The honorable the Srcrerary or CoMMERCE. Dear Mr. Secrerary: I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of the Bureau of Fisheries during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1931. The commercial fisheries of the United States and Alaska in the calendar year 1929 furnished employment to more than 191,000 per- sons, of whom 123,000 were fishermen and 64,000 were in the whole- sale and manufacturing industries. The catch amounted to 3,567,- 000,000 pounds, returning to the fishermen $123,054,000. Commercial fishermen conduct their operations on the high seas, along the entire stretch of our extensive coast line, including Alaska, on the Great Lakes, and in interior waters. Angling is followed in practically all waters capable of support- ing fish life, and interest in this recreational pastime has tre- mendously increased. The Senate Special Committee on Conserva- tion of Wild Life Resources estimates that there are 8,500,000 fish- ermen or anglers in the country and that the value of fishing tackle manufactared is approximately $25,000,000. The national Bureau of Fisheries is concerned with the wise use of this great natural resource and its maintenance and extension without danger of exhaustion. The output of fish and eggs from its 88 stations and substations located in 35 States, Alaska, and the District of Columbia approximated 7,122,000,000 during the fiscal year ended June, 1931, and included marine, anadromous, and fresh- water species of commercial importance, as well as the highly prized game fishes. The bureau supplied 119 cooperative nurseries with over 4,000,000 young fish, increased its own output of fingerling fish by 28 per cent, and salvaged more than 182,500,000 fish in the Mississippi River section. Dependence on it for fish for stocking purposes was greatly increased because of the ruinous drought of the preceding season, in which many streams completely dried up. Added fish-cultural facilities provided for under the 5-year con- struction and maintenance program (act approved May 21, 1980) are being established as rapidly as possible. 1 The bureau’s program of biological research included studies of 30 important food and game fishes, expansion of its program of research in the fields of experimental fish culture and oyster farming, and direct aids to the fishermen in forecasting the abundance of certain species, in effecting means for lessening the destruction of immature and undersized fish, and in determining what restrictions were needed to conserve the supply. The completion of a modern laboratory at Seattle, Wash., provides much needed facilities for the Il BUREAU OF FISHERIES Ill Pacific coast biological staff of the bureau as well as for certain of its other personnel and the staff of the International Halibut Commission. In the field of animal nutrition the bureau, in cooperation with other agencies, has been enabled to make noteworthy and timely con- tributions which have demonstrated the richness of domestic fish oils in vitamins A and D, thus extending their use in animai feeding. The relative feeding value of fish meals produced by the different processes of manufacture has been indicated, and the trade shown means for improving their manufacturing methods and eliminating waste. The assistance given has been especially timely because of the depressed fats, oils, and feeds markets and has resulted both to the advantage of the fish-reduction industry in increasing the demanu for domestic products and to agriculture in making these products rich in certain factors available at lower cost. To meet the growing demands for investigations in this field, the bureau has been com- pelled to establish a nutrition laboratory in Washington, D. C., which is now in operation. There has also been set up a temporary fishery products laboratory at Gloucester, Mass., at which point important technological studies are being continued. In the collection of annual statistics of the catch the bureau was able to cover all sections except for certain fisheries of the Mississippi River. Alaska fishery laws and regulations for the conservation of its fisheries have been executed vigorously in an effort to assure the maintenance of this great resource. The seal herd breeding on the Pribilof Islands has been built up until it now numbers considerably in excess of 1,000,000 animals, and the current season’s killing of surplus males is expected to approximate 50,000. With the appropriation of the sum of $6,075, available March 1, 1931, for the balance of the fiscal year for the enforcement of the law regulating the interstate transportation of black bass, as amended and approved July 2, 1930, the bureau proceeded with ail possible promptness to organize a new division to perform the functions imposed by the law. In the calendar year 1930 the fish-canning industry—the most important process of manufacture—packed 576,685,000 pounds, valued at $82,858,000. In excess of 80,000,000 pounds of fresh fish, valued at $12,500,000, was prepared for the market by the packaged fresh- fish trade, and 139,297,000 pounds of fish were frozen. Secondary fish products to the value of $23,721,000 were produced by the by- products industries. During the previous year the production of cured fish amounted to more than 110,000,000 pounds, valued at $17,500,000, and in 1930 imports of fishery products for consumption were valued at $50,830,000, while the value of domestic exports was $17,276,000. In comparison with 1929, there were decreases in the value of packaged fish, canned fish, secondary products, and imports and exports, while the production of frozen fish increased. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS REVISED NORTHERN PACIFIC HALIBUT CONVENTION The investigations of the International Fisheries Commission pro- vided for under the convention with Great Britain and Canada, ratified October 21, 1924, have shown that the stock of northern nV’ REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE Pacific halibut is in a precarious condition, faced with ultimate exhaustion, unless the fishery is properly controlled. It will be appreciated that it is a complicated and difficult problem to exercise adequate control over a living organism, and particularly so when that organism is a species of fish inhabiting the depths of the ocean over a coastwise stretch of more than 2,000 miles. Under this conven- tion the commission was required to make recommendations to the two Governments for concurrent action as to the regulations deemed necessary for the preservation and development of the fishery. It is a most difficult if not impracticable procedure to obtain considera- tion of minor regulations by the Congress of the United States and the Canadian Parliament each year. To provide a simpler, more responsive system of control a revised convention with Canada was signed on May 9, 1930, and became effective on May 9, 1931, by the exchange of ratifications at Ottawa. It was proclaimed by the Presi- dent on May 14, 1931, and contains the following articles: ARTICLE I The nationals and inhabitants and fishing vessels and boats of the United States of America and of the Dominion of Canada, respectively, are hereby pro- hibited from fishing for halibut (Hippoglossus) both in the territorial waters and in the high seas off the western coasts of the United States of America, in- cluding the southern as well as the western coasts of Alaska, and of the Do- minion of Canada, from the first day of November next after the date of the exchange of ratifications of this Convention to the fifteenth day of the following February, both days inclusive, and within the same period yearly thereafter. The International Fisheries Commission provided for by Article III is hereby empowered, subject to the approval of the President of the United States of America and of the Governor General of the Dominion of Canada, to suspend or modify the closed season provided for by this article, as to part or all of the convention waters, when it finds after investigation such changes are necessary. It is understood that nothing contained in this convention shall prohibit the nationals or inhabitants or the fishing vessels or boats of the United States of America or of the Dominion of Canada, from fishing in the waters hereinbefore specified for other species of fish during the season when fishing for halibut in such waters is prohibited by this Convention or by any regulations adopted in pursuance of its provisions. Any halibut that may be taken incidentally when fishing for other fish during the season when fishing for halibut is prohibited under the provisions of this Convention or by any regulations adopted in pur- suance of its provisions may be retained and used for food for the crew of the vessel by which they are taken. Any portion thereof not so used shall be landed and immediately turned over to the duly authorized officers of the De- partment of Commerce of the United States of America or of the Department of Marine and Fisheries of the Dominion of Canada. Any fish turned over to such officers in pursuance of the provisions of this article shall be sold by them to the highest bidder and the proceeds of such sale, exclusive of the necessary expenses in connection therewith, shall be paid by them into the treasuries of their respective countries. It is further understood that nothing contained in this convention shall prohibit the International Fisheries Commission from conducting fishing op- erations for investigation purposes during the closed season. ARTICLE II Jvery national or inhabitant, vessel or boat of the United States of America or of the Dominion of Canada engaged in halibut fishing in violation of the preceding article may be seized except within the jurisdiction of the other party by the duly authorized officers of either High Contracting Party and de- tained by the officers making such seizure and delivered as soon as practicable to an authorized official of the country to which such person, vessel or boat be- longs, at the nearest point to the place of seizure, or elsewhere, as may be agreed upon. The authorities of the nation to which such person, vessel or BUREAU OF FISHERIES Vv boat belongs alone shall haye jurisdiction to conduct prosecutions for the vio- lation of the provisions of this Convention, or any regulations which may be adopted in pursuance of its provisions, and to impose penalties for such viola- tions; and the witnesses and proofs necessary for such prosecutions, so far as such witnesses or proofs are under the control of the other High Contracting Party, shall be furnished with all reasonable promptitude to the authorities having jurisdiction to conduct the prosecutions. ARTICLE III The High Contracting Parties agree to continue under this Convention the Commission as at present constituted and known as the International Fisheries Commission, established by the Convention between the United States of America and His Britannic Majesty for the preservation of the halibut fishery of the Northern Pacific Ocean including Bering Sea, concluded March 2, 1923, consisting of four members, two appointed by each Party, which Commission Shall make such investigations as are necessary into the life history of the halibut in the convention waters and shall publish a report of its activities from time to time. Each of the High Contracting Parties shall have power to fill, and shall fill from time to time, vacancies which may occur in its representa- tion on the Commission. Each of the High Contracting Parties shall pay the salaries and expenses of its own members, and joint expenses incurred by the Commission shall be paid by the two High Contracting Parties in equal moieties. The High Contracting Parties agree that for the purposes of protecting and conserving the halibut fishery of the Northern Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea, the International Fisheries Commission, with the approval of the President of the United States of America and of the Governor General of the Dominion of Canada, may, in respect of the nationals and inhabitants and fishing vessels and boats of the United States of America and of the Dominion of Canada, from time to time, (a) divide the convention waters into areas; (0) limit the catch of halibut to be taken from each area; (c) fix the size and character of halibut fishing appliances to be used therein ; (d@) make such regulations for the collection of statistics of the catch of halibut including the licensing and clearance of vessels, as will enable the International Fisheries Commission to determine the condition and trend of the halibut fishery by banks and areas, as a proper basis for protecting and conserving the fishery ; (e) close to all halibut fishing such portion or portions of an area or areas, as the International Fisheries Commission find to be populated by small, immature halibut. ARTICLE IV The High Contracting Parties agree to enact and enforce such legislation as may be necessary to make effective the provisions of this Convention and any regulation adopted thereunder, with appropriate penalties for violations thereof. ARTICLE V The present Convention shall remain in force for a period of five years and thereafter until two years from the date.when either of the High Contracting Parties shall give notice to the other of its desire to terminate it. This Convention shall, from the date of the exchange of ratifications be deemed to supplant the Convention between the United States of America and His Britannic Majesty for the Preservation of the Halibut Fishery of the Northern Pacific Ocean including Bering Sea, concluded March 2, 1923. ARTICLE VI This Convention shall be ratified in accordance with the constitutional methods of the High Contracting Parties. The ratifications shall be exchanged at Ottawa as soon as practicable, and the Convention shall come into force on the day of the exchange of ratifications. VI REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE PASSAMAQUODDY POWER PROJECT By joint resolution (Pub. Res. No. 83, 71st Cong.) approved June 9, 1930, Congress authorized an appropriation to defray the United States’ share of the expenses of an investigation, to be made jointly by the United States and Canada, of the probable effects on the fisheries of the proposed international developments to gener- ate electric power from the movements of the tides in the Passama- quoddy and Cobscook Bays region. The President appointed Henry O’Malley, Commissioner of Fisheries, and O. E. Sette, in charge of North Atlantic fishery investigations of this bureau, as the United States commissioners to conduct the investigations. Wm. A. Found, Deputy Minister of Fisheries, and Prof. A. G. Huntsman, of the Biological Board of Canada, were appointed to represent Canada. The commission met on June 8, 1931, in Montreal to organize and to consider arrangements for initiating the investigation. Mr. Found was chosen chairman and plans were made for the selection of four responsible investigators to conduct investigations on z00- plankton, phytoplankton, oceanic chemistry, physical oceanography, and fisheries. The investigations are planned along the following ines: 1. Detailed study of the occurrence of the herring in relation to various environmental conditions as an indication of how its avail- ability in the fishery might be affected by the construction of the dams. 2. A study of the abundance of phytoplankton and zooplankton (as: a basis for fish life) in relation to the physical and chemical states of the water in the Bay of Fundy and along the coast of Maine. 3. Detailed examination of existing hydrographic conditions as indicating the relative importance of the water mixing at the mouth of Passamaquoddy Bay as determining the physical and chemical states of the water in the Bay of Fundy and along the coast of Maine. The commission and investigative staff will be aided by an advisory committee of four scientists. For Canada these are: Prof. F. R. Hayes, zoological department, Dalhousie University, and Dr. A. W. H. Needler, in charge of oyster investigations; and for the United States, Dr. H. B. Bigelow, director of the Woods Hole (Mass.) Oceanographic Institution, and Prof. A. E. Parr, curator, Bingham oceanographic collection, Yale University. NORTH AMERICAN COUNCIL ON FISHERY INVESTIGATIONS The council held its seventeenth meeting in Washington, D. C., on November 6 and 7, 1930, with representatives from Canada, France, Newfoundland, and the United States present. The meeting con- cerned itself with a wide range of subjects dealing with the practical and scientific problems of our North Atlantic fisheries in keeping with its purpose to coordinate the program of research along emi- nently practical lines. Reports on investigations of the cod, haddock, mackerel, herring, and squid fisheries, the Passamaquoddy power project, ocean currents and temperatures, and fishery statistics were received. Dr. Ed. le Danois, director of the marine-fisheries work in France, gave a very interesting account of the movement of North Atlantic waters and their effects on the fisheries, and the Hon. H. B. BUREAU OF FISHERIES VII C. Lake, Minister of Marine and Fisheries of Newfoundland, empha- sized the seriousness of the bait situation and need for assuring to the fishermen adequate supplies of bait material. Dr. Harold Thomp- son, a well-known investigator of the Scottish Fishery Board, who is cooperating with the Newfoundland Government in working out a program of fishery research, was present. INTERNATIONAL COLONIAL EXPOSITION AT PARIS In connection with the participation by the Government of the United States in the International Colonial and Overseas Exposition at Paris from May 1 through October, 1931, the bureau prepared an appropriate display regarding the fishery and fur-seal industries of Alaska. The articles assembled included a life-size reproduction of a chinook salmon, models of salmon steaks and fillets, salmon and clam cans and labels, a mounted fur seal, several dressed and dyed fur-seal skins, and two fur-seal coats. Appropriate photographic presentations were also included. CONSERVATION OF WHALES At one period the United States led all nations in the prosecution of the whale fisheries. It still produces from one to one and a half million gallons of whale oil and imports over seven million gallons, making it a large consumer of this product. During the past quarter of a century the prosecution of this fishery on all seas has been greatly intensified. The development of floating factory ships with a displacement up to 30,000 tons or more, some of the larger with storage space for three and one-half to six million gallons of oil, has made possible an intensive exploitation of the fish- ery in Antarctic waters. The mother ship is accompanied by a fleet of “killers,” smaller swift vessels, to scour the seas and tow the catch to the factory ship. On some of these factory ships there is provision for hauling the whales aboard for cutting up, thus greatly simpli- fying reduction operations. The world catch of whales increased from about 12,000 in the calendar year 1920 to more than 27,500 in 1929, and the production of whale oil increased from nearly 20,400,000 gallons to 93,400,000 gallons in this 10-year period. This intensified pursuit of whales in practically all seas of the globe has aroused grave concern lest the supply be exhausted and the investment in the industry, which has yielded over $60,000,000 in products in a year, be jeopardized. Because of the cosmopolitan character of whales and the number of countries engaged in the fishery, regulation would appear necessary by international agree- ment. In Europe some provision for the study of the subject has been made, and several nations have applied some restrictions on . the operation of their nationals. In this country the question is receiving attention by the Special Committee on Wild Life Re- sources of the United States Senate, the American Society of Mam- malogists, and other conservation agencies. Among the protective measures which should receive attention are the prevention of the capture of certain of the rarer species, the kill- ing of immature whales of whatever species, and the undue exploita- 75963—31——2 VIII REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE tion of the fishery as a whole. It may be necessary to provide for the licensing of whaling companies, setting forth the terms under which they shall operate, including as complete utilization of the animals killed as is practicable. It is also highly important that an international agency be established for a more intensified study of the trend of the fishery, the need for regulations, and the character of regulations essential to prevent the exhaustion of the supply, with as little interference with commercial operations as possible. JAPANESE VESSELS IN BERING SEA The summer of 1930 marked the advent of Japanese vessels in Bering Sea waters adjacent to the Alaskan coast for the packing of crabs. The floating cannery steamer Zaihoku Maru, a vessel of over 7,000 tons, accompanied by the steam beam trawler Myogi Maru and a number of power launches, was operated about 20 miles offshore from Nelson Lagoon on the Alaska Peninsula. A pack of upward of 20,000 cases of crabs was made. The trawler Aokusat Maru, a vessel 118 feet in length, engaged in experimental fishing in Bristol Bay waters 15 or more miles offshore in August, 1930, a small take of cod, crabs, and halibut resulting. In addition, the Japanese Govern- ment vessel Hakwyo Maru made a trip in 1930 to waters of Bering Sea. This is a training ship of the Imperial Fisheries Institute of Tokyo and is a modern steel vessel of about 2,000 tons. In the sum- mer of 1931 the floating cannery Nagato Maru was engaged in the packing of crabs in Bering Sea waters a few miles north of the Alaska Peninsula. DOMESTIC RELATIONS AID TO OUR ISLAND DEPENDENCIES Hawaiian pearl oysters —At the invitation of the Territorial gov- ernment of Hawaii, the bureau detailed its oyster expert, Dr. P. S. Galtsoff, to an investigation of the newly discovered pearl-oyster resources of Pearl and Hermes Reef for the purpose of developing a conservation policy. Transported from Honolulu on July 15, 1930, by the Navy mine layer Whippoorwill and accompanied by 3 Philip- pine divers, Doctor Galtsoff spent 5 weeks in making a series of biological investigations at 75 stations in the lagoon where the oysters occur. Pearl oysters were found at depths from 10 to 47 feet, at- tached almost exclusively to live corals. All oyster reefs examined showed obvious signs of depletion. One-year-old oysters were very few in number. The oysters spawn in July and August. It is esti- mated that since 1927, when these beds were discovered, not less than 100 tons of shells (about 106,000 oysters) were taken; and, without protection, the beds will be completely wiped out in a short time. The closure of the beds to fishing for a period of 3 to 5 years was recommended. Several hundred live oysters were brought back to Honolulu and planted in Kaneohe Bay, where conditions appeared to be suitable for their growth and propagation. An examination of this stock made on April 17, 1931, disclosed that the oysters were doing well, those examined having nearly doubled in size since they were planted in the previous September. The Territorial government BUREAU OF FISHERIES IX is making arrangements to bring more oysters from Pearl and Hermes Reef in the continuance of the restocking policy. Fisheries of the Virgin Islands—R. H. Fiedler and N. D. Jarvis, on May 2, 1931, were detailed to conduct a survey of the fisheries of the Virgin Islands of the United States with a view to alleviating the present economic plight of these islands. Work began on May 15, 1931, in St. Thomas, and the preliminary survey was completed on May 30, 1931. The survey revealed that during the calendar year 1930 the fisheries of the Virgin Islands of the United States em- ployed 405 fishermen. Their catch amounted to 616,000 pounds of fishery products valued at $49,080 to the fishermen. In making the catch the fishermen used 1 motor boat, 38 sailboats, and 147 rowboats. The gear employed consisted of 40 haul seines, 90 tangle nets (turtle), 113 cast nets, 297 lines, and 1,600 set pots. About one-third of the total catch was made by set pots, one-third by seines, and one-third by lines or other types of gear, and by hand. In addition, it was determined that: the industry in the islands is faced with the prob- lem of marketing the catch now obtained rather than the lack of a sufficient supply. There is reason to believe that there are many times throughout the year when the local markets are glutted with fish, making it impossible to dispose of the catch. Two plans ap- peared feasible for relieving the situation. These are: (1) Expand the market for fresh fish; (2) establish a local fish-curing industry to replace imported cured fish. In order to further these plans Mr. Jarvis remained in the islands for several weeks to conduct experi- ments along these lines. These experiments have proved successful ; and if the findings are adopted it is believed that the economic wel- fare of the fisheries of the islands will be materially improved. FISHERIES CONFERENCES On October 27 and 28, 1930, the bureau was represented at an im- portant interstate fishery conference at Savannah, Ga., called by the fish and game commissioner of Georgia to consider various fishery problems of common interest to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, with special reference to oysters, shad, and shrimp. The conference adopted a resolution favoring extension of private oyster culture and the apphcation of modern methods of oyster farming, also one favoring restriction of the shad fisheries, protection of spawning grounds, and provision for escapement of a sufficient spawning reserve. At the invitation of the Commissioner of Fisheries, conservation officials and leading conservationists of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia met at the bureau on December 9, 1930, to formulate a program for the rehabili- tation of the game fishes, particularly the black bass, the control of pollution, and the protection of the shad in the Potomac River. Resolutions were passed recommending (1) uniform laws govern- ing the fisheries in boundary waters; (2) measures designed to afford the black bass proper protection; (3) effective laws for the protec- tion of the shad; (4) the enactment of legislation by the States for more complete sewage and trade waste disposal; (5) provisions for cooperative study on means for disposing of industrial wastes; and (6) the prevention of the pollution of streams. x REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE In providing effective cooperation with the Federal Government in the enforcement of the black bass law it was recommended that the States (1) prohibit the sale of black bass whether taken within or without the State; (2) provide entire closure to fishing during the spawning season of the bass; (3) prohibit the export of bass ,allowing the nonresident licensee to carry out a 2-day bag limit; (4) provide a uniform size limit; and (5) provide a daily bag limit ; and further that the Federal and State agencies increase their output of young bass to care for the demand from private cooperative agencies de- sirous of rearing the young to fingerling sizes for stocking purposes and for more generous plantings in the streams. COOPERATION WITH STATES With the work of the bureau extending into every State, coopera- tive arrangements are frequently enter ed into with the various agen- cies engaged in similar work. This prevents duplication of effort and effects a considerable saving of money for all concerned. In its hmnological survey of Lake Erie the bureau has been aided by the States of Ohio and New York. Similar arrangements exist with Wisconsin in the lake work of that State. Cooperative arrangements with Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas in the shrimp work have greatly enlarged its scope, the two former States financing the operations of two of the bureau’s vessels assigned to their waters. California is assisting with the trout and steelhead salmon studies on the Pacific slope. The oyster work of the bureau has been materially aided by the cooperation of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Oregon, and Washington. In the fish cultural work the Rocky Mountain States have been ver y helpful in the program of restoring the depleted streams of this popular fishing section to former abundance by mutually beneficial cooperative ege collecting and rearing operations. In addition, cooperation has been received in this work from many of the other States, notably Michigan, Minne- sota, Washington, and Oregon. In so far as personnel is available expert advice has been freely granted to State and private fish- culturists in the solving of their various problems. Exceptional cooperation also has been received in the collection of statistics. Many States furnish data so complete that only supplemental sur- veys need be made by the bureau’s agents. In the enforcement work of the new black bass law the bureau, on account of limited funds, has had to depend on State help and cooperation to expedite the program. This has been freely given, and many of the States are assisting by allowing the appointment of their regularly em- ployed State fish and game protectors to the cooperative position of Federal black bass law inspectors, for which they receive no remu- neration, thus rendering a distinct service in a very material way. In addition to the States, the Navy Department, through the transporting of supplies to the Pribilof Islands, has given valuable and much appreciated aid and, together with the War Department, has loaned vessels for other services as well. The United States Forest Service and the National Park Service rely upon the bureau for fish for stocking the streams and lakes in their reservations and cooperate to the fullest extent. BUREAU OF FISHERIES XI FIVE-YEAR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM The act of May 21, 1930 (46 Stat. 371), entitled “An act to rovide for a 5-year construction and maintenance program for the nited States Bureau of Fisheries,’ authorized, among other things, the establishment, during the fiscal year 1931, of fish cul- tural stations in New Mexico, Louisiana, and Idaho; fish cultural substations in Wisconsin, Montana, Colorado, and New Hampshire; a fishery laboratory in the State of Washington; and an experi- mental bass and trout station in Maryland or West Virginia. A total of $505,000 was authorized to be appropriated for the estab- lishment of these projects. The second deficiency act, fiscal year 1930, appropriated $265,000 for the fiscal year 1931 to enable the bureau to establish or to commence the establishment of these projects. Sites suitable for the establishment of the fish-cultural substa- tion in New Hampshire and for the fishery laboratory in the State of Washington were available on land already owned by the United States and consequently their establishment was begun early in the fiscal year and practically completed. The New Hampshire station is located in the White Mountain National Forest near the town of West Milan. The laboratory is located at 2725 Montlake Boule- vard, Seattle, Wash., on land known as the “ Old Lake Washington Canal right of way.” : Sites near Natchitoches, La., Leadville, Colo., and Charles Town, W. Va., were acquired for the establishment of the stations in those States and construction was begun during the year. Sites near Dexter, N. Mex., Gooding, Idaho, and Lake Mills, Wis., were selected for the stations to be established in those States; but title to these sites was not perfected during the fiscal year, and necessarily construction could not be begun. PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD AND GAME FISHES INTRODUCTION The operations of the fish-cultural division of the Bureau of Fisheries include the propagation and distribution of marine and fresh-water fishes. As a result of such activities during the fiscal year 1931, 7,121,806,000 fish and eggs were produced and dis- tributed. This represents a decrease in output of 448,677,000 as compared with the preceding year. ‘Two important facts to be taken into consideration in comparing the output of one fiscal year with that of another are the amount of equipment employed and the size of the fish produced. The equipment in operation during 1931 was essentially the same as in 1930. Carp propagation was suspended at the Put in Bay (Ohio) station. Ponds for warm-water fishes were constructed in rice fields in the vicinity of Orangeburg, 8. C. At Pyramid Lake, Nev., extensive collections of black-spotted trout eggs were made. Black. bass ponds covering an area of approximately 4 acres were completed at the Cape Vincent (N. Y.) station and placed in operation. These changes were not of great magnitude, and the equipment employed XII REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE during the two years may be considered on an approximately equal basis. The experience gained in the planting of large fingerling and yearling trout, salmon, and other fishes that can be reared to finger- lng and yearling sizes has demonstrated that the distribution of such fishes in the egg and fry stages should not be resorted to except when lack of adequate facilities makes it imperative. The signifi- cance of the planting of 1,000 large fingerling fish might easily over- shadow the planting of many times that number of fish of the same species in the fry stage. Because of this fact much of the expansion of fish-cultural equipment and effort for the production of certain fishes has taken place with the view to producing fish of larger size rather than increasing the numerical output. The continued efforts put forth by the bureau to produce larger fish have resulted in the distribution of a greater proportion of the output in the fingerling stage. Such increase in-the fiscal year 1931 as compared with the fingerling production of the preceding year amounted to 28 per cent. Since these larger fish require more space and care than fish in the fry stage, it might be assumed that the total production of the hatcheries in operation would be propor- tionately reduced. As a matter of fact, however, only two species of salmon—steelhead and chum—showed any appreciable decrease in numbers as compared with 1930, while the chinook, sockeye, humpback, and Atlantic salmons showed a substantial increase in production. The output of the other salmons and trout handled did not vary markedly from the figures of the preceding year. There was an increased output of practically all the important commercial and game species handled, and in the case of the shad, herring, cisco, pike perch, and winter flounder such increases were large. The decline in the total output may be ascribed largely to a falling off in the production of cod and pollock, such decrease amounting to 1,135,999,000. These species are distributed in the ege and fry stages, and the egg collections are dependent upon the weather conditions encountered rather than upon the efficiency and effort put forth by the egg-collecting crews. Aside from the cod and pollock operations, the fiscal year 1931 may be regarded as a most successful year from a propagation and distribution stand- point. The year’s output, classified according to the character of the fishes handled, may be summarized as follows: Game fishes: Warm-water species— Number IRIS GG tae Sse Cer AS Sd ee be ee eee 4, 870, 000 SUTIN GS yess poe Ss ce eee a a SS ae eo ee 12, 653, COO Grappa ses Se Bes es! eke 2 28, 549, 000 PIKGVATNO OICKeCrOls fo 22 t= te ee ee ee 3, 927, 000 CChaNTL STM ee rene eee oe a a ee 84, 521, 000 ihenee.¥ Semi atier to ko ae ee 101, 000 Cold-water species: Trouts— ISTOOK SOR 2 2 16, 296, 000 RAINDOW! 225.

Most of them are incubated in hatch- eries and the fry liberated soon after hatching. However, the low- water density experienced in some of the egg-collecting fields makes it imperative to plant the green eggs on the spawning grounds im- mediately after fertilization has been accomplished. A consider- able increase may be noted in the distribution of haddock and winter flounder. On the other hand, the production of cod and pollock fell far short of the results with these species in the preceding year. Pacific salmon—The output of Pacific salmon was considerably in excess of last year’s production. Owing to the more favorable conditions existing on the spawning grounds in the Columbia River and in California, the egg collections of the chinook salmon ex- ceeded those of last year by more than 40,000,000. More eggs of the humpback salmon than last year were taken in the Afognak (Alaska) field. Anadromous species of the Atlantic coast—A comparatively suc- cessful year was experienced in the propagation of shad.

Appendix I to the Report of the U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries for 1931. Approved for publication 1 2 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES INTRODUCTION The conservation of the fisheries resources and the protection and utilization of the Pribilof Islands fur-seal herd comprise the two main divisions of the bureau’s activities in Alaska. For the maintenance of the fisheries on an undiminished scale it is essential that an adequate number of spawning fish be permitted to escape capture each season. To this end, restrictions are placed on commercial operations, some of which are of general application, while others are adapted to the needs in particular localities. In the summer of 1930 the Commissioner of Fisheries made an extended cruise over the Territory to observe conditions in all the principal fishing districts. From time to time during the season modifications were made in existing regulations to meet unforeseen developments, and toward the end of the year a revised set of regu- lations was issued for the following season. A patrol of all the important fishing grounds was maintained to insure compliance with the law and regulations. Fifteen vessels belonging to the bureau, 10 chartered boats, a considerable number of launches, and upward of 200 temporary employees were engaged in this work. In addition, some use was made of aircraft for brief periods, as in the previous year. Further attention was given to the removal of barriers that hindered the passage of salmon upstream, and a general survey of conditions on the spawning beds was made at tne close of the season. The bureau cooperated with the Federal Power Commission in connection with applications for licenses for power projects, and with the Bureau of the Census in taking the decennial census in Alaska. Scientific studies of the salmon, herring, and other aquatic resources were continued. Weirs were operated in 26 typical streams in various parts of Alaska to count the escapement of spawning salmon. The data thus obtained are of value in establishing the ratio of escape to catch and in determining the probable return from a known escape- ment. Reports of commercial operations were collected, and the data compiled therefrom are published herewith. At the Pribilof Islands 42,500 fur-seal skins were taken, an increase of 2,432 over the take for 1929. A computation as of August 10, 1930, showed a total of 1,045,101 animals in the herd, a gain of 73,574 over the corresponding figures for the preceding year. The care of fox herds on the islands was given attention during the winter months, and in the season of 1930-31 there were taken 889 blue and 26 white fox pelts. Valuable service was rendered by the United States Coast Guard in maintaining a patrol of the waters frequented by the Pribilof Islands fur seals. The administration of the fur-seal work was greatly facilitated by the commissioning in May of the bureau’s sturdy new 130-foot power vessel Penguin to replace the Hider as tender for the Pribilof Islands. Work progressed satisfactorily at the islands on the con- struction of new buildings for natives and for use in connection with the fur-seal activities, including an addition to the by-products plant. Some extension of improved roads was made, and a new dock was begun at East Landing on St. Paul Island. ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 3 Through courtesy of the Navy Department, the U. S. S. Sirius transported the annual shipment of supplies from Seattle to the Pribilof Islands. Two public auction sales of fur-seal skins were held during the year by the department’s selling agents at St. Louis. At one of these fox skins were sold also. Acknowledgment is made of the assistance rendered by members of the bureau’s staff in the compilation and preparation of this report. VISIT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF FISHERIES TO ALASKA The Commissioner of Fisheries was in Alaska for several weeks during the active salmon-fishing season to observe the general con- dition of the fisheries. This direct contact with the industry makes possible more immediate modifications of the regulations, as may be necessary because of developments of importance during the fishing season. Commissioner O’Malley left Seattle on the Brant on July 3 and made brief visits at Ketchikan, Wrangell, and Juneau in southeast Alaska before proceeding westward. Seward was reached on July 13, where he transferred to the Teal for passage to Iliamna Bay, whence the journey was continued over the portage to Bristol Bay. The commissioner sailed from Naknek on the Crane on July 17 for the south side of Alaska Peninsula, where on July 20 at Kabuch Point he again boarded the Brant to return to southeast Alaska, stopping en route at Squaw Harbor, Karluk, Afognak hatchery, Kodiak, Saw- mill Bay, Nellie Juan, Valdez, and Cordova. Sitka was reached on July 28, and approximately three weeks thereafter were spent cruising in the southeastern district. Following his departure from Alaska, Commissioner O’ Malley gave attention to various fishery matters on the Pacific coast, including official hearings regarding the proposed treaty for the preservation of sockeye salmon in the Fraser River system, and returned to Wash- ington on September 10. EXECUTIVE ORDER ESTABLISHING AN ALASKA COMMISSION Under date of January 10, 1930, an Executive order was issued forming a commission to work out a plan for the administration of Government business in the Territory of Alaska. The text of the order is as follows: Pursuant to the provisions of the act of February 10, 1927, entitled ‘‘An act authorizing the designation of an ex officio commissioner for Alaska for each of the executive departments of the United States, and for other purposes,” and for the more economical and effective conduct of business in the Territory, it is hereby ordered that the commissioners who represent the Departments of Interior, Agriculture, and Commerce be formed into a commission, under the chairmanship of the ex officio commissioner for Alaska for the Department of the Interior, and that a plan of administration be worked out so that functions of these departments may be exercised in Alaska through the commissioner representing the department acting also as a member of the commission with the governor. The commission shall study and recommend to the President, forwarding copies of its report to each of the appropriate Secretaries, affairs which should be transferred to Alaska for administration; and the commission will secondly recommend what personnel and records are necessary and advisable to be trans- ferred to Alaska in connection with these administrative acts. The matter has been receiving appropriate consideration in regard to any modifications in administrative procedure that may be deemed advisable.: 4 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES THE McNARY-MAPES SUBSTANDARD FOOD AMENDMENT The MecNary-Mapes amendment to the United States food and drug act, approved July 8, 1930, and commonly referred to as the “substandard law’’ authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to establish standards for the different classes of canned foods, except meat and milk, and to prescribe the form of statement that must appear in a plain and conspicuous manner on the labels of canned food falling below the established standard. It has been emphasized that this amendment does not legalize adulteration or misbranding, but merely allows wholesome edible products of substandard quality to be labeled and sold as such. The application of this law to the salmon-packing industry is now receiving consideration, and it is anticipated that in due time regula- tions upon the subject will be promulgated by the Secretary of Agriculture. REGULATIONS FOR PROTECTION OF WALRUSES AND SEA LIONS A revised edition (fifth) of departmental Circular No. 286, contain- ing the laws and regulations for the protection of the walruses and sea lions of Alaska, was issued by the Acting Secretary of Commerce under date of May 1, 1930. The regulations governing the killing of walruses and sea lions are as follows: WALRUSES The killing of walruses in the Territory of Alaska or in any of the waters of Alaska over which the United States has jurisdiction is prohibited from May 1, 1930, to April 30, 1932, both dates inclusive. This prohibition shall not apply to the killing of walruses by natives for food or clothing, by miners or explorers when in need of food, or to the collection of specimens for scientific purposes under permits issued by the Secretary of Commerce. SEA LIONS The killing of sea lions in the Territory of Alaska or in any of the waters of Alaska over which the United States has jurisdiction is prohibited from May 1, 1930, to April 30, 1932, both dates inclusive. This prohibition shall not apply to the killing of sea lions by natives for food or clothing, by miners or explorers when in need of food, by anyone in the necessary protection of property or while such animals are actually engaged in the devastation of runs of salmon, or to the collection of specimens for scientific purposes under permits issued by the Secretary of Commerce. The penalties and forfeitures imposed by law will be strictly enforced against all persons who commit acts in violation thereof or of the regulations promulgated in accordance therewith. FISHERY INDUSTRIES As in corresponding reports for previous years, the Territory of Alaska is here considered in the three coastal geographic sections generally recognized, as follows: (1) Southeast Alaska—embracing all that narrow strip of mainland and the numerous adjacent islands from Portland Canal northwestward to and including Yakutat Bay; (2) central Alaska—the region on the Pacific from Yakutat Bay west- ward, including Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, and the southern coast of Alaska Peninsula, to Unimak Pass; and (3) western Alaska— the north shore of the Alaska Peninsula, including the Aleutian Islands westward from Unimak Pass, Bristol Bay, and the Kuskokwim and Yukon Rivers. These divisions are solely for statistical purposes and do not coincide with areas established in departmental regulations.

In 1930 the company operated eight traps within the reservation, the catch of which totaled 795,538 salmon; and 7,609 salmon taken in purse seines and gill nets within the reserve were purchased from natives. In addition, 113,118 salmon taken outside the reserve and purchased from natives and other independent operators of seines, gill nets, and traps were packed at the cannery. In the operation of the plant and the fish traps, employment was given to 230 persons, of whom 20 were whites, 196 natives, 13 Filipinos, and 1 Korean. 10 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES ALASKA FISHERY INTELLIGENCE SERVICE For a number of years the bureau telegraphed Ketchikan fish prices to various leading ports in Alaska. This service, which was of value to the fishermen and buyers alike, has been supplanted by the broadcasting each day through the Ketchikan radio station (KGBU) of prices of salmon. and halibut. Practically all fishing boats operated in Alaskan waters have radio receiving sets and are thus kept in close touch with market conditions. STREAM IMPROVEMENT Continuing the work undertaken in recent years and in accordance ‘with plans outlined the preceding season, an intensive program of stream-improvement work was carried out in 1930, particularly in the spring, payment therefor being taken care of in part by funds appro- priated by the Territorial Legislature at its 1929 session. Log jams and other obstructions that hindered the ascent of salmon to the spawning grounds were removed from 74 streams in south- eastern Alaska during the year. In this district also a fishway of reinforced concrete was constructed at Ketchikan Creek Falls. a Ee 628 ‘T 986 ‘EL “SHpOD Tis es Le ee See weZz01y ZI ‘9 000 Cee. 2 toe Pa oa ae ey oe | eer 'GZI ‘9 000 ‘Sz eal) es Rens TE eRe Re lk ae ysolg : ey :sIepuUno[ alo COR SEs TEER ea a ek ne ee cla Ab EL CE oL9 SOF ‘2 -TENODE Sue so) aise Ee ke BS uez0ly el O2p eae S55 ae eT |e ce a eee eee ae al | €.

S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES The total catch of salmon in 1930 was 82,741,632, an increase of 10,802,014, or 15 per cent, over the number taken in 1929. There was a gain of 23,186,893 in southeastern Alaska, while the central and western districts showed a falling off of 4,927,548 and 7,457,331, respectively. The catch by species shows that cohos increased 1,758,744, pinks 19,971,869, and kings 124,746, while reds decreased 8,279,486 and chums 2,773,859 CANNING CHANGES IN CANNERIES The Alaska Pacific Fisheries bought the plant of Burnett Inlet Packing Co. and operated it during the season. The cannery of. Far North Fisheries Co. at Hydaburg was leased to H. F. W. Kurth, formerly superintendent of the company, who carried on the business under the name of Kurth Fisheries. A new concern, Icy Straits Fisheries (Inc.), took over and operated the floating cannery Resolute, previously belonging to Mitkof Packing Co. The New England Fish Co. purchased the floating cannery Retriever from Red Salmon Packers Association and the plant was operated in the Yakutat dis- trict as in previous years. The Wrangell Narrows Packing Co. built a new cannery at Scow Bay to replace the plant at Mountain Point which was destroyed by fire in the fall of 1929. It was in readiness for operation by the opening of the season. The Franklin Packing Co. plant at Port Ashton, which was leased to Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation in 1929, was acquired and operated by the Shepard Point Packing Co. in 1930. The Pacific American Fisheries purchased and operated the cannery of Emel Packing Co. at Valdez. The cannery of the Alaska General Fisheries at Anchorage was sold to Farwest Fisheries (Inc.), which had for- merly been engaged in the business only on Puget Sound. . 0 esc ees [pee eee be 5 Ward’s Cove Packing Co._.__-.---__-------- T|"WardeCovesce. nso ead? 3 Wrangell Narrows Packing Co------.------- bots 11? agwibey-cc.2e semen oes ioe tees, Se eee Wrangell Packing Corporation. ------------- } 1 Wrangell. os23 3325 aes ions 3 3 ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 45 Companies thal canned salmon in Alaska, number and location of canneries operated, and number of traps owned by each, Company Central Alaska: Alaska Fishermen’s Cooperative Packing Co_ Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation ___--.-.-.| Alaska Packers Association Sale Se cee yeaa ae | Alaska Year-Round Canneries Co____------- | Baga ketuish @ontes Meee ek eA a) ed a | Anderson Mercantile Co.

In southeastern Alaska there were lost the steam cannery tender Anna Barron, gas boats Twin B and Clara Blanche, bunk houses, miscellaneous fishing equipment and small boats, having an aggregate value of $73,124. Losses in central Alaska comprised the gas boats Bol, Sunset, Go-Get, and Owl, several small boats, a cannery dock, and miscellaneous fishing equip- ment to the value of $41,813. The total loss in the western district amounted to $198,811 and consisted chiefly of buildings and equip- ment, docks, and small boats. Twenty-nine lives were lost—6 in southeast Alaska, 10 in central, and 13 in western Alaska. Jn the southeastern district 1 fisherman and 2 shoresmen died of disease, 1 shoresman met death by accident, and 2 transporters were drowned. Four fishermen and 1 transporter were drowned in central Alaska; 4 shoresmen died of disease, and 1 transporter was killed by accident. In western Alaska 1 fisherman and 11 shoresmen died of disease and 1 transporter was drowned. STATISTICS In 1930, 149 canneries were operated in Alaska, 7 less than in 1929. Employment was given to 22,324 persons, as compared with 24,271 in 1929, a decrease of 1,947. White employees decreased 823, na- tives 448, Chinese 188, Japanese 116, Mexicans 453, Kanakas 20, Porto Ricans 19, negroes 55, and miscellaneous 13, while Filipinos increased 188. The total pack of canned salmon was 5,032,326 cases, valued at $29,694,898. This was a decrease of 337,833 cases, or about 6 per cent, from the pack of 1929 and a decrease in value of $10,774,487, or about 27 per cent. The output in southeastern Alaska increased from ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 47 2,101,211 cases to 2,977,286 cases, or about 42 per cent, while there was a decrease in central Alaska from 2,084,503 cases to 1,618,545 vases, or 22 per cent, and in western Alaska from 1,184,445 cases to 436,495, or about 63 percent. In Alaska as a whole the pack of cohos increased from 171,956 cases to 332,422 cases, or 93 per cent, and pinks increased from 2,571,657 cases to 3,188,534 cases, or 24 per cent; while chums decreased from 864,512 cases to 599,934, or about 31 per cent; kings from 72,107 cases to 59,922, or 17 per cent; and reds from 1,689,927 cases to 851,514 cases, or about 50 per cent. Data are included in the following tables to show comparison of the 1930 pack with the average for the five preceding years, 1925 to 1929, by cases of each species and by districts. Three species—cohos, pinks, and kings—show a gain in 1930 over the 5-year average, while chums and reds show a decline. By districts, the pack in southeastern Alaska increased 24 per cent, while in central and western Alaska there were decreases of 5 per cent and 61 per cent, respectively, making a net decrease for all of Alaska of nearly 4 per cent from the 5-year average. For the first time in Alaska, a pack of salmon in quarter-pound cans was prepared at one of the plants in the southeastern district. The pack consisted of approximately 2,000 cases each of reds and cohos, and 6,000 cases of pinks, each case containing 36 cans. In the follow- ing tables the pack has been converted to ‘‘standard cases” of 48 1-pound cans to the case.

Where the pack at a given cannery is made up of fish from more than one district, as in the case of that at certain Cordova canneries which pack fish caught both in Prince William Sound and in the Copper River area or at various plants in southeast- ern Alaska which draw for their supply on the catch of more than one district, due segregation has been made in order to credit each district with the pack from salmon caught therein. These districts are de- scribed as follows: WESTERN ALASKA Bristol Bay.—The Bering Sea shore, east and north of the Ugashik River. Port Moller and Herendeen Bay.—Port Moller, Herendeen Bay, and Nelson Lagoon.

