The Fifth Annual Meeting of the American Fish Cul-

turists’ Association convened at No. 10 Warren Street, New
York City, February 8th, 1876, at 10 o’clock, A. M.
_ The meeting was called to order by Mr. Robert B. Roose-
yelt of New York City, President of the Association, who in
his introductory remarks spoke of the artificial propagation of
Sturgeon. rest

_ The Secretary of the Society (A. 8. Collins), being absent,
on motion of Mr. Geo. Shepherd Page, M. C. Edmunds was
elected Secretary pro tempore.

A letter was read from Mr. B. F. Bowles, Treasnrer of the
Association, ‘in which he stated that it was impossible for him

_to meet with the Association, and thereupon George E. Ward
was elected Treasurer pro tempore.

A paper was received from Seth Green on the propagation
of Trout by the Commissioners of Fisheries in New York, and
a communication from Dr. E. Sterling of Cleveland, Ohio, on
anomalies in the propagation of Svantcacts both of which are
herewith appended.

Fred. Mather gave the Association a short account of his
experience in Shad culture at the South, under the auspices of
the General Government, in which he complains of the want
of parent fish in the rivers South to propagate from. He
thought the fish, if successfully propagated, in the various
Shad streams in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, would have to be transplanted from the streams in
the North.

4 Report of the American

Mr. Mather further spoke of his connection with the
Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia. Having been appointed
Superintendent of the Live Fish Department, he requested
members of the Association to send specimens, and otherwise
aid in the display of fish at the Centennial Exhibition.

"On motion of B. B. Porter, a committee was appointed
to make nominations of officers for the Association the year
ensuing.

The President appointed as said. committe, B. B. Porter
of New Jersey, C. B. Evarts of Vermont,-and Wm. M. Hud-
son of Connecticut.

Dr. Edmunds of Vermont, offered the following Reso-
lution :

Resolved,—That application be made for a room in the
Centennial Building at Philadelphia for the collection of books
and pamphlets treating on American fish culture.

The resolution was adopted, and the President apooinead
Geo. Shepherd Page of New York, A. B. Malcomson, Jr. of
New York, and John J. Miner of Brooklyn, N. Y., as commit_
tee to make application, as provided by the foregoing resolution.

On motion, it was voted that the Association adjourn to
meet at 2 o'clock, P. m.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The Association met pursuant to adjournment, and the
report of the nominating committee was taken up, and on
motion, adopted.

The Society then proceeded to the election of officers for the
year ensuing, and the following named members were duly
elected offline of the Society :

For President—Rosr. B. Roosrvert, New York Gity.

For Vice-President—Gro. SuerHerp Pac, New York City.
For Treasurer—Evcrnse G. Biacxrorp, New York City.

Fish Culturists’ Association. 5

For Exeentive Committee—H. J. Reeper, Frep. Mararr,
Avex. Kenr, W. F. Wurircuer, Sera Green.

After the election of officers, Prof. Milner of the Smithso-
nian Institute, Washington, D. G., entertained the Association
with an account of the work accomplished by the United States
Fish Commission, which was quite interesting.

H. H. Thomas offered a resolution fixing the price of
Trout Eggs, which upon a vote of the Society was lost.

Mr. Eugene G. Blackford then offered a resolution for the
consideration of the Society, which he prefaced with the fol-
lowing remarks :

I beg to call the attention of the gentlemen present to a
subject of great interest. As the topics treated by the Fish
Culturists’ Association have augmented in number, so has the
interest increased. If we have developed a scientific inquiry
into the natural history of the subjects treated by the Society,
the practical aims of fish culture have certainly been strength-
ened thereby. I am desirous of introducing before you a prac-
tical subject, one of figures, at which you must not be afraid.
‘It is even something worse than figures, it is statistics. Now
we are all of us as yet, working very much in the dark. Let
us take the subject of Trout raised by our fish culturists. What
do we know about the number of them produced? It is impos-
sible that we should see clearly what we are driving at, unless
we start with that which must be the foundation on which we
must build. Suppose this was a live stock association, given
to the raising of horses or cows. The first thing they would
do, being practical people, would be to get some positive data
as to production; once production noted, consumption could
be readily deduced. It would be of great importance for the
Association to know how many Trout were artificially produced,
and sold in the various markets of the country. Starting from
this point, I should be even desirous of going further. If the

