OF THE

UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES

FOR THE

FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1900.

I have the honor to submit a report covering the work of the United
States Commission of Fish and Fisheries for the year ending June 30,
1900, together with the reports of its different divisions. This, with
the papers published in the Bulletins of the Commission and as appen-
dices to this report, describes in full its operations for the fiscal year.

PROPAGATION OF FOOD-FISHES.

The fish-cultural work has been very satisfactory as compared with
previous records, notwithstanding the results in some directions have
not been as good as usual. The total number of fish distributed was
1,164,336,754, an increase (which consisted principally of shad, cod,
flat-fish, white-fish, and lake trout) of about 100,000,000 over the last
fiscal year.

At the stations on the Pacific coast, for reasons beyond the control
of the Commission, the collections of quinnat-salmon eggs were not as
large as in the past few years, and there was consequently a consid-
erable falling off in the output of this species. The excessive drought
prevailing in California during the summer of 1899 caused such low
water in Battle Creek and in the McCloud River that but few salmon
ascended these streams as far as the hatcheries, the larger number
depositing their eggs on spawning-grounds below. At Battle Creek,
where previous collections of eggs have heen almost phenomenal, only
1,600,000 were taken this year. Onthe McCloud eggs are taken during
both the summer and fall runs of fish, and this year from the first
run only 6,228,260 were collected, and from the fall run 186,800,
making in all 6,414,060, against over 16,000,000 the year before. The
eggs taken at the California hatcheries were all hatched in that State,
and the fry were liberated in the Sacramento River and its tributaries
and in the Eel River.

The results at the stations operated on the Columbia River were

_ better, although the run of salmon was poor; the number of eggs

permitted the liberation of 11,000,000 fry in the Columbia and its

tributaries.

6 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

On the Rogue River the Commission operated a hatchery constructed
by Mr. R. D. Hume and collected over 4,000,000 quinnat-salmon eggs,
1,800,000 of which were transferred to Mr. Hume’s hatchery at Wed-
derburn, Oreg., where they were hatched. The fry were there kept
in ponds and troughs until they had reached a length of 3 to 5 inches,
and were fed during this time on canned salmon prepared from the
seraps and waste portions of the fish. The success with this material —
was so encouraging that, so far as practicable, an attempt will be
made to rear all salmon fry to the yearling stage before liberating
them. Heretofore the question of a suitable food, which is not too
expensive, has been one of the most important factors for considera-
tion in rearing large numbers of fish at stations remote from railroad
facilities, and the use of the canned salmon referred to will materially
simplify the problem.

Steelhead-trout eggs were collected on Crystal Creek, a tributary .
of the Rogue River, as the number taken the previous vear on the
Willamette River did not warrant a continuation of the work at that
point. The eggs were all sent to eastern stations to be hatched, in
order to maintain the successful plants already made in the Great
Lakes and elsewhere. The steelhead appears to thrive in the streams
of Montana, and it may be noted that over 50,000 eggs of this species
were taken by the superintendent of the Bozeman station from fish
liberated two years ago in Bridger Creek, in that State.

At the new station on Baker Lake, Washington, the propagation
of the sockeye or blueback salmon, regarded as perhaps the most
important of the salmons in the Puget Sound region, from a commer-
cial standpoint, was begun and over 10,600,000 fry were hatched and
planted in the waters of Baker Lake and Skagit River. Located as
this station is, in the center of a forest reserve, and with the lake
and surrounding territory set aside for fish-cultural purposes, it is
believed that it will be an important factor in preserving an extensive
spawning-ground of this valuable fish.

The passage by the legislature of Michigan of an act allowing the
U. 8. Fish Commission to catch white-fish and lake trout for fish-
cultural purposes during the close season, November 1 to December
15, permitted the propagation of these species on a much larger seale
than usual, and as the State failed to provide funds for carrying on
its work with the commercial fishes of the Great Lakes, this Com-
mission was enabled to lease the Michigan white-fish hatcheries at
Detroit and Sault Ste. Marie.

The collection of lake-trout eggs was undertaken on the most im por-
tant spawning-grounds in Lake Michigan and continued until Novem-
ber 10, during which time over 15,000,000 were collected, at an almost
nominal expense. As only about 10 per cent were taken prior to
November 1, it will be seen that this work would have been almost
a failure had the old law been in force. On Lake Superior, where

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. i

operations were conducted from the Duluth station, over 12,000,000
eggs were taken. The fry hatched from these eggs were planted on
the spawning-grounds of the Great Lakes.