MILD CURING Although unusually abundant runs of king and coho salmon augured well for the mild-curing business in 1930, poor market conditions with continued declining prices resulted in the curtailment of operations, especially in the fall season. While there was a decrease of but 2 per cent in the quantity produced, as compared with that of the pre- ceding year, the value showed a decline of 30 per cent. The number of plants operated increased from 17 in 1929 to 20 in 1930. Of these, 18 were in southeastern and 2 in central Alaska. An enumeration of the trolling boats in southeastern Alaska was again undertaken by the bureau, but an unavoidable delay at the beginning of the season prevented a complete census. As it is reported that there were at least as many boats engaged in trolling in 1930 as there were in 1929, it has been deemed advisable to make use herein of the more complete figures obtained in the previous season. Three trollers in southeast Alaska lost theic lives—two by drowning and one by disease—and property losses included the gas boat Eagle, of the Cordova Mildcure Co., and damage to a number of boats that were sunk during a severe gale off Coronation Island, where they had taken shelter. The total production of mild-cured salmon was 4,447,525 pounds valued at $868,722, a decrease of 99,675 pounds in quantity and $373,001 in value as compared with the output of 1929. The pack consisted of 344,450 pounds of cohos and 4,103,075 pounds of kings, or, in units of 800-pound tierces, 430 tierces of cohos and 5,129 tierces of kings.

S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES PICKLING Production of pickled salmon in western Alaska decreased sharply, due to the shortage of red salmon; and this district, which has here- tofore led in the output of the commodity, produced less than one- third as much as central Alaska, where production almost doubled that of 1929, principally because the lack of demand for mild-cured cohos forced the operators to divert most of this species into the pickled product. In southeastern Alaska also the production nearly doubled that of the preceding year, the gain being chiefly in cohos, as in central Alaska, and traceable likewise to the small demand for this species in the mild-cure market. Despite the greatly reduced production in western Alaska the increases in the central and south- eastern districts combined to bring the total output to a higher level than in any year since 1926.

One company, whose chief output was frozen salmon, gave employment to 17 white shoresmen. The total output in 1930 was 6,614,206 pounds valued at $561,848, an increase of 50 per cent in quantity and 31 per cent in value over the production for 1929, when 4,395,169 pounds, valued at $428,618, were prepared. 56 U.

In the fishery of the Yukon, Tanana, and Kuskokwim Rivers, which is carried on principally by natives, 1,590,000 pounds of salmon were dried, valued at $115,020; and in addition 500 pounds of kippered kings, valued at $100, and 456 pounds of beleke from kings, valued at $100, were prepared. In this western district 19 whites and 641 natives engaged in the fishery, and the apparatus used consisted of 264 wheels, 919 gill nets of 12,910 fathoms, 50 row boats and skiffs, and 4 gill-net boats. An operator in the southeastern district put up a small quantity of salmon and steelhead trout smoked and packed in olive oil, giving employment to 2 white shoresmen and 1 Filipino. The output of salmon consisted of 90 cases of cohos and 9 cases of kings packed in ¥-pound flat tins (48 to the case) valued at $891. One of the salmon canneries in that district canned 1,081 cases (forty-eight 1-pound tall cans to the case) of heads and eggs of various species of salmon for dog feed. This was an experimental pack, and whether any similar output will be prepared in the future depends upon the market for the product. Thirty-two cases of fish pudding from chum salmon packed in -pound cans (48 to the case), valued at $160, were pre- pared by one of the canneries in central Alaska. a ee a a SE — ——— EE EE en ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 oe Production of dry-satted, dricd, smoked, and other miscellaneous salmon products in Alaska vn 1930 cree vee Western Alaska Total Product cee z Pounds} Value | Pounds; Value | Pounds Value Pounds | Value Dry-salted: oho; or silver -j.-- 2). 4 19! 200) $2400) Jet oe SES Sets > oh eS k el Eee e 19, 200 $2, 400 Dried: i md %, Ge Woho, or'silver- ~~~ 822 |. does es 328 Do.

WHALES The Port Hobron and Akutan stations of the American Pacific Whaling Co. were again operated in 1930. Seven steam whalers were used, and employment was given to 190 whites, 14 natives, and 2 Japanese—a total of 206, or a decrease of 27 from the number re- ported employed in the industry in the previous year. The total number of whales taken was 355, consisting of 50 finbacks, 191 hump- backs, 78 sulphur bottoms, and 36 sperm whales. ‘This is a decrease of 30 from the number taken in Alaskan waters in 1929. The products of the whale fishery consisted of 816,700 gallons of whale oil, valued at $371,276; 121,150 gallons of sperm oil, valued at $45,431; 815 tons of fertilizer from meat, valued at $40,750; 355 tons of bone fertilizer, valued at $10,650; 37,000 pounds of pickled meat, valued at $1,850; and 5,600 pounds of whalebone, valued at $308—a total value of prcducts of $470,265 and a decrease of 6 per cent from 1929 when produ:;ts were valued at $502,081. CLAMS There was a further upward trend in the output of clams in Alaska in 1930. Operations were carried on chiefly in the Prince William Sound area and at Kukak Bay, although a small pack of butter clams was produced in southeast Alaska, where the work was undertaken in the fall as an experiment. Reports indicate that in some of the more favorable localities razor clams are becoming rather scarce, but there are large areas with an abundance of clams which can be dug only when tides and winds are favorable. This is particularly true with respect to the Kukak Bay region. Two clam diggers in central Alaska lost their lives by drowning. Reported property losses amounted to $430. Employment was given to 283 whites, and the output consisted of 32,802 cases, containing 852,684 pounds, and 100 dozen clams in the 66 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES. shell, with a total value of $241,890—an increase of approximately 21 per cent in quantity and 19 per cent in value over the production in 1929, when 28,001 cases totaling 704,448 pounds, valued at $203,656, were packed.

The grounds fished were near Ficure 5.—Shrimp trawlers, Frederick_Sound, southeast Alaska Wrangell and the surrounding islands and in the general vicinity of Petersburg, extending from Farragut Bay south to the eastern end of Sumner Strait The number of persons engaged in the shrimp fishery was 113, of whom 20 were whites, 54 natives, 22 Japanese, 9 Filipinos, 6 Mexicans, and 2 Chinese. Products consisted of 510,956 pounds of shrimp meat, valued at $210,072, and 2,870 pounds of fresh shrimp in the shell, valued at $431, a total of 513,826 pounds, valued at $210,503. Comparable figures for 1929 show a production of 497,750 pounds of shrimp meat, valued at $200,312. ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 67 CRABS The preparation of crab meat in Alaska was again carried on chiefly by the Northern Sea Food Co., which operated at Petersburg and Cordova. One other operator in the latter place was also engaged in the business. Employment was given to 37 persons, of whom 35 were whites and 2 Filipinos. Products consisted of 87,461 pounds of cold-packed meat, valued at $34,073, and 774 dozen crabs in the shell, valued at $1,324. The total value of products in 1930 was $35,397, as compared with $72,865 in 1929—a decrease of 51 per cent. While the production of crabs was on a small scale in 1930, some exploratory work was done, particularly in the Prince William Sound region, with a view to developing increased operations in the future. JAPANESE VESSELS IN BERING SEA Operations of Japanese floating crab canneries, which have grown phenomenally in the last decade, were extended into Bering Sea in the summer of 1930, when the cannery steamer Tathoku Maru engaged in catching and canning spider crabs in those waters. This vessel, of 7,834 tons, 500 feet in length, and 52 feet beam, was manned by a crew of about 300. It was accompanied by the steam beam trawler Myogi Maru and a number of power launches. The United States Coast Guard cutter Chelan first made contact with the Taihoku Maru on June 30, 1930, when the latter was anchored in 37 fathoms on Baird Bank, 21 miles offshore from Nelson Lagoon on the Alaska Peninsula, in Bering Sea waters at 56° 18’ north latitude, 161° 32’ west longitude. There was no evidence that the vessel was engaged in any fishery activity other than in respect to crab operations. Subsequent contacts by the Chelan and other American vessels were made from time to time during July and August in the same general region off the Alaska Peninsula. It is reported that the Tathoku Maru packed upward of 20,000 cases of crabs in these waters. The Japanese Government vessel Hakuyo Maru also made a trip to Bering Sea in 1930 and on June 26 was anchored in the waters of Dutch Harbor. This vessel is a training ship of the Imperial Fisheries Institute of Tokyo, and is a modern steel vessel of about 2,000 tons, Diesel power, and well equipped with modern appliances. The per- sonnel consisted of 30 in the crew, and there were 10 officers and instructors as well as 32 students aboard. Regular classrooms with tables, benches, and blackboards were located aft and forward on the Hoe deck. There was also machinery for a miniature canning outfit. In addition to the foregoing, the Kokusai Maru, a trawler belonging to the International Fisheries Co. of Tokyo, did some prospecting during the month of August in Bristol Bay, outside a 15-mile limit. The Kokusai Maru, which is 118 feet in length, was equipped with four trawls. When the vessel, en route to Tokyo, entered Dutch Harbor on September 1 to take on a supply of fresh water, it had on board a cargo of approximately 3 tons of salt cod, 300 pounds of crabs, and 30 halibut. 68 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES JAPANESE METHOD OF CANNING SPIDER CRABS The canning of crab meat in Japan had its inception in 1892 near Otaru, in Hokkaido, and has developed rapidly into an important branch of the fishing industry. The establishment of floating canner- ies by the Japanese in 1916 made possible an increased production at a time when the shore canneries began to feel the effect of intensive l-cal fishing which, statistics indicate, would have ended in severe depletion. The fishing areas were greatly extended and the annual output in 1928 had reached about 400,000 cases, as compared with 170,000 cases in the most favorable year of operation by shore canneries. The fishing methods employed by these two types of canneries are essentially the same, but they differ greatly from the methods used for taking crabs on the North American coasts. At the present time the Japanese floating canneries use nets of cotton twine, pre- served by a tanning process, measuring 165 feet along the cork line, 153 feet along the lead line, and 81 feet in depth. The mesh is 18 inches stretched measure. The nets are held up by glass buoys, each 5 inches in diameter, attached to the cork line by manila ropes. The buoy ropes are 30 to 50 per cent longer than the depth of water, thus preventing the net from hanging as a vertical wall in which the crabs would not become entangled. Rocks are used as leads, one sinker being used for each float. The fishing season varies somewhat with the locality, but in general it extends from March to November, and the most favorable months are from April to August. Fishing is carried on at a depth of 20 to 30 fathoms from small boats that accompany the floating canneries. Each boat has a crew of eight men who operate 500 crab nets of the size described. The nets are anchored in gangs or lines of 20 nets attached to each other, the last net being marked with a buoy bearing a colored flag. Net after net is spread until more than 10 miles of sea bottom around a floating cannery may be covered. After two or three days the nets are lifted and the crabs removed. Care is taken to prevent the crabs from being exposed to the sun for any length of time as this is believed to be one of the causes of deterio- ration and discoloration of the meat. The crabs are prepared for canning by first removing the back shell and washing the exposed parts thoroughly. They are then placed in large wire baskets in boiling water for10 to 12 minutes after which they are immediately cooled in salt water. Rapid cooling is said to prevent the crab meat from losing its normal color and later turning black in the can. After cooling, the meat is removed from the legs and body and carefully separated into four grades based upon quality. The best quality crab meat is obtained from the first segment of the legs, and the body meat is considered the poorest in quality. Other grades are obtained from the smaller segments of the legs. The meat is again washed in cold water and all extraneous débris and insufficiently cooked meat removed. The washed product is allowed to dry on trays, each tray containing only one grade of meat. When thoroughly dry it is delivered to the “cutters,” who trim the pieces to fit the cans. From the “cutters” the meat is conveyed in porcelain dishes to the ‘‘hand packers.” EEE EO ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 69 The cans used by the Japanese crab packers are made from either lacquered ‘‘2A charcoal tin”’ or lacquered ‘‘canners’ special coke tin.”’ The insides of the cans are relacquered with a lacquer derived from Japanese cinnabar. The most common can size is the %-pound flat, but the 1-pound can is also used. In accordance with Japanese crab-packing regulations, the meat is wrapped in parchment or paraffin paper to prevent contact with the metal of the container. First quality meat is packed on the bottom, sides and top of the can so that the reddish color is on the outside. Second and third grade meat makes up the balance of the contents. Each can is filled to satisfy a definite required weight. After filling, the tops are put on the cans and clinched loosely. They then pass through a steam exhaust box at a temperature of D19P HF! (100° C.). This requires from 7 to 10 minutes, and as the cans emerge from the exhaust box the tops are sealed. The vacuum obtained in this manner varies between 7 and 10 inches. Processing of crab meat is an operation requiring particular care, as it is said that cooking for too long a time or at too high a tempera- ture is responsible, in part, fora change i in taste and appearance of the meat. J ea fei en indicates that the temperature should not be higher than 221.5° F. (105.3° C.) for 80 minutes for the -pound can or 224.4° F. (106.9° C.) for 80 minutes for the 1-pound can. Upon removal from the retort the cans are washed in warm water and promptly placed in cold water. Large fans complete the cooling process. Prompt cooling, as already stated, helps to prevent changes in flavor and appearance of the product. A comparatively large cannery crew is required because modern machinery plays’a very small part in the present methods of packing the spider crab. It has been estimated that a floating cannery with a daily capacity of 300 cases of 4-pound cans requires an operating crew of 162 men, many of whom are skilled workers. In addition, eight boats, each with a crew of eight fishermen, are required to supply such a plant with the necessary raw material. The rigid inspection of all canned crab intended for export has been responsible for the steady improvement in methods of packing, and consequent improved quality of the product, to which its present popularity is due. TROUT Trout operations in Alaska in 1930 were incidental to other branches of the fishery industry. The products were as follows: Dolly Vardens, 51,688 pounds fresh, valued at $6,762; 21,607 pounds frozen, valued at $2,161; and 250 pounds pickled, valued at $30; steelheads, 10,375 pounds fresh, valued at $1,280; 5,246 pounds frozen, valued at $263; 200 pounds pickled, valued at $20; 7,296 pounds canned, valued at $974; and 1,584 pounds smoked and packed in olive oil, valued at $594. The total production of both species was 98, 246 pounds, valued at $12,084, as against 97,125 pounds, valued at $11,259 in 1929—an 1 increase of approximately 1 per cent in quantity and 7 per cent in value. The greater increase in value was due to the larger output of canned trout this year. 70 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES MISCELLANEOUS FISHERY PRODUCTS Several species of fish of minor commercial importance are taken in small quantities, chiefly in connection with the halibut fishery, and are landed at ports of Alaska and British Columbia and at Seattle. Such products landed in southeastern Alaska in 1930 were as follows: Sablefish, 16,073 pounds fresh, valued at $574; 422,590 pounds frozen, valued at $19, 400; and 10 800 pounds pickled, valued at $540; rock- fishes, 5,876 pounds frozen, valued at $122; flounders, 245,000 pounds fresh, valued at $6,125, and 73,936 pounds frozen, valued at $1,829; “‘lingcod”’, 423 pounds fresh, valued at $13, and 22,403 pounds frozen, valued at $672. In addition, there was an output of 37,720 pounds of fresh smelt valued at $5,281 reported from central Alaska, where three fishermen and eight shoresmen, all whites, were employed in the industry. The fresh flounders shown herein were used in Alaska for mink feed. FUR-SEAL INDUSTRY PRIBILOF ISLANDS GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE WORK In the calendar year 1930, 42,500 fur-seal skins were taken on the Pribilof Islands, of which 34,382 were taken on St. Paul Island and 8,118 on St. George Island. The take on both islands shows an increase of 2,432 over the take in 1929. Of the total number of fur seals killed, 41,409 were 3-year-old males. A suitable number of animals of this age class was reserved to provide for future breeding stock. The care of fox herds was given attention on both islands, and during the 1930-31 season 915 fox skins were obtained. Good progress was made in the construction of new buildings for the natives and for use in connection with general sealing operations. In order to provide better landing facilities on St. Paul Island con- siderable work was done on a new dock at East Landing. Some extension of improved roads was accomplished on both islands. The completion of the new power vessel Penguin and its entry into service in the spring of 1930 was of material advantage in the adminis- tration of the bureau’s sealing activities, which are increasing from year to year. Through the courtesy of the Navy Department the U.S. S. Sirius again transported from Seattle the general annual shipment of supplies required at the Pribilof Islands. "Valuable assistance was rendered also by vessels of the United States Coast Guard, which maintained a patrol of waters frequented by the fur seals and performed other — services in connection with the bureau’s work at the islands. The Canadian and Japanese Governments continued the practice of having their shares of Pribilof Islands fur-seal skins sold by the United States, which results in the payment to them of money instead of the actual delivery of skins. The United States’ share of fur-seal skins taken by the Japanese Government in 1930 was received at St. Louis in January, 1931. TRANSPORTATION OF SUPPLIES Through the cooperation of the Navy Department, the U. S. S. Sirius transported the major portion of the general supplies required for the Pribilof Islands. ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 71 The Sirius sailed from Seattle on July 24, carrying approximately 1,766 tons of general supplies, 1,065 tons of coal, and 550,000 feet of lumber, and arrived at the Pribilofs August 1. The vessel left the islands on August 23 carrying 30,433 fur-seal skins, miscellaneous freight and three passengers for the bureau to Seattle. The bureau’s new power vessel Penguin has been of material advantage in the shipment and transportation of supplies to the islands. The vessel sailed from Seattle on the evening of May 5 on its first voyage to Alaska, carrying 100 tons of cement and 75 tons of general supplies. Her next voyage was made the following month, leaving Seattle June 7 with 10214 tons of salt and 62 tons of general cargo. A shipment of perishable supplies was taken north on the steamship Catherine D and delivered to the Penguin at King Cove on July 10, for transfer to the islands. The fall supplies, consisting chiefly of perishable foodstuffs, were shipped from Seattle on the Penguin on October 6. POWER VESSEL ‘‘PENGUIN’”’ The power vessel Penguin, newest and largest of the bureau’s Alaska vessels, which was launched at Seattle, Wash., on January 8, 1930, left Seattle for the Pribilof Islands on its maiden voyage on May 5, with 175 tons of general cargo and 17 bureau employees, and arrived at the islands on May 16. After landing passengers and cargo and performing some interisland work, the vessel proceeded to Una- laska and thence to Akutan, where seven native workmen were taken aboard for passage to the islands. On the return voyage the Penguin left the Pribilofs on May 22 and arrived at Seattle nine days later on May 31, the passage being by the outside route. On June 7 the Penguin left Seattle on its second journey north, carrying general cargo, 4 members of the bureau’s staff, and 17 Fouke Fur Co. employees to assist with sealing operations. The Pribilofs were reached on June 17 and on the following day the vessel departed on a trip to various points on the Alaska Peninsula to secure native workmen, 11 of whom were landed at the islands on June 27. A ship- ment of 800 sacks of cement was then transferred from St. George Island to St. Paul Island. During the first half of July a trip was made to King Cove to transfer passengers, mail, and perishable supplies that had been brought north on the steamship Catherine D. The re- mainder of the month was spent in interisland transportation and assisting in the computation of the fur-seal herd. The Penguin sailed from the Pribilofs on July 31 with passengers (Fouke Fur Co. men and bureau employees) and 160 barrels of fur-seal skins and reached Seattle on August 12, where it was tied up at Lake Union for the remainder of the month for minor repairs and general cleaning. From September 6 to September 26 the Penguin was on a trip to southeast Alaska assisting with the gathering of data on the salmon - escapement in the Ketchikan district. On October 6 the Penguin sailed from Seattle for the Pribilofs via Ketchikan and Unalaska, arriving at St. George Island on October 17. An operator for the St. Paul Island radio station and his wife and child were passengers on the vessel, as were also three members of families of bureau em- ployees stationed at the islands. Transportation work between the islands and Unalaska was then undertaken and on October 25 the vessel departed for Seattle, stopping en route at a number of villages ae U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES along the Alaska Peninsula to return native workmen to their homes. A stop was made also at Cordova in order to land the ship’s cook for hospital care. Seattle was reached on November 7. The Penguin sailed from Seattle on December 8, via Ketchikan, Juneau, and Seward, and reached its headquarters at Unalaska on December 29. Cold and stormy weather during the latter part of the voyage necessitated taking shelter in several harbors to ride out the gale and to clear the ship of accumulated ice. On this first encounter with particularly severe weather conditions, the vessel performed remarkably well. During the year the Pengwin traveled 20,621 nautical miles. ROADS St. Paul Island.—In the spring, when weather permitted, the entire Big Lake Road was graded, making an excellent water-level road for tractors. It is possible to drive trucks easily over scoria-surfaced roads as far as Big Lake, but the sandy nature of the area between Big Lake and Northeast Point precludes any possibility of driving trucks beyond Big Lake until the roadway has been surfaced. A sufficient amount of road lumber for this purpose is now on hand and has been distributed at strategic points along the roadway. One- half mile of road was built between Big Lake and Northeast Point during June, and the power shovel was employed along the road during July, August, September, and October. Considerable road lumber was hauled from the village to various points along the road- way during the year. A side road, about three-fourths of a mile in length, to a scoria deposit in Polovina Hill was constructed. St. George Island.—During the brief period between the time when the ground became sufficiently thawed to permit operations and the beginning of the sealing season, a considerable amount of work was done on the road to North Rookery, grading the road and digging drainage ditches which are very necessary on account of the swampy character of the terrain. In the fall after sealing operations were finished, 700 feet of the North Rookery road was surfaced with plank, which had been shipped to St. George Island the previous fall for this purpose. BUILDINGS St. Paul Island.—The new schoolhouse, started last season, was completed and ready for occupancy by the beginning of the school year. The main floor consists of two large, airy, and well-lighted class- rooms and the basement is divided, one side being for the use of the boys and the other side for the use of the girls. The boys’ side is being equipped for manual-training work; practical carpentry, electric wiring, painting, and other trades will be taught. The girls’ side has been equipped to represent a model kitchen in which sewing or cooking classes will be held each afternoon. Connecting with the main rooms on each side of the building are dressing rooms and showers which are used twice a week by all the children. A building, 32 by 74 feet, to house the electrical plant and cold storage was completed with the exception of laying cement floor in a portion of the engine room. In one end of the building are three cold-storage rooms, of which the center room will be used for freezing and the other two for storage of meat. Another room contains the compressor and engine for the cold-storage plant—a 25-horsepower — er we — ee 73 ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 BYSeLY ‘PULIST [Neg “49 UO ssvI[IA—9 ANNI 74.

Theotherroom willcontain theleleotridel power plant purchased this season, consisting of two Washington- Estep full-Diesel engines of 135 brake-horsepower each, and two 85 kilowatt, 105 kilovolt-ampere, 3-phase, 60-cycle, 480-volt, alter- nating-current, direct-connected alternators. The two engines and alternators have been placed upon foundations, and it is expected that the remainder of the equipment will be connected during the winter. This power plant will be used to operate motors which will eventually replace all the various stationary, internal-combustion engines operated in the village. A 43 by 74 foot extension was added to the sealskin washhouse to be used for the blubbering of sealskins; and the foundation was laid for an additional washhouse which will provide space for handling increased takes of sealskins. The outside and part of the inside work of a new hospital, size 28 by 40 feet, was completed, and it is reported that the inside work will be entirely finished in the winter of 1930-31. In the past there have been no facilities for the unloading of lighters and small boats which were usable at ebb tide, and the principal landing on the west side of the island has of recent years become so congested with rocks, sand, and silt that, especially after storms, which wash the débris into the channel, operations at any stage of the tide have been problematical. To cope with this difficulty, a new dock on the opposite side of the island at the so-called Kast Landing was undertaken and partly completed. When finished it will be 50 feet wide and 140 feet long, extending out from the shore a sufficient distance to permit unloading at any stage of the tide. Extreme difficulties were encountered in the construction work, the forms for concrete having been washed out time after time so that it was impos- sible to complete the dock before arrival of the annual supply ship. At this time it had been built out 80 feet and, when temporarily filled and covered, greatly facilitated the discharging of cargo. Com- pletion during the spring of 1931 is anticipated. St. George Island.—The six native cottages begun in 1929, two of which contain 5 rooms, two 4 rooms, and two 3 rooms, were completed during the year. A new salt house, 34 by 100 feet, containing eight 10 by 20 foot kenches for the salting of sealskins, was constructed. For the accommodation of unmarried employees and transients, a new building, size 30 by 56 feet, was erected. This building, located on a hillside, has an open basement in which are the dining room, kitchen, and cook’s quarters. The main floor contains three bed- rooms, a bathroom, and a library, and the upper floor also has three bedrooms and a bathroom. The inside work will be completed during the winter. BY-PRODUCTS PLANT The old by-products plant was not operated in 1930. A special appropriation became available so that this establishment could be modernized and enlarged. Accordingly, machinery and building nie were purchased and sent to St. Paul Island in the summer of 1930. ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 75 The new machinery is of the kind now finding increased favor with the meat-packing industry. The type of reduction accomplished with the equipment is known as ‘‘dry rendering.’”’ By this process chopped seal carcasses will be cooked and dried in one operation and the fat which is fried from the flesh tissue will be removed from the dried material in high-pressure extraction equipment. The new cooker- dryers, four in number, are well-designed steam-jacketed fat melters of the batch type, so designed as to permit operation either under pressure or under vacuum. Lach cooker will be driven by an electric motor. The pressure extraction equipment consists of two high- pressure hydraulic presses. These presses are of rugged design and should give efficient and dependable service, a prerequisite of any machinery to be used in an isolated location. The estimated capacity of the new equipment is approximately 40,000 pounds of seal carcasses per day of 8 hours. On this basis about 40,000 seal carcasses can be handled by one working shift during a sealing season. In addition, the old plant will be available for use also. ‘This equipment is admirable for rendering blubber and can be used if necessary when peaks in killings occur. In order to house the new machinery an extension 75 by 45 feet was made to the building housing the old by-products machinery. To this extension a separate room 40 by 37 feet was added for the new boilers which were needed as replacements and were necessary to meet the greater requirements of the new machinery. Foundations were laid for a new building for the storage of oil, and the structure is to be completed in the spring of 1931. The new cookers, presses, and boilers have been set up and consid- erable auxiliary equipment has been installed, including the new Diesel-driven generator set for supplying light and power to the island. It is anticipated that unless some unforeseen difficulty arises the new establishment will be ready to operate in the season of 1931. NATIVES CENSUS The annual census, taken as of December 31, 1930, showed 222 native residents on St. Paul Island. In addition, one St. Paul native, formerly enrolled at the Salem Indian School, Chemawa, Oreg., was in the States, and 10 were elsewhere, making a total of 233 accred- ited to the island. Two natives were recorded as having permanently left the island and five, from St. George Island, as having become permanent residents of St. Paul Island. One native who was re- ported as temporarily absent at the close of 1929 has been dropped from the census list, as there is little likelihood of his returning to the island. During the year there were 11 births and 4 deaths among the natives, including the death of one who was temporarily absent from the island. On St. George Island there were 142 native residents as of December 31, 1930. Five natives left the island and became permanent resi- dents of St. Paul Island and one St. Paul Island native became a permanent resident of St. George Island. ‘There were seven births and five deaths during the year. The total number accredited to both islands on December 31, 1930, was 375, a net increase of seven over the figures for the preceding year. 76 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES MEDICAL SERVICES . For the benefit of the native population and Government employees and their families at the Pribilof Islands, medical care is provided by the bureau. One physician was stationed at St. Paul Island and another at St. George Island throughout the year. Health conditions, in general, were eood on both islands. SCHOOLS Schools for the native children were maintained on both St. Paul and St. George Islands. Two regular teachers were employed on St. Paul Island and one regular and one temporary teacher on St. George Island. St. Paul Island.—The 1929-30 school year began September 9, 1929, and closed May 29, 1930. There were 32 pupils enrolled in the junior and 30 in the senior school, a total of 62 pupils. St. George Island—The school opened on September 23, 1929, and closed May 30, 1930. In the senior school 9 boys and 18 girls were seene and in the junior school 8 boys and 9 girls, a total of 39 pupils. ATTENDANCE AT SALEM INDIAN SCHOOL, CHEMAWA, OREG. The three children (Mariamna Merculieff, Kleopatra Krukoff, and Abraham 8S. Merculieff) who were enrolled at the Salem Indian School, Chemawa, Oreg., at the beginning of 1930 returned to the Pribilof Islands in July. They were passengers from Seattle on the U.S. S. Sirius when it transported the annual shipment of general supplies to the islands. There have been no new enrollments of Pribilof natives at this school since 1926, as it is now the policy not to accept pupils from Alaska at Chemawa, save in exceptional cases. SAVINGS ACCOUNTS The Commissioner of Fisheries as in previous years had in his custody certain funds of a number of the Pribilof Islands natives. He also held funds belonging to the native church on St. Pau! Island. These funds were kept on deposit in the Washington Loan and Trust Co., Washington, D.C. Interest at the rate of 3 per cent per annum was calculated on monthly balances and credited semiannually. The accounts of two natives were closed during the year.

The payments are made in cash and are distributed among the men and boys taking part in the work in accordance with the rated ability and skill of each. The persons entitled to this compensation are divided into classes, the individuals in each class receiving equal amounts. In addition, small bonuses in cash are allowed for special work in connection with the sealing operations. Payments were made as shown below: St. Paul Island.—For the 34,382 skins taken on St. Paul Island the sum of $25,786.50 was paid and in addition a total of $100 was allowed two foremen for special services and $50 for a cook.

For the season of 1929-30 these payments amounted to $1,120 for the 224 skins taken on St. Paul Island and $2,755 for the 553 skins taken on St. George Island, a total of $3,875. No payment was made for two of the skins taken on St. George Island, due to a miscount of the total take, which was not discovered until the skins were being packed for shipment in May. FUR SEALS OF PRIBILOF ISLANDS NATURAL HISTORY The American fur-seal herd, numbering more than three-fourths of all the fur seals in the world, makes its summer home on the Pribilof Islands near the center of Bering Sea. The herd has its breeding grounds on these islands. First to arrive in the late spring are the adult males, who take up definite positions on the beach, usually 75 to 100 feet apart, and await the coming of the females, who arrive shortly, heavy with young. Each female apparently affiliates with the adult male nearest the point of her arrival. He guards the females jealously, with his life if need be, until after the birth of the young, which usually occurs within a few days following the arrival of the female. Fur seals are highly polygamous, each male mating with sometimes as many as 60 or more females. The immature males, or ‘‘bachelors,” from 2 to 5 or 6 years of age, also come to the islands during the breeding season, and congregate on areas adjacent to but separate from the breeding grounds. The combativeness and superior size of the adult males, who attain full growth at the age of 7 or 8 years, prevent the younger males from entering ‘‘rookeries,’”’ as the breeding areas are designated. From the fact that fur seals are apparently born in equal numbers as to sex and yet breed polygamously, it is obvious that the large sur- plus of males can be taken for fur without detriment to the proper growth of the herd. Killings are confined chiefly to 3-year-old males. Great care is taken to mark by clipping a patch of fur and to set aside a sufficient number of males to form an adequate breeding reserve. 79 ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 BYSLLY ‘SPULIS] JO[Iqg 38 s[ees Ing— *) TANS T 6 63315—31 80 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES The natural segregation of the young males is of material aid in driving the seals to the killing field. A few of the native workmen can run between the area which the seals occupy and the sea, and easily drive them further inland like sheep without disturbing those occupying the breeding grounds. There is a great difference in the size of the adult males and the adult females, the full-grown male reaching a maximum weight of about 700 pounds, while the females weigh from 75 to 100 pounds. This disparity in size is of great advantage to the male in maintaining discipline over his flock. The females give birth to their first young at the age of 3 years, the period of gestation being between 11 and 12 months. The nomenclature used in respect to these animals is rather unusual, most of the names being literal translations of the Russian and native names. The adult males are called ‘‘bulls”; the adult females, “cows”; the young, ‘‘pups”’; and the male seals midway in age between pups and bulls are called ‘‘bachelors.’’ Each bull’s collec- tion of females is called a “harem.” When the breeding season ends at the Pribilofs, the seals gradually take to the water, where they remain until returning to the islands in the following year. While at sea they migrate southward through the passes of the Aleutian Islands, thence southeastward along the coast of North America. The females go as far south as the latitude of Southern California, the younger males do not proceed so far, while the adult males winter in the Gulf of Alaska and south of the Aleutian chain from whence, in the spring, the annual cycle of migration is resumed. QUOTAS FOR KILLING AND RESERVING The plans approved by the department for sealing operations in 1930 provided for reserving 8,000 3-year-old male fur seals for future breeding stock and killing as many of the remaining 3-year-old males as were available. The animals for the reserve were to be selected in approximately the ratio of 4 on St. Paul Island to 1 on St. George Island and were to be marked so as to insure their immunity from slaughter throughout the period of sealing operations. Provision was made for increasing the reserve if counts of the idle and harem bulls in the breeding season indicated the advisability of such action. Inas- much as some of the 3-year-old males are never taken up in either the killing drives or the drives for marking reserves, the number of animals remaining for the reserve is always greater than the number marked. KILLINGS In 1930, 42,500 fur seals were killed, of which 34,382 were taken on St. Paul Island and 8,118 on St. George Island. The fall killings have been discontinued.

The classification was derived from the measurements of a large number of pups branded in 1912 and killed in subsequent years.

It should be stated that some of the seals recorded in the above tabulation as 2-year-olds or 4-year-olds probably were 3-year-olds. Not all the male seals of a given age fall within the length limits assigned for the males of that age. As far as possible the killings in 1930 were confined to 3-year-old males. RESERVING OPERATIONS The marking of 3-year-old male seals by shearing a patch of fur from their scalps was continued in 1930 in order to provide for the future breeding stock. This mark retains its prominence during and for some time subsequent to the killing season. Since the killing of fur seals at the Pribilof Islands is confined as far as possible to 3-year-old males, this method of marking insures protection during their third year, which is the only time in their whole life when the seals are subject to killing. During the year, 4,918 3-year-old males were marked on St. Paul Island and 1,621 on St. George Island, a total of 6,539. Reserving operations were interrupted by the arrival of the supply ship and when examination of the grounds was again made the harems had already commenced to break up and there were so many cows and pups mingled with the bachelor seals that it was thought advisable to discontinue marking. Large numbers of unmarked 3-year-old males were observed on all the hauling grounds at that time, assuring an ample reserve for future breeding requirements. ———— Oe Ee ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 83 Marking of 3-year-old male fur seals for breeding reserve, Pribilof Islands, 1930 ST.

H. J. Christoffers, who was assisted by A. Christoffer- sen, A. J. Messner, and C. M. Hoverson. As of August 10 the total of all classes was 1,045,101—a numerical increase of 73,574 and a percentage increase of 7.57 over the figures for the preceding year. The detailed report will be found on pages 100 to 108 of this document. Following is a comparative statement of the numerical strength of the various elements of the fur-seal herd in the years 1919 to 1930, inclusive.

Throughout the summer the animals find an abundance of natural food, consisting of fur-seal carcasses, birds’ eggs, and marine life along the beaches. In the winter season they are fed preserved seal meat and prepared rations. Cap- tures are made at that time for obtaining pelts or for marking and releasing the animals for breeding stock. The natives perform this work under the direction of the bureau’s resident staff and receive $5 for each fox skin taken. The skins are shipped to the Fouke Fur Co. at St. Louis, Mo., where they are sold at public auction for Govern- ment account. ; TRAPPING SEASON OF 1930-31 During the season of 1930-31 there were taken 915 fox pelts, of which 889 were blue and 26 white. Two hundred and eleven blue and 24 white pelts were taken on St. Paul Island, and 678 blue and 2 white pelts on St. George Island. There were also trapped, marked, and released for breeding purposes 50 foxes on St. Paul Island and 313 on St. George Island. The breeding reserve includes, in addition, a considerable number of animals that were not captured during the season. REINDEER St. Paul Island.—During the year ended September 30, 1930, 17 reindeer were killed and used for food. A count of the animals in the herd on September 29 showed a total of 404, of which 70 were the young of the season. The herd was reported to be in good condition. St. George Island.—No reindeer were killed for food during the year ended September 30, 1930. A count made on October 3 showed 51 animals in the herd, of which 13 were young of the ‘season. FUR-SEAL SKINS SHIPMENTS Two shipments of fur-seal skins were made from the Pribilof Islands in the calendar year 1930. They consisted of 43,300 skins, as follows: From St. Paul Island, 500 taken in 1929 and 34,382 taken in 1930; from St. George Island, 300 taken in 1929 and 8,118 taken a eee ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 85 in 1930. The first shipment, 12,867 skins from St. Paul Island, went forward on the Penguin on July 31. The remaining skins, consisting of 22,015 taken on St. Paul Island and 8,418 taken on St. George Island, were shipped on the U.S. 5. Sirius, which left the islands on August 23. The Penguin reached Seattle on August 12 and the Sirius on “August 30, and the skins were forwarded immediately by rail to the department’ s selling agents at St. Louis, Mo. SALES In 1930 a total of 34,127 fur-seal skins taken on the Pribilof Islands were sold at two public auction sales held at St. Louis. There were also sold through special sales 348 fur-seal skins taken on those islands. With the following detailed statements of these sales, the sales of other fur-seal skins by the Department of Commerce for the FIGURE 8.—Processing Alaska fur-seal skins at St. Louis, M 0. account of the Government are included in order that the records may be complete.

The Snohomish began to patrol off the mouth of Columbia River on April 5 and covered the area as far north as Dixon Entrance until May 18. The Unalga patrolled from Dixon Entrance northward and westward to Unalaska and then took part in the general patrol in the Bering Sea region. The Haida and Chelan sailed from Seattle for Unalaska in April and June, respectively, patrolling en route and thereafter maintaining the patrol in Bering Sea and around the Pribilof Islands. While on its annual trip to the Arctic Ocean from San Francisco the Northland patrolled waters frequented by the fur seals. The season’s patrol extended as far westward as Attu, the westernmost island of the Aleutian chain, and was prosecuted as long as the circumstances required. BUREAU OF FISHERIES From the early part of April until the end of May the Brant patrolled the waters in the vicinity of Cape Flattery. Supplementing the patrol work by keeping a check on the native hunters when leaving and returning to land, a representative of the Bureau of Fisheries was stationed at La Push to enforce the regulations with respect to pro- hibition of the use of firearms and motors in connection with the taking of fur-seal skins. The Petrel was engaged in seal patrol in the vicinity of Sitka in April and May. SEALING PRIVILEGES ACCORDED ABORIGINES The North Pacific Sealing Convention of July 7, 1911, provides that Indians and other aborigines dwelling on the coasts of the waters designated by the convention may take fur-seal skins under limited conditions. During the year 1930 there were taken and duly authen- ticated by officials of the respective Governments 2,832 fur-seal skins, of which 535 were taken by Indians under the jurisdiction of the United States and 2,297 by Indians of Canada. Reports have also been received of the authentication of 101 additional skins, 17 from male and 84 from female fur seals, taken in 1929 by Indians of the State of Washington. ‘These, together with the number previously reported make a total of 1,687 skins taken in that year by Indians under the jurisdiction of the United States. The details for 1930 are as follows: Washington.—A total of 450 skins taken by the Indians of Washing- ton were authenticated. Of these, 131 were from male seals and 319 from females. The skins were taken by Indians of La Push and Neah Bay and in the months from January to July, bothinclusive. Dr. Carl B. Boyd, superintendent of the Neah Bay Indian Agency, Neah Bay, Wash., authenticated the skins. Alaska. —Kighty-five skins taken by natives of Sitka were authen- ticated by bureau employees, Assistant Agent M. J. O’Connor and Warden Harry A. Pryde. Of these skins, 29 were reported to be from male seals, 31 from females, and 25 ‘from unborn pups. The 100 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES seals from which the skins were secured were taken in waters off Biorka Island in the month of May. British Columbia.—An official report received by the bureau stated that a total of 2,297 fur-seal skins were taken by the local Indians off the British Columbia coast during 1930. JAPANESE SEALSKINS DELIVERED TO THE UNITED STATES The North Pacific Sealing Convention of July 7, 1911, provides that 10 per cent of the fur-seal skins taken annually upon Robben Island or any other islands or shores of waters defined by the con- vention subject to the jurisdiction of Japan shall be turned over to the United States Government unless the number of seals frequenting the Japanese islands falls below 6,500, enumerated by official count. The United States Government’s share of fur-seal skins taken by the Japanese Government in 1930 was 172. They were received by the department’s selling agents at St. Louis, Mo., in January, 1931. INTERNATIONAL FUR-TRADE EXHIBITION AT LEIPZIG A joint resolution of Congress, approved by the President on March 21, 1930, provided for participation by the United States in the International Fur-Trade Exhibition at Leipzig, Germany, from May 31 to September 30, 1930. The Departments of Agriculture and Commerce cooperated in the preparation of exhibit material, that of the latter department having to do principally with the fur- seal resources of the Pribilof Islands. The showing of the Bureau of Biological Survey featured the constructive efforts of that organiza- tion along the line of conserving the country’s fur resources. The display of the United States was primarily educational in character. Among the items assembled by the Bureau of Fisheries were a group of mounted fur seals, a number of dyed fur-seal skins in the standard black and logwood-brown colors, blue-fox and white-fox pelts, mounted blue foxes, and two coats made from Pribilof Islands seal- skins. Illuminated transparencies and other pictures of the bureau’s fur-seal and foxing activities were shown. There was also an interest- ing portrayal of what has been accomplished since 1911 by inter- suene cooperation in saving and rebuilding the fur-seal herd of aska. All matters in respect to the preparation and installation of the entire exhibit were admirably handled by the Office of Exhibits, Department of Agriculture. Edward M. Ball, of the bureau’s staff, was detailed to that organization and was at Leipzig throughout the exhibition. COMPUTATION OF FUR SEALS, PRIBILOF ISLANDS, 1930 By Harry J. CHRISTOFFERS The large number of surplus bulls observed on hauling grounds, the favorable ratio of idle to harem bulls, the increased number of 3-year-olds available for killing, and the large number of 2 and 3 year olds observed after the cessation of commercial operations, when considered as a whole, indicate that the seal herd of the Pribilof Islands is in a very satisfactory condition. During the summer sealing season of 1929 there were killed at the Pribilof Islands 38,079 3-year-old male seals. This was an increase ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 101 of approximately 33 per cent over the previous season. Some ques- tion arose, therefore, as to whether this was an extremely favorable year due to less severe conditions at sea, causing a lower mortality rate for that particular generation of seals, or whether it was due to a natural recovery on account of a larger branded reserve. It was felt by many that it would not be possible to equal or at least to exceed the killings of 1929 during 1930. Applying an average rate of in- crease of 8 per cent to the number of 3-year-old males killed and to the estimated reserve in 1929 would make 41,123 killable 3-year-old male seals and 14,730 of the same class to be reserved in 1930. There were actually killed at the Pribilof Islands during the summer sealing season of 1930, 41,409 3-year-old males. In addition there were marked and reserved for breeding purposes 6,539 3-year-old males, making a total of 47,948 3-year-old males actually handled out of the estimated total of 56,280 credited to the islands. This makes an actual estimated reserve of 14,871 to be compared with 14,730, the number needed to provide an increase of 8 per cent over the previous season’s estimated requirements. The 3-year-old male seals were comparatively slow in appearing this season, but arrived in larger numbers than usual toward the end of the season. A great many unmarked 3-year-olds were observed on the hauling grounds after killing and reserving operations had been discontinued. It was, therefore, evident that a (Sufficient number of animals had been reserved to amply take care of breeding require- ments. BULLS A census of harem and idle bulis was taken on St. Paul Island between July 15 and July 20, inclusive, and on St. George Island between Juty 21 and July 24, inclusive. On St. George Island, A. J. Messner and C. M. Hoverson counted Zapadni and South rookeries. All other reokeries, on both islands, were counted simultaneously by A. Christoffersen and the writer. A double check of the number of animals on each rookery was therefore secured, thus minimizing the possibility of error. It was again impossible to count Sivutch rookery on Sea Lion Rock. To continue indefinitely to increase the number of harems, and to continue to apply the average rate of increase for cows and pups will, in time, result in crediting to this rookery a much greater number of animals than could possibly crowd into such a small area. The surplus bulls, cows, and pups which would normally be credited to this area must of necessity move to other rookeries. For the present, or until weather conditions permit an actual count, it seems best to continue this method rather than to spread the increase over the various rookeries on St. Paul Island; though this may, in time, show too great a number of animals on Sivutch, it will not change the proportionate increase in the total number of animals in the herd. On South rookery, St. George Island, the number of harems con- tinued to increase to such an extent that even though the number of cows increased at the normal rate the average harem for this rookery has been reduced to 6.41. As a matter of fact, the number of cows on this rookery has increased at a much oreater rate than 8 per cent, even though this figure still applies to the increase of the herd as a whole. South rookery has apparently increased at the expense of all other rookeries on St. George Island. 102 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Though there was an expansion of harem areas this season, it was not to such a great extent as during the previous two years. Instead there was a considerable increase in the number of harems in the areas previously occupied. The seals prefer to huddle together as thickly as possible until it is absolutely necessary to move farther back from the more densely populated portions of the rookery. It is very noticeable that there is less fighting and less viciousness among the bulls in densely populated areas. The bulls in these areas pay comparatively little attention to the cows, while the bulls on sparsely populated areas or in places where there is a single small harem are continually worrying the cows. A harem on the edge of Ardiguen rookery, considerably separated from the main harem area, contained seven cows all badly mutilated by the bull to such an extent that it was doubtful whether four of the cows would survive. To a more or less extent this is true of all single harems or in sparsely populated areas. It is surprising how little serious fighting actually occurs in thickly populated areas. With a large number of idle and surplus bulls it would seem that considerable serious fighting would occur. There is the usual amount of bullying, but in proportion to the number of animals present there is no more serious fighting with the present number of idle bulls than accurred when there was an actual shortage of bulls. There is com- paratively no more fighting on rookeries where there is a surplus of bulls than occurs on rookeries where there is a shortage of bulls. In the early part of the season there is a surplus of bulls attached to each rookery. All of these idle bulls do not, however, go on the rookeries proper and take positions at the same time. Sufficient numbers, however, assume positions to take care of the early onrush of cows. Later, as the early populated portions fill up and the rook- ery area expands, more and more of the surplus bulls will attach themselves to a rookery and become idle and then harem bulls. These surplus and idle bulls do not cause any particular trouble to the harem bulls. They seem to know that the harem areas will later expand sufficiently to provide for their wants. Surplus bulls do, however, wander continuously from one rookery to another or from one portion of a rookery to another looking for favorabie positions. If there are a number of idle bulls between them and the harems, they find what appears to be a favorable place near a bull that has accum- ulated a harem. It is interesting to note that even during the time when the bull census is taken, there is a large number of robust, husky older bulls on the hauling grounds while good-sized harems are held by con- siderably younger bulls. Now and then, one will see a small, pug- nacious 7 or 8 year old bull holding a good-sized harem. During the period when the census was taken, a number of iron- branded 10-year-old bulls (branded 1923) were still to be found among the surplus bulls on the hauling grounds. The lprge number of surplus bulls appearing on hauling grounds during the period when the census of bulls was taken, indicated that the herd is in an extremely healthful condition and that ample males have been reserved for breeding purposes. These bulls are required to take care of the virgin cows. It might appear to the casual observer that more have been reserved than necessary, but when it is considered that approximately 72,000 virgin females were due at the islands this ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 103 season, it is felt that the number of surplus bulls on hand is not more than required. The harem bulls which have been on duty from the beginning of the season should not be considered as available for this purpose. At best it is not desirable to depend on the harem bulls as being virile at this late date. The surplus bulls, without a doubt, cause considerable trouble in drives, especially during the first half of the season, but they must be considered as a necessary evil. If the surplus bulls are on hand, the older harem bulls will retire at the proper time; if the surplus bulls are not on hand, the harem bulls will continue to attempt to take care of virgins and late-arriving females long after they have become exhausted through the long vigils of harem life. They are then not in condition to move about as actively as the surplus bulls which are still in good physical condition. During the breeding period, the cows all go on the rookeries to have their pups, but the virgins are just as likely to haul out and be bred on a hauling ground as on arookery. ‘Therefore it is necessary for the bulls taking care of the virgins to continually move around over a large area while the harem bull maintains vigil over a very small area.