6 Report of the American.

Smithsonian Institute, so ably represented in our Association
by Professor Baird, is laboring to account for the increase or
diminishing of certain classes of sea fish in various years, this
can only be arrived at, by his being fully informed as to the catch
of fish on our coast. The hearsay ought to be discarded, and
nothing but the positive facts cared for. If France and a por-
tion of England give yearly statistics as to the harvests of the
seas, why should we not furnish the same thing to the Ameri-
can public? I should think that so far as regards Trout cul-
turists, the Fish Commissioners of the various States might.
without any great trouble, furnish what would be a reliable
account of the cultivated Trout sold within their jurisdictions. ~
As to the sea fish, such an important subject, having to do with -
the food of the people, I do not see why facts in regard to them

are not obtainable, though to secure them, the means to be

employed would be more difficult. Having these ideas in view,

I shall propose the following preamble and resolution :

Whereas, The Fish Culturists’ Association believe that data
in regard to the catch of staple tish, such as are sold in the
markets of the country, would be of great importance, ailowing
the positive determination of questions of vast commercial and
scientific importance, be it

Resolved, That the Fish Culturists” Association request
the Fish Commissioners to urge on the State Governments, of
which they are the representatives, the necessity of the State
appointing certain otticers whose duties shall be to collect such
data, so that reliable information may be obtained in regard to
the catch of staple fish in the various States.

It was voted that the Secretary be instructed to notify all
the various State Commissioners of Fisheries of the foregoing
resolution.

‘It was voted that all papers connected with the. transac-
tions of this Society be obtained from Mr. Collins, the former
Secretary, and published in the future transactions of the —
Society.

A resolution was offered by Mr. Mather for the formation
of a committee to consider the propriety of giving testimonials
to inventors of fish hatching apparatus, and report at a future
meeting of the Society, which was passed, and the President
appointed as such committee Fred. Mather, J. W. Milner and
B. Phillips.

_ Mr. Page offered the following resolution :

Resolved, That Prof. Baird be requested to obtain a place
in the Exhibition Buildings at Philadelphia, for the meetings
of this Society, and that the Secretary be authorized to call
such meeting in connection with the meeting of the State Fish
‘Commissioners, and that the Executive Committee be requested
to invite the preparation of papers by, and the attention of
prominent fish culturists from our own and foreign countries.

Which upon vote of the Society was adopted.

Mr. Edmunds offered the following resolution :

Lesolved, That all breeders of fish in the United States
be requested to report at the next annual meeting of this Soci-
ety, their different modes of propagating fish, and the i improve-
ments they have made since beginning in the work.

Which upon a vote of the Society was adopted.

The President, Mr. Roosevelt, offered the following reso-
lution :

fesolved, That Mr. Blackford be requested to make an
examination of all fishes coming into his hands for sale in the
market, thereby to more definitely find out the different peri-
ods of spawning in the various kinds of fish coming under :his
notice, and report at our next meeting.

On motion of Mr. Page, the Society. voted to adjourn, to
meet again in annual session on the second Wednesday in

& Report of the American

PROPAGATION OF FISH.

BY SETH GREEN.

Myr. President and Gentlemen of the American Fish Cul-
turists’ Association :—

I regret that I cannot be present at the meeting of the
American Fish Culturists, but will try and make amends for
my absence as well as possible. Since the last meeting, the
New York State Fishery Commission have been making some
addition to their hatchery at Caledonia, by leasing the Caledo-
nia Trout Ponds of Mr. A. S. Collins. This addition is one
that has been greatly needed for some time, as we have been
crowded for want of room to put the young fish. Consequently
we will this season distribute Brook Trout, in addition to Sal-
mon, Salmon Tront, White Fish, Black Bass, &.