The white-fish work was carried on in Lake Erie from the station
at Put-in Bay, at Monroe Piers, Michigan, and at the three fisheries
on the Detroit River, which were operated as a result of arrange-
ments with the Michigan Fish Commission. At the latter point more
than 34,000 white-fish were penned, which yielded 244,000,000 eggs;
479,000,000 eggs were taken altogether, filling all of the available
hatcheries, besides permitting 10,000,000 to be sent to the New York
Fish Commission and nearly 6,000,000 to that of Pennsylvania. Over
337,838,000 white-fish eggs were hatched and the fry liberated, a gain
of nearly 200,000,000 over the year before. As the majority of the
eggs were obtained from fish which had been impounded or penned,
the excellent results of the season’s work verify the prediction in the
report of last year as to the advantages of this manner of insuring a
supply of spawn.

The taking of spawning pike-perch in Lake Erie was seriously inter-
fered with by the backwardness of the spring, the ice remaining in
the lake till an unusually late date, so that when nets could be set
and fishing begun but few fish were found on the spawning-grounds.
The inference is that numbers had already spawned. The season
lasted but a few days, and only 138,000,000 eggs were taken at Put-in
Bay, and these were of poor quality, producing but 57,000,000 fry.

The pike-perch season was also shortened in Vermont, where, from
the experience of the previous year, good results were hoped for, but
freshets in the Missisquoi River prevented the fish from ascending
to spawn until April 14, and eggs were only taken between the 22d
and 31st. Although 115,000,000 eggs were secured at this point, the
_ percentage hatched was not satisfactory, for a cause which is not
yet determined. Steps are now being taken to prevent, if possible,
similar losses in future.

At the stations in New England devoted to the propagation of
marine commercial fishes very satisfactory results have been attained.
Brood cod-fish were captured and held in the pools at Woods Hole
‘ for spawning purposes, and collecting stations were established at
Plymouth, Mass., and Kittery Point, Me., where spawn-takers could
obtain eggs from fish taken by the fishing vessels. From the 2,200 fish
impounded at Woods Hole 103,440,000 eggs were secured, and from
other sources 251,505,000. These were hatched at the Woods Hole
and Gloucester stations and yielded 265,324,000 fry, which were lib-
- erated at suitable points along the coast. This record exceeds any
previous one by over 50,000,000. The fish remaining of the brood
stock at Woods Hole were numbered, tagged, and recorded before
liberation, in accordance with the plan of systematic observations
concerning the migration, rate of growth, ete., of the cod, which has
been already described.

8 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The efforts to increase the production of flat-fish have been con-
tinued, and in the propagation of this species better results have been
attained by abandoning the method pursued in the past of artificially
fertilizing the eggs. This year the brood-fish were taken to Woods
Hole and allowed to spawn naturally in tanks at the station, and the
percentage of fry obtained greatly exceeded former results. From
102,000,000 eggs 87,115,000 fry were hatched and planted.

The hope was expressed in a previous report that some appreciable
effect had been made on the lobster fishery by the efforts which have
been made to increase the supply, but the scarcity of lobsters and
consequent difficulty in obtaining egg lobsters from the fishermen,
notwithstanding the cordial cooperation of the State fish commissions
throughout New England, has made impossible a larger output of fry.
All available means were employed to obtain the egg-bearing lobsters.
eaptured by fishermen along the entire New England coast. The
schooner Grampus and a steam smack visited the fishing centers of
Maine from April to July, and agents stationed at the more important
ports from New Hampshire to Connecticut were authorized to purchase
egg lobsters from both fishermen and dealers.

From points north of Cape Cod less than 5,000 lobsters were secured.
These produced 63,300,000 eggs, which were hatched at Gloucester and
yielded 58,600,000 fry. From points south of the cape only 28,000,000
eggs were secured, from which 22,600,000 lobsters were hatched at
Woods Hole.

The continued decrease of the fishery is shown by the smaller num-
ber of men nowengaging init. In 1900 only 10 men fished for lobsters
from Noank, Conn., and 1 man from Block Island, while in 1899 40
men were thus employed from the former point and 15 from the latter.
In Buzzards Bay and vicinity a similar decrease was noted. At New
Bedford, in 1899, the Commission obtained 347 egg lobsters, while
during the present season only 26 were to be had.