This very satisfactory decrease for 104. U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES St. George Island now brings the average harem for both islands down to what most authorities consider approximately the correct figure. It is hoped that this condition will remain about constant. Knowing the number of harems, the average size of each has been determined on the basis of an average increase of 8 per cent for cows. The increase for each particular rookery will vary considerably from year to year, but the average rate of increase for the islands as a whole will remain about constant. The average increase and the average harem for each rookery may therefore vary considerably from year to year and may be far from correct for any given rookery, but will be about right for all the rookeries on both islands. A sharp increase or decrease in the number of harems on any given rookery will be compensated for by a sharp decrease or increase on the other rookeries.

The large number of seals on the rookeries made it impracticable to continue making a pup count on all rookeries there- after. The average rate of increase as determined from the before-. mentioned counts has therefore been used continuously since 1923. Pup counts could still be made on the smaller rookeries; but as there are innumerable factors which enter into a varying increase or decrease of any particular rookery but which do not prevent the average increase of the herd as a whole, it would be extremely confusing to ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1930 105 make pup counts of the smaller rookeries only. It is also a well- known fact that densely populated rookeries increase faster than those sparsely populated and that the rookery or island on which a seal is born has no bearing on the place it may haul out thereafter. It is also true that the rate of increase varies considerably from year to year, so the average rate of increase must be based on the total increase over a term of years. The number of dead pups can also only be estimated, and the per- centage found in the count of 1922 therefore has been applied to each rookery. For comparative purposes it is necessary to include the estimated number of dead pups in the total number of pups. By inference, the number of cows is the same as the number of pups, as a female seal gives birth to but one pup each year. On Polovina rookery there was observed a cow bearing a brand of the 1912 series. In that year some 5,000 pups, male and female, had been marked with a hot iron shaped like the letter T and applied to the top of the head.

As its name indicates, this division of the bureau is concerned with the activities and welfare of the fishery industries, including the commercial fisheries, the trade in fishery products, and ! Appendix II to the Report of the U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries: 1931. June 8, 1931. 109 Approved for publication, 110 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES the fish canning and preserving industries. . Its functions are the collection and publication of fishery statistics, the conducting of market surveys, the prosecution of research designed to solve the technical problems of the industry, and the dissemination of authori- tative and practical information to the fishery industries and the public. Results of technological investigations and marketing studies are published in separate documents as each project is completed. The information obtained from statistical surveys is published in Part 2 of this report, which includes all the detailed statistical infor- mation that has become available since the issuance of the previous report,” together with such summarized statements and interpreta- tions of the statistics as are deemed significant and useful. There is included a summary of the catch of fishery products in the United States for the half century from 1880 to 1929. In the preparation of this report numerous members of the division’s staff have taken part and their assistance is appreciatively acknowledged. Part 1. OPERATIONS OF THE DIVISION COLLECTION OF STATISTICS The statistical work of the division in 1930, as in former years, included the collection and dissemination of statistics on the catch of fishery products and the gear employed in making the catch and statistics of related fishery industries. In the former group are those statistics that are intended for the use of the fishery biologist, upon which to base conservation measures. They are also valuable for economic purposes. ‘This is especially true of statistics for the land- ings of fish at principal fishing ports, which are published monthly. In the second group are statistics that are of use mainly for economic or trade purposes. These include statistics of the manufactured fishery products and by-products of the United States, cold-storage holdings of fish and amounts of fish frozen in the United States, marine-animal oil production, and similar statistics. During 1930 unusual progress was made in the collection of sta- tistics of the catch of fishery products in the United States. This has been occasioned by greater cooperation with State fishery agencies and by the extended use of automobiles by agents, which has enabled them to canvass a larger territory than was formerly the case when travel was performed mainly by train. As a result, catch statistics for 1929 were obtained of the fisheries in our New England, Middle Atlantic, Chesapeake Bay, South Atlantic, Gulf, Pacific Coast, and Great Lakes States. Continuous annual catch statistics are now available for the Great Lake States from 1913, Pacific Coast States from 1922, South Atlantic and Gulf States from 1927, New England States from 1928, Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake Bay States starting with 1929 (as it is now planned to canvass the latter States annually), and the State of Connecticut from 1924. Catch statistics are now available on each geographical section for 1929 except for the Mississippi River area and its tributaries. The latest complete statistics for this section are for 1922. However, annual canvasses are made here for the catch of fresh-water mussels, and also for the 2 Fishery Industries of the United States, 1929. By R. H.

In addition to the general catch statistics, the collection and (or) publication of statistics on special subjects was continued during 1930, as follows: The landings of fish by American fishing vessels at the ports of Boston and Gloucester, Mass., Portland, Me., and Seattle, Wash.; landings of halibut at North Pacific coast ports (published monthly, and annual bulletins summarizing these landings for the year); catch of mackerel in the North Atlantic fishery; cold-storage holdings of frozen and cured fish and amount of fish frozen, which are furnished by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics (published monthly); production, consumption, and holdings of marine-animal oils of the United States and Alaska (published quarterly by the Bureau of the Census); production of manufactured fishery products and by-products of the United States and Alaska during 1930; the catch of shad in the Potomac and Hudson Rivers and the catch of alewives in the Potomac River during 1930; transactions on the sponge exchange at Tarpon Springs, Fla., during 1930; volume of fishery products handled at the municipal fish wharf and market, Washing- ton, D. C., during 1930; and the volume of United States imports and exports of fishery products during 1930, furnished by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. CATCH ANALYSIS—COLUMBIA RIVER CHINOOK SALMON FISHERY The analysis of the Chinook salmon catch records of individual fishermen on the Columbia River, which is being conducted to deter- mine the catch per constant unit of effort and gear during the years from 1909 to 1930, inclusive, was carried on as outlined in last year’s report of the Division of Fishery Industries, ‘“‘Fishery Industries of the United States, 1929” by R. H. Fiedler, Appendix XIV to the Report of the United States Commissioner of Fisheries for 1930, pp. 705-1068, Bureau of Fisheries Document No. 1095. The purpose of this investigation is to determine a satisfactory index of relative abundance and fluctuations in number of the population of Chinook salmon spawning in the Columbia River. During the summer of 1930 data were collected consisting of addi- tional records of catches made in the lower river near Astoria from 1909 to 1930, inclusive; records of fish wheel catches from the terri- tory near Warrendale; and information regarding types of gear and boats that have been used in this fishery during the period of time covered by this analysis. The catch records secured from the lower portion of the river indicate that the previous data collected at Astoria constitute an adequate sample of the daily boat catches of that region. From these combined groups of records a reliable index of abundance should be obtained, which will indicate fluctuations in numbers of the total spawning population of each year and of the biologically distinct portions or “‘runs”’ of the various years. The records of the daily catches of the fish wheels at Warrendale, represent a very valuable addition to our records. They provide an index of abundance of the salmon at the point farthest up the river where commercial fishing of any great importance is carried on. It is possible that upon analysis they may yield a reliable record of relative escapement of salmon from the gear in the lower river. LS U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES The information secured concerning the types of gear used (the entire analysis has been confined to the records of gill net fishermen and the fish wheel records mentioned above) indicates that during the first six or eight years covered by our data, 1909 to about 1916, there was a steady improvement in the efficiency of the nets. Also it was during the same period that the sail boats became obsolete and boats powered with gasoline engines came into practically universal use in this fishery. These two factors undoubtedly increased the catch per unit of effort and gear during that time when the change was taking place and must be seriously considered in interpreting the final curves of relative abundance. The additional data collected during 1930 confirms the conclusions drawn from the previously gathered records: That from 1909 to 1925, the trend of catch per unit of effort and gear was approximately constant and that from 1925 to 1930 it has dropped at an alarming rate. TECHNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS Fisheries technology covers a very wide field of activity, in that it deals with an important food industry and sources of valued products in the arts and industries. The study of the technology of many food industries is an extensive subject and few, if any, food industries are as highly diversified as the fishery industries. Fisheries technology is at present demanding the attention and best efforts of chemists, engineers, and bacteriologists. Until a few years ago little had been accomplished in this field of food technology. Much remains yet to be accomplished. The Bureau of Fisheries, the College of Fisheries of the University of Washington, Seattle, Wash., and some of the larger fishery companies have been the leaders in this field. Develop- ments have come very rapidly in recent years. The technical hand- ling, preservation, and distribution of foods through the medium of refrigeration, particularly to inland consumers, has been largely a result of research activities in fisheries technology. Great progress has been made in the elimination of waste in the fishery industries. The enormous strides in the manufacture and uses of marine by- products are a real contribution to the science of animal nutrition. In fact, progress in some branches of fisheries technology, described in detail in the following pages, has been so great that other food industries are looking to this industry for guidance. BY-PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTION METHODS THE MENHADEN INDUSTRY For years fish scrap and fish oil have been established by-products of the fishing industry. Until recently, however, they were looked upon as low-grade materials. Fish scrap was manufactured and sold for use in fertilizer compounds and fish oil was marketed solely as a cheap substitute for other oils used by several technical industries. Within the past few years, largely through the efforts of the Bureau of Fisheries and certain enterprising individuals associated with the fish scrap and fish oil industry these products have become recognized as possessing greater potential usefulness. Investigation has shown ee FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 113 that properly prepared ground-fish meal is a valuable animal feedstuff and carefully rendered oils have increased value for technical use and that certain of them possess sufficient vitamin A and D potency to warrant their use in animal feeding. Fishery by-products of the type manufactured in the past are de- creasing in usefulness as competitive industries have progressed. Fishery by-products of improved quality have at least kept pace y y « : i ! i. 1 ‘FIGURE 1.—Laboratory press used in connection with studies in men- haden industry with competitive products and in some cases have gained increased prestige and even greater value. During the past year the bureau’s technologists completed an Be study of tle menhaden industry, a summary of the findings ollows: (1) The bilge water from a menhaden steamer generally contains sufficient oil to warrant recovery at the factory. (2) Most efficient operation from a continuous screw press may be expected when (a) the liquors are not required to traverse a great thickness of press cake, (b) the pressure is increased slowly, and (c) 114 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES sufficient time is given to permit the liquors from the center of the cake to reach the outer surfaces. (3) The continuous screw press extracts a ereater portion of oil and water from cooked menhaden than any of several types of centrifugal equipment tested. (4) Menhaden press liquors contain approximately 22 per cent of the total solids of the original material. Of this amount about 17 per cent is dissolved materials and about 5 per cent is suspended material. (5) Under present operating conditions all dissolved materials are discarded and only about one-third of the suspended materials are recovered. (6) In the separation of the oil from the press liquors only about 90 per cent of the oil is recovered as first-grade oil, about 2 per cent is lost, and the remaining 8 per cent is recovered in such a manner that it has lost approximately half its value. (7) By treating press liquors with a chemical coagulant, such as aluminum sulphate, and passing the liquors through a pressure filter the oil and water emulsion is broken, and all suspended solids and about one-third of the dissolved solids may be recovered. In addi- tion, such treatment may be expected to give a greater oil recovery. (8) Approximately 80 per cent of the suspended material may be recovered without difficulty by means of a 60-mesh mechanical screen. (9) Sereened press liquors may be handled successfully in a me- chancial separator. A similar separator will also recover the oil from the present waste waters. (10) Low acid oil may be obtained from fresh gurry by mechanical separators as well as by filter pressing with a filter aid. (11) Estimated recovery costs based on the solids content of press liquors and data supplied by manufacturers of evaporators indicate that the possibility of recovering the solids in waste waters warrants the consideration of manufacturers of evaporators and menhaden operators. (12) Storing oil in open tanks at the factory causes an increase in the free fatty acid content of the oil. (13) The present flame drier used in the industry causes a loss of over 10 per cent of the monetary value of the scrap dried. (14) Steam-tube driers will reduce the present loss in monetary value of dried scrap by over 50 per cent. (15) Hot dried scrap may be cooled rapidly in an aerator and a portion of the residual heat used for further drying of the material. (16) Preliminary feeding tests indicate that steam-dried menhaden meal has greater nutritional value than the flame-dried product. (17) The quantity of fat extractable with ether decreases during storage. The rate of the decrease is more rapid in the flame-dried product. (18) Menhaden stored at temperatures of from 35° to 40° F. are apparently in as good a condition for reduction purposes after 5 to 6 deye as fish kept at ordinary summer temperatures for a period of 24 hours. ; ; q / : ; 4 i FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 115 MANUFACTURING FISH OILS OF HIGHER VITAMIN POTENCY The interest which has been aroused concerning the use of fish oils in animal feeding suggests that if these oils are suitable for such usage more should be known about the relation which method of manufac- ture bears to nutritional value. Data should be available to guide the fish oil producer in manufacturing an oil conserving as near as pos- sible, its original vitamin potency. With this in mind, an investiga- tion was undertaken to measure the effect of the various operations in the manufacturing process on the vitamin potency of the oil. The data obtained as a result of the test work disclosed that the greatest destructive effect on vitamin D during the reduction process can be attributed to the present method of breaking the separated oil emulsion by treatment with heat in the oil cooking tanks. Fish oil manufacturers who desire to produce oil of higher vitamin potency therefore should take steps to eliminate the operation from the factory process. Information obtained during the test work suggested also several methods of manufacturing procedure whereby this could be accomplished. The first method requires the use of (a) a mechanical screen to re- move the majority of the suspended solids in the press liquors, (6) a centrifuge which gives a three-phase separation to make a preliminary separation of the oil portion in the presence of fine solids, and (c) a centrifugal oil purifier. | A second method would require the use of (a) a centrifugal extractor to remove the solids present in the press liquors, (b) a screening ar- rangement to recover the solids removed by the extractor, and (c) a centrifugal oil and water separator to make the final oil and water separation. A third method would require (a) immediate filtration of chemically treated press liquors, (6) mechanical separation of the filtered liquor, and (¢) mechanical purification of the separated oil. A fourth method would require (a) the use of a screen to remove the bulk of the suspended material as the liquor flowed from the press floor, (6) the use of the present system of gravity separating tanks, and (c) a centrifugal separator to remove the oil from the separated emulsion. A fifth method would permit the use of the present factory process up to the point where the oil and emulsion is floated to the cooking tanks. The separated oil layer then would be filter pressed to remove fine solids held in emulsion and the oil recovered in a centrifugal oil separator. All of the above procedures are applicable to the present wet reduc- tion process as the liquors flow from the press floor. In the case of menhbaden oil, application of the above principles was found to yield an oil having a vitamin D potency 25 per cent higher than oil manufac- tured by the present process. COOKING AND PRESSING FISH Realizing the importance of the cooking and pressing operations in the manufacture of fish oil and fish meal from such fish as menhaden, sardine, and herring, and the waste resulting from salmon, tuna, and mackerel canning operations, bureau technologists, during the past year, undertook a study of certain aspects of the cooking and pressing 116 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES of oily fish. The primary objects of the study were to obtain (1) data concerning the possibility of reducing pressing losses as a result of cooking methods, (2) data which could be used to guide press opera- tion, and (3) data which could be used as a basis for press design. In order to determine this, tests were made on (a) the effect of the amount of cooking on extraction, (b) the effect of cooking fish by direct and indirect steam heat on oil extraction, solids lost in press liquors, color of oil and acidity of the oil, (c) the effect of the intensity of pressure on extraction and solids loss, (d) the effect of the rate of pressure increase on extraction and solids loss, (e) the effect of time on extraction, (f) the effect of aperture size on extraction and solids loss, (g) the effect of the thickness of press cake on extraction, and (h) the effect of pre- liminary drainage on extraction. Although the experimental work has been concluded the data have not been sufficiently analyzed to permit definite conclusions to be published at the present writing. REDUCTION OF NONOILY FISH WASTE Knowledge obtained in past researches by the bureau on the effect of methods of manufacture on the nutritive value of fishery by- products has given impetus to the bureau’s study of efficient utilization of the waste incident to the North Atlantic ground fishery and the waste accumulated in the preparation of these fish for market as packaged products. During the past year a program has been worked out which will involve an exhaustive and detailed study of this subject. The investigative work outlined has been designed to determine the relation of: (1) Temperature, (2) method of applying heat, (3) kind of heating medium, (4) length of contact with the heating medium, and (5) particle size upon the quality of the products and the efficiency of the process. Both chemical and biochemical studies will be carried on in connection with the engineering studies, and products for both human and animal consumption will be investigated. The investiga- tion will also include a continuation of the bureau’s study of the utiliza- tion of trawler waste. In past studies on this subject, efforts have been made to adapt equipment designed for other purposes to fit the requirements for fish meal and fish flour manufacture. Although the studies indicated cer- tain improvements the final results were never completely satisfac- tory. It is believed, therefore, that in determining the relation of certain principles of reduction and the chemistry of the material to the quality of the final product manufactured, more intelligent prog- ress will result. This work is contemplated for the Gloucester tech- nological laboratory of the bureau. THE IODINE NUMBER OF HADDOCK LIVER OIL According to the Pharmacopeia of the United States, cod-liver oil is specified as being obtained frem the fresh livers of the cod, Gadus morrhua Linnzeus and of other species of Gadus. The latter state- ment was evidently meant to include fish of species related to the cods, such as haddock, cusk, hake, and pollock. Even though this coneep- tion of the definition is generally accepted the specifications on iodine value have raised a question of importance to the ground-fish industry. Some samples of haddock liver oil have shown an iodine value of over 180, which is the maximum prescribed by the Pharmacopeia. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 117 Before the era of packaged fish the above fact did not offer a prob- lem, since the availability of cod livers greatly exceeded that of had- dock livers. Since that time, however, some of the largest concerns in the ground fishery have grown primarily on trade m packaged had- dock fillets. Thus, within the space of a few years, the domestic supply of livers for liver oil manufacture has turned from cod to haddock. In view of the fact that the present domestic demand for cod and cod-liver oil is about 5,000,000 gallons annually, while domestic pro- duction is less than 300,000 gallons, it is considered important that every effort be made to encourage the use of livers suitable for this purpose. However, before progress can be expected, manufacturers must be assured that the possibility of the high iodine number of had- dock liver oil will not detract from the monetary value of the product. Accordingly, during the past year, the bureau made preliminary plans incident to an investigation of this problem which is now under way. The scope of the investigation will include a study of the iodine number of haddock liver oil at different seasons of the year from fish caught on the various important fishing grounds. This work will then be correlated with a biochemical study of the oils, and if the results indicate that present specifications are detrimental to the future of haddock liver oils, recommendations will be made in an effort to ob- tain for the product just consideration. IMPROVED HANDLING OF FRESH AND FROZEN FISH During the year the bureau established a refrigeration laboratory at the Municipal Fish Market in this city for the purpose of continued studies in the evaporation of moisture from frozen fish, the rusting of frozen fish, and the losses incurred through leaching of fish packed in ice. The equipment consisted of a laboratory brine freezer, which employs dry ice as a cooling medium for the brine. The fish are frozen in aluminum pans and molds floated on the brine. The cool- ing is accomplished by placing the dry ice in pans arranged with ‘“‘fins’”? on the bottom so as to obtain the maximum surface contact and increase the refrigeration efficiency. In actual practice it was found that 1 pound of dry ice would lower the temperature of 4 cubic feet of brine approximately 4° F. The heavily insulated cab- inet around the brine tank renders it possible to hold temperatures He low as 60° below zero F. with a comparatively small quantity of ry ice. In addition to this quick freezer, the laboratory was equipped with three electric refrigerators. These were supplied with an oversize unit capable of holding a temperature of 15° below zero F. A speci- ally constructed thermostat was arranged so that it would hold the temperature constant within 0.2 of a degree F. These refriger- ators were also equipped with a recording thermometer, which made a continuous record of the temperatures. The fish to be studied were first frozen at temperatures of approxi- mately 50° below zero F. These were then coated with hydrogenated cottonseed oil, untreated cottonseed oil, peanut oil, or corn oil; also one sample was water glazed as a control. They were stored at a constant temperature approximating the conditions of commercial storage as nearly as possible. The samples coated with cottonseed oil showed up particularly well, reducing the evaporations from about 118 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 23 per cent in the glazed fish control to 6 per cent in the treated fish. It is estimated that this treatment will cost the producer less than 1 cent per 40 pounds of fish, and will not detract in any way from the value. — In fact, it enhances the value of the fish, as cotton- seed oil is edible and is often used as frying fat. During the time when this work was being conducted at the request of the authorities of the District government, the technologist offered suggestions which would tend to increase the attractiveness of the Municipal Fish Market. These dealt with the sanitary conditions, FIGURE 2.—Fish packaging improvements in refrigeration facilities for the stores, and general recommendations. LEACHING OF FOOD AND MINERAL VALUES It has been recognized for several years that there is appreciable loss of food value and mineral constituents when fish are packed in contact with crushed ice. The water from the melting ice drips over the fish and results in a leaching effect. The losses incurred in weight of the fish in food and mineral value have never been determined, and very little has been done to prevent losses of this nature. In preliminary experiments it was found to be as high as 4 pounds per ton over a period of seven days. This apparently is not a great loss until it is multiplied by the amounts of fish handled in crushed ice over a period of a year; then it begins to assume proportions which are really surprising. In this same consideration it should be emphasized that the flavor and mineral constituents of the fish are the most important con- FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 119 stituents which are most readily lost by leaching, and if losses of this nature are reduced the taste and food value of the fish will be little impaired from that as originally caught. The first series of these experiments has been completed, including a detailed report of the findings. FREEZING OYSTERS During the past year experiments have been conducted on freezing oysters. If rapidly frozen oysters could be introduced for consump- tion in the summer months and the public induced to buy them, the yearly output of the producers could be increased materially. The research has demonstrated that oysters can be rapidly frozen ne Le Mee eh Nh tg ha ee ne i Pe ee Ati ; : La i ek *y as ads FIGURE 3.—Quick freezing fish fillets for packaged trade and placed in cold storage for several months without impairing the taste. NET PRESERVATION Investigation of net preservatives has indicated four general lines for study, as follows: (1) Development of chemical preservatives, (2) application of chemicals to textiles, (3) variability of location of nets, (4) yearly variability of deterioration in one locality. Under the first subheading the work of 1930 indicates that colloidal silver, selected dyes, and certain antioxidants have valuable preservative properties. Thorough milling of solid constituents of a net dip appear to be highly beneficial. The utilization of tung oil or of special lacquers for net preservation seems advisable. Under the second heading ideal practice has been demonstrated as described \in Bureau of Fisheries Economic Circular No. 74. The study of the variability of fishing waters in relation to net preservation has been greatly expanded in the past year, material being exposed in 21 fishing areas covering all sections of continental United States in 120 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES addition to the accelerated exposure at Beaufort, N. C. No special attention has been given to the yearly variability as this has been previously recognized. It was noted, however, that due to local drought conditions the fouling of nets in Chesapeake Bay was excep- tionally heavy in 1930. The deterioration of nets appears to be primarily influenced by currents, depth of water, character of bottom, concentration of bacteria, salinity, and temperature. The work of 1930 was divided between trap netting and gill netting since these are not only important classes of nets in themselves, but are typical of most of the other nets in the matter of preservation. TRAP NETS These represent the nets that must be exposed in water for long periods. They must be strong to withstand storms and rough han- dling, and hence are made of heavy cotton. It is desirable that the webbing should be flexible, resistant to abrasion and marine growths, and yet be as light as possible. During 1930 these ideal conditions were approached by several preservatives. The principle of impreg- nating the twine with a light chemical mixture and covering this with a heavy mixture appears to have been established as highly beneficial. Copper oleate, when used in combination with other materials, continues to be very efficacious, especially in fresh water. Coal tar is still an essential component in the most desirable trap preservative formule. The fishermen suffer heavy losses due to inferior tars, and a high grade standard quality is greatly needed. GILL NETS Exposures of gill-net thread were made in representative waters in 1930 and at the Reedville (Va.) laboratory. Extensive work was carried on in which the small gill nets were operated to reproduce on a laboratory scale the service of commercial gill nets, except that the catch of fish was kept at a minimum. By this means informa- tion was gained concerning comparative deterioration of cotton, silk, and linen, the effects of preservation on webbing, and certain effects of chemical washing. The most important fact demonstrated was that the deterioration of a gill net by the direct rays of the sun is much more destructive than water exposure for the same length of time. A certain chemical was proven to be highly efficacious in resisting the destruction caused by the rays of the sun. Much data on these classes of twine were obtained through the assistance of fishermen and other cooperators, who exposed small mailable samples, which were afterwards returned to Washington for inspection. This principle of obtaining information regarding special fishing waters may be of considerable future value. NUTRITIVE VALUE OF MARINE PRODUCTS Marine products represent an important source of food. This class of foods, generally speaking, is a good source of proteins, vita- | mins, and minerals in quantity and variety. Because of these facts and because the primary consideration of food products is their food value, the Bureau of Fisheries has become greatly interested in the science of nutrition. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 121 As stated in the 1929 report of this division, this bureau arranged with the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils a cooperative research pro- gram to study the nutritive value of marine products and assigned a chemist for this purpose to the laboratories of the protein and nutri- tion division of the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, United States Department of Agriculture. As previously reported, the first studies dealt with the vitamins A and D content of such commercial fish oils produced in the United States and Alaska as tuna, salmon, pilchard (California sardine), Alaska herring, Maine herring, and menhaden. Some of these oils were found to be good sources of vitamin D for animal feeding. It was thought that heat and oxida- tion in the process of manufacture now in commercial use might adversely affect the vitamin content of these oils. Accordingly, studies of the effect of different processes of manufacture of experi- mentally prepared oils were inaugurated. Some of these have been completed. A study of the above character made in connection with menhaden fish oils revealed that, whereas commercial menhaden oil contained only about three-fourths the vitamin D content of medicinal cod-liver oil, menhaden oils prepared according to some of the experi- mental processes described in the by-products section of this report were equally as potent in vitamin D as medicinal cod-liver oil. Salmon oils extracted from the canned offal of the five commercial species of salmon were tested. Four out of the five tested species proved to be equal to medicinal cod-liver oil in content of vitamin A. All of these oils were equal to medicinal cod-liver oil in vitamin D, and three of the species were twice as potent in vitamin D as medicinal cod-liver oil. Oils extracted from the edible canned product of the five species of salmon proved to be equal in vitamin D content to medicinal cod-liver oil; however, the vitamin A content was rela- tively low. This may be due to the canning process or present cannery methods. Other experiments being conducted by our bio- chemists in the laboratories of the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils are (a) the vitamins A and D content of burbot liver oil, (6) the chem- ical and physical characteristics of burbot liver oil, (c) the vitamin D content of oysters from different localities of the United States. In view of the fact that American fish oils are comparatively rich in vitamins A and D, these may replace imported cod-liver oil in this country and lessen our dependence on foreign sources of supply. Experiments indicating the relatively high vitamin content of canned salmon should be of considerable interest to our great salmon-canning industry. The bureau’s investigator at Johns Hopkins University has com- pleted certain experimental work in connection with the mineral content of fish meals and kelp meal. Spectographic analyses of the mineral elements occurring in these products were made. In some instances some of the less common elements were identified in quanti- ties too small to be detected by ordinary chemical analyses. As far as possible, however, chemical analyses were conducted to verify the spectographic determinations. The following mineral constitu- ents were found, either by chemical or spectographic analyses: Aluminum, barium, boron, calcium, chromium, copper, fluorine, iron, iodine, lead, lithium, magnesium, manganese, nickel, niobium, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, silicon, silver, sodium, strontium, thallium, tin, titanium, vanadium, and zinc. 122 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Some months ago, one of the bureau’s biochemists was assigned to a cooperative research project in the laboratories of the South Carolina Food Research Commission at Charleston, S. C., in which a study is being made of the mineral content of oysters with a relation to the prevention and cure of nutritional anemia. Copper, man- ganese, and iron are the mineral elements inviting special attention in this connection. Samples of oysters are being procured from locali- ties representing as far as possible the entire United States at different seasons of the year. This project will require at least a year for completion. Recently considerable interest has been shown in fish flour—a product at the present time being prepared experimentally from the FIGURE 4.—Portion of fisheries nutrition laboratory edible parts, including the backbone, of fish remaining from the filleting or packaged fish industry. This product is dried at a low temperature, under vacuum, and ground into a fine meal or flour. It has a pleasant taste and odor, as well as an attractive appear- ance. It can be made cheaply, asit comes from raw material which is now either a waste or is converted into fish meal for animal feeding. It may contain as high as 28 to 30 per cent of minerals, consisting largely of calcium and phosphorus. Laboratory investigations and baking tests, conducted by the Cereal Laboratory of the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils in cooperation with this bureau, have demon- strated that it is possible to incorporate 10 to 25 per cent of this fish flour in bakery products, of a palatable and nutritious nature, de- signed especially to appeal to children. Fish flour should be of con- siderable value in bone growth. Arrangements have been made with a public institution to make a special study of fish flour in the diet of children. Cooperation of the District of Columbia medical and dental FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 123 societies has been extended to the bureau in connection with these tests. The bureau is continuing its cooperative tests, in extending its nutrition studies to farm animals, with various Federal and State agricultural experiment stations. At the present time, these studies are being confined to various fish and shellfish meals, but it is hoped to extend them to other marine products suitable for use in animal nutrition such as fish oils and kelp meal. Notable among these cooperative stations may be mentioned the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Industry, Experimental Farm at Beltsville, Md.; the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster, Ohio; and Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, Ithaca, N. Y. The number of nutrition studies relating to and depending on other phases of the bureau’s technological investigations, together with demands for nutrition investigations from the industry, have com- pelled the bureau to establish its own nutrition laboratory. The investigations already planned will tax the facilities of the new nutrition laboratory to the utmost for at least a year or more. The experimental animal most universally used, namely, the albino rat, is used in our nutrition studies. In cooperation with this bureau, the division of animal husbandry, Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agricul- ture, has completed recently at the experiment farm located at Belts- ville, Md., feeding tests with sheep in which the nutritive value of shrimp meal has been studied over a period of approximately two years. The sheep were divided into two lots. Lot 1 received a ration of 8 parts oats, 8 parts bran, 4 parts corn, and 2 parts of old process linseed oil meal by weight. Lot 2 received the same ration except that the linseed oil meal was replaced with an equal quantity of shrimp meal. Both lots were fed equal amounts of western alfalfa hay and equal amounts of corn ensilage. The total gain in pounds of the sheep on the linseed oil meal ration was 556 in 1929, whereas sheep on the shrimp meal ration gained a total of 582 pounds in 1929. In 1930, each lot gained 475 pounds. These two rations were of approximately equal value in wool production. The data obtained from these tests indicates that shrimp meal is just as valuable as old process linseed oil meal for feeding sheep when used up to 10 per cent of the total grain mixture. GLOUCESTER LABORATORY The bureau is establishing a large field laboratory at Gloucester, Mass., for the general conduct of technological research, including the following activities: Refrigeration, smoking, canning, bacteri- ology of industrial processes, by-products, and production methods. MARKET AND INDUSTRIAL SURVEYS Market and industrial surveys are made to supply the trade with useful market information regarding the distribution and consump- tion of fishery products and to supply descriptive and economic data on our fisheries and fishery industries. 63264—31——2 124 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES FISH-FARMING INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES Continuing the work started in 1928 in a survey of the goldfish industry, the fish-farming industry was further studied during 1930 when a market survey was made of the trout and pond-fish industries. The fish farmed in the trout industry are brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, cut-throat trout, lake trout, and landlocked salmon. In the pond-fish industry, largemouth and smallmouth black bass, crappie, blue-gill sunfish, and catfish are farmed. As a result of the survey it was found that the commercial raising of trout extends throughout the United States, although it is chiefly centered in the northern regions and those of high altitude, with the most important centers of the industry being located in Colorado, and in the North Atlantic States. The pond-fish industry, with but few exceptions, is confined to the more southern parts of the United States, where warmer waters, which are necessary for the erowth of pond- fish are found. In 1929 there were 133 trout and 11 pond-fish establishments raising fish commercially in the United States. These employed 262 persons, who were paid $277,538 in salaries and wages. Those raising trout used 5,969 acres of water, and those raising pond fishes used 638 acres. The products marketed in the trout industry were valued at $1,072,700, and consisted of eggs, fry, fingerlings, yearlings, and adults. The products of the pond-fish industry were valued at $21,444, and consisted of fingerlings, yearlings, and adults. The value of these products combined with $942,000, the value of the products marketed annually by the goldfish industry, makes the annual production of all fish-farming industries in the United States worth $2,036,144. Trout and pond-fish products are distributed mainly during the summer months, and almost wholly by the individual producers. The greater proportion of the production is sold directly to consumers at the hatchery, or shipped to them on orders received at the hatchery. Eggs, fry, and fingerlings are purchased for stocking mainly by sports- men’s organizations, and State and Federal Governments, although some are purchased by individuals for stocking private streams or lakes. Yearlings and adults are also bought by the above types of purchasers for stocking purposes, although the greater proportion is purchased by hotels, restaurants, dining cars, other commercial eating houses, and individuals for eating purposes. The full report on this survey is contained in Fishery Circular No. 2 entitled, ‘“‘Fish-Farming Industries of the United States.” This may be purchased for 5¢ from the Superintendent of Docu- ments, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. _ FISH OILS During the year 1930 the price of all fats and oils decreased mark- edly—marine-animal oils being affected more adversely than any others. In addition to the drop in price the demand for domestic oils of marine origin decreased to the point where very little oil could be sold at even the extremely low prices which prevailed. In order to determine the reason for these conditions the bureau con- ducted a study of the markets for marine-animal oils in the United States. In making the study, the bureau’s representative (1) inter- FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 125 viewed members of the more important consuming industries (man- ufacturers of soap, paint, linoleum, oil cloth, and feed), in order to determine the attitude of the trade toward the oils, (2) interviewed concerns interested in the sale and distribution of the oils, and (3) re- viewed all available statistics concerning the production, importa- tion, and consumption of the oils during the past decade. The results of the survey show that both the consuming public and the consuming industries hold a general apathy toward the use of marine-animal oils, especially the fish oils. The consumption of these oils is based upon their serving as cheap substitutes for other fats and oil. This condition has resulted from the manufacture of inferior products in the past, lack of uniformity in the quality of the present domestic product, and improper marketing methods. In addition, the competition received from foreign marine-animal oils: and the apparent preference of the consumer for some of these in place of domestic oils has tended to decrease the utility of the domestic: oils by the development of a most unhealthy condition in the domestic supply. The study indicates that if the domestic marine-animal oil industry is to prosper in the future it must break down the apathy toward the use of these oils, and increase their usefulness to the consumer by improving their quality, by finding new outlets, and by reducing the present effect of competitive products. VIRGIN ISLANDS OF THE UNITED STATES After the President’s return to Washington from his visit to the Virgin Islands of the United States, the economic plight of these islands was brought forcibly to the attention of the various govern- mental departments and establishments, and, wherever possible, each was requested to give consideration to methods for alleviating this condition. As no recent data were available in its field, the Bureau of Fisheries made arrangements for a brief economic survey of the fisheries with the intention of securing detailed data on the methods and practices followed, and to suggest possible changes for their improvement. On May 2, 1931, the writer and one of the division’s technologists were detailed to conduct this survey and on May 15, 1931, began work in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. In the course of the work, about 85 per cent of the fishermen were interviewed in all the prin- cipal fishing localities as well as many people interested in the fisheries. The preliminary survey was completed on May 30, 1931. As a result of the survey it was found that the industry in the islands is faced with the problem of marketing the catch now obtained rather than that of securing a sufficient supply, for there is reason to believe that there are many times throughout the year when the local markets are glutted with fish, making it impossible to dispose of the catch. ‘Two plans appeared feasible for expanding the market. These are: (1) Expanding the market for fresh fish; (2) Establishment of a local fish-curing industry to replace imported cured fish. In order to further these plans, the division’s technologist remained to conduct experiments along these lines. If suce.ssful, the economic welfare of the fisheries of the islands will be materially benefited. 126 U. S.

FISHERY STATISTICS REVIEW As the scope of fishery statistics has widened with frequent surveys being made, more definite analyses, and trends have been made possible. GENERAL The catch of fishery products in the United States and Alaska during 1929 exceeded that during the previous year. The value of the output of canned fishery products and by-products in 1930 decreased as did the production of packaged fish. The production of frozen fish increased over 1929, and both imports and exports of fishery products decreased as compared with 1929. In 1929, the domestic fisheries employed more than 191,000 persons, of whom about 123,000 were fishermen, 4,000 were employed on trans- porting craft, and 64,000 were engaged in wholesale and manufacturing industries. The catch amounted to about 3,567,000,000 pounds, valued at $123,054,000. In 1930, the production of canned fishery products amounted to 576,685,000 pounds, valued at $82,858,000, and the output of by- = GR TON Lc __ VALUE == MILLIONS CCF DOLLARS: See SE ee NEW ENGLAND PACIFIC ALASKA SOUTH ATLANTIC ANO GULF ATLANTIC CHESAPEAKE LAKES MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES FIGURE 5.—Production and value of the fisheries of the various sections of the United States and Alaska, 1929 products was valued at $23,721,000. Cold-storage holdings of fish averaged about 62,400,000 pounds monthly, while 139,297,000 pounds were frozen. ‘The production of fresh, frozen, and smoked packaged fishery products amounted to 80,014,000 pounds, valued at $12,580,- 000. Fishery products imported for consumption were valued at $50,830,000, while domestic exports were valued at $17,276,000. The production of cured fish in 1929 amounted to more than 119,000,000 pounds, valued at $18,000,000. YieLD oF Foop FisHery Propucts, By VoLuME The yield of food fishery products in the United States and Alaska amounted to 3,098,000,000 pounds in 1929. About 155 products contributed to this poundage. When considered by individual pro- ducts, it was found that 80 per cent of the entire yield consisted of 11 groups of products. First in importance among these were pil- chard, which is utilized in California for canning as sardines. Of second importance was salmon, which is the basis for a valuable canning industry on our Pacific coast from California north to the Bering Sea. Sea herring was third in importance. These fish are used extensively in Maine for canning as sardines, in Alaska and New 128 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES England for salting and smoking and large quantities are also frozen for use as bait. Haddock which is taken on the banks off the North Atlantic seaboard, ranked fourth. This fish is the basis for the fresh and frozen packaged fish trade. Oysters ranked fifth in importance. These were taken commercially in nearly every sea-coast State. Those taken in the more northern latitudes generally are marketed fresh, while those taken in the Southern States are used principally for canning. Mackerel was sixth in importance and was taken along the North Atlantic coast and off the cost of California. Cod ranked seventh and was taken mainly in the vessel fisheries prosecuted from the New England ports. Cod is used largely for salting. Shrimp, which was eighth in importance, is used chiefly in the canning in- dustry in the Southern States. Crabs were ninth in importance and PRODUCT |e CETTE ENT TN eee ae = DILCHARD y ALMON DP) SEA HERRING NADOOCK OYSTERS MACKLREL 11 PRODUCTS~ 2,491,042,000 POUNDS - 60% C00 SHRIMP BABS TUNA AND TUNALINE FLOUNDERS HALIBUT ATF)SH ARD 24 PRODUCTS 466,161,000 POUNDS 15% POLLOCK BUT TLAFISN LOBSTERS scuP (ant TROUT ot TT 121 PRODUCTS 140,687,000 POUNDS- 5%) 156 PRODUCTS - 3.057,684,000 POUNDS -100% Fiagure 6.—Yield of edible fishery products taken in the United States and Alaska, 1929 were taken chiefly in the Chesapeake Bay region, where they con- stituted one of the most important fisheries. Tuna and tunalike fishes, which are taken off the coasts of California and Latin America, were tenth in importance and form the basis for an important con- ning industry in California. Flounders, which ranked eleventh in importance, were taken in the marine fisheries of all sections. Among the species of moderate commercial importance were 24 products whose yield contributed 15 per cent to the catch in 1929. Included in this group are some whose catch in previous years greatly exceeded the present yield—shad and lobsters being outstanding examples. The species of least importance consisted of approximately 120 products whose yield accounted for only 5 per cent of the total catch. This group includes certain species which were at one time of con- siderable importance, but usually they consititute products of limited supply or inferior quality. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 129 YreLD oF Foop FisHery Propucts, By VALUE When considered according to value, 18 products accounted for 80 per cent of the catch in 1929. Listed in order of their importance they were: Salmon, oysters, haddock, halibut, shrimp, tuna and tunalike fishes, clams, lobsters, pilchard, cod, flounders, mackerel, shad, crabs, sea herring, squeteagues, lake trout, and whitefish. It will be noted that the rank of species when considered according to value differs considerably from that shown with respect to volume. While pilchard ranked first in volume, its place in value was ninth, and salmon, which was second in volume, ranked first in value. Considerable variation of this type is noticeable due to the difference in unit values. In the group of moderate importance, 26 products accounted for 15 per cent of the total value and in the group of least importance, about 110 products accounted for the remaining 5 per cent of the value.

