work was materially aug
mented from time to time by acts OF congress-
and in a comparatively short time the opera
lions came to have a very wide scope
From year to year, as the importance OF the
work has become increasingly evident, aodl-
tional hatcheries have been built, the capaclty
of existing hatcheries has been enlarged, the
scale of the operations has been extended, and
new kinds of fishes have been added TO the
output.
Today there is scarcely a phase OF aqulcui-
ture, of the fishing industry, or OF biological
and physical science as connected with Inc