The propagation of shad during the season just closed was attended
with very good results, some 6,000,000 more fry being hatched and
planted than the year before. The new station at Edenton, N. C., was
in operation for the first time, and the work in Albemarle Sound was
conducted from this point. The regular stations on the Potomac and
Susquehanna rivers met with good success, though the season was
backward and unfavorable conditions caused the cessation of work
on the Potomac by the middle of May. On the Delaware, however,
the run of shad was unusually large, the fish being caught in such
numbers that there was almost no sale for them. The steamer Fish
Hawk, which was stationed on this river at Gloucester, N. J., collected.
over 80,000,000 eggs between April 27 and May 31. In all, 316,000,000
eggs were obtained, from which 241,056,000 fry were hatched and
planted.

The constantly increasing applications for the basses and the excel-

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 2

lent results attained by the introduction of these fishes east of the
Rocky Mountains have made it difficult to meet the demands made
during the past few years. While the stations established for this
purpose have shown fairly good results, an auxiliary collecting station
recently located on the Mississippi River at Bellevue, Iowa, enabled
the Commission during the past year, at comparatively small expense,
to materially increase its supply of the large-mouth black bass, the
crappie, and some of the other sun-fishes. In the Mississippi Valley
thousands of the commoner fishes which had been left by the receding
waters in the ponds and lakes which are formed by overflows, and
which dry up annually, have been transferred to the main river or
some of its tributaries, and thus preserved.

The stocking of suitable streams with the various species of trout
has been continued, special attention being paid to the distribution
of brook trout, rainbow trout, and black-spotted trout. In New
England the extent of the work with landlocked salmon and trout
was impaired by the severe drought which prevailed throughout that
section during the fall of 1899. In Vermont and New Hampshire
large numbers of fish were lost by the drying up of streams which
had heretofore never been affected in this manner, and in Maine the
water in many of the large lakes became so low that the trout and the
landlocked salmon were not able to ascend the streams to spawn,
which, of course, resulted in a material reduction of the number of
- eggs collected.

An investigation during the fall of 1899 shows that a large number

of Atlantic salmon passed over the falls at Bangor and reached the
spawning-grounds at the headwaters of the Penobscot, and from what
was learned it is believed that an auxiliary station for the collection
of eggs of this species on the natural spawning-grounds of this fish
may be profitably established and the supply obtained to better
advantage than by the methods now followed.
The propagation of the grayling at the Bozeman station has been
continued, and during the spring of 1900 over 3,500,000 eggs were
collected, the majority of which will be hatched at Bozeman for
stocking the streams of Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington,
‘although consignments have been sent to Colorado, Minnesota, and
Michigan and some of the eastern stations with a view to introducing
these fish in other waters.

The following tables show the output of the various stations, the
total number of fishes distributed by species, and the number of fish
and eggs furnished to the States and Territories during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1900.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 7
BIOLOGICAL INQUIRIES.

During the year the Commission has carried on a number of inves-
tigations and experiments with the object of giving practical assistance
to the oyster industry. The results of the experiments in fattening
oysters by increasing, in inclosed waters, the production of their natu-

_ ral food have given considerable encouragement. Oysters planted in

the experimental claires at Lynnhaven, Va., reached a degree of fat-
ness unrivaled save in a single limited area of the open waters of that
famous oyster field, but they arrived at this condition too late in the
season to make the result of immediate practical value. During the
coming season certain changes will be made in the plant whereby a
better circulation and aeration of the water will be attained. It is
expected that this will result not only in an improvement in the gen-
eral vitality of the oysters and an increase in the reproductive activity |
of the minute plants upon which they feed, but that the currents

_ ereated will also place the food more abundantly within the reach of

the oysters. The changes in the claire will be completed in time to
allow a practical test during the ensuing season.

An investigation was carried on during the winter, with the assist-
ance of the steamer /ish Hawk, to determine the reason for the failure
of oyster-culture in North Carolina, and is referred to on pp. 119-120.