The most important products in this group were menhaden and fresh-water mussel shells. The menhaden is manufactured into scrap and meal for use as fertilizer or in animal feeding and into oil which is used extensively in the making of soap and paint. Fresh- water mussel shells are utilized chiefly in the manufacture of pearl buttons and novelties. Other important products in the nonfood group were whale products, king crabs, and sponges. YIELD oF THE MARINE FisHErRrEes OF THE UNITED States, By GEAR With respect to the weight of the catch in the marine fisheries of the United States, 7 types of gear accounted for 88 per cent of the total. In order of their importance they were: Purse seines, which accounted for 28 per cent of the catch; lampara nets, 18 per cent;. otter trawls, 15 per cent; lines, 13 per cent; pound nets, 6 per cent; and dredges and gill nets, each, 4 per cent. Considered according to the value of the catch, 10 types of gear accounted for 91 per cent of the total. In order of their importance they were: Lines, which accounted for 17 per cent of the value; otter trawls, 16 per cent; dredges, 15 per cent; purse seines and pound nets, each, 9 per cent; gill nets and tongs, each, 7 per cent; pots and lampara nets, each, 4 per cent; and haul seines 3, per cent. YIELD OF THE FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1880 To 1929 Only one complete survey for statistics of the commercial catch of fishery products in the United States has been made during the 50 years from 1880 to 1929, that being in 1908. However, during this period from 5 to 24 annual surveys have been made in the indi- vidual geographical sections. It is apparent, therefore, that data are not available to compute an actual trend of the fisheries during the past half century. It is possible, however, to compute average annual yields from the figures obtained in those surveys which have been made by prorating the yields for the intervening years. The table presented on page 143 is the result of such computations. 300 2,500 2,000 4500 E ea] ; a 0 a eres — NO NOH OD O- NIT OOK OHO-% WOR DRO— AM ANOKONO— UMW OE ON BsSQsIS5 SS AaKaFAaaRASssBsssssar-coseecers BANAL SSNN 4 a = YEARS = FIGuRE 8.—Yield of the fisheries of the United States, 1880 to 1929 MILLIONS OF POUNDS —— _ FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 131 From this tabulation it will be noted that the yield of the com- mercial fisheries of the United States (excluding Alaska) has increased from 1,614,789,000 pounds in 1880 to 2,915,854,000 pounds in 1929, an increase of about 80 per cent. In general the increase has been consistently upward, showing the largest catch in 1929. Considered according to geographical sections the fisheries of the New England States have shown comparatively little fluctuation, although in the past few years there has been an upward trend. In the Middle Atlantic States the trend has been downward, the catch 1880 never having been equalled in subsequent years. The catch in the Chesapeake Bay States in 1929 closely approximates that of 1880, however, during the intervening years, the yield has usually exceeded that of either the early or late years of the period. The peak was reached in 1920. The catches in both the South Atlantic and Gulf States have increased consistently from 1880 to 1929, the catches in 1880 being the smallest and those in 1929 by far the largest. In the Pacific Coast States the catch in 1929 exceeds by far that of any year during the period under review. There were numerous fluctuations in the trend until the past few years when there have been consistent increases. The yield of the fisheries of the Missis- sippi River and tributaries reached its peak in 1908. Since then the trend has been downward, but it yet is more than double that of 1880. In the lake fisheries the yield increased rather consistently from 1880 to 1890, when the largest catch was made. The period sipce 1890 has been marked by many fluctuations in the catch, finally reaching the lowest level on record in 1928. A partial recovery was experienced in 1929. NEW ENGLAND STATES The most recent general statistics of these States, which are for 1929, show that both the catch and value of the catch exceeded that in any year for which there are records. The catch increased 15 per cent in quantity and 13 per cent in value as compared with the catch in the previous year. Larger catches of haddock and mackerel were mainly responsible for this increase. Landings of fish at Boston, Gloucester, and Portland were the largest on record, although the value of these fish was somewhat less than in the previous year. The output of packaged fish registered a decline of 7 per cent as compared with that in the previous year. The frozen fish trade shows a considerable increase in 1930 over 1929. The production of sar- dines, which is the principal fish-canning industry in this section and is centered in Maine, showed a decrease as compared with the pre- vious year. The cured-fish industry increased in volume over that in 1928. MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES The value of the catch of the fisheries of the Middle Atlantic States in 1929 exceeded that in any year for which there are records. This increased value is due largely to increased activities in the oyster industry. The weight of the catch was also greater than in 1926, when the most recent previous general survey was made. Landings of fish at New York City and Groton, Conn., which consisted largely of haddock, flounders, cod, mackerel, and tilefish, 132 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES decreased perceptibly as compared with 1929. The packaged-fish trade also decreased, as did the trade in frozen fish. The production of menhaden decreased as compared with that in 1929. The catch of shad in the Hudson River increased somewhat over the previous year. The production of cured fish showed a marked increase over 1926, the most recent previous year for which this industry was surveyed. CHESAPEAKE BAY STATES The most recent general statistical canvass of this section, which was for 1929, shows the smallest catch of fishery products since the survey for 1888. The decline in the volume of the menhaden catch has been largely responsible for this decrease in the total catch. The catch of shad in the Potomac River during 1930 was much less than that of 1929, but the catch of alewives increased slightly. The production of packaged fish was about the same as in 1929. The production of cured fish in 1929 was less than in 1925, when the pre- vious survey for complete statistics of these products was made. The value of the production of menhaden products in 1930 was approximately the same as that in 1929. SOUTH ATLANTIC AND GULF STATES Statistics of the fisheries of these States for 1929 show the largest catch on record, although the value of the catch was exceeded in both 1927 and 1928. The production of cured fishery products in 1929 almost equalled the output in the previous year. There were decreases in the production of canned oysters and shrimp as well as menhaden products. The manufacture of each of these products is an important industry in this section. PACIFIC COAST STATES In the years for which records are available the catch of fishery products in this section has increased constantly. In 1929 there was an increase of 47 per cent in the catch and 22 per cent in the value of the catch as compared with the previous year. The production of frozen fish was greater in 1930 than in 1929. The pack of cured fish decreased in 1929 as compared with the previous year. There was a decrease of 35 per cent in the pack of salmon in 1930 as compared | with 1929, due to the smaller pack of humpback or pink salmon, as 1930 was the ‘‘off year” for these species. Compared with the pack in 1928, the previous ‘‘off year,” there was an increase of 25 per cent in the pack. There was a decrease in the pack of sardines in 1930, but a large increase in the output of canned tuna and tunalike fishes. The landings of the halibut fleet in 1930 decreased somewhat from those in 1929. LAKE FISHERIES The United States fisheries prosecuted in the Great Lakes and the International Lakes of northern Minnesota show an increase in 1929 over the previous year. This increase may be attributed in part to the inclusion of certain products not canvassed in recent surveys and to a change in the methods of collecting statistics in some of the States. The catch of cisco, which was once an important product in the fisheries of Lake Erie, has continued to decrease at an alarming FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 133 rate. The catches of lake herring, lake trout, and yellow perch, as well as some of the less important species, have shown recoveries from the small catches of 1928. MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES No general survey of the fisheries of this region has been made since 1922, and therefore no recent trend can be determined. The yield of fresh-water mussels, which contributed approximately one- half to the total weight of the catch in 1922, shows an increase in 1930 not only over the production of 1922, but also that of 1929. The fisheries of Lakes Pepin and Keokuk decreased in yield in 1930 as compared with the previous year, but the catch in the Mississippi River between these two lakes shows a gain. ALASKA The catch of the fisheries of Alaska in 1930 was somewhat less than in the previous year. There was a decrease in the pack of salmon amounting to 6 per cent, as compared with the pack in 1929. The catch of herring as well as that of halibut was somewhat less than in the previous year. There was an increase in the frozen fish and cured fish activities over 1929.

FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 145 CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS AND BY-PRODUCTS TRADE The output of canned fishery products and by-products in the United States and Alaska in 1930 was valued at $106,579,039. Of the total, canned products comprised $82,858,261 and by-products $23,720,778, a decrease of 18 per cent in the value of canned products and a decrease of less than one-half of 1 per cent in the value of by-products when compared with the respective values of the same groups for the previous year. (The value of by-products for 1930 is not comparable directly with that for 1929, since statistics on the output of marine pearl-shell products were not obtained in 1929.) Fishery products were canned at 464 establishments in the United States and Alaska in 1930. The combined output of these canneries amounted to 14,767,186 standard cases. The net weight of the prod- ‘ucts canned amounted to 576,685,454 pounds. Canned fishery products or by-products were prepared in 27 States and Alaska during 1930. Alaska ranked first in the value of these products, accounting for 30 per cent of the total. Canned salmon was the leading product manufactured there. California, with her important sardine and tuna canning industries, ranked second with 25 per cent of the total value; and Washington, with an important salmon industry, ranked third with 9 per cent of the total value. Maine, where canned sardines were the most important commodity, ranked fourth with 6 per cent of the total value. Considering the output by geographical sections, the Pacific coast and Alaska ac- counted for 68 per cent of the total value of canned products and by-products.

S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES SALMON In 1930 salmon was canned at 149 plants in Alaska, 31 in Washing- ton, 12 in Oregon, and 2 in California. Compared with the previous year, this was a decrease of 7 plants in Alaska, 5 in Washington, and 3 in Oregon, and an increase of 1 in California. The combined out- put of the 194 plants amounted to 6,086,479 standard cases of forty- eight 1-pound cans valued at $42,835,953. Of the total, 1,054,001 cases, valued at $13,140,081, were packed in the Pacific Coast States, and 5,032,478 cases, valued at $29,695,872, in Alaska. The pack in the Pacific Coast States was 35 per cent less than in the year previous due mainly to the smaller pack in the Puget Sound district of hump- back or pink salmon, as 1930 was an ‘‘off year.’”’ Compared with 1928, the previous ‘‘off year,’”’ there was an increase of 25 per cent in the pack. The pack in Alaska was 6 per cent less than the previous year. fe ST See MILLIONS OFS DONT ARS ata se PRODUCT ; MILLIONS OF DLL AR — ———— SALMON SARDINES TUNA AND TUNALIKE SHRIMP CLAMS OYSTERS ALL OTHER FIGURE 9.—Value of canned fishery products in the United States and Alaska, 1930 The world pack of canned salmon in 1930 amounted to 10,438,646 cases, which was an increase of 4 per cent as compared with that of the previous year.

HOLDINGS During 1930 the average monthly holdings of frozen fish and shellfish increased 12 per cent over the average monthly holdings during 1929, and 25 per cent over the 5-year average of monthly holdings. Indi- vidual monthly holdings during the year were all above normal when compared with the 5-year average, being from 4 to 39 per cent higher. Compared with the respective monthly holdings in 1929 they were from about 1 to 26 per cent greater during 10 months of the year, and 6 to 20 per cent less during the remaining 2 months of the year. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 181 Monthly holdings in 1930 were largest from July to December, in- clusive, being, in some instances, three to nearly four times those for certain months from January to June, inclusive. A maximum of 91,872,000 pounds were held on November 15, and a minimum of 25,357,000 pounds on April 15. Holdings during the year averaged 62,430,000 pounds monthly. On the average the monthly holdings in the New England section were largest in 1930, amounting to 17,914,000 pounds. Large quanti- ties of frozen packaged fish were held in this section. Monthly holdings in the Pacific section were second largest and amounted to 14,551,000 pounds. Monthly holdings in the Middle Atlantic section were third largest and amounted to 13,497,000 pounds on the average. The large holdings in this section are due to the imports from other sections, where they are stored pending sale in the large consumption centers in the Middle Atlantic section.

With halibut it is found that during each month in 1930 the holdings were below normal except during the months of January, February, November, and December. Those of sea herring were below normal during the first four months of the year, and then above normal for the remainder of the year. Those of lake trout were below normal during the months of January, February, September, October, November, and December. Those of mackerel were above normal for the first three months of the year, then slumped below normal for the next three months, and returned to considerably above normal for the remainder of the year with the exception of November and December, when they were slightly below normal. Those of salmon were somewhat below normal during the first six months of the year, and then during the latter six months holdings increased at an unusual rate. Those of squid were con- siderably below normal from January to April, inclusive. During this period the shortage of squid for bait became rather acute.

Other species are also held in cold-storage, but no report is made on them to the Government as their volume reaches but small proportions. Dur- ing 1930 the monthly holdings of cured herring varied between 12,115,000 pounds in April and 19,067,000 pounds in October. Monthly holdings of mild-cured salmon varied between 2,464,000 pounds in May and 7,516,000 pounds in October. The average monthly holdings of cured fish held in cold-storage in 1930 were 22 per cent less than the average monthly holdings during the year 1929, and 15 per cent below the average normal monthly holdings. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 185 The respective monthly holdings in 1930 compared with the respective monthly holdings in 1929 show decreases of from 8 to 41 per cent.

BUREAU OF FISHERIES FOREIGN FISHERY TRADE The volume of foreign trade in fishery products in the United States in 1930 amounted to $68,105,230 of which $50,829,653 represents the value of those products imported for consumption, and $17,275,577 the value of exports of domestic fishery products. Compared with the previous year, this is a decrease of 25 per cent in the total trade, a decrease of 24 per cent in the value of imports, and a decrease of 28 per cent in the value of exports. Imports consisted of 338,486,501 pounds of edible products (includ- ing fresh, frozen, cured, and canned fish and shellfish), valued at $35,035,999 and nonedible products (comprised mainly of marine animal oils, pearls, imitation pearls, shells and buttons of pearl or shell), valued at $15,793,654. Compared with 1929 this is a decrease of 5 per cent in the quantity and 9 per cent in the value of edible products imported, and a decrease of 43 per cent in the value of nonedible products imported. Decreases in the value of edible products imported were apparent in all classification groups except in the frozen, prepared, or preserved fish roe group wherein there was a small increase. All groups of nonedible products decreased as compared with the previous year. Fishery exports consisted of edible products amounting to 167,173,- 475 pounds, valued at $16,983,338 and nonedible products valued at $292,239. Compared with the previous year this is a decrease of 22 per cent in the quantity and 28 per cent in the value of edible products exported and a decrease of 11 per cent in the value of nonedible products exported. Considering the balance of trade in the various groups of fishery products, the imports of fresh and frozen fish in 1929 were about 20 times the exports, which is practically the same ratio as in the year previous; the imports of salted, dried, smoked, or preserved fish were practically the same as the exports in 1929, whereas the exports were slightly greater in the previous year. The imports of canned and fresh shellfish in 1929 were about 3 times the exports, while in the previous year, they were slightly over twice asmuch. The exports of other edible fishery products in 1929 were 7 times the imports, which is a considerably larger ratio than in the previous year. The imports of marine animal oils in 1929 were about 16 times the exports, which is a larger ratio then in the previous year.

Their catch amounted to 694,286,086 pounds, valued at $29,072,566. Thisis an increase of 15 per cent in the catch and 13 per cent in the value of the catch as compared with the quantity and its value for 1928. Of the total catchin 1929, 646,541,278 pounds, valued at $20,881,104, were fish, and 47,744,808 pounds, valued at $8,191,462, were shellfish and miscellaneous products, 192 U. 8.

Other products were valued individually at less than $1,000,000. The industries related to the fisheries of the New England States gave employment to 13,815 persons, of whom 404 were engaged in transporting fishery products, 3,595 were in the wholesale trade and received $5,285,740 in salaries and wages, 7,872 were in the manu- facturing industry and received $3,651,253 in salaries and wages, . and 1,944 were fishermen who prepared fishery products and are duplicated in the total number of fishermen employed as shown above. There were 292 establishments in the wholesale trade handling primary products and 162 establishments were in the man- ufacturing industry.

MAINE The fisheries and industries related to the fisheries of Maine in 1929, including 1 transporter and 2 wholesale firms in New Hampshire, employed 12,550 persons. This is 35 per cent more than the number employed in these fisheries during 1928. Of the total number of persons, 5,593 were fishermen, 235 were employed on transporting FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 197 vessels, 372 in the wholesale trade, and 6,350 in manufacturing in- dustries. Of the fishermen 429 also were engaged in the manufacture of prepared fishery products. The total catch amounted to 162,939,491 pounds, valued at $4,897,- 170. This is an increase of 32 per cent in the catch and 16 per cent in the value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value for 1928. Of the total value of the catch, that of lobsters accounted for 40 per cent; cod, 11 per cent; clams, 10 per cent; and haddock and sea herring, each 9 per cent. Of the total weight of the catch, that of sea herring accounted for 56 per cent; cod, 11 per cent; had- dock, 9 per cent; hake, 6 per cent; and clams and lobsters, each 4 per cent. OPERATING UNITS BY GEAR The catch of fishery products in Maine during 1929 was taken by 5,593 fishermen who used 79 motor vessels, 5,601 motor and other small fishing boats, and 20 major types of gear. The vessels had a combined capacity of 1,007 net tons. The fisheries accounting for the greatest number of persons were the lobster-pot fishery employing 2,275 fishermen, the hand-line fishery employing 1,468 fishermen, the fishery with forks employing 1,290 fishermen, and the trawl-line fishery employing 1,092 fishermen. CATCH BY GEAR Four types of gear accounted for 83 per cent of the fishery products taken in the marine fisheries of Maine during 1929. Listed in order of their importance they were: Weirs, which accounted for 30 per cent of the catch; lines, 24 per cent; purse seines, 15 per cent; and haul seines, 14 percent. The catch by weirs was principally herring; that by lines was chiefly haddock, cod, hake, pollock, and cusk; that by purse seines, principally herring and mackerel; and that by haul seines, almost exclusively herring. OPERATING UNITS BY COUNTIES Hancock County was foremost in the number of persons fishing, accounting for 31 per cent of the total. Washington County followed with 20 per cent. Other counties employing a considerable number of fishermen were Cumberland, Knox, and Lincoln. Cumberland County accounted for 42 per cent of the total number of fishing vessels, and Knox County followed with 27 per cent. Hancock County led in the number of motor and other small fishing boats, accounting for 26 per cent of the total. Washington followed with 25 per cent. CATCH BY COUNTIES Fishing was prosecuted in the marine waters of 10 counties in Maine during 1929. Ranked according to value the fisheries of Cum- berland County were most important, accounting for 21 per cent of the total catch and 24 per cent of the total value of the catch. Knox County was next in the value of the catch accounting for 21 per cent of the total quantity and 20 per cent of the total value. Other important counties listed in order of their importance with respect to the value of the catch were Hancock, Washington, and Lincoln. 198 U. S.

NEW HAMPSHIRE The fisheries of New Hampshire in 1929 employed 51 persons, which is 4 per cent less than the number employed in 1928. Only 1 trans- porter and 2 wholesale plants were operated in this State; therefore the vessel and the number of persons engaged, salaries and wages, and products of these establishments are included under Maine. The entire number of persons shown above were fishermen. The total catch amounted to 378,048 pounds, valued at $52,071. This is an increase of 58 per cent in the catch and 16 per cent in the value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value in 1928. Of the total value of the catch, lobsters accounted for 80 per cent and haddock 7 per cent. Of the total weight of the catch, lobsters accounted for 33 per cent; haddock, 24 per cent; and alewives, 15 per cent. The fisheries of New Hampshire are confined to Rocking- ham County. OPERATING UNITS BY GEAR The catch of fishery products in the marine waters of New Hamp- shire during 1929 was taken by 51 fishermen, 77 motor and other small fishing boats, and 4 major types of gear. The lobster pot fishery alone accounted for 41 of the fishermen. 206 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES CATCH BY GEAR Two types of gear accounted for 73 per cent of the fishery products taken in the marine fisheries of New Hampshire during 1929. Of these gears, lines were the most important, accounting for 40 per cent of the catch. Lobster pots followed with 33 per cent. The catch by lines was principally cod, haddock, hake, and pollock, and that by lobster pots was exclusively lobsters.

Of the fishermen, 1,515 were also engaged in the manufature of prepared fishery products. The total catch amounted to 447,689,124 pounds valued at $18,- 052,486. This is an increase of 18 per cent in the catch and 15 per cent in the value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value in the previous year. Of the total value of the catch, that of haddock accounted for 40 per cent; cod, 12 per cent; mackerel, 11 FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 207 per cent; and flounders, 8 per cent. Of the total weight of the catch, that of haddock accounted for 48 per cent; cod, 14 per cent; mackerel, 12 per cent; and flounders, 8 per cent.

CONNECTICUT The fisheries and industries related to the fisheries of Connecticut in 1929 employed 2,335 persons, which is 7 per cent less than the number employed in 1928. Of the total number of persons, 1,708 were fishermen, 10 were employed on transporting vessels, and 617 in the wholesale and manufacturing industries. The total catch amounted to 54,878,155 pounds, valued at $3,635,- 493, which is a decrease of 24 per cent in the catch but a gain of 10 per cent in the value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value in the previous year. Of the total value of the catch, that of haddock accounted for 36 per cent; oysters, 35 per cent; flounders, 9 per cent; and lobsters, 6 per cent. Of the total weight of the catch, that of haddock accounted for 51 per cent; oysters, 16 per cent; flounders, 15 per cent; and cod, 5 per cent. OPERATING UNITS BY GEAR The catch of fishery products in Connecticut during 1929 was taken by 1,708 fishermen, who used 99 motor vessels, 4 sailing ves- sels, 31 steam vessels, 792 motor and other small fishing boats, and 16 major types of gear. The vessels had a combined capacity of 6,905 net tons. The fisheries accounting for the greatest number of persons were the otter-trawl fishery, employing 599 fishermen, and the oyster-dredge fishery, employing 349 fishermen. Eee FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 225 CATCH BY GEAR Two types of gear accounted for 87 per cent of the fishery products taken in the marine fisheries of Connecticut during 1929. In order of their importance they were: Otter trawls, which accounted for 72 per cent of the catch; and oyster dredges, 15 per cent. The catch by otter trawls was principally haddock, flounders, and cod, and that by oyster dredges was exclusively oysters. OPERATING UNITS BY COUNTIES New London County was foremost in the number of persons fishing, accounting for 50 per cent of the total. New Haven County, fol- lowed, with 18 per cent. New London County also led in the num- ber of fishing craft, accounting for 49 per cent of the vessels and 40 per cent of the motor and other small fishing boats. CATCH BY COUNTIES Fishing was prosecuted in the marine waters of six counties of Con- necticut during 1929. Ranked according to value, the fisheries of New London County were by far the most important, accounting for 81 per cent of the total catch and 59 per cent of the total value of the catch. New Haven County accounted for 9 per cent of the catch and 21 per cent of the value. Fairfield and Middlesex Counties fol- lowed in order of importance with respect to value of the catch.

INDUSTRIES RELATED TO THE FISHERIES Transporting.—In 1929 there were 10 persons in Connecticut en- gaged primarily in transporting fishery products by means of vessels. In this trade five motor vessels, having a combined capacity of 44 net tons, were operated. Wholesale and manufacturing —There were 22 wholesale establish- ments engaged primarily in handling fresh and frozen products and one establishment engaged primarily in the manufacture of fishery by-products. These establishments employed 617 persons, who re- ceived $925,736 in salaries and wages. Manufactured products, consisting of menhaden products, fish meal from ground fish, cod and cod-liver oil, and oyster-shell products were valued at $220,043. 232 U. S.

One of these was exclusively a manufacturer and the other 3 only manufactured incidentally. The products manufactured, consisting of menhaden products, fish meal from ground fish, cod and cod-liver oil and oyster-shell products, were valued at $220,043. HISTORICAL REVIEW Twelve general surveys have been made for statistics of the fish- eries of the New England States in the 50 years from 1879 to 1929. The catch in 1929, which amounted to 694,286,000 pounds exceeded that in any year for which there are records, surpassing the previous peak year of 1889. Comparative statistics of the catch of each of the more important species are shown in the following tables.

This exceeded the amount landed for any year for which records are available, exceeding the amount landed in 1929 by 7 per cent. However, the value of the landings were 2 per cent less than the value of the fish landed in 1929. Of the total landings, 99 per cent consisted of fresh fish and 1 per cent of salted fish. The landings at Boston accounted for the lion’s share of those landed at the three ports in 1930, accounting for 285,257,478 pounds, valued at $10,870,586, or 81 per cent of the total quantity. This is an increase over 1929 of 11 per cent in amount but only 1 per cent in value. Landings at Gloucester in 1930 amounted to 47,359,467 pounds, valued at $1,348,087, or 14 per cent of the total quantity. This is a decrease of 12 per cent in amount and 11 per cent in value compared with the amount and value of the land- ings at this port in 1929. At Portland, 18,184,525 pounds of fishery products, valued at $566,779 were landed. This was 5 per cent of the total landings at the three ports in 1930. It represents an in- crease of 4 per cent in amount, and a decrease of 7 per cent in value compared with the landings in 1929. Species landed Among the landings of fresh fish, haddock far out- ranked other species in volume landed, the amount of all sizes in 1930 being 189,371,333 pounds, or 55 per cent of the total fresh fish. This is an increase of only 1 per cent over the amount landed in 1929. Of the total haddock landed 52 per cent were taken from Georges Bank, 26 per cent from South Channel, and 11 per cent from Browns Bank. The remainder (except for 9,593,470 pounds which were taken on banks off Canada) were taken from various other banks off the . panes States, principally on Nantucket Shoals and those near the shore. Cod was of next importance, although a very poor second. The landings of all sizes of this species fresh amounted to 64,528,811 pounds, or 19 per cent of thé total amount of fresh fish landed at the three ports in 1930. This is an increase of 30 per cent compared with the landings of fresh cod at the three ports in 1929. Cod was taken chiefly on Georges Bank, where 43 per cent of the catch was made. Considerable quantities were also taken on South Channel, Browns Bank, and various fishing banks along the shore. Mackerel landings, fresh, amounted to 33,433,723 pounds at the three ports, or about 10 per cent of the total landings of fresh fish. This is a decrease of 11 per cent compared with the landings in 1929. This amount is 77 per cent of the total catch of mackerel by the United States Atlantic mackerel fleet. Hake, with landings of 15,613,523 pounds, or 4 per cent of the total fresh-fish landings, ranked fourth in importance and increased 30 per cent over the landings of this species during the previous year. Flounders, a species which have become popular in the fishery during the past few years, ranked fifth in importance among the fresh fish, with landings of 14,406,737 pounds. This is about 4 per cent of the total landings of the fresh fish, and an increase of 33 per cent compared with the landings during 1929. 238 U. 8S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Pollock, with landings fresh of 13,976,971 pounds, or about 4 per cent of the total landings of fresh fish in 1930, ranked sixth in im- portance, and increased 32 per cent over the previous year. The landings of all other important varieties of fresh fish, amount- ing to a little over 4 per cent of the total, increased in 1930 over the respective amounts of their landings in 1929 except halibut and swordfish. Among the salted fish, cod was the most important species, with landings of 2,087,021 pounds. ‘This is 55 per cent of the total land- ings of all salted fish, and an increase of 86 per cent compared with the landings of this species in 1929. The landings of salted herring, which usually has been the most important salted fish landed by volume during late years, amounted to 1,563,576 pounds, or 42 per cent of the total. This is a decrease of 56 per cent compared with the landings of this species in 1929. The landings of salted hake, pollock, cusk, and halibut amounted to 30,837 pounds, and consisted mainly of salted cusk.

Of this group only the landings of salted hake show a decrease com- pared with 1929. The landings of salted mackerel amounted to 78,895 pounds, or 2 per cent of the total landings of salted fish. This is a decrease of 64 per cent compared with the landings of this species salted in 1929. Fishery by months.—During the first six months of the year the landings at the three ports were only slightly more than the landings during the latter six months. As a general rule the landings during the warmer months were larger than during the cooler months of the year. The total landings during the month of July were largest, and amounted to 40,978,410 pounds. Landings during September were second largest with 37,773,835 pounds, and those during April were third largest, amounting to 34,022,632 pounds. The smallest land- ings were made during December, and they amounted to 16,976,307 pounds. On an average slightly over 29,000,000 pounds were landed monthly. The following table gives the economic statistics obtained on the landings of fishery products at Boston, Gloucester, and Portland during 1930, for vessels of 5 net tons and upward, as measured by the United States Customs Service. The weights of fresh and salted FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED. STATES, 1930 239 fish given in this table represent the weights as landed from the vessels. Many of the fresh fish landed were eviscerated on the vessels. This is true of the ground-fish group, except the flounders. Swordfish are eviscerated and beheaded. Fresh mackerel, flounders, and herring are landed in the round. Species included under “‘other’’ are generally landed in the round. Salted ground fish are landed eviscerated and beheaded; salted mackerel eviscerated and split; and salted herring, gibbed. The values are those received by the fisher- man.

BIOLOGICAL ASPECT The fishing grounds of the North Atlantic, extending from Flemish Cap in 40° 06’ west longitude and 47° north latitude for a distance of about 2,000 miles to New York, provide an almost continuous extent of most productive fishing grounds. Fishing vessels landing fares at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., make their catches on certain of these grounds. In 1930 the fishing fleet landing fares at these three New England ports, and operating on the above-mentioned banks, numbered 441 steam, motor, and sail vessels, of over 5 net tons, as measured by the United States Customs Service. These made 12,494 trips to the fishing grounds, and were absent from port 61,461 days, or on the aver- age about 4.9 days per trip. This is 0.2 of a day longer than the aver- age length of a trip in 1929. Their catches of edible fish landed at the three ports amounted to 353,554,965 pounds when the salted fish had been converted to the basis of fresh gutted or round fish as landed. This does not represent the entire catch of edible fish of these vessels, for small quantities estimated at not more than 5 per cent of their total catch, were landed at ports in New England, other than these three, at New York City, and at ports in New Jersey. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 249 The fishing vessels landing fares at these three ports did not always operate the same type of gear throughout the entire year. At one season a certain vessel may be outfitted as a line trawler; at another season as a purse seiner; and at still another season for swordfish fishing with harpoons. Thus, vessels may be fished with two or more types of gear during the course of a year. In such a case the vessel is ; ae with others operating similar gear, while it is fishing that type of gear. From the total it will be noted that the grand total of the number of vessels operated, is exclusive of duplication, and that the total number of vessels operating each type of gear also is shown. Tine trawls.—A line-trawl fishery was prosecuted by 115 vessels in 1930. These vessels made 1,903 trips to 24 main fishing grounds, and were absent from port 11,999 days, or an average of 6.3 days per trip. Their catches aggregated 74,973,078 pounds, or 21 per cent of the total landings by vessels at the three ports. Of this amount, haddock constituted 50 per cent; cod, 32 per cent; and hake, 9 percent. Other species of importance in the catch by line trawls were cusk, halibut, and pollock. Of the total catch, 32 per cent were taken on Browns Bank, and 32 per cent on South Channel. Other banks on which considerable quantities of fish were taken by line trawls were Georges Bank, La Have Bank, Jeffreys Ledge, Gulf of St. Lawrence, and on miscellaneous banks along the shore. Hand lines—A hand-line fishery was prosecuted by 27 vessels in 1930. These vessels made 153 trips to 6 main fishing grounds, and were absent from port, 1,334 days, or an average of 8.7 days per trip. Their catches aggregated 4,968,226 pounds, or slightly over 1 per cent of the total landings at the three ports. Of this amount, cod consti- tuted 83 per cent; haddock, 6 per cent; and pollock, 4 percent. Only minor amounts of other species were taken by hand lines. Of the total catch, 44 per cent were taken on Georges Bank and 31 per cent on Cape Shore. Other grounds on which considerable quantities of fish were taken by hand lines are Nantucket Shoals and Browns Bank. Harpoons.—A fishery with harpoons was prosecuted by 91 vessels in 1930. These vessels made 330 trips to 7 main fishing grounds and were absent from port 5,399 days, or an average of 16.4 days per trip. The catch amounted to 3,300,084 pounds of swordfish and 1,750 pounds of other fish, making a total of about 1 per cent of the entire landings by vessels at the three ports in 1930. Of the total catch, 72 per cent was taken on Georges Bank. Otter trawls, large vessels—A fishery with otter trawls was prosecuted by 64 vessels of 91 net tons and over in 1930. These vessels made 1,038 trips to 8 main fishing grounds, and were absent from port 10,672 days, or an average of 10.3 days per trip (8.7 days in 1929). This is the same number of vessels that operated in 1929, although they made fewer trips and were absent fewer days than in 1929. Their catch amounted to 87,279,581 pounds, or 25 per cent of the total landings by vessels at the three ports. Of the total 66 per cent consisted of haddock, 19 per cent of cod, 6 per cent of hake, 5 per cent of flounders, and 8 per cent of pollock. The remainder of the catch consisted mainly of halibut. Of the total catch, 74 per cent was taken from Georges Bank and 18 per cent from South Channel. Only minor catches were made on the other grounds where large otter trawlers fished. 250 U. S.

Otter trawls, medium vessels —A fishery with otter trawls was also prosecuted by 73 vessels of 21 to 90 net tons, inclusive, in 1930. Medium otter trawls are referred to by some in the fisheries as “‘drag- gers.”” These vessels made 727 trips to 9 main fishing grounds and were absent from port 4,652 days, or an average of 6.4 days per trip. Their catches aggregated 20,320,439 pounds, or about 6 per cent of the total landings by vessels at the three ports. Of this, haddock constituted 64 per cent; flounders, 19 per cent; and cod, 14 per cent. Only small quantities of other fish were brought in by this type of vessel. Of the total catch, 45 per cent were taken on Georges Bank, and 39 per cent on South Channel. Only small quantities were taken on the other banks where these vessels fished. Otter trawls, small vessels—A fishery with otter trawls was also prosecuted by 69 vessels of 5 to 20 net tons, inclusive, in 1930. Small otter trawlers are referred to by some in the fisheries as ‘flounder draggers.”? These vessels made 547 trips to 7 main fishing grounds, and were absent from port 2,014 days, or an average of 3.7 days per trip. Their catches aggregated 4,834,017 pounds, or a little over 1 per cent of the total landings by vessels at the three ports. Of this amount, 49 per cent consisted of flounders and 33 per cent of haddock. Considerable quantities of cod and hake were also brought in by these vessels. Of the total catch, 57 per cent were taken on banks along the shore, and 22 per cent on South Channel. Catches by me type of vessels on the other banks where they fished were very small. V_-D trauwls (otter trawls), large vessels —A fishery with V—D otter trawls was prosecuted by 51 vessels of 91 net tons and over in 1930. The large number of vessels operating V—D trawls in 1930 is due to the fact that many of the regular otter-trawl vessels also carry a V—D type of trawl and for this reason there is some duplication within the large otter-trawl group and the large V—D trawl group. These vessels made 790 trips to 10 main fishing grounds, and were absent from port 7,206 days, or an average of 9.1 days per trip. Their catches aggre- gated 58,693,591 pounds, or 17 per cent of the total landings by vessels at the three ports. Of this amount 72 per cent consisted of haddock, 18 per cent of cod, 4 per cent of flounders, 2 per cent of hake, and 2 per cent of pollock. Of the total catch, 57 per cent was taken on Georges Bank and 24 per cent on South Channel. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 251 V-D trawls (otter trawls), medium vessels —A fishery with V—D otter trawls was prosecuted by 64 vessels of 21 to 90 net tons, inclusive, in 1930. These vessels made 1,101 trips to 10 main fishing grounds, and were absent from port 8,697 days, or an average of 7.9 days per trip. Their catches amounted to 43,902,614 pounds, or about 12 per cent of the total landings by vessels at the three ports. Of this amount, 80 per cent consisted of haddock, 12 per cent of cod, and 4 per cent of flounders. ‘The remainder was made up chiefly of hake and pollock. Of the total catch 56 per cent were taken on Georges Bank and 36 per cent on South Channel. Only minor quantities were taken on the other banks where these vessels fished. V-D trawls (otter trawls), small vessels—A fishery with V—D otter trawls was prosecuted by 2 vessels of 5 to 20 net tons, inclusive, in 1930. ‘These vessels made 11 trips to 3 main fishing grounds and were absent from port 89 days, or an average of 8.1 days per trip. Their catch, aggregating 274,899 pounds and consisting almost entirely of haddock, was taken principally on Georges Bank and South Channel. Sink gill nets.—A fishery with sink gill nets was prosecuted by 39 vessels in 1930. These made 3,614 trips to Jeffreys Ledge and banks along the shore and were absent from port 3,635 days, or an average of about 1 day per trip. The catch amounted to 16,793,933 pounds, or about 5 per cent of the total landings by vessels at the three ports. Of this amount, 53 per cent consisted of pollock, 28 per cent of cod, 10 per cent of haddock, and 8 per cent of hake. Practically the entire amount was taken on those banks along the shore. Drift gill nets —A fishery with drift gill nets was prosecuted by 90 vessels in 1930. They made 732 trips to Bay of Islands and banks along the shore and were absent from port 1,520 days, or an average of 2.1 days per trip. Their catch amounted to 3,523,617 pounds, or about 1 per cent of the total landings by vessels at the three ports. Of this amount about two-thirds consisted of herring, which were taken on Bay of Islands, and one-third of mackerel taken mainly on grounds near the shore. Purse seines—A fishery with purse seines (mackerel fishery) was prosecuted by 113 vessels in 1930. Thisis the same number that oper- ated in 1929. They made 1,543 trips to 10 main fishing grounds and were absent from port 4,220 days, or an average of 2.7 days per trip. Their landings at the three New England ports amounted to 34,667,329 pounds or 10 per cent of the total landings at the three ports. Of this amount, 93 per cent consisted of mackerel, and 3 per cent of herring. Of the total, 46 per cent was taken on grounds near the shore and 40 per cent on South Channel. Considerable quantities were also taken off Chatham and on Nantucket Shoals. Scallop drags or trawls—A fishery with scallop drags or trawls was prosecuted by 4 vessels in 1930. These made 5 trips to Boston and were absent from port 24 days, or an average of 4.8 days per trip. The catch consisted of 21,807 pounds of scallop meats. These were obtained from scallops taken on Nantucket Shoals, Georges Bank, and South Channel. Summary.—In general, the otter trawls and V-D trawls were the most important gear used by vessels landing fish at the three New England ports, catching 61 per cent of the total landings. Line trawls were next in importance, catching 21 per cent of the total. 63264—31——10 252 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Purse seines were third, with 10 per cent of the total. Sink gill nets accounted for 5 per cent and hand lines, harpoons, drift gill nets, and scallop drags the remaining 3 per cent. Among the fishing grounds Georges Bank was of most importance, furnishing 42 per cent of the fish caught by the vessels. South Chan- nel, which is near Georges Bank, was second, and furnished 26 per cent. About the same per cent of the total landings was caught on these banks during the year 1929. Shore grounds furnished 12 per cent, Browns Bank, 9 per cent; La Have Bank, 3 per cent; and Nan- tucket Shoals, 2 percent. All of these grounds, except La Have Bank, are off the United States. The catch on any one of the other banks or grounds, where fishing was prosecuted by vessels, furnished less than 4,000,000 pounds each. The fishery products landed at the three ports by vessels are taken chiefly on fishing grounds off the United States west of 66° west longi- tude. In 1930 these grounds furnished 93 per cent of the total land- ings by vessels at the three ports. Those fishing grounds off the Canadian Provinces east of 66° west longitude furnished 6 per cent; while those off Newfoundland, also east of 66° west longitude, fur- nished about 1 per cent. The large catch on grounds off the United States is influenced by the large catches by otter trawls on Georges Bank, South Channel, Browns Bank, and Nantucket Shoals, which fishing grounds are suited to this type of gear, and which are comparatively near packing centers.

The season was characterized by good runs of medium and large fish in the southern area off Block Island, and in South Channel up to the end of July. At that time the catch was 42 per cent above that of the previous year. Then the large fish disappeared and small year- lings made up most of the catch during August, September, and October. They were not exceedingly abundant and the catch dropped off severely. In fact, landings during October were almost negligible. The net fishery off Cape Ann in November yielded only moderate quantities. Statistical summaries appear in the accompanying tables. As heretofore, only the purse seine and drift gill net fisheries have been included. They have been designated as ‘‘seiners”’ and “‘netters,”’ respectively. Because of their importance in certain seasons, boats under 5 net tons and fishing with purse seines or gill nets have been included insofar as data were available. The catch of shore gear, 50 So MILLIONS OF POUNDS FiGuRE 15.—Catch of mackerel in the North Atlantic fishery, 1905-1930 such as pound nets and traps, were omitted. Practically all of the statistics were collected by the bureau’s agents at Cape May, N. J., New York City, N. Y., Boston, Gloucester, and Woods Hole, Mass., and Portland, Me. A few of the landings, particularly at ports not having a bureau representative, were secured from unofficial sources and often consist of estimated, rather than ‘‘weighed-out” fares. The error involved is probably well under 5 per cent in the vessel fishery. The figures on the boat fishery are probably less complete. The catch of bull’s-eye mackerel, Scomber colias, was not included. It amounted to 450,140 pounds as compared with 54,170 pounds in the previous year. Southern jishery.—This includes the catch of mackerel in waters off New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. The area is bounded on the east by longitude 72° W., which passes through the eastern end of Long Island about 9 miles west of Montauk Point. Most of the vessels participating in this fishery sailed south from Gloucester during the first and second weeks of April. The first catch was made by netters on April 9 and landed at Wildwood, N. J., on April 10. At this season of the year the seiners operate only on dark nights. The netters may fish on both dark and moonlit nights, but usually 264. U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES most of their landings are concentrated during the bright-night periods. In 1930 the bright nights were from April 10 to 18 and May 4 to 12, preventing the seiners from fishing at the beginning and the end of the normal southern fishery. Fifty-one vessels went south for this fishery, 22 fishing regularly from April 19 to May 29. Altogether the seining fleet landed 3,341,- 362 pounds as compared with 3,233,521 pounds in the previous year. Netters operated in this area from April 9 to June 6, 40 vessels fishing regularly. Together with 11 other vessels, they caught 3,874,147 pounds as compared with 2,952,938 pounds in 1929. Doubt- less the netter catch would have been larger had it not been for bad weather in the early days of the season. Block Island fishery—This includes the operations off southern New England between longitude 72° W., and a line drawn 145° from true north from Sankaty Head, Nantucket. Most of the seining took place in this area between May 19 and June 24 with a few vessels continuing as late as July 9. During this period 58 vessels fished regularly while 24 others participated part of the time. With seining continuing longer than usual, the catch aggre- gated 8,309,180 pounds as compared with 3,004,270 pounds in 1929. During the summer, especially the latter part when mackerel were scarce, six more trips totaling 74,820 pounds were landed from this area. Netters, from May 12 to June 7, with a few continuing to June 25, caught 227,174 pounds in this area as compared with 246,860 in the previous year. Gulf of Maine.—This region includes all of the waters from Nan- tucket Shoals to Nova Scotia. Most of the mackerel seining was done in the offing of Cape Cod and in Massachusetts Bay. Some mackerel were caught from Thatchers Island north to Monhegan, Me., but the fishing to the northward was not particularly good. Most of the seiners shifted their fishing operations from the Block Island region to the Gulf of Maine about June 22, but a few trips were made as early as May 30. There was an exceptionally good run of large and medium mackerel during the latter part of June and up to the end of July, but thereafter ed fishing became poor and most of the landings consisted of small sh. Due to the dearth of mackerel and unusually bad weather many of the seiners pulled out of the fishery during October, only a few landing trips during the latter half of the month. There were 98 seiners fishing in this region, 65 of them continuing regularly during most of the season. Up to July 31 the catch was ahead of the previous year, but as a result of the decrease which occurred during the late summer the seine catch was 26,137,851 pounds as compared with 35,072,022 in 1929. During the month of June, nine netters caught 138,290 pounds compared to 165,312 pounds during the equivalent period the previous ear. The fall netting season lasted from about the middle of October to the middle of December with the catch very light during the last several weeks; 75 vessels, of which 52 fished regularly, landed 993,461 pounds as compared with 566,712 the previous year. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 265 Cape Shore fishery—Due to the exceptionally good fishing in the Block Island region during June, only two seiners made trips to the offing of Nova Scotia in 1930. Their catch, landed June 9 and 10, amounted to 60,600 pounds, as compared with 884,900 pounds landed in 15 trips during the previous year.

FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 267 FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES During 1929 the value of the catch of fishery products in the Middle Atlantic States (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware) exceeded that in any year for which there are records. This was due mainly to the increased production of oysters. These fisheries gave employment to 10,491 fishermen or 5 per cent more than in 1926, the most recent year for which records are available prior to 1929. Of the total number of fishermen employed during 1929, 4,787 regular fish- ermen were engaged on vessels, and 2,756 regular and 2,948 casual fish- ermen were employed in the shore and boat fisheries. Their catch amounted to 190,772,611 pounds, valued at $14,137,608. This is an increase of 14 per cent in the catch and 13 per cent in the value of the catch as compared with the quantity and its value for 1926. Of the total catch in 1929, 120,024,529 pounds, valued at $3,732,564, were fish; and 70,748,082 pounds, valued at $10,405,044, were shellfish and miscellaneous products.

Other products of importance were bay and sea scallops, 2,286,636 pounds of meats, valued at $528,335; squeteagues or ‘‘sea trout,” 10,883,804 pounds, valued at $464,800; flounders, 9,954,150 pounds, valued at $441,006; lobsters, 1,425,228 pounds, valued at $376,251; butterfish, 5,619,956 pounds, valued at $373,959; and bluefish, 3,828,911 pounds, valued at $354,370. Other products were valued individually at less than $300,000. The industries related to the fisheries of the Middle Atlantic States gave employment to 4,846 persons, of whom 284 were engaged in transporting fishery products, 3,747 were in the wholesale trade and received $5,347,875 in salaries and wages, and 815 were in the manu- facturing industry and received $891,225 in salaries and wages. There were 345 establishments in the wholesale trade handling primary products and 56 were in the manufacturing industry. The latter manufactured products, valued at $8,174,922, consisting principally of marine-shell products from imported shell, mussel-shell products from fresh-water shell, canned sturgeon caviar, and canned clams. 63264—31——11 ; 268 U.