We shall have about one million Brook Trout Fry to dis-
tribute, and the people throughout the State are taking advan-
tage of this opportunity to restock their depleted trout streams.
I am receiving orders every day, and shall commence to ship
them soon after the 15th of this month. When they are
deposited in the streams they should be placed in the head»
waters in the little rivulets a foot or two wide, that flow into
the streams, and not deposited all in one place, but distributed
all along the stream so that they will all get food enough, and
should there chance to be enemies near, they would have a bet-
ter show to get out of the way, and if it were possible to
deposit them in the night, a much larger percentage would
arrive at maturity, as by morning they would ail be settled
down and find their hiding places in the shallow water along
the edges of the stream. Ihave no doubt but that our depleted

/

Brook Trout streams can be restocked again. As an incident
I will cite an interesting experiment. Four years ago last
summer, Mr. Charles Upton, President.of the City Bank of
Rochester, bought a barren trout stream which he wished to
restock with Brook Trout. In the Spring of 1872, I put in
4,000 Brook Trout Fry. During the Summer it could be seen
that the stream was alive with the little fellows. The next
Summer Mr. Upton began fishing for them. He would drive
out occasionally after banking hours, and his take would be
from fifty to one hundred during the afternoon. The next
season, when they were three years ‘old, his smallest take was
twenty and his largest sixty ; and last season, when they were
four years old, his lowest take in an afternoon was five, and his
highest nineteen, many of them weighing a pound each. This
I consider a perfect success.

Of Salmon Trout we shall have about 3,000,000, to dis-
tribute, and we will have enough to fill all our orders liber-
ally. They are all hatched at present, and are doing finely.
They are an excellent fish, and there are more of our little
lakes suitable for this kind than any other one kind we have
for distribution.

The White Fish Interests are being looked into this season
fo a greater extent than ever before. The Michigan Fish Com-
missioners made an arrangement with me last Fall to put the
Holton Hatching Box in their hatching house at Detroit. As
a consequence, [ sent one of my assistants, Mr. Oren Chase, to
Detroit, who put the boxes in, and he now has over 8,000,000
White Fish spawn nearly to the hatching point, taken by my
brother, Mr M. A. Green. When I say 8,000,000, I mean
8,000,000, and not one spawn less. The art of taking and
hatching White Fish spawn is a special branch of fish culture,
and a business by itself. A man may be well educated in the
art of taking and hatching the spawn: of other fishes, and if he

10 Report of the American

does not understand it he will make a perfect failure in hatch-
ing White Fish.

I consider this one of the greatest successes that has ever
been attained in fish calture, and will say right here that in my
opinion, the Holton Hatching Box, with the proper attention
and care, will hateh more White Fish with less labor and _ bet-
ter success, and with greater beuefits, than any other hatching
box in the world. :

I believe the calculation now is to place the 8,000,000
White Fish in Lake Erie, and if this is done, in four years
Lake Erie will be in a measure restocked ; but the work should
not stop here. The Commissioners should keep putting them
in for. years, and the time will come when tongue will fail to.
give utterance of praise. “The Michigan hatching hovses are
not the only places where this box is being used. Mr. N. K.
Fairbanks of Chicago, Ill., had a small hatching house erécted
near his Summer residence at Geneva Lake, Wisconsin, for the
purpose of stocking Geneva Lake, and he made a contract with
me to have the Holton Hatching Box placed in his hatching
house. Mr. H. H.:Welsher was accordingly engaged by Mr.
Fairbanks to take charge of it, and he is now hatching White
Fish, Salmon, Salmon Trout and Brook Trout with this same
hatching box, with perfect success ; in fact the full benefits to
be derived from this box is still in the future.