In August, 1899, Mr. H. F. Moore visited Willapa Bay, Washington,
for the purpose of inquiring into the condition of the oysters planted
there in 1894. It was found that they had been almost exterminated.
At the end of the first year, according to the testimony of the oyster-
men, a large proportion of those planted had survived and were on
the beds. This would indicate that they had not been injured by
transportation across the continent. Subsequently, however, they
gradually decreased in number, until at the time of Mr. Moore’s visit

- but five oysters were found after a careful search under the guidance

of persons familiar with the beds. So far as could be determined this

- diminution did not result from natural causes, and there is reason to

suspect that some of the oystermen in the region have been so indif-
ferent to their own interests and their obligations to the Fish Com-

* mission as to view the raiding of the planted beds with a lenient eye.

Several private beds in the vicinity are reported to be doing well, but
in these cases it is to somebody’s immediate interest to protect the
planted oysters from poachers.

Owing to the very few oysters taken it was cheatinhe she to make
experiments in artificial fertilization of the eggs, although two of the
females appeared to be ripe. No evidence of natural spawning of
the eastern oyster was obtained, and it appeared that the water was
too cold to be favorable for their reproductive activity. Culture in
shallow inclosed or semi-inclosed ponds appears to be indicated as the

~~ most hopeful line of experiment with eastern oysters in this region.

F. C., 1900—2

18 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

During the year the equipment and facilities at Woods Hole labor-
atory, which has continued under the direction of Dr. H. C. Bumpus,
have greatly improved. The number of able volunteer workers has
increased, and much scientific work of practical and theoretical value
has been accomplished.

During the summer the steamer Fish Hawk has been at the station

and rendered important service in the investigation of the marine

fauna. The schooner Grampus was engaged, under the supervision
of the director, in continuing the investigation of the tile-fish, and
obtained valuable data concerning its distribution.

Studies were conducted upon clam-culture, the migrations of fish,
the economic utilization of certain waste products of the fisheries, the
diseases of fishes, and other subjects of importance, which are men-
tioned in the report of the Division of Inquiry relating to Food-fishes.
There is also in preparation a series of papers, which, when com-
pleted, will afford to students a much-needed means of identification
of the marine animals of the southern coast of New England.

The laboratory at Beaufort was open until September 15, 1899, and
was reopened June 1, 1900, and a number of able workers utilized
its facilities. The spawning habits of various fishes, sponges, and
crustacean parasites were studied, and the basis has been laid for
profitable work in the future. At its last session Congress passed an
act for the establishment of a permanent biological station on the coast
of North Carolina, and as the vicinity of Beaufort offers exceptional
advantages it is proposed to locate it at that point.

The urgent deficiency bill approved February 9, 1900, provided for
a special investigation concerning the decline of the lobster and clam
fisheries, with the object of devising measures for their relief, and in
April the following commission was appointed for the purpose of
carrying the act into effect: Dr. H. C. Bumpus, chairman; Dr. H. M.
Smith, secretary; Mr. William de C. Ravenel, and Capt. E. E. Hahn.
Promising results have been already attained with the soft-shell clam
(Me ya arenaria), but the lobster presents greater difficulties and will
require comprehensive study.

During the fiscal year investigations of the inland waters to ascer-
tain their biological and physical characteristics, their fitness for the
introduction of new species, and the possibility of increasing their pro-

ductiveness by artificial means have been prosecuted in Maine, New |

York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and North Carolina.
While some of the information gathered is capable of local applica-

tion only, much is of broader significance and applicable to lacustrine

waters in general.

Dr. W. C. Kendall continued his work on Sebago Lake, Maine, until
about the middle of August, when, at the request of the State board
of fish commissioners, he was ordered to Cobbosseecontee Lake, to
inquire into the reasons for the nonsuccess of the plants of landlocked
salmon which have been made therein. In this connection, a study

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 19

was made of the fauna, and the conclusion was reached that the
abundance of predaceous fishes and the restricted spawning-grounds
were responsible for the failure of the salmon to maintain itself.

The biological survey of Lake Erie was continued during July and
August under the direction of Prof. Jacob Reighard. The hatchery
at Put-in Bay was used as laboratory and headquarters, but various
other parts of the lake were visited by members of the party. An
account of the work is elsewhere given in the report.