In this trade two motor vessels, having a combined capacity of 14 net tons, were operated. Both of these vessels were between the capacity ranges of 5 and 10 net tons. Wholesale—There were 15 establishments in Delaware engaged primarily in handling fresh and frozen products. These establish- ments employed 184 persons, who received $35,950 in salaries and wages. Manufacturing—There were five establishments in Delaware in 1929 engaged primarily in the manufacture of fishery products or by-products. ‘They employed 183 persons, who received $53,550 in salaries and wages. The products manufactured, consisting of sturgeon caviar, menhaden products, and king crab scrap, were valued at $418,841. Detailed statistics of most of the production of by-products may be obtained from Fisheries Document No. 1095, entitled “Fishery Industries of the United States, 1929,” FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 307 w Industries related to the fisheries of Delaware, 1929 TRANSPORTING Items Number Persons engaged on transporting vessels_____._-_....___--____- Ee eer ee eee a | gee i Transporting vessels: WOT SSS ed GTR) 2S ane Be eS ee ee ee eS 2 PLOLalsieinconnarete- == ann. = eee gS rele SL ed) | te ee 14 WHOLESALE Items Kent Newcastle Sussex Total ROSAS THO S250 boar rin eee ei «ab tend Foe ey 3 6 6 15 Persons engaged: TERE T)0) 1S) Roepe eee = ee SE SS Bh ie oe ae 12 7 11 30 Vago Garners 22.2832 2 Fob ee ee obs ot- eee 46 8 100 154 AiG LOW HeG OnArnerseee.

HISTORICAL REVIEW _. Thirteen general surveys have been made for statistics of the fisheries of the Middle Atlantic States during the 50 years from 1880 to 1929. The catch for 1880 amounted to 408,202,000 pounds, the largest on record. Since that time the catch has continued to de- crease with the second smallest catch on record shown for 1929 when 190,773,00 pounds were taken.

VESSEL FISHERIES AT NEW YORK CITY AND GROTON, CONN. During 1930 fishing vessels of 5 net tons capacity and over landed 57,255,000 pounds of fishery products at New York City and Groton. Conn. This is 24 per cent less than the landings at these ports in 1929 and also is less than the landings in 1928. However, the land- ings of 1930 were considerably greater than for any other year since 1921. There were decreases in practically every species of import- ance landed at these ports. The landings of haddock amounted to 36,540,000 pounds, accounting for 64 per cent of the total; those of flounders amounted to 6,951,000 pounds, or 12 per cent of the total; cod, 3,981,000 pounds, or 7 per cent of the total; mackerel, 3,602,000 pounds, or 6 per cent of the total; and tilefish, 2,907,000 pounds, or 5 per cent of the total. The total landings of all other species amounted to about 6 per cent of the total. The only important species which showed an increase in landings over 1929 were mackerel and tilefish. 3 Statistics of the landings of fish by vessels of 5 net tons and over at New York City have been collected during the past few years by J. H. Matthews, executive secretary, United States Fisheries Association. These have been forwarded to the bureau, where they have been compiled. Since November, 1927, sta- tistics of the landings of fish by vessels at Groton, Conn., have been included with those for fish landed at New York City, because at that time one of the firms packing fish at New York City moved its plant to Groton, thus requiring its trawlers to unload at Groton. By including the landings at Groton, the figures since November, 1927, are comparable with those for previous years. The statistics at both ports are combined to avoid disclosing individual enterprise.

The catch amounted 312 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES to 61,441 shad, having a weight of 206,504 pounds, and a value to the fishermen of $33,372. This is an increase of 9 per cent in both number of shad and their value as compared with the production in 1929. The price per pound received by the fishermen in 1930 varied but little from that obtained during the previous year. The catch of shad taken by drift gill nets accounted for 72 per cent of the total and that by stake gill nets accounted for 27 per cent. Approximately 1 per cent of the catch was made by gear which was fished primarily for other species.

Of the total number of persons, 8,429 were fishermen, 423 were employed on trans- porting vessels, 3,580 in the wholesale trade, and 530 in manufac- turing industries. Of the fishermen, 53 also were engaged in the manufacture of prepared fishery products. The total catch amounted to 63,387,608 pounds, valued at $4,294,959, which is an increase of 11 per cent in the catch but a decrease of 12 per cent in the value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value in 1925. Of the total value of the catch, that of oysters accounted for 57 per cent; crabs, 19 per cent; and striped bass and shad, each, 5 per cent. Of the total weight of the catch, that of crabs accounted for 44 per cent; oysters, 28 per cent; alewives, 9 per cent; and squeteagues or ‘‘sea trout,’’ 5 per cent.

VIRGINIA The fisheries and industries related to the fisheries of Virginia in 1929 employed 14,320 persons, which is a decrease of 26 per cent, as compared with the number employed in 1925—the most recent year for which comparable data are available. Of the total number of persons, 10,041 were fishermen, 432 were employed on transporting vessels, 2,918 in the wholesale trade, and 929 in the manufacturing industries. Of the fishermen, three also were engaged in the manu- facture of prepared fishery products. The total catch amounted to 211,285,829 pounds, valued at $7,285,669, which is a decrease of 24 per cent in the catch and 20 per cent in the value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value in 1925. Of the total value of the catch, that of oysters 326 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES accounted for 33 per cent; shad, 19 per cent; menhaden, 11 per cent; crabs, 9 per cent; and croakers, squeteagues, and clams, each 5 per cent. Of the total weight of the catch, that of menhaden accounted for 47 per cent; crabs, 15 per cent; oysters, 12 per cent; croakers, 7 per cent; and alewives, 6 per cent. OPERATING UNITS BY GEAR The catch of fishery products in Virginia during 1929 was taken by 10,041 fishermen, who used 30 steam vessels, 92 motor vessels, 17 sailing vessels, 7,639 motor and other small fishing boats, and 14 major types of gear. The vessels had a combined capacity of 4,469 net tons. The fisheries accounting for the greatest number of per- sons were the fishery with tongs employing 4,250 fishermen, the pound-net fishery employing 2,139 fishermen, the trot-line fishery employing 1,054 fishermen, and the purse-seine fishery employing 1039 fishermen. CATCH BY GEAR Five types of gear accounted for 96 per cent of the fishery products taken in the fisheries of Virginia during 1929. Listed in order of their importance they were: Purse seines, which accounted for 47 per cent of the catch; pound nets, 23 per cent; lines and tongs, each, 10 per cent; and dredges, 6 per cent. The catch by purse seines was exclusively menhaden; that by pound nets was chiefly alewives, croaker, squeteagues or ‘‘sea trout,” and shad; that by lines almost exclusively crabs; that by tongs principally oysters; and that by dredges consisted of crabs, oysters, and scallops. OPERATING UNITS BY COUNTIES Accomac County was foremost in the number of persons fishing, accounting for 17 per cent of the total. Northumberland County followed, accounting for 14 per cent. Other counties employing a considerable number of fishermen were Lancaster, Middlesex, North- ampton, Mathews, York, and Gloucester. York County accounted for 29 per cent of the total number of fishing vessels, Northumber- land County accounted for 19 per cent, and Elizabeth City County, 17 per cent. Accomac County led in the number of motor and other small fishing boats, accounting for 21 per cent of the total. North- ampton followed with 13 per cent. CATCH BY COUNTIES Fishing was prosecuted along the coast and in the coastal rivers and bays of 31 counties in Virginia during 1929.

In this trade, 2 steam vessels, 231 motor vessels, and 2 sailing vessels, having a combined capacity of 2,816 net tons, were operated. The size of vessel in most popular use ranged from 5 to 10 net tons. Wholesale——There were 152 wholesale establishments in Virginia engaged primarily in handling fresh and frozen products. These establishments employed 2,918 persons, who received $1,133,580 in salaries and wages. Accomac County accounted for 68 of these — establishments.

HISTORICAL REVIEW Twelve general surveys have been made for statistics of the Chesa- peake Bay States during the 50-year period from 1880 to 1929. The catch for 1929, amounting to 274,673,000 pounds, was considerably less than that in any year since 1888. The largest catch was made in 1920, when 530,750,000 pounds were taken. Comparative statis- tics for the catch of each of the more important species are shown in the following tables.

SHAD AND ALEWIFE FISHERIES OF THE POTOMAC RIVER ~ The shad and alewife fisheries of the Potomac River were prose- cuted by 608 fishermen in 1930 or 21 per cent less than in 1929. These fishermen used 440 motor and other small boats, 405 pound nets, 698 gill nets having a combined area of 343,902 square yards, and 1 haul seine having a length of 100 yards. The catch of shad amounted to 175,150 in number, with a weight of 601,193 pounds, valued at $98,041 to the fishermen. This is a decrease of 43 per cent in the weight of the catch as compared with that for the previous year, and is less in weight than the catch for any year for which there are records since 1896, except 1924. The average price per pound as received bythe fishermen increased from 13.5 cents per pound in 1929 to:16.3 cents per pound in 1930. More than nine-tenths of the catch was made by Virginia fishermen and was taken largely by pound nets in Northumberland County. The catch by Maryland fishermen was taken chiefly by gill nets in Charles _ County and by pound nets in St. Marys County. ~~ The catch of roe shad amounted to 47 per cent of the total number of shad taken. In 1929 the catch of roe shad amounted to 54 per cent of the total number. ona ets 342 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES The collection of shad eggs at the bureau’s hatchery at Fort Hum- phreys amounted to less than 3,000,000 eggs in 1930, while during 1929, this station hatched 65 851 000 shad. The unsuccessful egg collecting operations are attributed to the hight run of shad brought about by drought and low-water conditions, which caused greater saline conditions farther up into the spawning grounds. The catch of alewives amounted to 7,785,500 in number, with a weight of 3,114,918 pounds, valued at $49,315. This is an increase of 1 per cent in the weight of the catch as compared with that for 1929, but is smaller than any other catch on record since that for 1915. The amount of the catch in 1915 was but little less than that made in 1930. The average price per pound as received by the fishermen decreased from 1.8 cents per pound in 1929 to 1.6 cents per pound in 1930. Nearly nine-tenths of the catch was made by Virginia fisher- men, largely in Northumberland County. The catch by Maryland fishermen was made chiefly in St. Marys County.

TRADE IN FRESH, FROZEN, AND SMOKED ‘FISHERY PRODUCTS IN WASHINGTON, D. C. The municipal fish wharf and market in Washington, D. C., was built about 14 years ago in the southwestern part of the city on an arm of the Potomac River. At the present time 18 fishery firms have stalls in this market. In addition four are located across the street from the market, and six elsewhere in the city. About one-half of the firms sell at wholesale exclusively, although each of the remaining establishments engages more or less in wholesaling fish in addition to selling at retail. Altogether the 28 above firms employed 136 persons, who received $181,787 in salaries and wages. Of the total employees, 78 were regularly employed by those firms at the municipal fish wharf. The municipal fish market is so situated that fishing boats may land their fish directly, although only about 10 per cent of the fish are received in this way. The greater part are received by truck from New Jersey, North Carolina, Maryland, and Virginia, the bulk of these arrivals coming from the latter two States. Fish arriving from the Atlantic coast, Gulf, Pacific coast, or the Great Lakes States by rail are transported by truck from the rail terminals to the markets, as they have no direct rail connections. ‘ Some of the fish from the vessels, boats, and trucks are sold at auction direct to the dealers. Several of the wholesalers also sell fish by auction to retail merchants and hucksters. However, the greater part of the business in the market, of both buying and selling, is transacted at a set price. During 1930 the receipts of fresh and frozen fishery products at the municipal wharf amounted to 8,926,026 pounds. This is a decrease of a little more than 3 per cent as compared with the receipts during 1929. However, it is an increase of approximately 12 per cent com- pared with the average receipts during the past five years. It is esti- mated that 3,000,000 pounds of fresh and frozen fishery products entered the District of Columbia direct from outside sources through hotels, restaurants, fish markets, and grocery stores. This, added to the amount received at the municipal fish wharf, would make a 344 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES total of nearly 12,000,000 pounds of fresh and frozen fishery products handled in the District of Columbia by all dealers during 1930. Virtually the entire amount was consumed in the district. However, a few hucksters from towns in Virginia and Maryland, bringing poultry and other products to market, buy fish here and sell them on their return trip. Some of these hucksters go as far as Pennsyl- vania and West Virginia towns. There has been very little change in the kind of fish handled in the municipal market in the past 10 years. Taking those species which constituted 75 per cent of the trade for the various years from 1921 to 1930, squeteagues or ‘‘sea trout” are the most important each year. Croaker has usually been second, river herring third, and oysters fourth. In 1930 the first three species mentioned held their places, and crabs and crab meat moved up to fourth place, - with haddock fifth, oysters sixth, and shad seventh. The trade at municipal fish wharf is most active during the months from March to November, the largest quantities being handled during the months of April and May. The unusual activity during these latter months can be accounted for chiefly by the large amount of river herring, croaker, and shad, which are handled during these two months. There is one public cold-storage warehouse in Washington which makes a practice of storing frozen fishery products. This is located directly across the street from the municipal fish market, and stores considerable quantities of the frozen fish sold through the market. This warehouse has direct rail connection with the main lines of the railroads. During 1930 three firms in Washington, D. C., smoked fishery products. Their production amounted to 486,500 pounds, valued at $48,410. Of this amount 454,000 pounds, valued at $39,240, con- sisted of herring, and 32,500 pounds, valued at $9,170, of whitefish. Most of these products were marketed in the city. The retail fish business in the District of Columbia is carried on by stores in the municipal market, retail fish markets, uptown grocery stores, meat markets, and fish peddlers. There are about 40 fish peddlers in the city who devote their entire time to selling fish, about 25 with horse and wagon and 15 with automobile trucks. This number greatly increases during April and May, when the season for shad, croaker, and river herring is at its highest. The number of fish peddlers slightly increased during the year 1930, which was due possibly to lack of employment in other lines. A large number of markets and grocery stores selling fish at retail now dress them for their customers and also sell large quantities of packaged fish. This has a tendency to decrease the number of fish peddlers since these latter do not make a practice of dressing the fish they market. The population of the District of Columbia on April 1,- 1930, according to figures collected by the United States Bureau of. the Census, was 486,869. The total consumption of fresh and frozen fishery products, in round weight, and smoked fishery products, as prepared, is estimated to be about 12,000,000 pounds in the city, making the per capita consumption of these products about 24 pounds annually.

Of the total num- ber of persons, 5,975 were fishermen, 85 were employed on transport- ing vessels and boats, 358 in the wholesale trade, and 382 in manu- facturing industries. Of the number employed on transporting vessels and boats, 8 represent a duplication of those persons shown as fishermen. There also were 361 fishermen yank 5 in the manu- a FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 3055 facture of prepared fishery products. These have already been included as fishermen. The total catch amounted to 217,595,293 pounds valued at $2,544,- 007, which is an increase of 53 per cent in the catch but a decrease of 3 per cent in the value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value in the previous year. Of the total value of the catch, that of menhaden accounted for 28 per cent; shad, 14 per cent; and squeteagues and oysters, each 10 per cent. Of the total weight of the catch, that of menhaden accounted for 80 per cent; alewives, 5 per cent; and croakers, 4 per cent. OPERATING UNITS BY GEAR The catch of fishery products in North Carolina during 1929 was taken by 5,975 fishermen, who used 80 motor vessels, 64 sailing vessels, 3,746 motor and other small fishing boats, and 16 major types of gear. The vessels had a combined capacity of 2,450 net tons. The fisheries accounting for the greatest number of persons were the fishery with rakes employing 1,071 fishermen and that with common haul seines employing 1,807 fishermen. CATCH BY GEAR Four types of gear accounted for 97 per cent of the fishery products taken in the fisheries of North Carolina during 1929. Listed in order of their importance they were: Purse seines, which accounted for 80 per cent of the catch; pound nets, 7 per cent; haul seines, 6 per cent; and gill nets, 4 per cent. The catch by purse seines consisted almost exclusively of menhaden; that by pound nets principally alewives, croakers and shad; that by haul seines chiefly croaker, spot, alewives, squeteagues, and mullet; and that by gill nets principally croaker, squeteagues, and mullet. OPERATING UNITS BY COUNTIES Carteret County was foremost in the number of persons fishing, accounting for 37 per cent of the total. Dare County followed with 10 per cent. Other counties employing a considerable number of fishermen were Brunswick, Onslow, Pender, and Currituck. Car- teret County also ranked first in the number of vessels, and motor and other small fishing boats operated, accounting for 55 per cent of the total number of fishing vessels and 35 per cent of the motor and other small fishing boats. Beaufort County and Pamlico County each accounted for 15 per cent of the total number of vessels, and Dare County accounted for 13 per cent of the small fishing boats. CATCH BY COUNTIES Fishing was prosecuted along the coast and in the coastal rivers and bays of 23 counties of North Carolina during 1929. Ranked according to value, the fisheries of Carteret County were most impor- tant, accounting for 70 per cent of the total catch and 45 per cent of the total value of the catch. Dare County was next in the value of the catch, accounting for 3 per cent of the quantity and 18 per cent of the value. Other important producing counties listed in order of their importance with respect to the value of the catch were Bruns- wick, Pamlico, Currituck, and Beaufort. 356 U. 8.

FLORIDA The fisheries and industries related to the fisheries of Florida in 1929 employed 10,918 fishermen, which is 1 per cent more than the number employed in 1928. Of the total number of persons, 9,003 were fishermen, 41 were employed on transporting vessels, 1,387 in the wholesale trade, and 487 in manufacturing industries. Of the fishermen, 127 were engaged also in the manufacture of prepared fishery products. The total catch amounted to 145,953,078 pounds, valued at $6,119, 947, which is an increase of 11 per cent in the catch and a decrease of 2 per cent in the value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value in the previous year. Of the total value of the catch, mullet accounted for 18 per cent; sponges and shrimp, each 14 per cent; and red snapper, 10 per cent. Of the total weight of the 63264—31——-18 380 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES catch, that of menhaden accounted for 35 per cent; mullet, 19 per cent; shrimp, 13 per cent; red snapper, 5 per cent; and Spanish mackerel, and catfish and bullheads, each 4 per cent. OPERATING UNITS BY GEAR The catch of fishery products in Florida during 1929 was taken by 9,003 fishermen, who used 106 motor vessels, 8 sailing vessels, 6,573 motor and other small fishing boats, and 19 major types of gear. The vessels had a combined capacity of 3,897 net tons. The fish- eries accounting for the greatest number of persons were the fishery with runaround gill nets, employing 2,498 fishermen, and the hand- line fishery, employing 1,950 fishermen. CATCH BY GEAR Five types of gear accounted for 95 per cent of the fishery products taken in the fisheries of Florida (including Lake Okeechobee) during 1929. Listed in order of their importance, they were: Purse seines, which accounted for 35 per cent of the catch; gill nets, 23 per cent; lines, 13 per cent; otter trawls, 13 per cent; and haul seines, 10 per cent. The catch by purse seines was almost exclusively menhaden; that by gill nets was principally mullet, Spanish mackerel, and squeteagues or ‘‘sea trout’’; that by lines was principally red snap- per, kingfish or ‘‘king mackerel” and groupers; that by otter trawls was principally shrimp; and that by haul seines chiefly mullet and catfish and bullheads. OPERATING UNITS BY COUNTIES Pinellas County led in the number of persons fishing, accounting for 12 per cent of the total. Escambia County followed, with 8 per cent. Other counties employing a considerable number of fisher- men were: Monroe, Franklin, Charlotte, and Bay. Escambia County accounted for 32 per cent of the total number of fishing ves- sels and Bay County accounted for 16 per cent. Charlotte County led in the number of motor and other small fishing boats, accounting for 9 per cent of the total. Monroe and Pinellas Counties followed, each accounting for 8 per cent. CATCH BY COUNTIES Fishing was prosecuted in the waters of 39 counties in Florida (including Lake Okeechobee) during 1929. Ranked according to value the fisheries of Pinellas County were most important, account- ing for 4 per cent of the catch and 18 per cent of the value of the catch. Escambia County was next in importance, accounting for 5 per cent of the catch and 8 per cent of the value. Other important counties, listed in order of their importance, with respect to the value of the catch, were: Nassau, Franklin, St. John, and Monroe. CATCH BY DISTRICTS Considered according to value of products taken during 1929, the west coast of Florida was by far the most important district in that State, accounting for 49 per cent of the total quantity and 63 per cent of the total value. The east coast of Florida accounted for 48 per cent of the total quantity and 34 per cent of the total value. ae Okeechobee accounted for 3 per cent each of the quantity and value.

In this trade 18 motor vessels, having a combined capacity of 296 net tons, were operated. The size of vessel in most popular use ranged from 11 to 20 net tons. Wholesale-—There were 246 wholesale establishments in Florida engaged primarily in handling fresh and frozen products. ‘These es- tablishments employéd 1,387 persons who received $747,243 in salaries and wages. The greatest concentration of these establishments was in Pinellas County, where 27 were operated. Manufacturing —There were 21 establishments in Florida in 1929 engaged primarily in the manufacture of fishery products or by- products. They employed 487 persons who received $327,694 in salaries and wages. The products manufactured, consisting princi- pally of canned shrimp and menhaden products, were valued at $1,866,495. Detailed statistics of most of the production of canned fishery products and by-products may be obtained from Fisheries Document No. 1095 ‘‘Fishery Industries of the United States, 1929.” Fishermen’s prepared products.—In addition to the output of pre- pared products by manufacturing firms there were 127 fishermen employed who prepared fishery products. Their output, consisting principally of salted mullet, amounted to 369,147 pounds, valued at $27,387. 398 U. S.

SPONGE FISHERY In the waters along the Gulf coast of Florida there is located the only commercial sponge fishery in the United States. During 1929 this fishery employed 855 fishermen, which is 5 per cent more than the number employed during 1928. Their catch amounted to 528,721 pounds, valued at $879,646. This represents a decrease of 5 per cent in the catch, but an increase of 3 per cent in the value of the catch as compared with the catch and its value for the previous year. The greater part of the catch consisted of sheepswool sponges, although there were considerable quantities of yellow and grass sponges and a small production of wire sponges. Operating units—In making the catch, the fishermen employed 5 motor vessels, 2 sailing vessels, 412 motor and other small fishing boats, 278 sponge hooks, and 51 diving outfits. The vessels had a combined capacity of 85 net tons. Marketing the sponges.—The greater portion of the catch landed at Tarpon Springs is marketed through the Sponge Exchange located there. During 1929 sponges, amounting to 378,514 pounds, valued at $706,645, were handled on the exchange. This represents 72 per cent of the quantity of the entire Florida catch and 80 per cent of the value. Transactions are made on the exchange at auction, and bidders represent merchants in various sections of this and foreign countries. 400 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Our imports of sponges in 1929, which originated mostly from Cuba, although considerable quantities come from the British West Indies, amounted to 856,515 pounds, valued at $1,091,129. Our exports during 1929 which were forwarded mainly to the United Kingdom, Canada, Argentina, France, Italy, Egypt, and the Nether- lands, amounted to 124,443 pounds, valued at $151,933. The net consumption of sponges in 1929 in the United States, computed by adding the volume of imports for domestic consumption to the domes- tic production and deducting the exports, amounted to 1,260,793 pounds, valued at $1,818,842. Sponges are utilized in the arts and industries, such as in applying a glaze to pottery, for the toilet, and for cleaning automobiles and other vehicles. Some also are used in surgical work. During 1930 sponges handled on the exchange amounted to 414,082 pounds valued at $802,938. This is an increase of 9 per cent in quan- tity and 14 per cent in value as compared with the quantity and value of the transactions on the exchange during 1929. However, it represents a decrease of 8 per cent in quantity and an increase of 14 per cent in value as compared with the average quantity and value of the transactions over the 5-year period from 1922 to 1926. It is estimated that the value of sponges sold outside of the exchange dur- ing 1930 amounted to $75,000.

Of the total number of persons, 2,447 were fishermen, 6 were employed on transporting vessels, 317 in the whole- sale trade, and 1,084 in manufacturing industries. The total catch amounted to 34,629,156 pounds, valued at $1,- 005,301, which is an increase of 13 per cent in the catch but a decrease of 5 per cent in the value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value in the previous year. Of the total value of the catch, oysters accounted for 45 per cent and shrimp 42 per cent. Of the total weight of the catch, oysters accounted for 54 per cent; shrimp, 13 per cent; and crabs, 4 per cent. OPERATING UNITS BY GEAR The catch of fishery products in Mississippi during 1929 was taken by 2,447 fishermen, who used 124 motor vessels, 14 sailing vessels, 1,184 motor and other small fishing boats, and 9 major types of gear. The vessels had a combined capacity of 1,885 net tons. The fisheries accounting for the greatest number of persons were the otter-trawl fishery employing 975 fishermen, the oyster dredge fishery employing 878 fishermen, and the tong fishery employing 513 fishermen.

HISTORICAL REVIEW Thirteen general surveys have been made for statistics of the fish- eries of the South Atlantic and Gulf States during the 50 years from 1880 to 1929. Beginning with a catch of 66,513,000 pounds in 1880 it constantly increased until 1918 when the second largest catch on record was taken, due principally to the large catch of menhaden in that year.

FISHERIES OF THE PACIFIC COAST STATES* During 1929 the value of the catch of fishery products in the Pacific Coast States (Washington, Oregon, and California) exceeded that in any year for which there are records. This was due mainly to the increased production of salmon and pilchard, or sardine. These fisheries gave employment to 19,992 fishermen, or 1 per cent more than in 1928. Of the total number of fishermen employed during 1929, 5,822 were engaged on vessels and 14,170 were employed in the shore and boat fisheries. Their catch amounted to 1,034,433,666 pounds, valued at $25,038,414. This is an increase of 47 per cent in the catch and 22 per cent in the value of the catch as compared with the quantity and its value for 1928. Of the total catch in 1929, 1,012,728,784 pounds, valued at $23,097,280, were fish; 16,166,888 pounds, valued at $1,572,437, were shellfish and miscellaneous prod- ucts; and 5,537,994 pounds, valued at $368,697, were whale products. Based on the value to the fishermen, salmon with a production of 141,892,471 pounds, valued at $9,607,043, was by far the most im- portant fishery product taken on the Pacific”coast. Pilchard, or sar- dine, ranked second with a production of 651,802,019 pounds, valued at $3,587,765. Other important species were yellowfin tuna, 37,398,- 661 pounds, valued at $2,200,366; halibut, 10,419,779 pounds, valued at $1,471,541; and skipjack or striped tuna, 26,997,611 pounds, valued at $1,080,771. Other products were valued_individually at less than $1,000,000. ‘Data on the operating units and catch of the fisheries of the Pacific Coast States have been’ taken largely from statistics collected by the various State fisheries agencies. Supplementary surveys, compilations, and analyses have been made by agents of this bureau in order that the figures may be presented in a manner comparable with those of other sections, 434 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES The industries related to the fisheries of the Pacific Coast States gave employment to 11,987 persons, of whom 310 were engaged in transporting fishery products, 1,373 were in the wholesale mdustry and received $2,300,500 in salaries and wages, and 10,304 were in the manufacturing industry and received $6,859,656 in salaries and wages. There were 120 establishments in the wholesale industry handling primary products and 169 establishments were in the manufacturing industry. The latter manufactured products, valued at $50,498,558, consisting principally of canned salmon, tuna and tunalike fishes, and sardines.

The most important product contributing to this catch was pilchard or sardine, the catch of which amounted to 323,381,282 pounds, valued at $1,787,597. Other important species were abalone, 682,474 pounds, valued at $136,495; salmon, 1,054,096 pounds, valued at $123,781; rockfishes, 1,641,049 pounds, valued at $75,955; and squid, 4,572,555 pounds, valued at $72,243. Operating units —The catch of fishery products in the Monterey district in 1929 was taken by 1,197 fishermen, 36 motor vessels, 285 motor and other small boats, and 10 major types of gear. The combined capacity of the vessels amounted to 526 net tons. Catch by gear.—Three types of gear accounted for 99 per cent of the fishery products taken in this district during 1929. Listed in the order of their importance, they were: Lampara nets, which ac- counted for 76 per cent of the catch; purse seines, 22 per cent; and lines, 1 per cent. The catch by lampara nets was principally sardine or pilchard, that by purse seines almost exclusively pilchard or sardine, and that by lines chiefly rockfishes, salmon, and mackerel.

HALIBUT FISHERY OF THE PACIFIC COAST 5 The halibut fishery of the Pacific coast, which is prosecuted both by United States (including Alaska) and Canadian vessels, ranks as one of the foremost fisheries of that section. In 1930 the total catch 5 To preclude the possibility of unwarranted comparison of figures given in this section with others for " years previous to 1927, it should be explained that the figures as herein compiled differ from those published in separate reports for the Alaska fisheries and the Pacific Coast States. The difference lies principally in the fleet classifications as between Washington and Alaska, though there is reason to believe that the figures on landings also are not comparable with those previously published, due to variable practice in the inclusion of United States caught halibut landed at foreign ports as well as the possible duplication of figures. The present compilation is a complete résumé of the landings of the United States fleet for the year 1930 at all Pacific ports except those in Oregon and California, without omission or duplication. The fleet classification has been applied arbitrarily by including in the ‘‘ Washington fleet” all vessels that land more than half of their catch in that State. All others were included in the “ Alaska fleet.’’ It has been necessary to use “hailing fares’’ for the weight of the landings at Seattle, Wash., and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, although the error therefrom is estimated to be less than 2 per cent. The Alaska data are based on actual weight of the fares. Halibut are landed heads on, but eviscerated. 480 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES by vessels of both nationalities amounted to 49,408,000 pounds, valued at $4,974,000. This is a decrease of 11 per cent in quantity and 26 per cent in value as compared with the catch in 1929. ‘The catch in 1930 was less than in any year during the 5-year perid, 1925-1929. Of the total catch in 1930, 83 per cent was taken by United States craft and 17 per cent by Canadian craft. Considered according to ports of landing, 51 per cent was landed at Canadian ports, 26 per cent at ports in the State of Washington, and 23 per cent at ports in Alaska. Prince Rupert, in British Columbia, ac- counted for the greater part of the Canadian landings due to its excel- lent rail facilities for transportation eastward and its close proximity to the fishingygrounds. UNITED STATES Operating units—In 1930 the halibut fleet of the United States (including Alaska) numbered 221 vessels that fished regularly for halibut. These vessels had a combined capacity of 5,387 net tons. They were manned by 1,435 fishermen and operated 8,049 skates of lines. In addition to the regular vessels, 80 other vessels and 80 boats landed halibut at times. ‘These were manned by 637 fishermen and operated 2,806 skates of lines. Catch.—The total weight of the catch as landed by all United States craft fishing for halibut amounted to 45,304,549 pounds, valued at $4,300,688. Of this amount, 90 per cent consisted of halibut, 7 per cent sablefish, 2 per cent “‘lingcod,’”’ and 1 per cent rockfishes. The regular halibut vessels accounted for 89 per cent of the total catch, while the vessels fishing incidentally and boats accounted for the remaining 11 per cent.

During 1930, a total of 38,850,197 pounds of fishery products, — valued at $3,462,304, were handled by Seattle wholesale dealers. This amount is exclusive of quantities received by transporting vessels or rail from Alaska or Canada. This represents a decrease of 2 per cent in quantity and 14 per cent in value as compared with the transactions during the previous year. Of the total quantity handled, 16,562,185 pounds, valued at $1,703,083, were landed by fishing vessels, an increase of 2 per cent in quantity and a decrease of 15 per cent in value as compared with the previous year. The vessels made 1,234 trips to the fishing grounds Sa Ao FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 483 during the year which is an increase of 106 trips over those in 1929. Halibut was the most important species taken by fishing vessels, accounting for 76 per cent of the catch. Sablefish accounted for 16 per cent; ‘‘lingcod,”’ 5 per cent; and rockfishes, 3 per cent. The catch by fishing vessels was taken off the Pacific coast from Oregon to Unalaska Island. Hecate Straits ranked as the most productive grounds, furnishing 33 per cent of the catch. Second in importance was Cape Flattery, which provided 27 per cent of the catch, while Portlock Bank ranked third, furnishing 10 per cent. The remainder of the catch was taken chiefly from fishing grounds west of longitude 145° W. Most of the catch by fishing vessels was made during the nine months from March to November, inclusive, which is due to the closed season for taking halibut during the winter months. During the 9-month period of greatest catches, landings averaged about 1,800,000 pounds each month. During 1930, 22,288,012 pounds of fishery products, valued at $1,759,221, were received by wholesale dealers from sources other than Alaska or Canada, or from vessels in the halibut fishery discussed above. Most of these were products taken in Puget Sound. This was 5 per cent less than the quantity received from similar sources in 1929 by Seattle wholesale dealers, and the value was 13 per cent less. The decrease in quantity was due to the smaller catch of humpback or pink salmon and consequently smaller quantities handled in the . markets as 1930 was the ‘‘off” year for this species. Of the total fishery products handled by wholesale dealers derived from sources other than the halibut fleet or from Alaska or Canada, salmon accounted for 85 per cent, and the remainder was largely crabs, herring, smelt, flounders, ‘‘lingcod,” sablefish, and steelhead trout. During the six months from May to October inclusive, 84 per cent of the years’ transactions of these products were handled.

In 1929 the catch amounted to 85,389,000 pounds. Since 1913 records of the catch in the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes are available as well as those for the United States. During the 5-year period from 1916 to 1920, inclusive, an average catch of 129,162,000 pounds was registered for the Lakes, while that in 1929 amounted to 115,037,000 pounds.

FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 519 MUSSEL-SHELL INDUSTRY OF THE LAKE FISHERIES Statistics of the mussel-shell industry of the lake fisheries were obtained for the year 1929 for the first time since they were collected as a part of the complete survey of the Great Lakes for 1922. The mussel-shell industry employed 988 fishermen during 1929 as com- pared with 563 in 1922. The value of the catch of mussel shells and pearls and slugs amounted to $349,647, which is an increase of 50 per cent as compared with the value of the catch in 1922. The catch of mussel shells amounted to 7,414,521 pounds, valued at $328,782, which is an increase of 19 per cent in the catch and 51 per cent in the value of the catch as compared with the catch and its value in 1922. The value of the catch of pearls and slugs was $20,865, which is an increase of 33 per cent as compared with the value in 1922. Con- sidered according to value, mussel shells were by far the most impor- tant product, accounting for 94 per cent of the total value of the catch. OPERATING UNITS The catch of fishery products in the mussel-shell industry of the lake fisheries was taken by 988 fishermen, 545 motor boats, 261 other small boats, 689 pairs of crowfoot bars, 110 tongs, 422 forks, 10 rakes, and 234 picks. The 10 rivers tributary to Lake Michigan accounted for over 99 per cent of the total number of fishermen employed and for over 99 per cent of the boats operated. The single river tributary to Lake Huron accounted for the remainder. Grand River accounted for 51 per cent of the total number of fisher- men employed and for 50 per cent of the boats operated. St. Joseph River accounted for 25 per cent of the fishermen and 26 per cent of the boats. Muskegon River accounted for 10 per cent of the fisher- men and 7 per cent of the boats. All these rivers are tributary to Lake Michigan. Michigan accounted for 87 per cent of the total number of fisher- men employed and for 85 per cent of the boats operated. Indiana accounted for 10 per cent of the fishermen and 11 per cent of the boats, and Wisconsin accounted for 3 per cent of the fishermen and for 4 per cent of the boats. CATCH Three types of gear accounted for 95 per cent of the fishery products taken in the mussel-shell industry of the Lake fisheries during 1929. By far the most important of these gears were crowfoot bars, which accounted for 67 per cent of the catch and 67 per cent of the value of the catch. Ranked next in order were forks, which accounted for 18 per cent of the catch and 18 per cent of the value of the catch. Picks were third, accounting for 10 per cent of the catch and 10 per cent of the value of the catch. The 10 rivers tributary to Lake Michigan accounted for 99 per cent of the catch and 99 per cent of the value of the catch. The single river tributary to Lake Huron accounted for the remainder. Grand River accounted for 54 per cent of the total catch and 55 per cent of the total value. St. Joseph River accounted for 19 per cent of the catch and 19 per cent of the value. Muskegon River accounted 520 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES for 11 per cent of the catch and 11 per cent of the value. All these rivers are tributary to Lake Michigan. The fisheries of the mussel-shell industry were prosecuted in 4 rivers in Michigan, 4 in Wisconsin, 2 in Indiana, and 1 in both Michigan and Indiana. Michigan accounted for 88 per cent of the total catch and 91 per cent of the total value. Indiana accounted for 7 per cent of the catch and 6 per cent of the value, and Wisconsin accounted for 5 per cent of the catch and 3 per cent of the value. BUTTON BLANK MANUFACTURING There were four establishments in the mussel-shell industry of the Lake fisheries engaged in the manufacture of mussel-shell products during 1929. They employed 42 persons, who received $37,218 in salaries and wages. The products manufactured consisted of button blanks, valued at $47,669, and miscellaneous products, valued at $1,125.

FISHERIES OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES The latest statistical canvass made of the fisheries and fishery industries of the Mississippi River and tributaries was for the calendar year 1922. The complete statistics for the canvass were published in the report of the division of fishery industries for 1923 and in Sta- tistical Bulletin No. 607. During 1922 the fisheries and fishery indus- tries of this region employed 19,122 persons, and the yield of the fisheries amounted to 105,733,734 pounds, valued at $4,503,521. Of the total catch in 1922 by far the most important product was fresh-water mussel shells which alone amounted to 51,768,173 pounds, valued at $1,050,592. This represents 49 per cent of the total weight and 23 per cent of the total value of the catch. A survey of the fresh- water mussel-shell fishery for 1929 shows a production of 46,937,479 pounds, valued at $996,137, for the Mississippi River and tributaries. 1, 125 FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 523 Catch of the fisheries of the Mississippi River and tributaries, 1922, with the total catch for certain previous years Species Total Species Pounds Value INU KUDASS = .2S acs. 5 eo scot cee 73, 554| $10,874 || Suckers_..-_-.-.-....-------- iowa =) £2'3_ 2623. 35 3_ Seite 190, 073 eO7S|Pacms he ree he F335 Stee Si Piialaneh: ~~ 225225. - Sake 17, 267, 177|1, 013, 692 || White bass_-_----.-.--------- Gary, German: * obec - 18, 338, 371] 872,128 || Yellow bass---...-.-.------- Catfish and bullheads----__-- 8, 092, 690} 713,461 || Yellow perch_---.-..-------- LOY 01 03 (= a ee big 423\) 49° Seeui| Ouher dish. 22-2 aan Drum, fresh-water, or sheeps- Shrimp LEM LLeLe sie td i 2 ees Seen 5, 260, 892} 290, 480 || Crawfish_.--...-----.

The catch amounted to 388,010 pounds, valued at $23,055—a decrease of 1 per cent in the catch and 27 per cent in the value of the catch as compared with the catch and its value for 1929. Compared with 1922, there was a decrease of 89 per cent in the catch. German carp was by far the most important species taken in this lake, constituting 67 per cent of the total catch and 56 per cent of the value of the catch. Fresh-water drum or sheepshead was second in importance, account- ing for 16 per cent of the catch and 19 per cent of the value. Other species of considerable importance were catfish and bullheads, and buffalofish.

BUREAU OF FISHERIES MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN LAKES PEPIN AND KEOKUK Statistics of the fisheries of the Mississippi River between Lakes Pepin and Keokuk were obtained for the year 1930 for the second time since they were collected as a part of the complete survey of the Mississippi River and tributaries for 1922. These two surveys have been made, as were those for Lakes Pepin and Keokuk, primarily to determine the biological and economic effects on the fisheries of this section following the construction of the Keokuk Dam; also, to fore- cast the probable effects of any subsequently constructed dams in this region. The fisheries of the Mississippi River between Lakes Pepin and Keokuk, exclusive of those for mussel shells, employed 607 fishermen during 1930 as compared with 675 in 1929. The catch amounted to 3,539,760 pounds, valued at $252,184, which is an increase of 13 per cent in the catch and 10 per cent in the value of the catch as compared with the catch and its value for 1929.

CATCH BY GEAR Two types of gear accounted for 92 per cent of the catch of fishery products taken in this region during 1930. First in importance were haul seines, which accounted for 66 per cent of the catch and 59 per cent of the value of the catch. Fyke nets ranked next, accounting for 26 per cent of the catch and 30 per cent of the value of the catch. OPERATING UNITS BY STATES Towa ranked foremost in the number of persons fishing in that part of the Mississippi River between Lakes Pepin and Keokuk, account- ing for 40 per cent of the total; Wisconsin ranked second with 32 per cent; Minnesota, third, with 20 per cent; and Illinois fourth, with 8 per cent. Jowa also ranked first in the number of fishing boats, accounting for 43 per cent of the total. Wisconsin followed with 30 per cent. CATCH BY STATES AND COUNTIES The fisheries of the Mississippi River between Lakes Pepin and Keokuk were prosecuted in 6 counties in Illinois, 8 in Iowa, 3 in Minnesota, and 6 in Wisconsin.

Their catch amounted to 616,000 pounds of fishery products valued at $49,080 to the fishermen. In making the catch, the fishermen used 1 motor boat, 38 sail boats, and 147 row boats. The gear employed consisted of 40 haul seines, 90 tangle nets (turtle), 113 cast nets, 297 lines, and 1,600 set pots. As the fishermen keep no records of their operations, it was impos- sible to separate the catch by species. In general, it may be stated that about one-third of the total catch was made by set pots, one-third by seines, and one-third by lines or other types of gear, and by hand.

FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 547 STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE METHODS OF COLLECTION In order that persons using the statistics in this report may judge as to their completeness and authenticity, there follows an outline of the methods employed by the bureau in collecting fishery statistics. It will be noted that several methods are used. Each, in so far as possible, is the most efficient that can be developed to accomplish the desired result with the available personnel. General fishery statistics —The purpose of collecting general fishery statistics is to obtain statistics on the catch of fishery products and its value as landed by the fishermen, the quantity or number of each kind of gear used, the number of fishing boats, the number and net tonnage of fishing and transporting vessels, the number of wholesale establishments, the amount of wages and salaries paid in these estab- lishments, the quantity and value of products prepared, and the number of persons engaged in each phase of the industry. The scope of the coastal surveys includes the commercial fisheries of the oceans, bays, and coastal rivers as far inland as commercial fishing is important. This usually coincides with the range of com- mercial fishing for anadromous species. Statistics of the fisheries of the Mississippi River include the fisheries of the Mississippi River proper, as well as all tributaries wherein commercial fishing for either fish, crustaceans, or mollusks is prosecuted. Statistics of the lake fisheries include those prosecuted in the Great Lakes, adjacent bays, and the international lakes of northern Minnesota, as well as certain rivers having outlets into these waters. General statistics of the fisheries for all sections of the United States have not been collected on an annual basis, although the data for 1929 include all the commercial fisheries of the marine and lake sections and the fresh-water mussel fishery of the Mississippi River and tributaries. In conducting these surveys it is the custom of the bureau to dis- patch agents to the districts to be surveyed early in the calendar year. They obtain statistics on operations during the previous cal- endar year, except that statistics of the oyster fishery are obtained for the season ending in the spring of the following year. The agents conducting these surveys are trained men or recruits working under the close supervision of trained men. Recruits are permitted to work individually only after proving a satisfactory aptitude for the work during their training period. While it is impossible for the few agents available to interview each fisherman in a given locality, the more important ones are visited and a sufficient number of those of lesser importance are interviewed to obtain reliable information on their production. In practice, virtually all wholesale firms are visited, as well as captains of fishing vessels (those of 5 net tons or over) and also all the more important shore fishermen and representative small producers. As an aid in locating fishermen, lists of vessel and motor-boat owners are obtained from local customs houses. It is also often possible to obtain the names of licensed commercial fishermen and occasionally some statistics of the catch from the various State fishery agencies. In the Great Lakes and Pacific Coast States such 548 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES exceptional cooperation has been obtained from the State agencies in recent years that only fragmentary surveys are made by the bureau to supplement missing data. Virginia has recently adopted a very complete statistical plan. For the Great Lakes and international lakes of northern Minne- sota the bureau obtains catch statistics and usually the value of the catch direct from the State records. To obtain data on the fisher- men, boats, vessels, and gear the bureau conducts such personal sur- veys among the fishermen as may be necessary to supplement the State records. Annual catch statistics are available since 1913. Agents are stationed at Seattle, Wash., who survey each of the Pacific Coast States annually to supplement data that are missing from the State records. In most cases the value of the catch is de- rived from dealers’ records and from estimates of prices. In Wash- ington and Oregon the offshore fisheries are surveyed separately for units of operation, catch, and value of the catch. In almost all other respects the statistics are as collected by the States. Statistics of the wholesale industry for this section are obtained largely by personal interview. The fisheries of Alaska are conducted primarily by large operators. Sworn statements are required from these operators concerning their operations. These are collected and compiled by the Alaska divi- sion of this bureau. Bulletins containing statistics for each district are released following the survey. Landings at certain important United States ports Statistics of the landings at the principal New England ports—Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me.—are similarly obtained. An agent is permanently stationed at each of these ports. His duties include the obtaining of statistics on the quantity of fish landed each day by each fishing vessel, the value of such fish landed, information concerning the date of departure and arrival of the vessel, and also a list of the grounds from which the fish were taken and the gear used in their capture. These statistics are forwarded to the bureau, where compilations are made. Monthly statistical bulletins are issued for these landings as well as annual bulletins summarizing the year’s activities. . Statistics of the landings of fish at Seattle, Wash., are collected by the bureau’s agent at that place. Landings are classified as those made by American fishing vessels and those received by Seattle wholesale dealers. The landings credited to United States fishing ves- sels are made by vessels operating distinctly as primary fishing units, usually in the offshore fisheries, while those credited as received by wholesale dealers are usually products of the shore fisheries collected _ mainly from points in Puget Sound and do not include fish received from Alaska or Canada, or landings made by the halibut fleet. Monthly statistical bulletins are issued for these landings as well as annual bulletins summarizing the year’s activities. Statistics of the combined landings of fish at New York City and Groton, Conn., are obtained by J. H. Matthews, executive secre- tary of the United States Fisheries Association. Statements of these landings are forwarded to the bureau, where they are compiled. These statistics have not included the value of the catch. Monthly bulletins including these data are not issued; however, a summary is published in this document. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 549 Statistics of the fishery products handled at the municipal wharf, Washington, D. C., are reported to the bureau daily by agents of the city health department. These are compiled on an annual basis. They are not published in bulletin form, but a summary of the year’s activities is published in the annual report of this division. Atlantic mackerel fishery —Complete statistics on the catch by the Atlantic mackerel fleet are obtained by combining the figures of mackerel landed at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., with those obtained by agents who in recent years have been stationed at other Atlantic ports where mackerel are landed. These agents obtain data on each fare of mackerel landed, similar to the data obtained on the landings by fishing vessels at the three New England ports. Complete statistics of this fishery appear only in the annual reports of this division, although the landings at the principal New England ports appear in the monthly and annual bulletins published for those ports. Shad and alewife fisheries —Due to the importance of the Hudson and Potomac Rivers in the production of shad, surveys for statistics of the catch, value of the catch, and operating units are made annu- ally. On the Potomac River similar statistics also are obtained for the alewife fishery. The surveys are conducted by agents in a man- ner similar to that employed in the collection of general fishery statistics, except that probably more fishermen are interviewed as great care is exercised to make these canvasses as accurate as possible. The State of New York obtains statistics for the fisheries of the Hudson River that closely parallel those desired by the bureau for this fishery, which alleviates the work on this river. Both Maryland and Virginia issue licenses for fishing, which give a very satisfactory list of fishermen for the agents surveying the Potomac River. Statistics of the shad and alewife fisheries are not published sepa- rately in bulletin form, but a summary of the year’s activities is published in the annual report of this division. Sponge market, Tarpon Springs.—A large proportion of the total output of sponges in Florida is handled through the sponge exchange at Tarpon Springs. In view of this, the bureau has arranged with a representative of the exchange to furnish statistics of the quantity and value of the sponges, by variety classification, handled through it annually. Statistics of the quantity of sponges handled through the exchange are not published in bulletin form, but a summary of the year’s activities is published in the annual reports of this division. Fisheries of Lakes Pepin and Keokuk.—As a means of ascertaining the effect of the Keokuk Dam upon the fisheries of the upper Missis- sippi River, annual statistics of the fisheries of Lakes Pepin and Keokuk are obtained by personal surveys conducted by employees of the bureau at the Fairport (Iowa) biological station and the La Crosse (Wis.) fish-cultural station. Their methods are like those employed in the general surveys. The statistics are not published in bulletin form, but summaries of production appear in the annual reports of this division. Fisheries of the Mississippi River.—Statistics on that portion of the Mississippi River lying between Lakes Keokuk and Pepin are col- lected as a part of the survey for the two lakes. Statistics covering this production are not available in bulletin form but a summary appears in this report. 550 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Annual surveys for statistics of the production of fresh-water mussel shells are made by questionnaire supplemented by personal canvass. A summary of the production appears in this report. Pacific halibut fishery.—Statisties of the Pacific halibut fishery are obtained by the bureau’s agent in Seattle, ‘aided by bureau repre- sentatives in Alaska, American consuls in British Columbia and the International Halibut Commission. The fleet classification has been arbitrarily applied by including in the ‘‘ Washington fleet”’ all vessels that land more than half of their catch in that State. All other American vessels of the halibut fleet are included in the Alaska fleet. Monthly and annual statistical bulletins are available on this fishery, being published along with the statistics of the landings of fishery products at Seattle, Wash. Canned fishery products and by-products trade—Beginning in 1921, the bureau has made annual surveys for statistics of the canned fishery products and by-products industries. These are begun the first week in January of each year for statistics of the production in the preceding year. The surveys occupy usually 6 to 9 weeks’ time. During this period agents visit each plant in the United States where there is a production of canned fishery products or by-products. They obtain statistics of the production and value of the production for each commodity. In rare instances, where plants are not easily oes by regular transportation facilities, returns are obtained by mail. Statistics on the production of marine pearl-shell products were included in this survey for the first time in the data for 1930. The value shown for canned products constitutes the gross amount received by the packer at the production point, no deductions being made for commissions or expenses. Statistics of the canned fishery products and by-products produced in Alaska are received on the same sworn statements that include statistics of the general fisheries. An annual statistical bulletin is issued on this trade. Cured fishery products trade.—Statistics of the products of this trade are collected as part of the surveys for general fishery statistics. A bulletin showing this production was issued for the year 1929. Packaged-fish trade—Complete statistics of the annual production and value of fish packaged in the United States are obtained as a part of the survey for statistics of the canned fishery products and by- products industries. These statistics are published in bulletin form annually. Cold-storage holdings of fish—An arrangement has been made with the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Department of Agriculture, whereby statistics of the cold-storage holdings of the various species of fish, by sections of the United States, are furnished to this bureau monthly. Included with statistics of the holdings is a statement of the quantity of the various species of fish frozen and also the holdings of cured fish. Bulletins showing these statistics are issued monthly as well as annually. : Foreign. fishery trade—Statistics on the foreign fishery trade are obtained from compilations made by the Bureau of Foreign and Do- mestic Commerce. Statistics of all known fishery products imported or exported are assembled in one table and published annually in the report of this division. FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 Rae COMPILATION PRACTICES Certain practices of importance used in the compilation of fishery statistics are explained below: Days absent—In computing ‘‘days absent” for vessels landing fares at the various ports, the day of departure and the day of arrival are included; thus, a vessel leaving port on the 8th of the month and returning on the 15th of the month will be shown as being absent eight days. Operating units—Operating units as referred to in this document include persons engaged and fishing craft and gear employed. Vessels —The term ‘‘vessels” refers to craft having a capacity of 5 net tons or greater. Incidental catch.—The term ‘‘incidental catch”’ refers to the catch of certain species by a type of gear which ordinarily does take ap- preciable amounts, if any, of such species. Percentages.—Percentages are usually shown as whole numbers, Fractions of per cents are dropped if less than five-tenths, and the per- centage is raised to the next higher integer if the fraction is greater than five-tenths. If the fraction is exactly five-tenths, the integer is raised or lowered to make it an even number. Converting—Many of the figures shown in the statistical tables published herewith have been reduced to thousands of pounds or dollars. In making these conversions the largest number from which a group of items is computed is raised or lowered to the nearest thou- sands place. If the number ends in an even 500, the thousands integer is raised or lowered to make it anevennumber. The individual items are changed to conform to the total thus obtained.

According to our present views, the program of scientific research shows a better balance between the theoretical and the practical aspects of fishery science and aquatic biology and a more satisfactory distribution of projects among the various sections of the country and the fishery industries than ever before. There are still many gaps in the program. Many fisheries are threatened by depletion. Means of augmenting the fish supply in many locali- ties must still be devised. Many of the very principles of fishery conservation still await discovery. However, through the adoption of a well-rounded research plan, made possible by the act of May 21, 1930, known as the 5-year construction and maintenance program for the United States Bureau of Fisheries, we are confident that results of practical benefit will accrue to the fishery industries, to the game-fish angler, and to the country at large that many times out- weigh the expenditures involved. Although the functions of the Bureau of Fisheries have been vastly enlarged since its establishment in 1871 by the organization of first, the division of fish culture, then the division of fishery industries, and later, the Alaska division, the division of inquiry still discharges many of the original functions of the old Fish Commission, especially those of prosecuting the necessary inquiries, chiefly biological in character, regarding the occurrence and the extent of declines in the number of food fishes in the coastal and interior waters, of discovering what the causes of such declines may be, and of devising and recommending means of overcoming such declines either by regulatory legislation or by more positive and direct means of augmenting the resource. The marine fishes of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts support a tremendous food industry. No longer are new fishing grounds being discovered as in former years, but the exploitation of the more productive grounds has increased rapidly during the past decade. Hence, the outstanding problem of these fisheries receiving first attention by the division of inquiry is that of proper husbanding of the supply in order that the resource may be utilized to the fullest extent compatible with its maintenance in a state of maximum pro- ductivity. In the North Atlantic area, the fisheries are being criti- cally studied to discover at the earliest moment signs of depletion PROGRESS IN BIOLOGICAL INQUIRIES, 1930 5a from overfishing, and the factors that govern fish reproduction are being examined so that advance information regarding fluctuations in abundance may be made available to the industry. On the Pa- cific coast inquiries of a similar sort are being prosecuted, and in the Alaska fisheries, the results of such investigations find immediate application in the drafting of fishery regulations imposed by the Federal Government. Fisheries in the interior waters, aside from those in the Great Lakes, are prosecuted primarily for sport and recreation. ‘The tremendous increase in the army of anglers, coupled with industrialization and resulting stream pollution in the eastern half of the country have placed an intolerable strain upon the fish supply; and investigations are, therefore, directed toward the intelli- gent restocking of depleted waters, toward the perfection of fish cultural methods for such purposes, and toward overcoming the pollution menace. The shellfish resources of our coast line have been an important food resource since earliest times, and recent researches as to their dietary values enhance rather than detract from their importance as a healthful food. Unrestrained harvest- ing of the natural supply has led to marked depletion in many areas, and the view is rapidly gaining popular acceptance that the adop- tion of modern methods of farming of oysters, clams, and other mollusks, either by private initiative or through rigid State regula- tion, is the only practicable means of restoring the productivity of our shellfish beds. The bureau investigations are, therefore, directed to that end with gratifying results that appear to be fully apprecia- ted by the industry. Minor problems of research conducted by the division all tend toward the solution of these practical problems of the fisheries. The period of exploration and description reached its height during the last century and has passed. More modern methods of experimental biological and statistical analysis have taken its place, and fisheries research is rapidly assuming the form and content of an exact science. In previous reports mention has been made of extensive cooperation in fishery research by States and other institutions. During the past year, cooperation still greater than ever before has been accorded. In addition to the occasional support and encouragement in specific projects such as the furnishing of boats, men, gear, or other services rendered by the various States and which have been continued through the past year, large-scale projects have been assumed by several States on scientific programs, supervised by the bureau’s staff. So complete has been the States’ confidence in certain under- takings that considerable funds have actually been deposited in the United States Treasury for disbursement on these cooperative projects by bureau investigators. Such cooperation, which is gratefully acknowledged, is in most cases mentioned in connection with the various investigations in the following pages. Investigators of the division of scientific inquiry have continued to participate in the activities of the North Amercan Council on Fishery Investigations. The seventeenth meeting of this organiza- tion was held in Washington on November 6 and 7, 1930. The nations represented were Canada, Newfoundland, France, and the United States. All of these nations have important interests in fisheries of the western North Atlantic and all of them are engaged to a greater 556 U. §. BUREAU OF FISHERIES or lesser degree in conducting scientific investigations with a view to developing and conserving the fishery resources. The purpose of the meetings of this organization is to coordinate the program of research of the several nations with respect to high seas fishery problems. In the membership of the council the United States is represented by Dr. H. B. Bigelow, chairman, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass.; by Henry O’Malley, Commissioner, and Elmer Higgins, chief of the division of scientific inquiry, both of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. Canada is represented by W. A. Found, Deputy Minister of Fisheries, Ottawa, and Dr. A. G. Huntsman and Prof. J. P. MacMurrich, of the Biological Board of Canada. Newfound- iand’s representatives were H. B. C. Lake, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, St. Johns, Newfoundland; and Dr. Harold Thompson of the Scottish Fishery Board, stationed for the present at St. Johns. France is represented by Dr. Ed. le Danois, director, Office Scien- tifique et Technique des Péches Maritimes, Paris. A wide range of subjects relating to the practical and scientific problems of the fisheries occupied the attention of the committee dur- ing its 2-day session. Reports were received from members of the committee and from a number of investigators attending the session as guests on investigations of the cod, haddock, mackerel, herring, squid, Passamaquoddy power project, ocean currents and tempera- tures, and fishery statistics. Particularly interesting contributions were made by O. E. Sette and W. C. Herrington, of the North At- lantic staff of the Bureau of Fisheries, who outlined their respective investigations on the mackerel and the haddock. One of the high lights of the committee’s session was Doctor le Danois’s exposition of his research in the waters off the coast of Europe and on this side of the Atlantic. Investigations of the water on the other side disclosed that mid-Atlantic water pushes to the northward every summer and recedes in the winter, and that this movement is particularly pronounced in certain years. Every 18 years there seems to be an exceptional movement of this warm water. It appears that in the years of this movement of tropic waters north- ward there is impaired success of the codfishery in its southern range on the Grand Banks, forcing the fishermen to fish the waters north- ward in order to make good catches. It has been because of the movements of the fish northward in the past two or three years that fishermen from Europe have come to Greenland in unprecedented numbers. While heretofore Newfoundland has been able to contribute little aid to scientific research in the North Atlantic region, it is at the present time embarking on such investigations on a considerable scale. Dr. Harold Thompson, well-known fishery investigator of the Scottish Fishery Board, has just completed a preliminary sur- vey of the requirements of a program of practical and scientific fishery investigations in Newfoundland, and is planning a sound program of study employing the facilities of a laboratory ashore and a research trawler at sea from funds to be furnished jointly by the Newfoundland Government and the British Empire Marketing Board. Through the efforts of the North American Council, Doe- tor Thompson’s proposed studies will be closely correlated with those a PROGRESS IN BIOLOGICAL INQUIRIES, 1930 557 conducted by the French authorities on the Grand Banks and by the other Governments. Much interest was shown in the program of investigation of the newly established Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, of which the chairman of the council, Doctor Bigelow, is director. The com- mittee urged the importance of obtaining more exact knowledge of ocean currents and temperatures in the North Atlantic region, be- cause of the direct effects of such phenomena upon the fish life. It formally requested that institution to undertake at once a study of the results already obtained from the many drift-bottle experiments conducted by the several countries, and to correlate the findings bear- ing on the broader aspects of ocean circulation. The committee also gave further consideration to the probable effects on the fisheries of the damming of Passamaquoddy Bay for hydroelectric power and reiterated its previous stand as to the im- portance of not only settling the controversial problems but of obtain- Ing a proper understanding of the fishery situation of the region in general. During the year 15 scientific or administrative reports were pub- lished under the supervision of the division or as a result of investi- gations of its staff.

The following progress reports covering the more important in- vestigations conducted by the division during the calendar year 1930 were prepared in the main by the investigators in charge of the various projects. NORTH AND MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERY INVESTIGATIONS The provision of additional funds during the past year has made it possible to expand the scientific studies to include practically all of the more important sea fisheries of this region. In order of their commercial importance the fisheries now being investigated are: Haddock, cod, mackerel, flounder, and the group of species (sque- teague, scup, butterfish, etc.), comprising the bulk of the commercial catch alongshore from southern New England to Delaware Bay. ‘The ubjective is to understand the causes of changes in the fish population, their implications as to the future of the industry, and to be in a position to recommend corrective measures if such should prove necessary. So little is known about the biological economy of the sea, and so imperfect are the records of man’s inroads on its edible stores that the task becomes a group research problem of almost incredible com- plexity. It involves such diverse inquiries as the determination of the feeding habits of minute newly hatched fish larve and the appraisal of the efficiency of various types of commercial fishing gear. The main approaches toward a solution are to derive a measure of changes in abundance from the records of commercial catches through a series of years, to examine samples of the fish population for clues given by the age of the individuals as to the rate of replacement in relation to the loss from natural mortality as well as the toll taken by man, to study the drift of eggs and larve for information on the sources of recruits to the fishing grounds, to mark fish with tags to see whether their movements from one ground to another may be the cause of changes in yield, and to study the effects of oceanic con- ditions on the nurture, movements, and even survival of the species under consideration. 75544—31—_2 560 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES To provide for the cooperation necessary in such a many-sided task, the scientific staff has been centralized at Cambridge, Mass., where laboratory and library facilities have been generously provided by the Museum of Comparative Zoology. This not only has the advantage of coordinating the work, but also makes it possible to consult readily members of the zoological, physiological, physical, and chemical departments of Harvard University, when problems arise requiring special knowledge in particular fields. Especially valuable has been the constant advice of Prof. Henry B. Bigelow, curator of oceanography, whose extensive experience and intimate knowledge of oceanic phenomena off our Atlantic coast has always been available to guide the course of our studies.

Attaching a messenger to a Green-Bigelow water bottle used to secure a series of water samples and temperature at various depths Equally gratifying have been the results of cooperation with the Bingham Oceanographic Foundation of Yale University. Prof. A. E. Parr, curator of that institution, has kindly given generously of his time to supervise the studies on the spawning of food fishes and growth of their young in the Delaware Bay region, and his findings already have provided valuable links in the chain of cir- cumstances governing the maintenance of the squeteague fishery. The progress made during 1930 on the various projects included in the research work on the North and Middle Atlantic coast is summarized in the following sections. OCEANOGRAPHIC STUDIES Perhaps the outstanding result of fishery investigations both in this country and abroad during the last two decades has been the ee . ; PROGRESS IN BIOLOGICAL INQUIRIES, 1930 061 recognition of the fact that many of the changes in abundance of fishes which cause the ups and downs in commercial yields are largely due to variations in the reproductive success in different years. It appears that conditions in certain years are favorable to the survival of the spawning product of certain species; other years’ 15° 74° 73° A APRIL @ MAY x JUNE © JULY ~<- SEPTEMBER l'icgurp 2.—Chart of the Atlantic coast of the United States from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras, showing the oceanographic stations of the Albatross II during 1930 conditions may result in virtually total mortality of the young which that year might have contributed to the stock. These successes or failures leave their impress on the population so that the yield of the commercial fishery in subsequent years will be large or small depending on whether the year classes have to a large degree sur- vived or have to a large degree perished. 562 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES The prevalence of this phenomenon in the sea fisheries makes it important to examine the conditions that may be responsible for the survival of year classes. To this end our investigations on fishes proper have been accompanied by studies of oceanographic condi- tions in so far as the limited means at our disposal would permit. Results of such studies can not be forthcoming in a short time. They involve continuous observations over a series of enough years to estab- lish a norm from which departures may be measured and correlated with changes in abundance as measured by the yield of the com- mercial fisheries in subsequent years. For this reason progress during the current year must be measured by the degree to which it lays the foundation for future advancement, as well as by the immediate results obtained. Most of the oceanographic work was done during the repeated visits of the Albatross IJ to the mackerel-spawning areas which cover an expanse of offshore waters extending from North Carolina to Massachusetts, usually including the full width of the continental shelf. The accompanying chart indicates the distribution of sta- tions, while the kinds of observations made during the cruises are listed in Table 1.

In addition to the regular plankton collections, which are intended to show only the horizontal distribution, series of hauls have been taken at different levels at 11 stations to determine vertical dis- tribution. The data from these series are expected to facilitate the interpretation of peculiarities in the horizontal distribution and to throw light on the ecology of the plankton community. Surface drift bottles were released in eight series, a total of 953 bottles. Returns have been so few and their paths so divergent that interpretation of drifts is difficult. It is possible that further light may be cast on the question by additional returns during the coming year.

An under- standing of a fishery obviously requires knowledge as to whether each locality supports a distinct stock or whether the fish of various localities mix freely. The changes in abundance and the effects of fishing must be interpreted differently depending on which of the two conditions exists. The method of wholesale tagging of adult cod has been efficacious not only in determining the movements of the fish but also has provided a wealth of material on life history and kindred subjects. During 1930 the cod investigations were continued by William C. Schroeder. Marking experiments, which included the tagging of such haddock and pollock as were caught along with the cod, were made in the following localities: 564 U. S.

Up to the present time tag returns as high as 35 per cent have been reported for certain lots of cod tagged near shore on grounds often fished; while offshore, on grounds less frequently visited, they have been as low as 1 per cent. While fishing intensity has much to do with this disparity im the numbers of fish recaptured, other things, such as the physical con- ditions under which the fish were caught at the time of tagging, the security of attachment of the tag, the season of the year, and whether the marked fish belonged to a school that remained localized for some time or was on the point of migrating, have much to do with the percentage subsequently recaught. . Alongshore within the Gulf of Maine to the northward of Cape Cod marking experiments have shown that a good part of the stock. of cod present at any given time remains localized for a year or more, that small numbers migrate eastward to Nova Scotia, and that to the northward of Cape Atak only stragglers move southward. These shore waters constitute an important cod nursery for they support a large number of 1, 2, and 3 year old fish. eee e—eEEEEEEEEOOEEEEEEOEEEEEOEEeeEEeeeee_—_ EE oe eo EE — PROGRESS IN BIOLOGICAL INQUIRIES, 1930 565 To the southward of Cape Cod the fall migration of cod from the Nantucket Shoals region into the coastal waters between Rhode Tsland and North Carolina and the return spring migration north- ward and eastward has been commented upon from time to time during the past few years. A report dealing with this was published by the bureau during the year. More information is needed about the cod living on the extensive offshore grounds in the Gulf of Maine before their habits can be determined with any degree of certainty. Results so far have in- dicated that the Browns Bank cod tend to migrate northward and eastward more than to the southward, that few of them go westward, and that many of the fish may remain on the bank from one year to the next. Some Georges Bank cod migrate to Browns Bank and beyond, across the deep intervening channel, while some move to Nantucket Shoals and the wintering grounds to the westward; but it is probable that the greater part of the vast stock of cod on Georges does not leave the bank. The capture of large numbers of juvenile cod, about 1 to 2 inches long, on the cod’s southern wintering ground to the westward of Rhode Island is noteworthy, as there are no previous records of this sort. These fish were taken between the offing of New York City and the offing of Chesapeake Bay on hydrographic cruises made by the Albatross IJ April 3-12 and April 23—May 1, 1930. Of particular interest was the catch of 360 young, 1 to 2 inches in length, off Little Egg Inlet on April 10, in 12 fathoms, with a 35-foot shrimp trawl having a cod-end lined with bobbinet. Whether these young survive and later migrate eastward, thus replenishing the stock of cod in New England waters, is an important problem for future study. Thus far the indications are either that there is a heavy mortality among these juveniles or that they leave the New York-Virginia waters before summer, for none has been reported there at that season. Data on the haddock, collected incidentally during the cod inves- tigations from 1923 to 1928, were turned over to Dr. A. W. H. Needler, of the Biological Board of Canada, who made extensive use of them in a report dealing with haddock migrations and populations published during the year. HADDOCK The haddock fishery of the western North Atlantic has undergone a tremendous expansion in recent years, with an increase in the land- dings from approximately 60,000,000 pounds in 1915 to about 190,- 000,000 pounds in 1930. This expansion largely has been due to the development of the trade in filleted haddock and has been made possible through the growth of the otter-trawl fleet. In 1915 this fleet consisted of 11 steam trawlers; in 1930 it had increased to ap- proximately 130 large and medium sized trawlers, with many smaller vessels. In 1930 the appropriations for scientific inquiry were increased to provide for a comprehensive investigation of the haddock fishery for the purpose of obtaining an understanding of the biology of the species in relation to the fishery and of ascertaining the effect of the present extensive exploitation on the haddock population. Work 566 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES began in August, 1930, when William C. Herrington, formerly on the research staff of the International Fisheries Commission, was em- ployed to direct the investigation. He is being assisted by Edward W. Bailey and John R. Webster. After an extensive preliminary survey of the fishery and litera- ture, the following general lines of procedure were decided upon: (1) Statistics. (a) Determination of the relative changes in abundance of haddock on the different banks from year to year by means of an analysis of present and past boat-catch records. (0) Collection of more detailed records for future analysis of abundance and fishing intensity. (2) Population studies. (a) Investigation of the causes of fluc- tuations in abundance which may appear. This will be done through a study of dominant year-classes and the effects of the fishery on the survival of any year-class. (6) Determination of the probable effects of the destruction of undersized haddock, caused by the otter-trawl nets, on the future productivity of the banks and the possibility of partially or entirely eliminating it by changes in the size or shape of the mesh or by other changes in the nets. (3) Study of migration and its effect on the haddock populations of the various fishing banks by means of marking experiments. (4) Plankton and hydrographic studies. Determination of the extent to which the haddock grounds are interdependent for their supply of young fish. This will be done by collecting plankton and hydrographic data and by the study of the development and drift of the eggs and larve. Each section of the work outlined is an integral part of the general program, which has for its object an understanding of the changes taking place in the haddock population and the causes of these changes. The ultimate objective toward which this program is directed is the determination of the maximum productivity of the fishery and the means by which it may be maintained. FLOUNDERS A limited amount of the increased appropriations for work on North Atlantic fishes is available for a study of the flounder fishery. The principal commercial species is the winter flounder or black- back, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, and attention will be given to that species mainly. During recent years there has been a rapid increase in the exploi- tation of this resource and doubt has been voiced as to the ability of the species to stand the additional strain imposed by the numerous flounder draggers now operating in the waters off the New England coast. Some are of the opinion that the inshore waters have been depleted and fishermen are being forced to go increasing distances offshore to get their fares. Public appreciation of the seriousness of the situation has been evidenced by the closure by Massachusetts State law, of Cape Cod Bay, to flounder draggers from April 1 to September 30. The most urgent steps to be taken to arrive at the facts of the situation are the establishment of a more effective system of catch records that will reflect the changes in abundance in various locali- PROGRESS IN BIOLOGICAL INQUIRIES, 1930 567 ties; the study of the migrations, in the hope of establishing whether young flounders move out from the inshore grounds to populate the offshore banks; and the discovery of the source of the flounders that concentrate in estuaries and on inshore shoals for the purpose of spawning. A tag similar to the mark used on the plaice in European tagging - experiments has been attached to flounders held in captivity and appears to be well suited to the purpose. Arrangements have been made for the manufacture of a sufficient supply for an extensive field trial to be undertaken early in 1931. MACKEREL Investigations of the mackerel fishery during 1930 may be con- sidered in two parts: (1) Observations of the commercial fishery ; (2) observations on the success of spawning and survival of the young larve. As in previous years the data on the commercial fishery collected at the principal landing ports have been studied from the point of view of the relative abundance of the mackerel on the various fishing grounds, as compared with previous years, and the relative numeri- cal importance of the several year classes in the mackerel population. The work continued under the supervision of O. E. Sette. Field observations were made by Frank E. Firth at New York in May and June, and at Boston from June to December; by Robert > oS. 525 -e 659 ‘ Applegate Creek (Oreg.) substation.....--------------- peeuauyes Ht!

While this does not establish a new record, it is exceeded only by the output of 7,570,482,300 fish and eggs during the fiscal year 1930, and it signifies the successful employment of the division’s facilities during a year in which drouth and adverse weather conditions affected production. There is no gage by which the results of fish-cultural activities may be accurately measured. The advantages accruing to a race of fish through fish-culture permit a large percentage of them to reach a stage of development which a significantly smaller number would reach otherwise. Fish-cultural methods constitute one of the chief agencies that can be employed to counterbalance the drain that intense commercial and game fishing place on the country’s fishery resources. As was stated in last year’s annual report, the passage by Congress on May 21, 1930, of a 5-year program, listing more than 30 items providing for the expansion of existing fish- cultural activities or the establishment of new ones, is an indication of the conviction of that body relative to the value of Federal fish- cultural work. As the convictions of Congress are in general an indication of the beliefs and sentiments of the United States as a whole, it is apparent that Federal fish-cultural work is regarded widely as a most important contributing factor in the perpetuation of fishery resources. This sentiment is further attested by the in- terest displayed by numerous organizations and individuals in the selection of hatchery sites during the first year’s operation of the 5-year program and by the constantly increasing flood of applica- tions submitted for game fish. 630 U.

PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 631 OUTPUT The magnitude of fish-cultural operations depends largely upon the availability of brood stock. Other factors are temperature and water conditions, the amount of equipment used, the size of the operating force, and the progress of science in the development of methods and apparatus. Where a brood stock is held at a hatchery, as with trout and bass, a fairly consistent production may be realized from year to year. Where collections of eggs are made from traps and racks intercepting spawning migrants, as with the salmon, the pro- duction may be fairly uniform, though it depends largely on the escapement from commercial fisheries. The collection of eggs from purely lake forms, such as whitefish, lake trout, and cisco, and from such salt water fishes as the cod, haddock, pollock, flounder, and mackerel, depends upon the abundance of fish and upon weather conditions in the vicinity of the spawning areas, as these conditions regulate largely the use of fishing gear. Because by far the greater proportion of the numerical output of the division consists of eggs and fish of the third group, the total production is largely influenced by conditions beyond the bureau’s control. Adverse weather conditions do not often cause the suspension of all activities in the collection of eggs of a species of fish. In 1931, however, they were largely responsible for a decrease of 1,135,999,000 in the distribution of cod and pollock as compared with the output of these two species during the preceding year. This decrease was more than twice the difference between the total distribution in 1931 and the all-time record of 1930. The total distribution of the past year shows a 6 per cent decrease when compared with the total for 1930. The output of the game fishes, included in the total, decreased 3% per cent, due largely to a considerable decline in the number of sunfish handled in the rescue work; and the output of the marine species decreased 10 per cent, owing to adverse weather conditions encountered during the collection of cod and pollock eggs. On the other hand, the distribution of anadromous fishes increased 98 per cent, owing to increased collections of eggs of the shad, glut herring, and Pacific salmon; and the output of commercial fishes of interior waters was increased 16 per cent, due to the unusually large numbers of carp and buffalofish handled and to larger numbers of eggs of the cisco, pike perch, and whitefish obtained in the Great Lakes operations. Of the total distributions, 3.6 per cent were anadromous species and 2.8 per cent game fishes. The marine species, which are planted in the egg and fry stages, constituted 81.8 per cent; 11.4 per cent consisted of the commercial species of interior waters, while the miscellaneous fishes, mostly species of minor importance handled in the rescue operations, amounted to two-fifths of 1 per cent. The fingerlings distributed, numbering 320,040,700, showed a 28 per cent increase over the corresponding figures for 1930. 632 Summary, by species, U. S.

COOPERATION WITH OTHER CONSERVATION AGENCIES Propagation of fish life in this country is not confined to the activi- ties of the Bureau of Fisheries. Elsewhere in this publication the activities of the States in this work are shown, while various other agencies, including many sportsmen’s organizations and individuals, are also engaged in such work. The fact that: these agencies are working toward the same ends, and in many cases in the same fields, makes apparent the need of cooperation, in order to obviate duplica- tion of effort and expenditure and to avoid wasteful overlapping of distributions. Beneficial results have followed the readiness of the bureau and the States to render mutual assistance in times of stress, such as the overcrowding of hatchery facilities, abnormal losses encountered through floods, disease conditions, or a lack of fish to meet the demands. The joint use of apparatus, ‘both for the handling of eggs and fish and for distribution work, and the loaning of apparatus and fish-cultural assistance have resulted in increased efficiency and the more successful prosecution of the work. The following are cited as some of the outstanding cases in which cooperation between the PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 633 States and the Bureau of Fisheries has occurred, though it is not assumed to present a full picture of the existing cooperative relations. The bureau’s collections of whitefish and lake trout eggs for stocking its hatcheries in Michigan were made in cooperation with the fisheries authorities of that State. In New York cisco eggs for stocking the Cape Vincent hatchery were obtained as a result of joint operations between the bureau and the State. The collection of black-spotted trout eggs in Pyramid Lake, Nev., was conducted conjointly by the bureau and the State authorities, under the protection afforded by the Federal Indian Service. Large numbers of Atlantic salmon eggs received by the bureau from the Canadian Government in exchange for eggs of other species were turned over to the Maine authorities for the restocking of waters in that State. Assistance extended by the North Carolina Department of Conser- vation largely made possible the bureau’s work of propagating striped ae at at . Bas ato ae ce eee me i - FIGURE 1.—Removing fish from rearing pond in the Upper Mississippi Wild Life Refuge bass at Weldon, N.C. In addition to supplying funds for the opera- tion of the Weldon hatchery, the State loaned trucks and the services of its personnel to assist in distributing the fry. The superintendent of the bureau’s Mammoth Spring (Ark.) station continued to assist in the operation of the State hatchery at Lonoke, Ark. The South Carolina authorities assisted financially in the bureau’s shad work in that State, thus permitting the conduct of work on a much more extensive scale than otherwise would have been possible. Pond fish propagation at the Miles City substation of the bureau in Montana was conducted conjointly with the Montana Fish and Game Depart- ment. The State also rendered material assistance in distributing the output of this station and in other work. As in the past, a close coordination of operating units was maintained between the bureau and the fisheries departments of Oregon and Washington in the conduct of Pacific salmon propagation. In connection with that work many transfers of eggs are necessary to assist in restoring failing 96058—32——2 634 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES runs of salmon in various fields. Part of the assistance rendered to various States by the bureau is made evident in the appended table of fish egg assignments to State and Territorial fish commissions. The national forests and national parks, covering large areas in the United States, abound in streams and lakes noted for their fishing. As the Forest Service and the Park Service do not propagate fish for these areas, the Bureau of Fisheries has undertaken to rear fish for stocking them. Work of this character in Yellowstone Park is of such magnitude that a large permanent hatchery and pond system is in annual operation in that region. The same may be said of the Glacier National Park, where a substation is maintained. During the past year these two hatcheries produced nearly 6,000,000 fingerling rainbow, black-spotted, and Loch Leven trout for distribution within park boundaries. Most of the distributions were handled by em- ployees of the National Park Service, that organization having con- ducted biological surveys previously for the purpose of ascertaining stocking requirements and formulating a planting policy. Other national parks and national forests throughout the country receive the benefit of the bureau’s distributions. A hatchery site in Rainier National Park in the State of Washington was selected in the course of the year and a hatchery to supply trout for the waters in that reservation will be erected soon. An extensive survey in the Wasatch National Forest in Utah was made by the bureau with the view of formulating a stocking policy. Plans for work of a similar character in other national forest areas were also made. The bureau’s egg-collecting work at Pyramid Lake, Nev., which is dependent upon the tactful assistance of the Indian Service, has been mentioned in connection with cooperation in Nevada. Incidental to the bureau’s general distribution work, many streams and lakes in Indian reservations throughout the United States have been stocked with fish. COOPERATIVE FISH NURSERIES A significant factor in emphasizing the interest manifested in the conservation and restoration of the country’s game fish resources is the large number of active sportsmen’s organizations. The members of these associations enthusiastically indorse the work of propagating and distributing game fishes; and many of the organizations, with the bureau’s advice and assistance, have established nurseries to aid in the effective stocking of inland waters. Usually these nurseries con- sist of a pond or series of ponds in which fry furnished by the bureau are held and fed until they reach a large fingerling or yearling size, when they are liberated. Although the bureau retains the right to claim 50 per cent of the output of each cooperating nursery, it has seldom been necessary to exercise that right. In addition to the cooperative nurseries maintained by sportsmen’s groups, there are many organizations which operate either indepen- dently or rely upon the bureau’s assistance merely in an advisory capacity. In some cases cooperative nurseries are maintained and managed by individuals, and in one instance the cooperating party is a county covernment. The operations of these units result in ereatly increased effectiveness in the stocking of public waters. Large fingerling or yearling fish are much better ‘equipped than are fry to survive the conditions encountered in open streams and lakes, and with the increased numbers of large-sized fish available for the pur- PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 635 pose a far more thorough and liberal distribution of fish is assured. Another valuable feature connected with the working out of the cooperative nursery scheme is its influence in awakening and fostering public interest in conservation measures. At the end of the previous fiscal year grave fears were expressed as to the outcome of rearing operations at the cooperative nurseries during the year about to begin. The reason for this apprehension FIGURE 2.—Trout ponds of a cooperative nursery operated by Clare ounty, Mich., and the Bureau of Fisheries. was the protracted drought, which at that time was reducing the flow of springs, cutting down the supply of water in streams and lessening the volume of lakes in many sections of the country. Many of the nurseries were affected. Some suspended activities while others reduced the scope of operations. Heavy losses were suffered that would not have occurred under normal water conditions. A number of organizations also found it difficult to continue operations during a year of national financial stress. As a result of these conditions the number of active nurseries declined from 125 in 1930 to 119 during the fiscal year 1931. To these nurseries a total of 4,109,622 fish were allotted, the species furnished including brook trout, rainbow 636 U. S.

