Washington. Dec. 23.-The annual
report of the Commissioner of Fish
cries to the Secretary of Commerce
shows that the bureau has just COM
pleted the most successful of the A.
years of its existence. The number OF
fish produced and distributed was
greater. and the cost of production per
million less, than in any previous year.
Fifty permanent hatcheries and 20
sub hatcheres auxiliaries, and egg
collecting stations have been conduct
ed and the output during the fiscal
year 1915 was over four billion young
fish and eggs, an increase OF more
than 241.000.0n0 over the previous
year Plants Of food fishes were made
in every state and territory: FISH eggs
were distributed TO the fish commits
SionS of - states: and conSgnmentS
of eggs were sent to Porto Rico. Cuba.
India. and Japan. The distribution of
the output required over $4,000 miles
of travel by the five special cars Of the
bureau and 1000 miles by detached
messengers The introduction of the
humpback salmon of the Pacific coast
into Maine streams. which last year
was an experiment. is now a reality.
as numbers of these fish were taken
during the summer of 1915 in the
Maine rivers; furthermore. ripe eggs
have been taken from them-a proof
positive of thorough acclimatiZatlon
The counter-eXperiment of transplant
ing the Atlantic lobster III PACING
waters is still in progress.
The steady decline of the lobster in
Gustry has been source of great UNI
easiness. The causes of this decline are
well known. and conference OF fish
ery experts was held in Woods Hole
early in July to consider just what
remedy should be applied to the alarm
ing situation. Resolutions adopted
clearly point out the course that the
States must pursue to arrest the de-
cline. and show the need for greater
efficiency in artificial propagation.
The marked dimirution Of the shad
also presents a serious problem. Shao

Maine to Florida and have for many
wears formed substantial contrlbu-

OF inadequate protection afforded the

rapidly depleted. shad hatcheries built

the federal government have been put
out of commission by the inability to
obtain eggs for Matching purposes. Inc
most serious condition exists in the
Chesapeake basin, where last year the
fishery was the poorest ever known.
The pearl-button industry of the Missis-
sippi valley is reposing much faith in the
output of fresh-water mussels from the
Fairport Gowa) biological station or the
bureau. The fresh-water mussel begins
its life as a parasite on the gills of fishes.
and part Of the work of the Fairport lab
oratory is injecting fishes with these
parasites-a process which in no way
injures the fish but merely provides
vehicle for transporting the mussels to
the places where they mature and be-
come of commercial value. About three
hundred million young mussels were thus
nut into suitable nurseries in 1915.
The bureau Of fisheries has done and
is doing much for the conservation and