A comprehensive study of the waters of the hydrographic basin of
the Wabash River, Indiana, was undertaken by the Commission dur-
ing the summer of 1899. A number of the lakes and rivers were
studied with some care, but principal attention was paid to Lake Max-
inkuckee, in Marshall County. Maxinkuckee is typical of the small
glacial lakes of the Upper Mississippi Valley, and it was considered
that a thorough investigation of the biological and physical features of
its waters would develop facts common to all of the lakes of its class.
The work began July 1 and was continued until the latter part of
October by a party under the direction of Prof. B. W. Evermann. A
topographic and hydrographic survey was begun, meteorological
observations were carried on, collections were made illustrative of the
flora and fauna of the lake and its immediate environment, and data

.were obtained concerning the habits and distribution of the various
animals, especially the fishes.

Seneca Lake, in New York, and Lake Mattamuskeet, in North Caro-
lina, have been visited and collections of their fishes have been made
or arranged for.

Investigations upon the fishes of the principal river basins in West

Virginia, begun in 1899, were conducted by a party under Mr. W. P.
Hay. The Potomac, Greenbrier, Elk, and especially the Monongahela
river systems were well examined. Until recent years these rivers
were productive of fine food-fishes, but of late they have become sadly
depleted, principally through the denudation of the forest lands, the
pollution of the waters, dynamiting, damming of streams, and other
changes in the conditions, principally due to industrial operations.
_ On the Pacific coast the studies of the salmon and other fishes have
been continued in the eastern tributaries of the Sacramento. The
explorations of the coastal streams begun in previous years have been
extended between the northern boundary of California and the
Columbia River, and a study of the fishes of the San Pedro River has
almost been completed.

Considerable progress upon the study of the collections made by
the fish Hawk in Porto Rico during the winter of 1898-99 is reported.
The specimens were distributed among a number of specialists, and
many of the reports have been received and several are now in prog-
ress. These papers will make an important and attractive publication,
which it is hoped to issue during the ensuing year.

20 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

STATISTICAL INQUIRIES.

During the last calendar year a statistical canvass of the fisheries
of the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, and New York has been in progress. The present
amount of capital invested in these fisheries in the New England
States is $19,637,036, which, as compared with the figures of the last
canvass, made in 1889, shows a decrease of $437,758. But this decrease
is only apparent, being caused chiefly by the transfer of the menhaden
industry to New York, and, while the relative values of the different
eatches have changed, the food fisheries of these States have, in the
aggregate, increased in quantity and decreased but slightly in value.
35,445 persons are employed and 1,427 vessels, valued with their equip-
ment at $4,224,339. The total product is 393,355,570 pounds, worth
$9,672,702—the fishery for cod, cusk, haddock, hake, and pollock
ranking first with a value of $2,798,109, followed by the oyster fishery
of Rhode Island and Connecticut, worth $1,910,684. The lobster
fishery is next in commercial importance, being worth $1,276,900.
While the catch has fallen from 30,500,000 pounds in 1889 to 14,660,000
in 1898, a decrease of more than 50 per cent, the price of lobsters has so
advanced that the value of the industry has increased a corresponding
degree.

The inquiry conducted on Lake Erie in the calendar year 1899 shows
a decided increase in the fisheries of this lake since the last canvass, in
quantity and value of the product, capital invested, and number of
persons employed. This is chiefly shown in the catch of white-fish
and lake herring. The yield of pike perch, though large, is not con-
siderably greater than in former years. 3,728 persons and 104 vessels
are engaged in the industry, representing an investment of $2,719,600.
In 1899, 58,393,000 pounds of products were obtained, worth $1,150,890.
A feature of the fisheries is the number of carp which were taken,
the catch amounting to over 3,600,000 pounds, valued at $51,400.

On Lake Ontario, where for several years there has been a decided
falling off in the commercial fisheries, there was in 1899 found to be
a material improvement, the yield being nearly three times as great
as in 1897, and it would appear that this region is beginning to feel the
effect of the fish-cultural operations which have been conducted here.
The number of persons engaged and capital invested are also propor-
tionately greater. The yield in 1899 amounted to nearly 2,500,000
pounds, valued at over $100,000.

The quantity of fishing products landed at Boston and Gloucester
shows an increase of more than 33,000,000 pounds, with an increased
value of over $1,200,000. The bulk of the increase is to be credited to
Gloucester, though the fares landed at Boston are in excess of the year
before. The products landed from American vessels at the two ports
amounted to 176,774,301 pounds and were valued at nearly $4,200,000.