As regards Black Bass, on account of the mildness of the’
Winter, we have been nnable to obtain as large a supply as
formerly, but we have enough however to supply the demand.
They are an excellent fish, and their merits cannot be over
estimated. ia

There has been a good deal of discussion as to the feasi-
bility of stocking our Shad rivers with Black Bass. I have
been asked my opinion a great many times. I would’ say that
it all depends on the nature of the water and the bottom of

Fish Culturists’ Association. 11

the stream. The Black Bass is a good kind of fish to stock a
large, clear, rapid river, with stony bottom, where the crawfish
and helgamite are to be found. They scarcely ever eat other
fish if_they can get the crawfish, and I do not recommend put-
ting them in any waters where the erawfish is not. plenty, and
they are rarely found except among the stones. I would not
recommend them for small ponds. If Black Bass are put in
small ponds they eat the young ofall kinds of fish, bite the
old fish, and before starving, would eat themselves if possible.
They have the bull dog disposition as far as courage is con-
cerned, but I think they will not kill except for food. They
will not be a great drawback to Shad rivers, for the reason that
they live in swift running waters and there are not many Shad
in the heavy currents of the rivers. If hatched in swift run-
ning water they will be carried down to comparatively still
water before they are strong ehough to hold their own against
the current. The first four days after the young are hatched,
they g@ down stream nearly as fast as the current runs in the
river ; after that time they will resist a moderate current, and
are always near the middle of the river, and out of the way of
their enemies, which are small fish near the shore.

Last Summer we made a success hatching Sturgeon on the
Hndson River. They used to be very plenty, but like all other
kinds of fish, were diminishing in number every year, and if it
had not been for the discovery of hatching them artificially, they
wonld soon become extinct, and the Albanians would not have
any more Albany Beef, and that would be a great calamity !
If we can make Sturgeon plenty again, and I have no doubt
but that we can, it will be one of the best things we can do to
make cheap food for the poor. I remember when they were
sold for one cent per pound, while now they sell for ten cents»
and I have no doubt that within a few years we can make them
so plenty they will be as cheap as they were in old times.

12 Report of the American

Shad hatching artificially has proved a great success, as has
been shown by large Shad being sold cheap in most of the
cities of this state They were sold last season for from twenty
to twenty-five cents each, which is cheaper than they were ever
sold anywhere, away from the river, within the memory of the
oldest inhabitant. a

Nearly all the rivers between Florida and the Potomac,
have been.so completely fished out, that there are hardly Shad
enough left from which to take the spawn to stock the respect-
ive rivers, ind if something is not done soon, they could not be
restovked without transporting the young Shad from some other
rivers. The Potomac and Rapahannock rivers have Shad
enough left in them so that they could be restocked in a few
years, and all the Southern rivers could be restocked from them.

In experimenting at the New York State hatching house,
we have found that the Californfa Salmon can be crossed with
the Brook Trout. We have a few thousand Brook Trout spawn
impregnated with the milt of the California Salmon. They
have not hatched yet, but are far advanced and will hatch in a
few days. They may make a good fish to stock some kinds of
waters in this country. I shall make a great effort to raise
them, and while they are growing will study their nabits and
growth and can make up my mind what kind of water, if any,
they are suitable for. The experiment isa cheap one. I do
not believe in expensive experiments for finding new kinds of
fish, to stock the waters of this country, as we have plenty of
good kinds of fish with which to do this. We should study —
economy. What I mean by economy is to bring about the
greatest amount of work for the least money. The more
money there is spent in stocking our waters with food fishes
the better will it be for the country, providing it is spent by
men who know the kinds of fish with which to stock the differ-
ent waters in their country.

Fish Culturists’ ‘Association. 13

I am sorry to say that some of our sister states are so very
blind and penurious, and make their appropriations so small
that the Commissioners could not afford to look at their own
shadows if it cost anything, and consequently they can do noth-
ing but answer correspondents, and get turned out in a few
years for not filling the waters of their respective states with
fish. And a very great mistake it is to change Commissioners
after they have served one or two years. -By changing a Com-
missioner it sets the state back just as many years as the old
Commissioner has served. It takes a few years for him to
learn about the number of rivers, lakes and bays he has in his
state, and the kinds of fish that are suitable for the different
waters ; and one of the important things is to know where and
how to get the fish, and how to transport them. It is a trade
to transport fish long journeys successfully. Nearly every
man who has ever carried a few minnows in a pail to fish with,
has an idea that he could transport fish a long journey. He
will find himself mistaken if he undertakes it.

SETH GREEN.

PROPAGATION OF WHITE FISH.

BY DR. E. STERLING.

