TWO FISH HATCHERlES
FOR MARYLAND WATERS
One Near Littlestown, the Other a
Float for Chesapeake Bay
\ and Tributaries.

The Maryland state conservation
commission has completed plans for
the construction Of two fish hatcheries.
one for fresh water and the other for
salt water fish. The fresh water hatch
cry Is to be located in Frederick
county. at the foot OF the Catoctin
mountains, near Littlestown
At this plant it is proposed to pro-
duce trout. bass. catfish. crappie, blue
gills and Dream. These three latter
species are practically unknown to the
commercial fish markets in this sec
tion, but are excellent food fish. They
are to be distributed into fresh water
streams. and each OF these species are
fish that readily take the hook and
line. .
The salt water fish Matching plant is
to be a floating one. and what was
formerly floating theater has been
secured to be made into hatchery
The boat is seventy-five feet long, with
a twenty-foot beam. and is peculiarly
adapted for the work. On this boat
the conservation commission hopes to
turn out shad. perch and herring in
endless quantities. In addition an at
tempt is to be made to propagate rock
fish. Little II any effort has hereto
fore been made to cultivate this
delicious member OF the fnny tribe.
and il is thought that the Chesa peake
bay and tributaries will receive in the
spring thousands of these small fish TO
be turned loose for propagation