Inquiries now in progress along the Great Lakes and in the Missis-
Sippi Valley show that an increasing number of carp are being caught ©

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 21

and shipped, chiefly to the markets of the larger eastern cities. From
Lake Erie and the Ohio River and certain of its tributaries the quan
tity of this species taken is nine times as great as it was six years
ago. From the Illinois River more carp are taken than all other species
combined, the catch for 1899 amounting to 6,332,900 pounds, valued at
$189,900. It would appear that this fish will become more and more
an important factor in the food-fish supply of the country.

As it was not practicable for an agent of the Commission to visit
Alaska during the summer of 1899, the customary records of the fur-
seal herds were made up from data furnished by the courtesy of the
resident Treasury agents. The American herd continues to decrease
in numbers through the continuance of pelagic sealing, and the recent
counts show that fewer pups are born each year.

STEAMER ALBATROSS.

During the spring of 1899 it was determined to undertake an inves-
tigation among the islands of the southern Pacific Ocean, as it was
believed important additions to knowledge could be made in regions
where comparatively little work had been done. The scientific work
was placed in charge of Mr. Alexander Agassiz, who was accompanied
by a staff of assistants.

At the beginning of the fiscal year the Albatross was prepared for
the expedition, and on August 23 she sailed from San Francisco

under the command of Commander Jefferson F. Moser, U. S. N.,

and until early in the spring, when she reached Yokohama, she was
engaged in the work of exploration and biological investigation. The
Marquesas, Paumotu, Society, Cook, Tonga, Fiji, Ellice, Gilbert,

_ Marshall, Caroline, and Ladrone archipelagoes were visited, and at

the various ports every facility and courtesy were extended by the

local authorities, and thanks are due to the governments of Great

Britain, France, and Germany, which at the request of the Depart-
ment of State had directed their representatives in their respective
possessions to afford any assistance in their power.

These islands were studied in relation to their geological and
biological features, and collections were made in the fields of zoology,

botany, ethnology, and geology. The director devoted his attention

to the study of coral formations and the biological and dynamic
factors which have resulted in the production of coral islands; the
civilian staff were engaged in biological research, and the naval
officers, besides their duties in navigating the ship, in making surveys,
soundings, and observations of value to mariners. Collections of the
fauna of the deeper waters of the Pacific were made by means of the
beam trawl and dredge, and the pelagic life at the surface and inter-
mediate depths was studied. During the cruise about 250 soundings
were made, with numerous temperature and density observations.
The Albatross arrived at Yokohama March 4, and after she was
refitted, some collections were made on the coast of Japan, within the

22 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES,

100-fathom line and along the edge of the Black Current, until June
12, when the vessel left for Alaska to continue the commercial inves-
tigation of the salmon fisheries, on which she was engaged in 1897.
The full reports of this expedition are not yet ready for publica-
tion, but a narrative of the voyage will be found on pp. 137-161 of
this volume.
STEAMER FISH HAWK.

During July and August this vessel, under the command of Mate
James A. Smith, U. 8S. N., was employed in making collections of
marine fauna off the southern coast of New England in connection
with the biological work of the station at Woods Hole, Mass., and in
September she was sent to Beaufort, N. C., to assist in the topo-
graphic and hydrographic surveys incident to an inquiry into the
eause of the failure of the various attempts at oyster-culture which
had been made in that State.

As the time during which the vessel could be available was limited,
and as it was desired to make the investigation with some degree of
thoroughness, it was considered advisable to limit the field of oper-
ations, and the regions examined were selected upon the suggestion
of Prof. J. A. Holmes, director of the North Carolina geological and
natural history survey, who took keen interest in the subject. At
first the work was carried on in the vicinity of Beaufort and More-
head, but in December the ish Hawk proceeded to Pamlico Sound,
where Swan Quarter Bay and other productive oyster-grounds were
examined. Reports upon the work are in course of preparation and
will be published.

On March 25 the vessel was detached from this duty in order to
prepare for taking up the customary shad work in the Delaware
River. Some time was spent in making necessary repairs at Balti-
more, and on April 25 she reached her usual anchorage off Gloucester
City, N. J., where shad hatching was successfully carried on until the
middle of June, when she was ordered to proceed to Woods Hole.
The work above referred to is described in detail in the accompanying
reports of the divisions of Scientific Inquiry and of Fish-Culture.

