 At the end of the frse ten years of the bu- -reaus existence. the fishes that were being regularly cultivated were shad carp chinook salmon. Atlantic salmon landlocked salmon. rainbow trout. brook trout and whitefish fin ad- >dition to which the propagation of several oth CTS had been undertaken CXpermcntaly The list now Is six times as long and the annual output is ten times the aggregate for the ten. year period ending in 1881
 The main energies are devoted to the i'm. portant commercial fshes-shad. whitensh lake trout, Pacific salmons white perch vel low perch cod flathsh and the lobster. which are matched fin lots of many millions annually More widely popular however are the distri. buttons of the fishes of the interior waters which are generally classed as game fishes Al though representing only about TO per cent of the output of the hatchercs this feature of the work is very important for 1t supplies choice kinds of fish for public rivers. lakes and ponds and for fishing preserves and private ponds and streams in all parts of the United States The fishes most In demand for these purposes are the land.locked salmon the diff ferent species of trout the grayling the basses the crappies, the sunfshes and the catashes but various others also are handled
 Fish-eutual stations are established by special act of congress and their location and construction are determined after careful survey of the available sites in given state The usual buildings are the hatchery proper residence for the superintendent and his fam fly. and necessary oRtbuidngs Al some sta. tions there may also be power house toreman's or ish-culturist's dwelling mess hall and sta. ble
 The only permanent marine hatcheries are in Maine and Massachusetts. where the cod pollock. hatfsh, and Holsters are matched in immense numbers. Other sea fishes that have in previous years been artihcialy propagated and may again come under the hand of the ,ish-culturist are the haddock the scuppaug the sheepshead, the sea bass. the mackerel and the squeteague, some of which were matched on the steamer Fish Hawk in Chesapeake bay and Florida