FISH-CULTURAL NOTES FIVE-YEAR EXPANSION PROGRAM In May, 1930, Congress enacted a law providing for the construc- tion of 30 new or expanded fish-cultural acitvities, and also for a general expansion of other projects of the bureau. Re eeont eatin were made to cover the construction work authorized for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1930, and sites for stations were selected at Dexter, N. Mex., Natchitoches, La., and in the Hagerman Valley, Idaho. Locations were also decided upon for the establishment of substations at Lake Mills, Wis., Leadville, Colo., York Pond, N. H., Leetown, W. Va., and in the vicinity of Virginia City, Mont. Plans for the construction of these stations and substations were prepared and the work of establishment had been started at two of the locations before the close of June, 1931. The 5-year program includes the location and construction of 11 stations, 15 substations, and 2 experimental trout and bass stations, the purchase of 3 sites of stations now in operation, and the con- struction of 2 distribution cars. The provision of these stations and substations will reduce the necessity for long-distance shipments of 652 U. 8 BUREAU OF FISHERIES fish. It will place the bureau in a position to greatly extend the cooperative nursery work in various sections of the country, and the scope of effective distribution by which the bureau endeavors to overcome depletion of the game fishes in suitable waters will be enlarged. FISH FOOD Experiments conducted during the year at Pittsford, Vt., empha- sized the fact that certain dried products in combination with fresh meats can be used with results equal to or better than those obtained when fresh meats alone are used. A fine growth and remarkable coloration followed the feeding of trout on a diet of dried salmon eggs in combination with liver. BLACK-SPOTTED TROUT EGG COLLECTIONS AT PYRAMID LAKE, NEV. Pyramid Lake, Nev., is inhabited by a strain of unusually large black-spotted trout which spawn earlier in the spring than do most of the other strains. For some years the State of Nevada collected eggs in this field, but the lake is on an Indian reservation and the work met with much opposition from the Indians, who had been accustomed to net the spawning adults and sell them. The difficul- ties encountered by the State from this source necessitated a discon- tinuance of operations for atime. As the field was considered a valuable source of black-spotted trout eggs, and as protection of the adult fish appeared essential for the perpetuation of the species in Pyramid Lake, collections were resumed in the spring .of 1931 by the bureau, acting in cooperation with the State authorities, and about 4,900,000 eggs were secured. Thirty per cent of the resulting fry will be returned to the lake as fingerling fish from 14 to 3 inches long. The past season being the first that the bureau has operated through- out the entire spawning period, precautionary measures to insure the successful carrying out of the undertaking were effected with the ee Service, the Indians of the reservation, and the State of evada. BASS PONDS AT CAPE VINCENT, N. Y. Past operations at this station have centered on activities connected with the propagation of the lake fishes and trout. Within the past two years ponds for the propagation of pond fishes, mainly small- mouth black bass, have been constructed, and the Cape Vincent station now constitutes the bureau’s first completely equipped small- mouth black bass rearing plant in the Northeast. Its output of that species during 1931 ranked next to those of the Northville (Mich.) and Louisville (Ky.) stations. GRAYLING OPERATIONS AT GREBE LAKE, WYO. The grayling is known as one of the most beautiful and active of game fishes. It furnishes some of the most interesting fly fishing obtainable. It is little known, however, outside its natural ranges in the northern Rocky Mountain and Great Lakes regions, since the various attempts made to transplant it have met with little success. Moreover, as young grayling are difficult to feed and handle during ee Fn PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 653 their early stages, the fish have not been reared extensively. During the past fiscal year a sufficient number of adult grayling were captured to yield a collection of 1,000,000 eggs. These were fertilized and planted in the egg stage in the waters from which the fish were taken. The captures were made in connection with an attempt to secure data on the possibility of collecting rainbow trout eggs in Grebe Lake in the Yellowstone National Park. The success of this preliminary work has encouraged tbe conduct of future grayling operations in Grebe Lake, and with this end in view plans are being made to provide hatching facilities and to construct more permanent racks and traps for the capture of adult grayling. SUCCESSFUL POND-FISH WORK IN MONTANA During 1931, the second year of its operation, the Lake Garberson substation, located near Miles City, Mont., surpassed the impressive record of its first year’s work in the production of pond fishes. As the operations in this field were on an experimental basis, a number of the more important improvements, including the installation of a permanent water supply, were held in abeyance until a decision could be reached as to whether expenditures for permanent improvements would be justified. The unfinished condition of the plant, together with the effects of the drought, caused fluctuations in the water level and permitted the flooding of only a fractional part of the pond area. This, of course, resulted in a smaller output of fish than should be realized after the station has been fully completed. The work at Lake Garberson is conducted cooperatively with the Montana Fish and Game Commission, and the greater part of the year’s production of 316,855 largemouth black bass, crappie, sunfish, and catfish was received by the State. During the fiscal year a pond was formed alongside Lake Garberson by the construction of a dam. A drainage and supply system was provided and the initial production of the new enclosure, to be known as Lake Keough, will appear in the fall of 1931. The output of this lake, with the bureau’s share of the Lake Garberson production, will constitute a large percentage of the pond fishes distributed by the Bureau of Fisheries in the Northwest. FISH HATCHERY SITE, MOUNT RAINIER, WASH. With the exception of the Yellowstone and Glacier Parks, the distri- bution of fish in the national parks has been limited greatly by a lack of near-by producing stations. This condition was further stressed in Mount Rainier National Park by the fact that no trout stations are operated by the bureau in the State of Washington. For this reason the recent selection of a trout hatchery site at Silver Spring, within the park boundaries, promises to relieve much of the strain formerly experienced in the stocking of waters throughout this region. Preparations for the construction of this hatchery were being made as the fiscal year ended. ‘EFFECTS OF THE DROUGHT The majority of the bureau’s fish-cultural stations are so located that adequate water for their operation is available throughout the year. During the past year, however, the volume of lakes and streams x 654 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES in all parts of the country became so greatly reduced by the prevailing drought as to materially curtail the water supply to the hatcheries. The result was a partial suspension of operations in many fields, while at other points auxiliary water supply lines had to be installed to prevent the loss of fish and eggs on hand. These conditions affected the size of the output and necessitated the planting of thousands of fish at an earlier stage than was desirable, in order to prevent over- crowding of the station ponds. The drought brought about suitable conditions for the capture of fish in the rescue work in the Mississippi River region, but the continued low water levels at the close of the fiscal year offered little prospect for a successful season during the summer of 1931. COMMERCIAL SPECIES Commercial species are propagated in an effort to counterbalance the drain that commercial fishing places on the fishery resources. Sufficient depletion has been undergone to make it apparent that replacement is necessary if the supply of food fish in public waters is to be maintained. Such replacement is most successfully accom- plished by fish-cultural means, even where the assistance rendered can include only the artificial impregnation of eggs. During the 1931 fiscal year the numbers of commercial species propagated were generally increased, although there were large de- creases in the numbers of eggs handled in the case of the cod, pollock, carp, and buffalofish. Under favoring weather conditions unusually large numbers of pike perch, cisco, and whitefish eggs were obtained in the Great Lakes region. PACIFIC SALMON Large numbers of chinook salmon ascended the streams to spawn in the California and Columbia River fields. This allowed a very satisfactory collection of chinook salmon eggs in these sections, which greatly exceeded the figures of 1930. In Puget Sound the past season was an ‘‘off” season for the run of hump-back salmon, but large numbers of eggs of this species were transferred from the Alaska field in an endeavor to establish a supply of humpback salmon. Total collections in all fields exceeded those of the previous fiscal year. AFOGNAK (ALASKA) STATION [Harry F. JOHNSTON, Superintendent] The run of sockeye salmon into Letnik Lake began June 19 and continued until August, during which time 2,649 female fish were handled and 6,347,270 eggs produced. In August and September 13,671,270 eggs of the humpback salmon were taken, and on reaching the eyed stage 10,155,776 of this number were for- warded to the Washington State Department of Fisheries and Game. During the spring 32,826 steelhead salmon eggs were collected and planted in the eyed stage in Letnik River. In connection with the rearing operations 560 silver salmon, salted in the previous fall, were used as a food supply. On attaining the No. 1 fingerling size all sockeye salmon on hand were planted in Letnik Lake, while the humpback salmon fingerlings were liberated in Letnik River. The year’s construction work included the building of a new water tank and a garage. The arrangement of the latter permits the housing of the station truck and tractors and leaves ample room for repair work. From 400 trees cut on the station reservation sufficient lumber was prepared for the construction of a dock and shipways on Letnik Bay. A new pilot house and deck and a rear- ranged interior were provided for the bureau’s boat Red Wing, and a complete new counting weir was installed at the foot of Letnik Lake. Numerous repairs of a minor nature were made to the station buildings and equipment. PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 655 YES BAY (ALASKA) STATION {[A. T. Loorr, Superintendent] Fish-cultural work at this station was devoted mainly to the handling of sock- eye salmon, with incidental collections of eggs of the humpback and chum salmon and the rearing of a small lot of eastern brook trout for distribution in Alaska waters. Salmon eggs and milts were again used with marked success to feed the stock of young sockeye salmon. The material was obtained from commercial fishing establishments in the district and keptin cold storage until needed. The 8,000,000 sockeye salmon fingerlings on hand in the slough pond at the beginning of the year were held until September 8 and then liberated in Lake McDonald. At the time of liberation they had reached a length of 3 inches. The season’s spawning operations yielded a total of 27,469,000 sockeye salmon eggs, 7,055,000 humpback salmon eggs, and 100,000 chum salmon eggs. On attaining the eyed stage 3,055,000 of the sockeye salmon and 6,107,000 hump- back salmon eggs were forwarded to the bureau’s headquarters at Seattle, Wash., for reshipment to applicants in Washington and Oregon. From the retained stock 22,480,000 sockeye salmon fingerlings No. 2, 261,000 humpback salmon advanced fry, and 85,000 chum salmon advanced fry were produced and released in Lake McDonald. As will be noted from a study of the above figures, the losses on this stock during the time it was held were not above normal. The released salmon were fed in the slough pond until the end of the year. The principal item of repair work undertaken during the year was the renewal of foundation posts, sills, studding, floor joists, and flooring in the hatchery building. This part of the building had become badly decayed and at the close of the year the work was in a half-completed condition. It is planned to com- plete it early in the coming fiscal year. Various minor repairs and improve- ments were made to ponds, buildings, and equipment. BIRDSVIEW (WASH.) STATION AND SUBSTATIONS {JOSEPH KEMMERICH, Superintendent] Operations in this field were conducted throughout the entire year at the five permanently located stations comprising this group. In addition, the Walcotts Slough trap at Brinnon, Wash., was operated during the egg-collecting season; sockeye salmon were reared at the Lake Crescent (Wash.) State hatchery, and silver salmon and steelhead salmon eggs were secured for the Birdsview station at the Baker River dam at Concrete, Wash. Eggs of all the Pacific salmons excepting the humpback were collected. The run of early chum salmon in the Duckabush River was less than 50 per cent of normal, but the egg collections of silver salmon, sockeye salmon and steelhead salmon exceeded those of last year. The total collection of eggs of all species, amounting to 28,532,800, fell short of last year’s take by 8,884,700, the decreased results being due in part to the small run of early chum salmon in the Duckabush River and to the fact that 1930 was the ‘‘off’’ year for humpback salmon on Puget Sound. In addi- tion to the eggs collected 9,698,832 eggs of various species of salmon and trout were received by transfer from other fields and handled with the local collections. Eyed steelhead and chinook salmon eggs to the number of 234,250 were forwarded to various points in the State of Washington and to Hawaii. A successful distri- bution of steelhead salmon, eastern brook trout, and black-spotted trout was made from the Birdsview and Quilcene stations to waters of the Mount Rainier National Park. Throughout the greater part of the year the Birdsview station cooperated with the Skagit County game commission in the hatching and rearing of trout. The sockeye salmon run in Baker River was the smallest experienced since the power dam was installed, but a greater percentage of the fish arrived at Baker Lake than in previous years and the egg collection was proportionately greater. The more favorable results are attributed to various improvements made in the catching and hoisting device and to the established policy of reducing to a mini- mum the time that the fish are confined therein. Continued success was had in the feeding of fluke-infected and treated liver, and it again resulted in a considerable saving in the cost of fish food. The marking experiment begun at the Birdsview station in the fall of 1929, to determine whether age or size at time of liberation is the factor governing the return of sockeye salmon, was continued. The site selected for the establishment of a new hatchery in the Mount Rainier National Forest was obtained from the 656 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Forest Service. Further investigation of streams and spawning grounds was conducted during the year. Silver salmon and steelhead salmon eggs were suc- cessfully collected in Baker River below the dam and transferred to the Birds- view station for incubation. A highway to the Baker Lake station from the Mount Baker Forest boundary is now being constructed by the United States Bureau of Public Roads, and by the fall of 1932 the old pack-horse trail between Baker Lake and Concrete can be abandoned. Further effort was made during the year to establish a run of sockeye salmon in the Lyre River. Birdsview (Wash.) station——Minor repairs and improvements were made to two of the station cottages, and the interiors of the mess-house cottage and small cottage were repainted. Two new Ford trucks and a concrete mixer were added to the station equipment. The year opened with a considerable number of sock- eye salmon, steelhead salmon, and black-spotted trout fingerlings on hand. Fifty thousand of the first-named species were set aside for the continuation of the experiment to determine whether age or size of the fish at the time of release is the factor governing its return, and 34,200 were planted in streams having lakes at their head. The black-spotted trout fingerlings and a number of the steelhead salmon were distributed in Mount Rainier National Park waters. The remainder of the A species were distributed locally and supplied to applicants late in the fall. On account of low water in Grandy Creek during the early fall, egg collections in the course of the year were confined to operations with the silver and steel- head salmons, of which only small numbers were obtained as compared with previous years. However, silver salmon eggs for stocking the Birdsview hatchery to the number of 1,740,000 were collected in Baker River in December and the stock of steelhead eggs from local waters was supplemented to the extent of 330,000 secured from the same source. The station also received and handled eggs of the sockeye, chinook, and humpback salmon and of the black-spotted and rainbow trout. Shipments of chinook and steelhead salmon eggs were fur- nished by the station to applicants in the State of Washington and in Hawaii. Feeding operations were conducted to the full capacity of the station and fluke- infected liver was successfully used, at a considerable saving in cost as compared with fresh liver. All fry and fingerling fish produced were liberated locally except 98,700 sockeye salmon, retained for the marking experiment, 71,500 rainbow trout fry, and all of the steelhead eggs, fry, and fingerlings. This stock was carried over the year for distribution later in the season. Baker Lake (Wash.) substation.—Such minor repairs were made to buildings and equipment as were necessary for the proper maintenance and operation of the station. Of the 1,036 sockeye salmon passed over the dam at Concrete, 859 were caught at the station and from them 1,183,000 eggs were obtained. Of these 100,000 in the eyed stage were transferred to the Birdsview station. The fingerling fish produced from the remainder, together with 955,000 fry resulting from a shipment of sockeye eggs received from the Yes Bay (Alaska) station, were liberated in Baker Lake prior to the close of the fiscal year. Of the 16,263 silver salmon passed over the dam at Concsrete, 2,103 were caught in the station trap. From them 1,322,000 eggs were secured and transferred in the eyed stage to the Birdsview station. For the purpose of stocking a number of mountain lakes in the vicinity of the station, 50,000 eastern brook trout eggs were received during the winter from the Washington State Fisheries Department; and 40,000 Loch Leven trout eggs, for stocking Baker Lake, were received from the Boze- man (Mont.) station. The fingerlings resulting from these two lots of eggs were on hand at the close of the year. Duckabush (Wash.) substation—All station buildings and equipment were maintained in good condition throughout the year. During August a temporary rack was again installed near the mouth of the Duckabush River for securing eggs of the early-run chum salmon, and when the run was over it was again removed from the river. About 6,000 pounds of salted salmon were prepared for fish food, for use at the Hoods Canal and Birdsview stations. The early run of chum salmon in Duckabush River did not exceed 50 per cent of normal. Practically all of the 5,529,000 eggs secured from the late run of this species were collected at Walcotts Slough, operated conjointly by the Duckabush and Quilcene stations. Only 237,000 eggs of the silver salmon and 37,000 of the steelhead were obtained at the permanent trap. The supply of the former species was increased by the receipt of 1,075,760 eggs from the Quinault station; and 753,000 eggs of the chinook salmon were shipped in from the Little White Salmon hatchery, with the view of continuing the experiment undertaken in 1925 for increasing the run of that species in the Duckabush and Docewallips Rivers. All fry and finger- PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 657 lings produced during the year were liberated in these rivers and in Walcotts Slough with the exception of 19,700 steelhead fry and fingerlings, which remained on hand at the close of the year. Quilcene (Wash.) substation Immediately after July 1 all traps and equipment were put in condition for the season’s fish-cultural operations. Minor repairs were mace to ponds and buildings, and a small office and storeroom building was constructed and painted. During the winter the local power company extended its line from the town of Quilcene out to the vicinity of the station, and on March 14 the station electric-lighting system was connected with the company’s line. A 3-horsepower electric motor was installed in the fish-food house for operating the food grinder. At the beginning of the fiscal year there were 77,250 brook-trout fingerlings and 216,100 steelhead fry and fingerlings on hand. Some of these were dis- tributed in October in Mount Rainier National Park waters; 2,000 of the brook trout were reserved for rearing to the adult stage; and the remaining stock of both species, after completing the Mount Rainier distribution, was liberated in local waters and delivered to the county game commissions of Jefferson and Clallam Counties, Wash. Collections of silver and steelhead salmon exceeded last year’s collections of these species. The early run of chum salmon in the Big Quilcene and Little Quilcene Rivers was considerably below normal. Egg collections of the late-run chum salmon, obtained from the Little Quilcene River, Walcotts Slough, and Jackson Creek, exceeded those of last year. As a result of the season’s collecting operations 9,147,000 eggs of the chum salmon, 1,193,000 of the silver salmon, and 608,000 of the steelhead salmon were obtained. In addition, 843,472 silver-salmon eggs were received from the Quinault (Wash.) station and 751,000 of the chinook salmon were shipped in from the Little White Salmon (Wash.) station, for the continuation of the efforts in progress for in- creasing the run of this species in the Big Quilcene and Docewallips Rivers; 200,000 black-spotted trout eggs were transferred from the Yellowstone Park, and 50,000 brook-trout eggs were derived from the State of Washington. All of these acquisitions were handled along with the local collections. The fry and fingerlings produced from the chum salmon, silver salmon, and chinook salmon eggs were liberated in local waters. The fingerlings resulting from the black- spotted trout eggs were distributed in Mount Rainier National Park. At the close of the year 44,724 brook-trout fingerlings and 389,750 steelhead fry and fingerlings remained on hand. The maximum feeding capacity of the station was utilized during the spring months. Walcotts Slough (Wash.) substation —The trap in Walcotts Slough is maintained and operated jointly by the Duckabush and Quilcene stations. The only species of salmon that enters and spawns in this slough is the late-run chum salmon. As the trap is on leased ground, no improvements are made other than those essential for the proper conduct of the work. Minor repairs were made to the trap in advance of the spawning season. ‘The first fish appeared in the trap on November 20. Between November 24 and January 19 a total of 12,593,000 eggs were taken by the personnel of these two stations, of which number 7,108,000 were transferred to the Quilcene hatchery and 5,485,000 were shipped to Ducka- bush. All fry resulting from the collections were returned to their native waters on the completion of the yolk sac period. Sultan (Wash.) substation —The interior of the foreman’s cottage was re- painted, and other necessary minor repairs were made to buildings. During the late summer all fish-cultural equipment was painted and made ready for active service. The 76,100 steelhead fry and fingerlings on hand when the year opened were reared until August 11 and then liberated in waters adjacent to the station. During the year 179,700 eggs of the chinook salmon, 879,500 of the silver salmon, and 321,600 of the steelhead were collected, the total exceeding that of the previous year by about 40 per cent. The fry and fingerlings resulting from the two first-named species were liberated in Elwell Creek, as were also the sac- absorbed fry resulting from a lot of 1,392,000 humpback salmon eggs developed at the station for the State of Washington. At the close of the year there were on hana 281,100 steelhead salmon fingerlings Nos. 1 and 1%, resulting from the egg collections of the species referred to above. Lake Crescent (Wash.) State trout haichery.—In 1927, when the work of at- tempting to establish a run of sockeye salmon into Lake Crescent through the Lyre River from Puget Sound was undertaken, the fingerlings resulting from approximately one million eggs of that species developed in the Lake Crescent 96058—32 5 658 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES hatchery were liberated in the lake, and yearly plants on the same scale have been introduced since that time. In the expectation that adult salmon resulting from the initial year’s plant would return to the river in 1930, a close watch was maintained throughout the summer but no migration whatever could be dis- covered. After due consideration it was decided to continue the experiment through another year and to conduct at the same time a thorough investigation with the view of bringing to light any possible migration from the lake. Accord- ingly, a consignment of 1,004,800 eyed eggs from the Quinault (Wash.) station was developed in the Lake Crescent hatchery and on June 29 the 995,023 No. 1% fingerlings resulting therefrom were planted in the lake. On May 4 an employee was assigned to make close observations in the lake and river and to ascertain if there would be a migration out of the lake of the young fish liberated therein in June, 1930. A migration was noted between May 11 and June 15; but it was also discovered that many of the young fish composing it were killed or injured in the river, apparently in passing through the numerous log jams and rock slides encountered. Again, a close watch was maintained to note if any adult sockeye salmon entered the river, but there appeared to be no evidence of such a return. QUINAULT (WASH.) STATION [Marcus S. MEYER, Superintendent] During the fall spawning season, extending from October 22 to the end of December, 20,000,000 sockeye salmon eggs were taken and laid down for incuba- tion in the hatchery, together with 2,700,000 silver salmon and 140,000 chinook salmon eggs. On reaching the eyed stage 5,361,984 eggs of this stock were for- warded to other stations of the bureau and to State hatcheries in Oregon and Washington. At the close of the fiscal year approximately 1,400,000 fingerling salmon were being reared for later distribution, the remainder of the production having been disposed of earlier in the season to make room for the growing stock. Besides caring for the eggs and fry derived from contiguous waters, the station’s facilities were utilized for incubating nearly a half-million steelhead and black- spotted trout eggs for the Grays Harbor County game commission. After rearing to fingerlings the fry resulting from these eggs, they were turned over to employees of the game organization and distributed in county streams. With the object of increasing the station’s rearing facilities, the construction of a self-cleaning elliptical long concrete rearing pond 20 by 80 feet in dimensions was undertaken and partially completed. It is the intention to utilize waste water from the six concrete rearing ponds now in use for the operation of the new pond. A concrete settling tank with necessary connections for 18-inch wood stave pipe was constructed and will be installed in advance of the coming spawn- ing season. CLACKAMAS (OREG.) STATION AND SUBSTATIONS [PHILo B. HAWLEY, Superintendent] With the Clackamas station as headquarters, fish-cultural activities were conducted during the fiscal year 1931 at eight points in the States of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Six of these stations were maintained throughout the year, while two were utilized simply as egg-collecting units. The aggregate egg collections of the group amounted to 51,398,000 or 28,898,000 in excess of last year’s collections. Of this total 47,985,000 were from chinook salmon; the remainder were from silver, chum, and steelhead salmon and rain- bow trout. ; The station received the cooperation of the fish and game commissions of Oregon, such cooperation including financial assistance as well as aid in effecting transfers of fish and eggs and prevention of salmon poaching. Clackamas (Oreg.) station.—Repeated failures of anticipated runs of fall chinook salmon to appear in the Clackamas River have justified the practice of making no attempt to intercept the small number of ascending fish. For the purpose of assisting to build up the run, the fingerlings resulting from 750,000 eggs transferred from the Little White Salmon station were liberated in the river. In addition to these, 1,003,000 spring chinook salmon eggs were received from the McKenzie River station of the Oregon Fish Commission. Chinook eggs num- bering 2,025,000, collected at the Upper Clackamas station, were incubated at Clackamas, and the resulting fish in the fingerling stage were liberated in the Upper Clackamas River and its tributaries. Shipments of brook and rainbow trout and of silver and chum salmon were handled, and various applications for PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 659 trout were filled. In cooperation with the Oregon Game Commission a fishery exhibit was displayed at the Pacific International Livestock Exposition. Upper Clackamas (Oreg.) substation.—Only egg-collecting operations were undertaken in this field. Eggs of the fall chinook salmon to the number of 2,025,000 were secured here, and all of them were transferred in the green state to the Clackamas station for incubation. Little White Salmon (Wash.) substation.—The usual racks and traps were installed in the Little White Salmon River early'in September. Egg collections of the chinook salmon were made between September 22 and October 12, and though the water stage in the river was exceptionally low, the season’s collection amounted to 24,880,000 eggs, or more than two and one-half times the number obtained in the previous year. With the view of intercepting any chum salmon in the river, the main head rack was maintained until late in November, making possible a collection of 375,000 eggs of that species. Of the chinook eggs secured 12,794,000 were transferred to outside points. The remainder were incubated and the resulting fish were liberated in the fingerling stage in the Little White Salmon River. Eighteen tons of salmon flesh were preserved in the cold-storage plant. In addition to this food, a considerable amount of horse flesh and con- demned canned salmon was utilized in connection with the rearing operations. A 2-foot continuous wood stave pipe to a length of 1,100 feet was installed for a main water-supply line. There still remain 1,700 feet of pipe to be installed, together with an 80-foot trestle across the Little White Salmon River. During June the efficiency of the station was increased by the establishment of electric power and lighting facilities. Big White Salmon (Wash.) substation—The usual preparations were made for taking spawn of the fall chinook salmon in the Big White Salmon River and Spring Creek. By virtue of frequent and heavy stocking, the latter egg source has been built up from a stream barren of salmon to a first-class egg-collecting point: and in 1931, 4,087,000 eggs were secured from it, in addition to 9,050,000 obtained from the river. Of the season’s collection of 13,137,000 eggs 3,434,000 were transferred to outside points. The remainder were incubated and late in May 8,320,000 fingerling salmon were available for distribution. Of these, 1,620,000 were planted in the Big White Salmon. The remainder were deposited in the Columbia River. Eggs taken from the Big White Salmon River were, as usual, transferred in the green state to the hatchery, and with very good results. A number of brook and rainbow trout were reared for the Klickitat County game commission, for filling applications submitted for the stocking of private ponds. Spawned-out salmon, frozen and held in the refrigerator at the Little White Salmon station, was used as fish food, being utilized with quantities of horse meat, horse liver, beef spleen, and sheep liver. Patrolmen were again employed for the purpose of preventing illegal net and troll fishing, a practice which has increased greatly in recent years. As heretofore, one man was em- ployed by the bureau and a man to act as his assistant was furnished by the fish commission of Oregon. Badges of authority for this work were granted the bureau by the State Fisheries Department of Washington. Rogue River (Oreg.) substation.—The chinook salmon spawning season opened August 14 and continued to October 3, during which time 4,901,000 eggs were taken, as compared with 588,000 obtained last year. Eggs to the number of 780,000 were transferred to other points, and from the remainder 3,669,000 fingerling fish were produced and liberated in the Rogue River. In making the distribution 1,534,000 were transported below the Savage Rapids Dam in order to avert their possible loss later on in passing through the turbines pumping water to the main irrigation ditches at that point. Since the passage of the “White bill’”’ efforts have been made to purchase a suitable site for a new fish- cultural station in the Rogue River field. It is expected that this new unit will be located adjoining the Butte Falls hatchery of the Oregon Game Commission. Efforts are also being made to purchase a site for the establishment of a permanent rack and trap in Big Butte Creek, for the purpose of making egg collections of the silver salmon, steelhead salmon, and cutthroat trout. Applegate Creek (Oreg.) substatton.—The run of silver salmon again proved disappointing and only 445,000 eggs were collected. To assist in maintaining the run 100,000 eggs of this species were transferred from the Quinault (Wash.) field. While the run of steelhead salmon in Applegate Creek was above normal only 1,741,000 eggs were secured. This was due to a changed method of opera- tion. In past years the bureau has been subjected to criticism as a result of steelheads being lost in holding them in inclosures to ripen. To avert this, only fish in ripened condition, or nearly so, were retained. The green fish captured 660 U. §. BUREAU OF FISHERIES were returned to the stream with the expectation that they would return later. However, this proved disappointing, as the fish dropped downstream and spawned in waters well below the dam. It is believed that if the usual method of retain- ing green fish had been carried out the total take of eggs would have exceeded the collection of 5,720,000 made two yearsago. Nearly a thousand green females were returned to the waters of Applegate Creek at one time. Eyed steelhead eggs to the number of 545,000 were transferred to other points. Due to the limited rearing facilities at this substation, the remaining eggs and fry were transferred to the Butte Falls hatchery of the Oregon Game Commission for incubation and rearing. Salmon (Idaho) substation.—At the opening of the fiscal year there were on hand approximately 820,000 rainbow trout eggs and fry, the result of collections made at Williams Lake during the previous year. The collection of chinook salmon eggs commenced August 11 and extended to September 1, by which date 3,042,000 had been secured. To assist in perpetuating the run of this species, 2,000,000 eggs were transferred from the McKenzie River station of the Oregon Fish Commission. In the course of the year 4,972,000 chinook fingerlings were liberated in the Salmon, Pahsimeroi, and Lemhi Rivers. The State Fisheries Department of Idaho cooperated with the bureau during the year in the collec- tion of rainbow trout eggs at Williams Lake. Eggs numbering 1,020,000 were secured, approximately 954,000 of which are on hand at the close of June. BAIRD (CALIF.) STATION AND SUBSTATIONS [W. K. Hancocr, Superintendent] Due to the small number of chinook salmon available for spawning operations, only 160,000 eggs were taken in the McCloud River. A change was made in the position of the upper rack during the year, and the presence of a group of large salmon promises a greater egg production in the coming season. Jt was very difficult to install this rack, as the water in some places where it crossed was 11 feet deep. Owing to the small number of eggs taken at Baird, arrangements were made for the transfer of 2,000,000 eggs from the Battle Creek substation and 1,000,000 from the Mill Creek auxiliary. The young fish produced were fed beef liver and salted salmon and were planted as advanced fry and Nos. 1 to 8 finger- lings in the McCloud and Sacramento Rivers. The winter and spring of 1931 were the driest in years, and the consequent low water stage in the McCloud River made it necessary to pump water into the hatchery and ponds up to the time the fish were released. Two new rearing ponds were constructed in the course of the year. The mechanical equipment was overhauled and repaired, and necessary repairs and improvements were made to buildings. Battle Creek (Calif.) substation.—Racks were installed early in the fall and the season’s spawning operations began October 23. A large run of chinook salmon had congregated below the racks; and on November 26, after 11,130,000 eggs had been taken, the racks were opened and the considerable number of unused spawn- ers remaining in the creek were released to spawn naturally. On attaining the eyed stage 2,000,000 eggs were transferred to the Baird station. The young fish resulting from the remainder were reared to as large a size as the facilities would permit and then liberated as fingerlings Nos. 14% to 3 in Battle Creek. In the course of the season, 1,200 pounds of salmon flesh were salted for use as fish food. One fairly large pond was built. Twenty old troughs were replaced by new ones and 200 trough covers for replacement were made. Driveways were improved; the hatchery, garage, mess house, foreman’s cottage, and laundry shed were repaired; and a refrigerator was built in the mess kitchen. Mill Creek (Calif.) substation.—Racks were installed in Mill Creek in August and active spawning operations with the chinook salmon extended from October 30 to December 2. On the latter date seining was discontinued, the racks were removed, and a large number of unspawned salmon held below them were allowed to proceed upstream. After reaching the eyed stage, 1,000,000 of the total season’s collection of 5,137,000 eggs were transferred to Baird station. The remainder were hatched and the resulting fish liberated in Mill Creek as fry and small fingerlings. The Mill Creek substation is located on a stream whose waters are diverted for irrigation during a large part of the year. In accordance with a previous promise of the irrigation company, water was turned into the creek on October 15, two weeks earlier than last year, with the result that a much larger number of salmon than usual were available for spawning operations. As the company PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 661 takes the water again at the end of March, all fish on hand at the substation must be liberated prior to that time. The hatchery foundation and floor were temporarily patched and miscellaneous repairs were made to other station buildings. Eight hundred pounds of salmon were salted for fish food. FISHES OF THE GREAT LAKES As usual, varying weather conditions affected greatly the collection of the eggs of lake fishes. Taken in general, very little difference is noticeable between the collections of 1931 and 1930. There was no successful egg take of cisco eggs at Duluth nor of pike perch eggs at Northville, and large increases were evident in the collection of lake trout and whitefish eggs at Charlevoix where the capacity of the hatchery was reached. The Put-in-Bay station realized large gains in collecting pike perch and whitefish eggs, as did the Cape Vincent station with cisco and whitefish spawn. In pond fish work the Cape Vincent station is credited with the largest production of smallmouth black bass of any station in the Northeast. DULUTH (MINN.) STATION [Warp A. Cook, Superintendent] Operating under more favorable weather conditions than were experienced during the spawning season last year, the personnel of the Duluth station collected 20,500,000 lake trout eggs. Of these, 740,000 were shipped in the eyed stage to applicants in Maine, New York, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. The remainder were incubated and most of the resulting fry and fingerling fish were planted on the spawning grounds of the species in the Michigan waters of Lake Superior. The few otherwise utilized were given to applicants for the stocking of inland waters, among them being the Minnesota Fish and Game Department, which desired the fish for the planting of inland lakes in northern Minnesota. Lake trout egg collections began October 1, approximately two weeks later than the corresponding date last year. The first field occupied was the Portage Lake Ship Canal; but by October 13 the run of spawning trout had reached a point where it was deemed desirable to start fishing at Manitou Island, Huron Island, and Portage Entry, Mich., and by October 21 all available field stations were engaged in the work. Through the efforts of commercial fishermen around the Isle Royale (Mich.) field 9,300,000 whitefish eggs were secured and incubated, and the 6,450,000 resulting fry were returned for liberation in the waters from which the eggs were derived. The high mortality experienced in the development of the eggs is believed to have been due to the adverse conditions under which they were col- lected and shipped. Through an exchange of eggs between the bureau and other parties, 237,000 eyed brook trout eggs were secured. The losses sustained in the hatchery were slight and the 214,000 fingerlings produced from the consignment were distributed by messengers to applicants in Michigan and Minnesota. In the spring cooperative pike perch egg collections were conducted in the vicinity of Bemidji, Minn., by the bureau and the Minnesota Game and Fish Depart- ment. Unfavorable weather retarded the run of fish and curtailed the supply of eggs. Asa result of the work the Duluth station secured 8,000,000 eggs. From this stock 7,500,000 fry were developed and distributed to applicants in Minne- sota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. NORTHVILLE (MICH.) STATION AND SUBSTATIONS [FRANK L. SNiPEs, Superintendent] No brood stock of trout is maintained at the Northville station. Eggs of brook trout, rainbow trout, and landlocked salmon were received and hatched during the year, and the resulting fry were reared to the fingerling size before being liberated. A few brook and rainbow trout on hand at the opening of the year were distributed and a number of fingerlings of these species remained on 662 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES hand at the close of June, 1931. With the view of developing an egg-collecting station near Highland, Mich., 600 adult rainbow trout were placed in a lake near that point. Five cooperative trout nurseries were supplied with fish. In advance of the spring spawning season the station brood stock of smallmouth black bass was transferred from the pond where it had been held during the winter to two brood ponds. At the close of the spawning season approximately 90,000 fry were collected from these inclosures and placed in three rearing ponds which had been stocked previously with adult golden shiners to serve as a source of food supply. A number of bass fingerlings produced during the spring of 1930 were distributed early in the fiscal year. Forty-eight goldfish were planted in one of the ponds as an experiment in the production of forage fish. Charlevoix (Mich.) substation—Lake trout, whitefish, brook trout, and steel- head salmon were handled during the year at this substation. Eggs of whitefish and lake trout, purchased from the commercial fishermen of the region, were incubated in the station hatchery and the resulting fry were liberated on the spawning grounds in the vicinity of the collecting points. In January 150,000 brook-trout eggs were received from the bureau’s Craig Brook (Me.) hatchery. The 146,250 fry resulting from this lot were distributed in near-by streams during April, the Charlevoix Chamber of Commerce assisting in the work. The 26,700 steelhead salmon carried over from the previous year’s activities were planted in Lake Charlevoix in August by the Charlevoix Commercial Club. A lot of 34,200 two-inch fish of this species were reared from eggs received during the year and planted in the above-named lake in the spring of 1931. Alpena (Mich.) substation.—Lake trout and whitefish eggs are collected in a number of fields near the Alpena station. Commercial fishermen strip the ripe fish, sell the eggs to the bureau, and ship the fish to market for food. On delivery to the station employees the eggs are transferred to the hatchery where the lake- trout eggs are laid down in troughs and the whitefish eggs are installed in jars for incubation. At the close of the hatching period the fry are distributed in the vicinity of the collecting fields. The number of lake-trout and whitefish eggs collected during the year 1931 was disappointing. Chlorine in the water supply caused a heavy loss of whitefish eggs, though the lake-trout eggs were not greatly affected by it. During the spring 246,000 one-inch fingerlings of the latter species were placed in a nursery at Rogers City, Mich., and held until they had attained a length of 2 inches, at which time they were planted. PUT IN BAY (OHIO) STATION [DAvip DAvigEs, Superintendent] Early in November arrangements were made with the commercial fishermen for the collection of whitefish eggs. During the spawning season of this species, extending from November 11 to the end of the first week in December, 144,300,000 eggs were secured. This number represented a 100 per cent increase as compared with the take of the previous year and was the largest season’s collection since 1923. The good results are attributable mainly to the unusually favorable weather prevailing throughout the spawning period. Collections of pike perch eggs were made between April 12 and May 4, the season’s total amounting to 479,270,000, which was largely in excess of any year’s total since 1911. The usual collections of eggs of the yellow perch and carp were omitted in 1931. During the early spring a number of adult smallmouth black bass were collected and forwarded to the Northville (Mich.) station for replenishing the brood stock at that point. In the course of the year the paint was burned and scraped from the pilot house and boiler and engine rooms of the station steamer Shearwater, and the entire boat was afterwards given three coats of paint. A new trough was constructed and installed in battery No. 3. CAPE VINCENT (N. Y.) STATION AND SUBSTATIONS [J. P. SNYDER, Superintendent] The four bass ponds partially built in the previous fiscal year were completed. These ponds were stocked in May with 500 adult smallmouth black bass. Near the end of June a total of 81,400 advanced fry had been removed and placed in public waters, and over 100,000 of the same size were awaiting shipment. Three concrete daphnia ponds were constructed. PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 663 Egg collections of the commercial fishes were confined to the New York waters of Lake Ontario, the work being done in cooperation with the New York Con- servation Commission. No pike perch eggs were obtained and only small numbers of lake trout and yellow perch eggs were available. In all, 863,000 lake trout, 20,022,000 whitefish, 92,520,000 cisco, and 2,100,000 yellow perch eggs were secured. After rearing, the majority of the resulting fry were planted in Lake Ontario. The station’s requirements for brook, Loch Leven, rainbow, and brown trout were met by the shipment of eyed eggs from outside sources. These were used for stocking the main hatchery, the substations, and the cooperative nurseries supervised from Cape Vincent station. The cooperative work is conducted in addition to that at the substations. Nurseries were located at Adams, Malone, Oneonta, and Arena, N. Y., and at Averill, Vt. The output from these projects consisted of 16,775 brook trout 6 to 10 inches long, 28,000 brook trout of smaller size, 28,000 lake trout, 5,200 Loch Leven trout, and 36,000 landlocked salmon, all per nee When the year closed 173,100 fingerling and. yearling trout were still on hand. Watertown (N. Y.) cooperative substation —A complete set of trough supports was putin. A total of 286,550 trout fingerlings were distributed, and as the year closed 672,816 fingerling trout were still on hand. Barneveld (N. Y.) cooperative substation.—To increase the facilities a battery of outside rearing troughs was installed. Operations at this point are conducted in conjunction with the Utica Chapter No. 3 of the Izaak Walton League. The output reached a total of 201,400 brook and rainbow trout of various sizes, and 477,664 young trout remained on hand at the end of June. Ithaca (N. Y.) substation.—During 1931, its first year of active production, the Ithaca substation distributed 169,285 brook trout and brown trout fingerlings and held a stock of 198,398 fingerling and yearling trout at the close of the year. The substation was used as a base for various feeding, rearing, and breeding experi- ments under the direction of Dr. G. C. Embody, of Cornell University. Swanton (Vt.) substation.—As was the case last year, the take of pike perch eggs was disappointing, only 71,570,000 being secured. In connection with the work with this species 42,800,000 eggs of the yellow perch and 7,375,000 of the white sucker were taken. The sucker eggs were taken at the request of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission. RESCUE OPERATIONS The rescue of stranded fishes in isolated pools constitutes a con- siderable portion of the bureau’s activities in the Mississippi River region. The usual summer lowering of the river level leaves many pools or ponds of water with neither inlet nor outlet. Many of these inclosures dry up or become stagnant. The fish in these former tributaries or backwashes are congregated in a small volume of water where they become easy victims of fish-eating birds, muskrats, snakes, etc., and may also be easily captured or killed by fishermen or poachers. Every summer the bureau details a number of crews of experi- enced men to seine all fish out of such inclosures. The fish are then returned to the main river and its tributaries and are used in filling applications. During the fiscal year 1931 the rescue crews saved 182,534,861 stranded fishes, this number constituting an all-time record for the work. LA CROSSE (WIS.) STATION AND SUBSTATIONS [C. F. CUuLLER, in charge] An addition of land for pond space was acquired at the La Crosse station during the year. The land has been cleared and an artesian well for water supply has been prepared. Three ponds near Lynxville, Wis., for bass propagation are now in use, and plans are being made for additional ponds for warm-water fishes at other points in this field. Success in the rearing of sunfish in the Wacouta pond near Red Wing, Minn., isreported. At this point rains caused the overflow of the pond during the bass season with a consequent loss of fish. Rescue work extended from the middle of July to November 19. Eleven crews were engaged, operating in the bottom lands along the Mississippi River from above 664 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Wabasha, Minn., to the headwaters of Lake Keokuk. A total of 156,697,141 fishes were rescued and of this number 155,720,719, or over 99 per cent, were returned to parental waters. The remainder, 976,422, were reserved for distri- bution. In former years, in connection with fish rescue operations, the bureau has con- ducted mussel infection work to the extent of an output of billions of commercial larval mussels on the gills of suitable host fishes. However, polluted conditions in the Mississippi River have increased to such an extent that mussel life has been largely exterminated, making it impossible to continue the work to advantage. Cooperative trout work in conjunction with the station’s trout operations was continued, and during the year 1931 trout establishments to the number of 46 in Wisconsin and 11 in Minnesota were operated. The Wisconsin Conservation Commission assumed control of a number of the trout nurseries previously operated by the bureau that were located where the State could conduct the work to better advantage than the bureau. This change reduced the number of cooperative trout establishments operated by the station. Cooperative bass ponds, perhaps because of the large areas required for them, have been more limited in number than the trout establishments. There is much interest in them, however, and the station has no trouble in supplying black bass fry for the ponds. The Minneapolis chapter of the Isaak Walton League is now conducting two ponds, each approximating 20 acres. In these ponds, however, bass are reared from brood stock. The Izaak Walton League at Mason City, Iowa, has also established a successful bass pond of 30 acres. A number of other bass ponds were operated commercially in Wisconsin and Minnesota. A pond of 28 acres was consigned to the rearing of pike perch at Mason City. Iowa. This cooperative work produced 25,000 6-inch fish, and is unique in the fact that it is the first large pond devoted to the rearing of pike perch to a fingerling size. Co- operative work with the Chamber of Commerce of Green Lake, Wis., resulted in a very successful collection and hatch of pickerel eggs. The cooperative establish- ments supervised from the La Crosse station are visited at least twice each season and advice and information regarding operations are made available to the cooperating parties at all times. Collections of eggs of buffalofish and carp were made at field stations along the upper Mississippi River. The buffalofish work was undertaken in cooperation with the State of Arkansas. Eggs of both species were planted in favorable waters in the vicinity where taken. This work was hindered by low water and only mediocre results were obtained. Large numbers of gar were captured and destroyed by the seine crews. Before the end of the year 2 lakes and 1 slough on Goose Island, and about 12 miles below La Crosse, were prepared for bass rearing. Other locations for further work of this character are under consideration. Bellevue (Iowa) substation.—This substation is operated as a plant for holding rescued fish prior to distribution. There were 34,000,000 carp and 29,928,000 buffalofish eggs collected in this point. These were fertilized and planted in the Mississippi River. The total collection of rescued fish in this field was 34,917,804. Marquette (Iowa) substation.—Buffalofish eggs numbering 62,190,000 and 79,- 250,000 carp eggs were collected at this station. Rescue operations included the collection and planting of 68,167,173 fishes. Lynaville (Wis.) substation.—Rescue operations at Lynxville covered the han- dling of 27,043,809 fishes. In addition this station was used for holding surplus trout from La Crosse during the spring months. Aquarium specimens and fishes for scientific investigations are collected and shipped from this point. Homer (Minn.) substation.—Vessels for the entire Mississippi rescue field are overhauled and repaired at Homer. Other activities included the handling of 16,379,935 fishes in rescue operations and the use of a number of the station’s ponds by the division of scientific inquiry in experimental fish-cultural work. UPPER MISSISSIPPI WILD LIFE AND FISH REFUGE The following report is submitted covering the biological investi- gations in the Upper Mississippi Wild Life and Fish Refuge: The river stages attained by the Mississippi River following heavy rains in late May and early June, 1930, were of value in many respects, though loss of fry and adult bass to the river was experienced in several of the ponds. The rises showed, for example, the heights to which the screens across openings to the river should be built and low points in the banks of the sloughs from which invasion by the river might be expected. They showed which ponds could be most safely used for brood ponds, and which possessed the best shore contours for the latter pur- PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 665 pose. During an invasion of the Richmond Island brood pond, negative rheo- tropism was exhibited by the bass fry in the pond. This habit of the small fry of swimming with the current showed it to be desirable to fill as many gaps be- tween the sloughs and the river as possible to avoid currents out of them. Ac- cordingly, during the summer and fall of 1930, as many of these gaps were filled as were found possible and practical. Great difficulty was experienced during the early spring of 1930 in finding adult golden shiners in sufficiently large numbers to stock nursery ponds. This experience showed that dependence could not be placed on obtaining this supply in spring before the beginning of the spawning season. A small pond, fed by springs, was built in the fall of 1930 in Perrot State Park, near Trempealeau, Wis., and over 20,000 shiners were safely wintered in it. The early introduction of the shiners in the nursery ponds has shown its value, judging from the number of oung shiners which may be seen in the ponds during the current season. Of the 157,000 largemouth bass fry trapped from the Richmond Island brood pond and transferred to the sloughs during the spring of 1930, 27,000 were re- turned to the river as fingerlings in the fall. Many of the fry probably escaped to the river soon after they were introduced in the sloughs, as the river descended following the June rise. MARINE SPECIES Due to low market prices and a scarcity of fish, the collections of cod and pollock eggs were below those of the previous year. Of the five species handled, haddock and winter flounder showed sizeable increases. All the marine species are planted as eggs and fry. The individual accomplishment of special note in this field was the record collection of over 2,500,000,000 winter flounder eggs at the Boothbay Harbor (Me.) station. BOOTHBAY HARBOR (ME.) STATION [THomaAs H. Dorr, Superintendent] A new record for the collection of winter flounder eggs was made during the fiscal year 1931. Eggs of this species to the number of 2,716,449,000 were taken from 12,572 brood fish, which were captured in fyke nets in bays and coves within a radius of 12 miles of. the station. Two boats of the bureau, the Pelican and launch 22, were used to transport them to the station. Each boat had a crew of three men and was equipped with tanks to transport the fish alive to the station, where they were held until the eggs were collected. The fry produced—2,471,262,- 000—were liberated soon after hatching on spawning grounds in the vicinity of the station. The winter flounder work extended from March 3 to April 16. On April 7 the Pelican was assigned to the cod work and, with the assistance of launch 22, covered most of the ground from Damascove Island to Seguin Island. Because of a shortage of spawn takers and lack of funds for chartering a third boat, the total cod egg collections fell far below last year’s record, when three boats were available. Adverse weather conditions during the last two weeks of the season also served to cut down the total. Cod eggs to the number of 1,083,306,000 were collected and planted on the natural spawning grounds between April 7 and June 19. In conjunction with this work 156,570,000 haddock eggs were also collected and planted. ~ Construction work on the house for the engineer was completed. Numerous repairs were made to the fish culturist’s residence and the hatchery building. A new egg stirrer, operated by electricity, was purchased and installed. A consid- erable amount of time was expended on the care of the aquarium. Work on the station boats was also necessary from time to time, and all the floating equipment was repaired and painted during the year. GLOUCESTER (MASS.) STATION [C. G. Coruiss, Superintendent] Active fish-cultural operations opened November 1, with the collection of pol- lock eggs and resulted in a take of 388,130,000, which produced 241,683,000 fry. The great falling off in this work as compared with that of recent years was due 666 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES largely to the fixing of a very low market price in November, with the result that most of the fishing boats abandoned the pollock work. The cod collections resulted in a total of 232,254,000 eggs. From eggs handled in the hatchery 77,715,000 fry were hatched and planted, and 133,482,000 green eggs were planted on the fishing grounds, the low density of the water in that area making it impracticable to transfer them to the hatchery. The comparatively small collection was brought about by an absence of cod on the spawning grounds all season. Haddock egg collections numbered 264,954,000—an increase over the work of recent years. From eggs developed in the hatchery 33,487,000 fry were produced and distributed, and 212,795,000 green haddock eggs were planted on the fishing grounds. The winter flounder work extended from March 6 to April 23. From a brood stock of 448 fish 276,562,000 eggs were secured and 252,625,000 fry hatched. The adult winter flounder were captured by means of 10 double- throated fyke nets set along the eastern shore of the outer harbor. In the off- shore operations 45,757,000 cod eggs and 59,582,000 haddock eggs were collected and planted on the fishing grounds after being fertilized. With the resumption of spring trap fishing at points within reach of the sta- tion’s launches, attention was directed to obtaining eggs of other commercially important species for incubation and to securing fish and other animal life for display in the station aquarium. Daily trips were made to these traps. Mack- erel eggs numbering 12,050,000 were taken and experimental work was tried with eggs of the scup. The scup eggs collected were turned over to the bureau’s scientific division. Collections of live fish for the Shedd Memorial Aquarium in Chicago, Ill., and the Boston (Mass.) aquarium were made. In the station’s aquarium 75 species of fish were displayed in inside tanks, while an exhibit of aquatic birds, sea turtles, seals, and sharks was maintained outside the building. The collection was shown only during the spring, summer, and early fall, and at the approach of winter all specimens were turned over to the Boston aquarium. WOODS HOLE (MASS.) STATION [G. R. HorrsEs, Superintendent] Because of the rise in water-shipping rates for small quantities of coal, a coal conveyer was purchased for handling coal delivered at the station by rail. A considerable saving in the coal bill was thus made possible. Another improve- ment was the purchase and installation of a new boiler to replace the old one, which had degenerated into an inefficient and unreliable piece of equipment. Other minor repairs and replacements were made. In the cod spawning operations, brood fish were obtained as in the past from hand-line and trap fishermen. The cod were transferred to the station and held until ripe. An unusually high production of eggs per fish was realized, over 216,000,000 being secured from 1,173 brood fish. After spawning, all brood fish on hand were turned over to the division of scientific inquiry to be tagged and released. Fyke nets for winter flounder were set in Waquoit Bay during Novem- ber, some six or eight weeks earlier than is customary. As an experiment, fish taken at that time were held to ripen, but because of the long holding period the eggs hardened in the ovaries and none could be obtained. Numbers of these winter flounder were taken, as usual, from early January to late March, and over a billion eggs were secured. Upward of 4,000 flounder were tagged by the division of scientific inquiry after the completion of spawning operations. No efforts were applied in offshore spawn-taking. ANADROMOUS SPECIES, ATLANTIC COAST Unsettled weather on the Potomac River and a scarcity of shad on the seining grounds in Albemarle Sound caused a comparatively poor collection of shad eggs. Work in collecting shad eggs and experi- ments in rearing shad in flooded rice fields were undertaken at Jack- sonboro, S. C., for the second successive year, and experimental collections of shad eggs were made near Georgetown and Yemassee, S. C., in cooperation with the State. Collections of glut herring eggs at Edenton, N.C., and of striped bass eggs at Weldon, N. C., were of average proportions. Atlantic salmon work was carried on to the capacity of the Craig Brook (Me.) station after 4,000,000 eggs were received from the Canadian Government. PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 667 FORT HUMPHREYS (VA.) SUBSTATION (CHARLES W. BURNHAM, Superintendent] The collection of shad eggs extended from April 17 to May 18 and during this period 18,341,000 eggs were taken. From this stock 15,600,000 fry were hatched and planted at suitable points along the Potomac River on the shad spawning grounds. This work followed the collection of yellow perch adults, which lasted from February 25 to March 2. From these fish, which were held in wooden erates and allowed to spawn there, 86,840,000 eggs were secured. On the com- pletion of spawning the adults were returned to their native waters and the eggs were incubated, the last of them hatching on April 28. Forty-six million, three hundred fifty thousand of the resulting fry were planted in the Potomac River and in the mouths of near-by tributary streams. The remainder of the 71,350,000 produced were delivered to the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fish- eries for stocking other waters, principally tributaries of the Potomac. Cool weather was experienced during most of the yellow perch spawning period, greatly prolonging the season. The shad spawning period was also marked by unsettled weather, and though large catches of fish were made, comparatively few with ripe eggs could be obtained. Last year’s experiment of planting a lot of 1%-inch fingerling brook trout in a small spring-fed pond resulted in a production of 300 7-inch fingerling fish. These were distributed to applicants from the main station and the pond again restocked with another lot of 1%-inch trout. A metal tank for holding water pumped from the river was installed on the hill above the station buildings and connected with an electric motor and pump arranged to operate automatically in keeping the tank filled with water. Valves and hose connections for fire protection were attached to the pipe system. A railway with carriers for transporting launches from the river to the boathouse was constructed during the year, and numerous other improvements were made. EDENTON (N. C.) STATION AND SUBSTATION [WILLIAM S. VINCENT, Superintendent] In connection with the commercial seining operations, conducted as heretofore on the Capehart Beach at Avoca, N. C., a new seine one-third longer than that operated in the past was used. Collections of both shad and glut herring eggs were made by stripping the ripe fish captured in this work. Only 4,000 shad were caught and 750,000 eggs secured. The poor results were due to a lack of shad on the spawning grounds. There was a satisfactory take of glut herring eggs, however, though from a commercial standpoint the run of herring was almost ruinous. One hundred million eggs of this species were taken. These were stripped directly in starch water instead of applying the starch water later, in accordance with past practice, and because of this new method of overcoming adhesion of the eggs the percentage of hatch was increased from 30 to 50. In other words, half of the eggs secured produced fry, whereas the losses in incuba- tion formerly approximated two-thirds of the collections. All shad and herring fry developed were liberated on or near the spawning grounds. The collection of yellow perch eggs amounted to only 1,500,000, and owing to adverse conditions during the hatching period, all of them were lost. The eggs are secured from adult yellow perch obtained from the commercial pound-net and fyke-net fisher- men operating in the vicinity of Edenton. The fish are held in a pond until ripe, when they are spawned and released. Edenton station also made experimental collections of eggs of the white perch, and while only a negligible quantity was secured, possibilities for future expansion of the work were brought to light. Weldon (N. C.) substation.—This substation is the only point where eggs of the striped bass (Roccus lineatus) are collected by the bureau. The State of North Carolina cooperates to the extent of paying half the cost of the work and assisting in the distribution of the fry. The operations during 1931 were directed by a fish culturist detailed from the Edenton station. As is the case with shad, the eggs are obtained from commercial fishermen. About 13,500,000 eggs were secured and incubated in the city water supply, producing 9,500,000 fry. These were liberated in the Tar, Neuse, and Roanoke Rivers. 668 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES ORANGEBURG (S. C.) SUBSTATIONS [G. W. HoornaGLe, Superintendent] Although no anadromous fishes are handled at the Orangeburg (5S. C.) station, the bureau operated several substations in South Carolina which handle shad, with the Orangeburg station as headquarters. Jacksonboro (S. C.) substation.—This auxiliary was in operation during the shad spawning season in March and April and a total of 4,865,000 shad eggs were collected, from which 2,884,000 fry were hatched and planted. About one-third of the number produced were planted in a flooded rice field 40 acres in area to be held until fall, when the pond will be drained and the shad liberated in the Edisto River. The production at this station was much larger than last year, and it is probable that it can be further augmented by entering into closer cooperation with the local shad fishermen. Trouble was experienced in securing male fish during the early part of the season but it was finally overcome by using a 44-inch mesh net. During the latter part of the season the males are of very small size, and they were able to pass through the mesh of the net being used. Georgetown (S. C.) substation.—The take of shad eggs in this field was very small, the season’s collection amounting to only 208,000. From this stock 104,000 fry were developed and liberated in the Black River. From the experience gained during the season it is believed that the hatchery was located too near brackish water and that much better results might be obtained by conducting the opera- tions 50 miles farther up the river. Yemassee (S. C.) substation—The initial year’s work at this point included the collection and incubation of 394,000 shad eggs and the return of the resulting fry to the spawning grounds in the Combahee River. As at Jacksonboro, a shortage of male fish hindered the operations during the greater part of the season. There is promise of greater returns in this field if the fishermen can be brought to realize that the work being done is for their direct benefit. CRAIG BROOK (ME.) STATION [GrorGrE N. MontGomeEry, Superintendent] In the course of the year the bureau secured by exchange a total of 4,000,000 eyed Atlantic-salmon eggs from the Canadian Government. Due to the crowded conditions at the Craig Brook hatchery, 3,000,000 of these were reshipped to hatcheries operated by the State of Maine, with the view of having them reared to large fingerlings and yearling sizes and then deposited in waters connected with the Atlantic Ocean. Additional shipments included 25,000 to the Nashau (N. H.) station, 25,000 to the State of California, and 200,000 to the Grand Lake Stream substation. The fingerling fish resulting from the 679,500 retained at Craig Brook hatchery were liberated in the Penobscot River, the Maine Fisheries Department cooperating in the distribution. During 1931 the largest run of Atlantic salmon in years entered the Penobscot River. Both gill-net and weir fishermen reported good catches, and hook and line fishermen at the Bangor pool caught more than ever before to their recollection. The consensus is that the increased run is due to the bureau’s activities in the propagation of this species. It is very probable that the practice followed within the past few years of raising fish to fingerling sizes before releasing them is largely responsible for the increased results. No other explanation appears plausible. FISHES OF MINOR INTERIOR WATERS The propagation of game fishes is mainly confined to inclosed waters. Variations in the supply of fish in these waters are so noticeable that it is comparatively easy to trace the causes of in- crease or decrease. This condition makes apparent to the angling public the results of fish-cultural methods, thereby enhancing the value of such work. It is the policy of all conservation organizations throughout the United States that the public waters shall be kept as well stocked as possible with game fishes because of the value of these fish in the recreational life of the people. There are few sections of the coun- PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 669 try where some stocking is not necessary, although many lakes and streams are largely self-maintaining. The increasing importance of this type of recreation and the opening of new and better roads to the waters makes necessary the expansion of game fish cultural facilities. The work has also a monetary value, visible in the in- come from licenses, expenditures for guides, boats, bait, tackle, lodging, transportation, and the various other items which go to make up the cost of a fishing trip. These costs are so indefinite, however, that no specific sum can be ascribed as a valuation of the enterprise. ROCKY MOUNTAIN TROUT STATIONS The abundance of wild fish available as a source of egg supply makes possible the major part of the activities at the Rocky Moun- tain stations and substations. The waters in this region are ex- ceptionally well suited to the raising of all species of trout. The eges secured are used primarily to meet local requirements and the surplus, which is transferred, augments inadequate egg collections in other fields. A large part of the bureau’s work in this region consists in the production of fish for stocking waters in the national parks and forests. BOZEMAN (MONT.) STATION AND SUBSTATIONS [W. T. THompson, Superintendent] Despite the handicap of low water due to drought conditions, Bozeman sta- tion and its auxiliaries experienced another record year. Collections of eggs totaled 23,480,000; and the distribution of eggs, fry, and fingerling fish amounted to 22,223,078. The distribution of fingerlings, yearlings, and adults amounted to 9,201,378 compared with 7,570,830 for the fiscal year 1930. Bozeman (Mont.) station —This station produced fingerling trout sufficient for 20 car lots by railroad distribution car in addition to a considerable number of fish distributed locally by truck and messenger. Aside from a small take of 40,300 brook-trout eggs, the station acquired its stock of eggs by transfer. Brook, Loch Leven, black-spotted, golden, and rainbow trout were included in the out- put. Success attended the rearing of Loch Leven fingerlings. Feeding experi- ments were suspended during the year because of drought conditions. Cooper- ation with the Montana Fish and Game Commission was maintained as formerly, the State delivering four truck loads of the bureau’s fish to Yellowstone Park and assisting in the transfer of adult black-spotted trout and grayling to Boze- man. The California Division of Fish and Game, the Nevada Fish and Game Commission, the Forest Service, and other agencies also cooperated in the work. Reports of spawning golden trout in the Gallatin Forest arouse hope that the bureau may soon be able to collect its own stock of eggs from these fish. Meadow Creek (Mont.) substation.—This substation exceeded its own records of 1929 in the collection of both Loch Leven and rainbow trout eggs. Its 1931 collections comprised 18,905,800 eggs of the Loch Leven trout, 42,000 of the black-spotted, 4,404,800 rainbow, and 131,400 brook trout eggs. The majority of the Loch Leven and rainbow trout eggs were shipped to other stations, including Bozeman, in the eyed stage. In exchange for some of these eggs, the Montana Fish and Game Department turned over to the bureau 1,945,500 eggs of the black-spotted trout. Shipments of Loch Leven trout eggs from Meadow Creek included 500,000 to the State of Arizona; 800,000 to Seattle, Wash., for distribu- tion to the bureau’s stations in that region; 3,709,500 to the State of Montana; and 8,311,800 to the Bozeman station. Of the rainbow trout eggs, 2,654,400 were shipped to Bozeman and 407,000 were transferred to the Glacier Park sub- station. All the brook trout eggs taken were sent to Bozeman. At the end of the year 1,128,900 of the black-spotted trout eggs received from the State of Montana were still unhatched; the remainder of the consignment had been planted in Madison Valley waters in the form of small fingerlings. Glacier Park (Mont.) substation.—In preparation for the 1931 season minor changes were made in the arrangement of the water-supply pipes and troughs, 670 U. 8. BUREAU OF FISHERIES and the electric lighting system was changed from the direct current supplied by the Glacier Park Hotel Co. plant to the alternating current supplied by the com- mercial plant operated from Browning. During the season 559,200 black-spotted trout and 225,000 rainbow trout were distributed as fingerlings by the National Park Service, after being reared at the Glacier Park station. These trout were on hand as eggs at the beginning of the fiscal year and were distributed during August and September before the hatchery closed for the winter. Hatchery operations were resumed in March, with the receipt of 582,000 eggs of the rainbow trout and 994,320 of the black- spotted trout. The eggs of the latter species were received from the Montana Fish and Game Department. The fingerlings resulting from this stock will be distributed during the fiscal year 1932, at which time the Glacier Park field will be under the direct supervision of the District Supervisor at Salt Lake City, Utah. Miles City (Mont.) substation—Lake Garberson was drawn down in early September and its output of fish distributed. The distributions included 191,180 smallmouth blackbass, 44,475 crappie, 76,700 bluegill sunfish, and 4,500 catfish, the total output being considerably in excess of that in 1930. At the close of the harvest the lake was allowed to fill and 5,224 fish were planted to serve as a brood stock during the succeeding year. This lake is operated in conjunction with the State of Montana. Dry weather has lowered its water level since the last harvest and a reduced output in 1932 is anticipated. During the past year construction work has created a new lake alongside Lake Garberson. Some difficulties were experienced in the operation of this inclosure, known as Lake Keough. Largemough black bass were introduced therein as an experimental brood stock. Two 20-pail shipments of daphnia and fresh-water shrimp and a 20-pail shipment of golden shiners were received from the bureau’s Crawford (Nebr.) station. The daphnia and shrimp were divided between the two lakes, while the shiners were allotted to Lake Keough, Lake Garberson already having been stocked with these fish. Additional work on the water supply and excavation of the lake bottoms, to facilitate drainage and harvesting, is con- templated for the near future. LEADVILLE (COLO.) STATION AND SUBSTATIONS [C. H. Van Arta, Superintendent] Station improvements during the year included the construction of a new drainage ditch 2,300 feet long from the hatchery sewer to Lake Creek. For a length of 3 miles the old wagon road above the hatchery was reconstructed and placed in condition for trucks, after which saw logs were hauled for lumber for use at Leadville and for the new Crystal Lake project. From the logs 25,315 board feet of lumber was sawed, planed, and sized at the Leadville mill. The station’s production of 3,940,100 brook, black-spotted, Loch Leven, and rainbow trout was distributed by means of the bureau’s distribution car No. 7, assisted by the station force. During the year the station acquired by transfer 545,100 black-spotted trout eggs from the Creede and Yellowstone Park substations, and from the collections made at Pyramid Lake, Nev.; 199,200 Loch Leven trout eggs and 100,000 rainbow trout eggs from the Bozeman (Mont.) station; 54,300 lake trout eggs from the Charlevoix (Mich.) station; and 180,000 rainbow trout eggs from Eagle Nest Lake, in New Mexico. In addition, the usual egg collections in private lakes under a percentage agreement were made, permitting of a total collection of 5,269,000 brook and Loch Leven trout eggs. Brook trout eggs numbering 660,000 were transferred to other stations. The rainbow trout egg collecting field at Eagle Nest Lake, N. Mex., produced 1,964,000 eggs of which 400,000 were turned over to the State of New Mexico, and 180,000 were shipped to the Leadville station. The remainder were hatched at Eagle Nest Lake, and the resulting fry were used in stocking Eagle Nest Lake and other waters in New Mexico. Crystal Lake, on a privately owned property 4% miles from the Leadville station, is being developed as a rearing pond substation. A 9-acre lake is being cleaned out and a cement outlet provided. Creede (Colo.) substation.—The fiscal year 1931 was the second year of operation of the Creede substation. Collections of eggs were made possible by percentage agreements with parties owning reservoirs containing brood stock. Brook, rain- bow, and black-spotted trout eggs numbering 1,835,000 were secured by this means, and 2,487,700 additional eggs were received by transfer. Of the total, 1,289,800 were shipped to other stations and allotted to the owners of the reser- voirs from which collections were made. Fry hatched numbered 786,000. Dis- PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 671 tributions of brook, rainbow, Loch Leven and black-spotted trout totaled 1,326,800; and numbers of eggs, fry, and fingerlings were on hand at the end of the year. YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (WYO.) SUBSTATION [C. F. CULLER and FRED J. FosTER, in charge] The spawning season at the Yellowstone Park station in the summer of 1930 was a normal one in every respect. The crew reached Yellowstone Lake on May 13, and the station was closed for the season on September 13. Work began under the direction of District Supervisor C. F. Culler. On July 1, with the creation of the new Rocky Mountain region, the operations were transferred to the supervision of District Supervisor Fred J. Foster. The new hatchery building, which had been practically completed in the fall of 1929, was placed in commission in June, 1930, and operated for the first time. The vast improvement over former conditions was greatly appreciated by the station crew and also by the thousands of visitors, who viewed the splendid new aquarium and the operations in the hatching room from the raised balcony especially constructed for the purpose. During the year one concrete rearing pool, 60 feet long and 8 feet wide, was constructed east of the new lake hatchery. It was connected with Hotel Creek by 1,200 feet of 6-inch wood pipe, which was also tapped into the hatchery line for emergency use. A building 80 feet long by 22 feet wide was constructed for the housing of a garage, a workshop, storage room, and food preparation room. The three rearing pools west of the hatchery were completely reconstructed, and a quantity of débris and fallen timber was removed from around them. At Mammoth Springs a log frame building, 12 feet by 20 feet in dimensions, was constructed. It contains two rooms, one for food preparation and the other for the storage of equipment. Five hundred feet of 12-inch wood pipe was installed for bringing hot water to the rearing pools. One of the rangers of the National Park Service was detailed to cooperate in the distribution of fish in the interest of park fishing conditions and rendered excellent service by distributing from the Mammoth rearing pools a large number of 14-inch to 4-inch fingerling black-spotted, Loch Leven, and rainbow trout. The superintendent of Yellowstone Park considers that the distribution accom- plished during the season was the best that has ever been made in park waters. Increased demands for fish have been made from the surrounding region, par- ticularly the Jackson Hole country; and increased distributions were made, especially to the national forests in this area. The collection of black-spotted trout eggs for the season numbered 15,389,000 or approximately 750,000 more than in the preceding year. Of this total 1,654,000 were collected from fish caught in trap nets, this constituting a new departure in securing fish in Yellowstone Lake. Judging from the experience gained, it is believed that this form of collecting fish will be of much importance in future years. As the fish do not seem to ascend the stream in some years as well as in others, the fishing of nets at various points in the lake may tend to offset years of short runs in the creeks. The Mammoth rearing pools were operated from July 10 to the close of 1930, principally to determine the advisability of operating these pools through the winter. It was found, however, that warm water from the Mammoth Hot Springs was of sufficient quantity to operate not more than three pools and that it was impracticable to mix the warm springs water with the summer supply from Gardiner River without lowering the temperature to a point where the growth of the fish would be greatly retarded. During the fall and spring when ice was forming or breaking up in Gardiner River great difficulty was experienced in maintaining an even temperature with the mixed river and spring water, as the cold water supply would be checked by the ice formation, thus creating a balance in favor of the warm water and sometimes causing temperature fluctua- tions of 10 degrees within a half hour. Owing to these conditions it is not con- seed advisable to again operate the Mammoth rearing pools in the winter months. SARATOGA (WYO.) STATION {(S. M. ArInswortH, Superintendent] During the year a third electric wire was run from the electric plant in the town of Saratoga to the station, to permit the installation of an electric motor to furnish power for preparing fish food. The use of an additional hatching room has greatly facilitated the handling of fry and fingerlings. All the hatching 672 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES troughs were kept well filled with fingerlings, though fish were planted as rapidly as they could be handled for a period of more than six weeks. Collections of brook trout eggs were disappointing as to number but additional shipments received from other stations of the bureau should permit of a record output of this species during the latter part of 1931. The brood Loch Leven trout produced sufficient eggs to meet the needs of the station and allow for the shipment of 100,000 eggs to outside points. The station received more applications for that species during the year than ever before. In 1928 a few black-spotted trout eggs received from Pyramid Lake, Nev., were placed in one of the brood stock ponds and during the spring of 1931 the two hundred and twenty-five 3-year-old fish held therein yielded 125,000 eggs of good quality. Rainbow trout egg collections were better than had been antic- ipated in advance of the spawning season, taking into consideration the low stage of water both in Pathfinder Reservoir and the streams emptying into it. Some of these streams did not carry sufficient water to enable the larger fish to ascend as far as the traps, though the traps are located as near to backwater in the reser- voir as is practicable during anormal season. A cloud-burst in the upper part of Lost Creek so flooded the hatchery there that more than 3 inches of mud was washed into the troughs, making it imperative to immediately plant in parent waters all eggs and fry on hand in an effort to save as many of them as possible. An additional shipment of fry was diverted from the main station to the Lost Creek field in order to replace the stock lost. A temporary battery of troughs was set up at a small spring near the Lost Creek hatchery to ascertain if it would be possible with a better supply of water to save many more eggs from the later collections. The experiment proved quite satisfactory. ‘Two hundred thousand eggs of the black-spotted trout were received from Pyramid Lake, Nev. A number of finger- lings resulting from them had been planted before the year closed and 159,000 were still on hand in the hatchery. SPEARFISH (S. DAK.) STATION AND SUBSTATION [D. C. Boot, Superintendent] The cottages occupied by the station superintendent and fish culturist were shingled during the year and a new gas-heating system was installed for heating the hatchery building and residences. The intake from the creek, which supplies water to the larger hatchery ponds, was improved to provide a more adequate and safe supply. The activities at this station are concerned with the propaga- tion of the brook, rainbow, and Loch Leven trout. Eggs of these fishes number- ing 1,410,475 were taken from the station brood stock, and of the 610,900 rain- bow trout eggs secured over 400,000 were transferred to other stations and exchanged for brook trout eggs. The year’s distributions of fish numbered 1,919,- 240, of which 574,790 were large fingerling trout that had been carried over from the hatch of the previous year. The brood stock of Loch Leven trout, consisting of 2,171 fish measuring 12 to 25 inches in length, was released in suitable waters. This action was taken because Loch Leven trout eggs are obtainable from the _ Montana field, where they are collected from wild stock at a much lower cost than is involved in the maintenance of a brood stock of this species. A consid- erable amount of favorable comment and newspaper publicity has been ascribed to the work of the bureau in this region in maintaining sport fishing. Crawford (Nebr.) substation.—Work connected with the completion of this substation was continued throughout the year. Two cement ponds were con- structed at the north end of the hatchery, the flagpole base was made, the pole set in position, and walks were laid. An auxiliary water supply was piped to the hatchery for tempering the main water supply, which is too warm in summer to maintain trout and too cold in winter for the incubation of healthy fry. The first floor and basement of the apprentice fish culturist’s cottage was completed. A nursery pond was constructed near the source of the auxiliary water supply at a distance of several miles from the hatchery. No brood stock of fish has as yet been established at the Crawford substation and all stock furnished during the year was in the form of eyed eggs shipped in from outside sources, the total shipments comprising 646,015 brook, -rainbow, and Loch Leven trout eggs. The losses sustained in their development were small. Some of the resulting fish were distributed as small fingerlings, but the majority were held over to be planted as large-size fingerlings during the fiscal ers! 1932. A lot of 48,275 trout 4 to 7 inches in length, carried over from the atch of the previous year, were distributed. The pond fish distributed were PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 673 obtained from Minatare and McDowell Lakes, and black bass were transferred here from the Miles City (Mont.) substation. A total of 92,825 fingerling and adult pond fishes, consisting of catfish, bream, black bass, and yellow perch, formed part of the station’s output for the year. SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) STATION [CLAUDIUS WALLIcCH, Superintendent] The collection of eggs from rainbow trout brood stock, numbering 2,951,000, exceeded that of the preceding year; and it would have been much larger had not a cloudburst caused the escape of about 900 spawning fish. As approximately 3,000 first-year spawners will be available from growing stock next fall, however, the station will doubtiess be in a position to produce a continuously increasing output of this species. The year’s distribution of fingerling fish amounted to 1,910,800 as compared with a production of 1,619,000 last year. The distribution was effected by making a considerable number of trips with the State tank truck and 74 messenger trips, the total mileage involved amounting to 30,200. Only about one-fifth of the fish shipped were as small as No. 2}4 fingerlings; the remainder consisted of No. 3 fingerlings and larger. So far as the resistance of the Indians is concerned the work of collecting black-spotted trout eggs in the Pyramid Lake (Nev.) field is now on a fairly sound basis. During the spring of 1931 4,877,000 of these eggs were secured. Work in the Fish Lake (Utah) field was conducted as usual in cooperation with the State. From this source the bureau derived 1,773,000 brook trout eggs and 733,000 rainbow trout eggs. The State, as per agreement, received a larger share. A total of 2,912,000 eyed eggs were shipped from the Springville station during the year. Of this number 990,000 were black-spotted trout eggs, taken in Pyramid Lake; 927,000 were rainbow and brook trout eggs, from the Fish Lake field; and 995,000 were rainbow trout eggs, from the station brood stock. NEW ENGLAND TROUT STATIONS Outstanding accomplishments at these stations included the col- lection of more than 4,000,000 brook trout eggs at the Craig Brook (Me.) station and of more than 7,000,000 brook trout eggs at the York Pond (N.H.) station. The York Pond station is being enlarged to provide adequate fish-hatching apparatus and ponds. BERKSHIRE (MASS.) STATION [E. P. THomrson, Acting Superintendent] Drought conditions cut down the water supply, making it necessary to dig for an additional supply. Four ditches were cut into the steep bank back of the springhouse. These ditches were about 50 feet long and varied in depth from 3 feet at the entrance to 15 feet at the back end. Approximately 100 gallons a minute were made available by these excavations. The station brood stock of brook trout yielded 750,000 eggs, of which 308,000 were shipped to the Nashua (N. H.) station and 2,000 to the Bruce Museum at Greenwich, Conn. There were 334,715 brook trout fingerlings, yearlings, and adults, 4,325 yearling catfish and 366 smallmouth black bass fingerlings and adults distributed. There were 35,042 brook trout fingerlings and yearlings on hand at the end of the season. Of the brook trout distributed, 50,800 were furnished to 10 cooperative nurseries. A 20-foot space was added to the east end of the garage, making room for two automobiles on the ground floor, and increasing the storage room above. One- half of the Pond A dam, about 60 feet, was rebuilt. A small dam was constructed at the upper end of the lower hatchery, making a small pond between the two hatcheries, and the side walls and top of pond 3 were faced with 8 inches of con- crete. Numerous minor repairs to buildings and equipment were made. On account of frequent rains it was necessary to haul many loads of gravel to keep the roads in condition. 674 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES CRAIG BROOK (ME.) STATION AND SUBSTATION [GEORGE N. MONTGOMERY, Superintendent] The record production of 4,085,600 brook trout eggs secured from the station brood stock during the year necessitated the transfer of over a million eyed eggs to other stations. A large number of the fish resulting from the retained eggs were distributed as Nos. 1 and 2 fingerlings, and 268,800 fingerlings were on hand at the end of the year. The 118,400 fingerling brook trout and 73,966 land- locked salmon fingerlings carried over from the stock of the previous year were delivered to applicants. Additional landlocked salmon eggs numbering 700,000 were received from the bureau’s Grand Lake Stream auxiliary and from the State of Maine. ‘Transfers of eyed eggs were made to the Grand Lake Stream sub- station, to the York Pond (N. H.) station and to the Bozeman (Mont.) station. Fingerlings resulting from the retained stock to the number of 295,400 were liberated and 132,000 were on hand at the close of the year. During the year the capacity of the hatchery was increased by the building of additional ponds. A new piping system for the hatchery troughs was installed, and numerous repairs were made to the station equipment. Grand Lake Stream (Me.) substation.—Of the stock on hand at the opening of the year 255,355 landlocked salmon, brook trout, and Atlantic salmon from 1% to 3 inches long were distributed. The Atlantic salmon were distributed in conjunction with distribution work conducted by the State of Maine. The fall collection of landlocked salmon eggs numbered 1,241,715. Of these 668,840 were shipped in the eyed stage to other stations. This substation received from the main station at Craig Brook 75,000 landlocked salmon eggs, 200,000 brook trout eggs, and 200,000 Atlantic salmon eggs. In the latter part of the year 365,000 fingerling fish were distributed and at the end of June, 1931, 413,990 fingerlings were being carried in the station ponds. The only construction work accomplished consisted in minor repairs and improvements, including the paint- ing of the hatchery and other buildings. ST. JOHNSBURY (VT.) STATION AND SUBSTATION [A. H. DINSMORE, Superintendent] Except for the resumption of activities with the smallmouth black bass, the fry of which were collected from open waters and transferred to the station ponds for rearing, the work of the St. Johnsbury station was conducted along the same lines as in past years. Fry to the number of 1,424,529 were produced from a total of 1,509,062 eggs, of which 1,327,349 were brook trout. The remainder were Loch Leven trout and landlocked salmon and steelhead salmon in nearly eyual numbers. Owing to the unsuitable nature of the station’s water supply for the production of fingerlings, the majority of the fish hatched were distributed as fry, though a few fingerlings of the three last-named species were on hand at the close of the year. York Pond (N. H.) substation.—The main purpose of the work in this field is the production of brook trout eggs from carefully selected brood stock held under semiwild conditions. During the fall of 1930 a total of 7,277,933 eggs of that species were collected, this number representing an increase of approximately 50 per cent over the collection of the preceding year. As a by-product the station produced 330,750 unfed fry, 288,400 fingerlings, 72 yearlings, and 1,240 adult brook trout. Some of these were supplied to applicants and the remainder were planted in public waters in northern New England. An attempt to handle landlocked salmon resulted in almost complete failure. Apparently the very favorable natural conditions existing at the station for brook trout propagation are in some way inimical to the salmon. This theory seems to accord with the fact that brook trout and landlocked salmon are rarely found together in a wild environment. The availability of a special appropriation of $25,000 permitted the continuance of development work at the station during the year. The funds were utilized in the purchase of a gasoline excavator, in improving the station well, canal, and pond systems, and in the construction of permanent buildings to take the place of the temporary buildings used since the inauguration of the bureau’s fish cultural work in this field. Cement blocks, made at the station, are being used in the construction work, together with lumber manufactured from logs cut on the reservation. PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 675 PITTSFORD (vT.) STATION [Dr. H. 8. Davis, Director; R. F. Lorp, in charge] During the first part of the fiscal year five ponds for large fingerlings and older trout were constructed. Concrete was used to replace wood planking in the sides of a 60-foot double raceway, anda concrete wall was constructed at the lower end of the ice pond. Feeding experiments resulted in a fine growth and remarkable coloration of trout fed on dried salmon eggs in combination with liver. Experiments empha- sized the fact that certain dried products can be used in combination with fresh meats with as good or better results than can be obtained when straight fresh meats are used. The lower prices of these dried products allows considerable saving in food costs. The establishment of superior strains of trout through selective breeding was continued throughout the year. Selection is based on growth, health, and number and fertility of the eggs produced. There were on hand at the end of the fiscal year 150 different lots of trout, separate records being maintained for each lot. Most gratifying results are being obtained in this work. Distribution at this station was confined to the disposal of surplus fish. Obser- vations are being made of the results of the planting of 6,900 yearling Montana grayling. These fish were planted in a tributary of the Middlebury River in August, 1930; and during May, 1931, they were reported as being healthy and possessed of good growth. NASHUA (N. H.) STATION {JAMES D. DEROCHER, Superintendent] In addition to regular operations this station has supplied with fish and super- vised 10 cooperative stations maintained by fish and game clubs. These clubs exhibited a keen interest in the work. They were supplied with 95,000 brook trout 2 inches in length during the previous fiscal year, from which 39,300 finger- lings of a length of 5 inches resulted. These were distributed in October and November of 1930. Last season was a very dry one but as there were occasional rains during the season of 1931, the prospects are for a better output of fish than that of last year. Regular fish-cultural operations included the rearing and distribution of brook trout, Atlantic salmon, landlocked salmon, rainbow trout, smallmouth black bass, and catfish. Brook trout eggs numbering 184,235, 26,435 smallmouth black bass fry and fingerlings, and 950 catfish were produced from the station brood stock. Transfers from other points increased greatly the number of eggs handled. Over 400,000 trout of all sizes and 27,385 fingerling smallmouth black bass and catfish were distributed. A total of 316,625 trout and salmon was on hand at the end of the year. COMBINATION TROUT AND POND FISH STATIONS All of these stations realized satisfactory outputs with the excep- tion of that at Erwin, Tenn. Drought greatly affected the water supply at several of the stations and varying weather throughout the pond fish spawning season cut down production. At the Man- chester (Iowa) and Tishomingo (Okla.) stations additional ponds for the production of bass and sunfish were constructed. ERWIN (TENN.) STATION [A. G. KEESECKER, Superintendent] Eggs numbering 788,150 were collected from the rainbow trout brood stock. Two lots of brook trout eggs were received from the Craig Brook (Me.) station. The trout produced were distributed as fingerlings to applicants. Only 9,000 rainbow trout fingerlings were carried into the 1932 fiscal year. Work with largemouth black bass allowed a distribution of 35,775 fingerling bass. Distri- butions of other pond fishes were: Rock bass, 11,610; sunfish, 26,340; all finger- lings. Largemouth black bass numbering approximately 10,000, 15,000 rock bass and 12,000 sunfish were on hand at the end of the year. Cold and rainy weather affected the spawning of the pond fishes and was largely responsible 676 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES for the low output. The usual maintenance repairs and improvements were carried on and a new garage and storage room was planned during the year and partially constructed. ; MANCHESTER (IOWA) STATION (G. H. Git, Superintendent] The fish-cultural activities at Manchester consisted mainly of the propagation of rainbow and brook trout. Although the rearing of the pond fishes is not attempted on a large scale, four earth ponds are reserved for the rearing of small- mouth black bass and rock bass. During the season rainbow trout eggs totaling 862,900 were collected. Consignments of 436,000 eyed eggs were shipped to other stations or supplied to applicants. The remaining stock was reserved to be hatched and reared for later distribution. Brook trout eggs to the number of 923,000 were received by transfer. The year’s total trout distributions amounted to 1,276,200, and at the end of June 92,000 rainbow trout and 152,400 brook trout fingerlings were still on hand. The prevalence of furunculosis among the brood stock of rainbow trout caused a heavy mortality. One thousand adult rainbows were killed and buried in lime, on instructions of the district supervisor, and all ponds, drains, and equip- ment were disinfected with slacked lime or potassium permanganate. Improvements consisted in enlarging Pond Z, hauling 125 cubic yards of clay for the bottom and sides of the large bass pond, erecting framework over the rearing ponds and covering it with poultry netting, constructing 100 feet of cement flume near the brood ponds, and removing 65 feet of wooden drain at the rearing ponds and replacing it with an 8-inch terra-cotta pipe. Cement holding platforms were also installed at the head of canal ponds Nos. 2 and 3. NEOSHO (MO.) STATION AND SUBSTATIONS [W. H. THomas, Superintendent] This station and its auxiliaries experienced a very satisfactory year notwith- standing the fact that the extended drought materially affected the water supply of both the Bourbon and Langdon substations. The total number of eggs, fry, and fingerlings handled amounted to 3,277,255, all from station stock. Neosho (Mo.) station.—The physical condition of the station is satisfactory with the exception of a few needed minor repairs to pond walls and banks, which were damaged by winter frost. There has been no epidemic disease either in the brood stock or fingerling fish, and the rainbow trout spawn was of a slightly better quality than in the previous year. Experiments in the feeding of rainbow trout during the year again demonstrated that better results are obtainable at this station by including a portion of sheep liver in the diet. During the winter a shipment of eyed Loch Leven trout eggs was received from the Bozeman (Mont.) station. The eggs were in good condition when received and they developed normally, but the young fish resulting from them would not partake readily of the several foods offered. For this reason their growth has not been equal to that of rainbow trout of the same age. Continued experiments at this station in pond culture have resulted satisfactorily as compared with former years. The output of pond fishes during the past two years has been greater than in the best four years in the previous history of the work in this field. Bourbon (Mo.) substation—This station is operated on a cooperative basis with the owners of the property, and the interest of the bureau is in the production of rainbow trout spawn. All fish reared belong to the owners, for use as future brood stock or for such other disposition as they may desire. Owing to the heavy loss of yearling fish as a result of the flood in August, 1929, fewer 2-year-old spawners than heretofore were available. For this reason the egg collections were smaller than those of the previous year. The prevailing drought during the summer of 1930 also cut down the spring water supply to the extent that the flow was only about 40 per cent of normal. Langdon (Kans.) substation.—As in past years the collections of pond fishes consisted of black bass, crappie, bluegill sunfish, and other pond species, with black bass forming the larger portion of the total. As was the case in other fields, the drought had an adverse effect upon the work, and while fairly satisfactory collections were obtained, they were not as large as they would have been under normal weather conditions. Some of the ponds dried up for the first time since they were built 25 years ago, causing the total loss of all fish held therein. o PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 677 Tishomingo (Okla.) substation.—A low head dam and race for conducting the water supply to the ponds was built. The dam is of concrete, across Pennington Creek, and the present length of the race is 5,500 feet. In the construction of the race approximately 7,000 yards of rock and earth were moved, and 4 tons of dynamite were used to assist in its removal. Eight ponds covering an area of 14 acres and six minnow ponds were built during the year, necessitating the removal of some 25,000 yards of earth. . 255) ss eee eee 2, 500, 000 Ode 25s ee eee 1, 073, 573, 000 WVellow perch: 03222 Ss es 150 Haddock:2026.- Seas eee , 069, Delaware: Wianter flowunders.- ss eee 2, 471, 262, 000 Largemouth black bass_.._---.-- 620 | Maryland: Sunhishtis: 9 26 ee - 70 || Gatish 5.222342 ose eee 500 Florida: | Ohinooksalmon== te 8, 000 Largemouth black bass__....-_-- 140 || Rainbow trout... ee ee 115, 100 Smallmouth black bass_...--.---- 400 || Brook A pepe a eins eee 124, 400 Rock (Dass 2 eke we ae ae a 400 |, CRED DOs seas ene eae 1, 300 Suntish 22 es eke eee ee 1,000 |, Tareenaatn black; pbass_ 22222 10, 700 Georgia: | Sunfishis 23.2625: See eee 830 Cattish se san ee a oe 1, 550 || Pike percls 220) e205 eee 600, 000 Pain Dow Lroubs. = eeeeet ae eee 91, 800 || Massachusetts: Brook aa pate eueenuce Se kes 24, 100 Gatfish ase fo a eee 5, 746 Crappie=2ossese2o oo ea cee 4,955 Landlocked salmon._-_.-.-------- 4, 000 Taeoate black bass......---- 210, 505 Ralnbow thout-o oe ee 268, 200 Sunfish) eee ee ee ee 195, 730 Loch Leven trout_----..-.------ 100, 000 Idaho: Brook tromtasei3- ose ee 136, 675 Chinook salmon?--¢ 22-022 972, 000 Mackerelss 252s 52ese aan 8, 580, Steelhead salmon.-.........------ 261, 050 Crappies®- 5. eet eee eee Landlocked salmon_..____--..--_ 6, 8 Smallmouth black bass_-..------ 17, 375 Rainbowsbroutesss eee ae 755, 250 Mellow perch. 2.7 --kt ae 150 Golden'trout= esc ee 2, 600 Codes =. os ba fee 441, 992, 000 Black-spotted trout._...--..--__ 435, 000 Haddocks <2... ee eres 240, 369, 000 Illinois: IPOliggk tt -e= ee eee een 240, 219, 000 @atfishis:: << pee eee ese 175 Winter flounder:.-_-2--2-. 522 1; 433, 406, 000 Bilver salmon oo eee eee ae 225, 792 || Michigan Rain bowel!

