STATE FISH HATCHERIES
ESTABLISH RECORD
Artificial Fish Propagation and De-

Results.

More salmon eggs in state hitch
cries than ever before in the history
of the state-150,O00,O 600 of them
Is the record now being established
in the artificial fishery propagation
OF the Washington fish and game
commission, according to Fish Com
missioner l.. H. Darwin.
In addition to. the 100000, 1000
a total of 100000 trout eggs have
also been taken in the past season.
All of this forecasts a record salmon
and trout activity and the results will
mark another step in rehabilitating
the commercial fishing industry of
the Northwest. according to Darwin.
Many hatcheries which have been
closed for years have been reopened
to accommodate this record salmon
egg take" announced Commissioner
Darwin. "This record has been made
in spite of the decrease in the Chi
nook egg take on the Columbia River.
The huge number of eggs now in the
hatcheries represent silversides and
chum salmon, and the record-break-
ing fact Of these eggs is attributed
to the fact that low prices on these
species last year precluded any in
tensive fishing. Consequently, the
were given greater opportunity to
migrate up rivers to the hatcheries.