NEW STATIONS.

The development of Cold Spring station, near Bullochville, Ga., and
of the stations at Edenton, N. C., and Nashua, N. H., has been carried
on during the year, and has been sufficient to permit the beginning
of fish-cultural operations.

The water supply at Cold Spring is derived from three springs with
an aggregate flow estimated at 2,800 gallons per minute and having a
temperature of 62° to 64°. . The principal spring has been surrounded
with a substantial retaining-wall, a distributing-tank and conduits
built, and five ponds finished with their supply and outlet pipes.
Four of the ponds contain from 6,000 to 12,000 square feet each, and

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 23

all aggregate a little over an acre. A large portion of the property
has been fenced in, roads built, and the grounds, which were rough
and uneven, have been cleared and graded, marshy places filled, and
a system of drainage laid out and completed. In the spring plans
for a superintendent’s dwelling were prepared, which will be a frame
building of two stories, 48 by 52 feet, with wide halls and porches and
containing seven rooms. Its construction is now in progress.

At Edenton, N. C., five artesian wells with 2-inch pipes were driven,
ranging from 50 to 200 feet in depth, which furnished an average flow
of about 3 gallons each per minute, the temperature of the water being
64° F. A two-story frame dwelling, 46 by 63 feet, containing eight
rooms, has been completed for the superintendent, certain improve-
ments have been made in the hatchery supply system, a supply ditch
leading from Pembroke Creek to the boiler house has been completed,
and the construction of six bass ponds has been begun.

At Nashua, N. H., a two-story frame residence, 30 by 50 feet, con-
taining eight rooms, a cellar, and attic, has been erected for the super-

intendent, and additional drainage pipes laid.

r

MISCELLANEOUS.

For several years it has been very desirable that the Commission
should have another steamer of sufficient size and seaworthiness for
cruising at considerable distances offshore, in connection with the
scientific and fish-culturail work of the New England stations. Accord-
ingly, under authority of an act of Congress approved March 3, 1899,
a steamer of 55 tons displacement, 82 feet long, and 16 feet beam was
purchased November 23, 1899, and named Phalarope. In May she was
put in commission, and has given satisfactory service.

There have been added to the library during the year 130 books and
318 pamphlets. The Bulletin for 1898 and the following pamphlet

extracts from the Bulletins for 1898 and 1899, and from the Report
for 1899, have been issued:

REPORT ON THE PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF
FOOD-FISHES.

By W. DE C. RAVENEL, Assistant in Charge.

4

PROPAGATION OF FOOD-FISHES.

Fish-cultural work was conducted on the same general lines as in

-- the past, but the results far exceeded those of any previous year.

The total number of fish distributed was 1,164,336,754, an increase of
about 100,000,000 over the output of the preceding year.

On the Pacific coast special attention was paid to the collection and
hatching of quinnat-salmon eggs on the Sacramento River, in the
Columbia River Basin in Washington and Oregon, and on the Rogue
River. Owing to the excessive drought prevailing in California
during the summer of 1899, the water was so lowin Battle Creek that
but few salmon ascended the stream, and the majority deposited their
eggs on sand bars in the Sacramento. As a result only 1,600,000 eggs
were taken at this point, where 20,000,000 were taken the previous
year and 48,000,000 two years before.

At Baird station, on the McCloud River, a tributary of the Sacra-
mento, where egg collections are made from both the summer and fall
runs, the work was affected by the same cause. From the first run
6,228,260 were collected, and from the fall run 186,800, making in all
6,415,060. This was very discouraging, as over 16,000,000 had been
taken the previous year with poorer facilities. The eggs were all
hatched in California and the fry liberated in the Sacramento River
and tributaries and in Eel River.

In the Columbia River Basin stations were operated on the Little
White Salmon River in Washington and on the Clackamas River in
Oregon; and though the run of salmon in the Columbia River was
poor, 10,385,000 eggs were obtained on the Little White Salmon and
2,014,900 on the Clackamas, which resulted in the liberation of
10,997,947 fry in this region. Several hundred thousand of these
were retained in Clackamas until they were from 4 to 6 inches long
before being liberated.