Blanks on which formal requests for fish may be made are furnished by the bureau. These blanks call for a complete description of the waters to be stocked, and from this PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 685 information are determined the species of fish that is suitable and the number that can be apportioned to the water area in question. The bureau finds it impracticable to investigate the condition of all streams to determine their suitability for “particular species of fish, although such a study would be highly desirable, as it would afford a basis for intelligent assignments. Since this is not prac- ticable at present and the bureau is required to rely on information furnished by applicants, it is decidedly important that such infor- mation be as accurate and complete as possible. Applicants are notified immediately upon receipt of their requests concerning the species assigned and the approximate date of delivery, and are given full directions for receiving and caring for the fish. Before shipment is made a second notice is given, usually by telegram, stating the exact time of arrival of the fish at the railroad station. The fish are delivered at the station without expense to the appli- cants. In the event that it becomes necessary to delay shipment, the applicant is notified accordingly. NEW TARIFF COVERING SHIPMENTS IN BAGGAGE CARS For a number of years the bureau has been given the privilege of carrying in baggage cars, when accompanied by an attendant holding transportation covering ‘his own passage, not to exceed twenty 10- gallon cans of live fish or 20 cans or crates of fish eggs, or 20 such containers combined, free without check with each attendant. Within recent years the bureau has been using a special pail of approximately 5-gallon capacity which will safely transport as many fish as are ordinarily carried in one of the old 10-gallon cans. The pails weigh only 40 pounds each when filled with water and they can be stacked in a small space and one man can handle two of them with ease. In the view of the above, the secretary of the Association of General Baggage Agents was written with the view of obtaining permission to carry 40 instead of 20 pails in a messenger shipment. The baggage standard rules committee recommended the following tariff govern- ing the transportation of fish which has already been published by the New England, Trunk Line, and Central Passenger Associations: Less than carload lots only when shipped by Federal or State authorities and when accompanied by an attendant holding transportation covering his own assage. i Gieto exceed forty 5-gallon pails of live fish or twenty 10-gallon cans of live fish, or 20 cans or crates of fish eggs, or 20 such containers combined, will be carried free without check in regular baggage service with each attendant. Train baggagemen will allow attendants to enter baggage car in order to give shipments such attention as may be necessary while en route. Empty cans, crates, and pails will be returned free, if properly tagged, without being accompanied by attendants. COOPERATION WITH THE UNITED STATES FOREST SERVICE The problem of keeping the national forests well stocked with fish is becoming more acute every year, due to the increased number of anglers. The forests, while largely wildernesses, are easily accessible because of the thousands of miles of good roads and trails. Their wide distribution makes them natural ‘centers of summer recreation. Everything possible is being done by the bureau in cooperation with 686 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES the Forest Service to provide good fishing on these governmental reservations. A report from the Acting Forester, under date of August 28, 1931, gives the total fish planted by regional foresters as follows: : ; Number Region Locality planted [eee ee ne ca Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Washington__._..___.__--....__-____. -_------__ 14, 616, 900 PE the i ea Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wry online. eer 2 eee See 5 Re Se ee 7, 841, 000 Oren ea ‘Arizona;-and New IMiexicorqpetcns3 eh See Le ee a ee ee ee 16, 000 At Sie. 2a Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming-_.-__..-.-____--_-_---_-__- 34, 650, 571 pe Rae ie Ee Galifornia- and Nevada: <3 -S > Se 2 oe ee eee 4, 633, 675 6iceseces Oregon and: Washington sso 0 a a ee ee eee (1) frees Nee ht Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia West irpinia: 26) sen. © oS eek ee ee eee) ieee ee 582, 579 Seer eee (Alaska S02" ice ses ee ale a eh ee enn AB 2 Be cee 1 ee sore a Enuron Forest only 22233 oe be eee Ee ee ee 113, 700 1 None reported. The planting in region 6 is probably done by State officials, and therefore no report is made. Region 9 was recently organized and a report was received from only one forest in that region. It is the opinion of the Acting Forester that the total above given therefore falls short of the number of fish actually planted. DISTRIBUTION CARS CAR NO. 7 [K. P. Irwin, Captain] On July 1, 1930, the car left La Crosse for Malta, Colo., to take up the trout distribution from the Leadville station. Several detached messenger trips and four car trips were made to complete the distribution after which the car pro- ceeded to Marquette, Iowa, arriving there on August 4 to take up the distribu- tion from the Mississippi River rescue stations. Several messenger trips and 11 car trips were made from Marquette, Iowa, Lynxville and La Crosse, Wis., to the States of Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. One car trip was made from the Fairport (Iowa) station to West Virginia with pond fishes. The La Crosse distribution was finished with the completion of the Virginia trip and the car returned to La Crosse on November 14. ; A boiler watch was maintained for heat and constant watch was kept to pre- vent the pipes from freezing during the cold winter months. Minor repairs were made to the interior of the car. On January 27 orders were received to proceed to Charlevoix, Mich., to take up the distribution of whitefish from the hatchery at that point. Three carload eee were made from Charlevoix, after which the car returned to La rosse. Three messenger trips were made from Lynxville, Wis., to Miles City, Mont., with brood bass for the cooperative ponds at that point. Capt. E. R. Widmyer was made foreman at the Charlevoix (Mich.) station and K. P. Irwin succeeded him on April 1. The car made five trips and messengers made several detached trips from the La Crosse station between April 1 and May 16 when the car left for Duluth, Minn., to commence the lake trout and pike perch work from that station. Three boat trips with lake trout were made by messenger and five car trips with lake trout and pike perch as well as several detached messenger trips with both lake trout and pike perch were made from Duluth, and the car left on June 2, proceeding to Manchester, Iowa, where a carload of brook trout was picked up and delivered to applicants in Wyoming and to the National Park Service at Gardiner, Mont., to be planted in waters within Yellowstone Park. The car PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 687 then proceeded to Bozeman, Mont., arriving there on June 13 to take up the trout work from the station there. A total of 5 carloads were taken from Bozeman, 2 going to Glacier Park, Mont., to be planted in waters within the park, the other 3 being delivered to individual applicants in Wyoming. During the fiscal year the car made 37 trips traveling 32,253 paid miles and 160 free miles. It handled 41,961,700 fish, filling 1,586 applications widely scattered in 21 States. The number and sizes of the fish delivered by the car and its crew are shown in the following table: | Species Fry eee Ree | Adults CAD aS) Oe a ee eer Ee 57, 640 105 540 VANDI ROG Ra ie Sena ok