CiEvELanD, February 4th, 187 6..

Mr. Cottins, Dear Sir :—It would give me great pleas-
ure to be present at the next meeting of the American Fisn
Cutrurists’ AssooraTion, as requested in your letter, but cir-
cumstances will not permit. I will, however, comply with

14 Report of-the American

your desire for a short article connected with fish culture ; and
although I offer nothing new, perhaps it may “be used to help
sustain former observations.

The State of Ohio built this Fall, four icant
White Fish hatching honses, the attending expense to be paid
out of the appropriation of $10,000, made last Winter for this
purpose. The hatchery here is located on the Water Works
Grounds, and receives water direct from the inlet pipe which
runs out into Lake Erie one mile, and which at its terminus is
twenty-five feet.below the surface. The first box of eggs was
received from Kelley’s Island, Ohio, and placed in the trays
December ist. A few on the edges of the box were frozen,
and a good part of the remainder pressed badly out of shape,
the result of packing. The second box of eggs, all in good
condition, from Detroit River, Michigan, were placed in the
trays December 15th, making 300,000 altogether inthe hatch-
ery. From this number less than 1,000 dead eggs have been
removed; three-fourths from box number one, the remainder
from box number two. -All the frozen eggs died. The tem-
perature of water to date, in hatchery and Lake, has been 38%
and 40° (that is temperature fhe same at each end of aque-
duct), most of the time. 38°, Far. Last Winter, which was
uncommonly severe, the water at the hatchery location stood
34° and 36°. . No account of the water was taken at the Lake
crib at that time, though undoubtedly it was the same in tem-
perature, as it could undergo little if any change in a passage
of a mile and a half through a brick aqueduct five feet in
diameter. : ;

The eggs at present are in fine condition, clean and equally
well developed, notwithstanding the unusual muddy state of
the water, a similar condition not having occurred in several
years ; and from present appearances over ninety-five per cent
will hatch. Between the 20th of January and the 1st of this

Fish Culturists Association. 15

- month, about 100 young fry made their appearance, but none
since the last date. Those eges which hatched all came from
the Detroit River deposit, and none from the Kelley Island
box, number one. Why this departure in progressive devel-
opment should be in favor of box number two, I cannot say,
but will leave it for others to explain. Certainly they were all
taken from the parent fish at the same date, and have since
- that time been under like temperature and other local condi-
tions.

The 1st inst., thirty hours before the cold storm of to-day,
the temperature of the water fell 2° in the hatchery, that is
from 40° to 38°, although ont of doors the weather was mild,
as it had been tor several days previous, the thermometer mark-
ing 50° and 55° in the shade, with high barometer increasing
to the Ist. Here we have a sudden decrease of 2° in the tem-
perature of this water immediately preceding a storm, without
any corresponding fall in: the air outside. This is the third
time this phenomenon has been noticed since December 1st.

Our experience so far has taught us that we cannot hatch

frozen White Fish eggs ; second, that fish eggs, like the h nan
head can be pounded out-of shape, return to their natural form
and continue their vitality ; and third, that very muddy ‘ater
does not at all interfere with the perfect development of the
White Fish egg, from its first stage of pregnancy to the actual
birth of the young stranger when he comes forth with sac well
victualed ; and finally, that we believe the eggs on the spawn-
jng beds of the Lake will hatch out several weeks before the
first of April this season, in case the water remains as at pres-
ent, 38° Far., and that nature will have the natural food for
the White Fish fry ready for the emergency.
Yours Respectfully,
E. STERLING.

TROUT CULTURE.

Muncey Trour Ponps, February 4th, 1876.

Gentlemen of the American Fish Culturists’ Association :

I received your postal to-day. I would like to be with
you at your meeting, but pressing business will keep me away.
I will however say, I am having first rate success in Trout
culture. My ponds number six in all, and are one half mile
in length. Most of the water is shaded by forest trees ; ponds
long and narrow, and from three inches to five feet in depth.
I have a large amount of Trout, and think I am not far behind
any one in raising Trout for the market.

My best respects to you all. Yours Truly,
A. B. SPROUT.