On the Rogue River 4,364,800 quinnat-salmon eggs, 200,000 silver-
salmon eggs, and 530,000 steelhead-trout eggs were collected. Of
the quinnat-salmon eggs 1,800,000 were transferred to Wedderburn,
Oreg.; the fry resulting were not planted until they were from 3 to 5
inches in length. They were fed on canned salmon, principally the

backs of heads and the tails, which are of no commercial value. The
25

remainder were hatched at the station, and the 2,156,000 fry resulting
were liberated in the Rogue River.

As the collection of steelhead-trout eggs on the Willamette the pre-
vious year had been very unsatisfactory, arrangements were made to
collect on Crystal Creek, a tributary of the Rogue River, about 10
miles above the salmon station. This work proved fairly satisfactory,
and it is believed, with the experience gained, that large numbers can
be secured next season. The eggs were all forwarded to eastern
stations, as plants previously made indicate that the steelhead is well
adapted not only for the Great Lakes, but for lakes and streams in
Montana and many of the Eastern States.

The propagation of the sockeye or blueback salmon, the most
important commercial species on Puget Sound, was undertaken for
the first time at Baker Lake, and as a result 10,683,000 fry were
planted in Skagit River and the lake.

On the Great Lakes the white-fish and lake-trout work was the most
satisfactory ever accomplished. Arrangements were made early in
the fall for the collection of lake-trout eggs at Charlevoix, Beaver
Island, and Manistique, Lake Michigan, near which are located the
most important spawning-grounds of this species. Over 15,000,000
eggs were collected by November 10, but as only about 10 per cent
were taken prior to November 1 the work would have been a complete
failure under’the old law, which provided for a rigid close season
commencing on that date. On Lake Superior the season was very
successful, over 12,000,000 being taken. The majority of the fry
resulting from the total number collected, 27,000,000, were planted on
the spawning-grounds of the Great Lakes. The white-fish work was
energetically directed on Lake Erie; large numbers of adult fish were
penned, as heretofore, at Put-in Bay, Ohio, and Monroe Piers, Michi-
gan, which yielded 235,000,000 eggs. From the three fisheries on the
Detroit River, operated as a result of arrangements made with the
State commission, over 34,000 white-fish were penned, which yielded
224,000,000, making 459,000,000 eggs collected at the two stations. As
aresult of the year’s work over 337,838,000 white-fish fry were liberated
in the Great Lakes, more than double as many as in 1899.

The spring proved most unfavorable for the collection of pike-
perch eggs on Lake Erie. Ice remained in the lake for weeks later
than usual, so that by the time the fishermen were enabled to set
their nets the season was actually over in the neighborhood of Port
Clinton, Sandusky, Toledo, and the other important grounds. About
138,000,000 eggs were collected by the force of spawn-takers employed
at Put-in Bay, but these were of poor quality and produced only about
57,000,000 fry, which were liberated in Lake Erie and some of the
inland lakes of Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The collecting station
on the Missisquoi River in Vermont, which had proved so promising
the preceding year, was opened in April, but the immense amount of ~
snow in the mountains at the headwaters of the Missisquoi melting

‘

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. oF

at that time caused freshets, which prevented the fish from ascend-
ing until April 14, and consequently shortened the season. The sea-
son here commenced April 22 and continued until the 31st, during
which period 115,000,000 eggs were collected from 1,859 females;
85,225,000 eggs were transferred to Cape Vincent and the balance
hatched and distributed under direction of the Vermont Commission.
From the Cape Vincent hatchery 25,000,000 fry were distributed,
making a total of 37,500,000 as a result of the season’s work on the
Missisquoi River.

It is difficult to account for the large loss that occurs in hatching
pike-perch eggs, unless it is that they aré unfertilized. Unfortunately
the collecting stations are so distant from the regular station that we

_have been unable, up to this time, to make careful microscopic exami-

nations to show whether this loss is due to the lack of fertilization or to
injury in transportation. It is believed by the superintendent of the
Cape Vincent station that very much better results would be secured if

-the eggs were eyed at the point where they are collected, and trans-

ferred afterwards. With a view to determining this matter definitely
arrangements were made to erect a small hatchery at Swanton, but it
was not only too small to handle the eggs collected, but the water
supply was of such poor quality that it was necessary to keep men at
work night and day clearing away the trash brought down by the
melting snows; consequently the results were very unsatisfactory and
no definite conclusions have yet been reached.

Early in October arrangements were made for the collection of
brood cod for the Woods Hole station; also for the establishment
of auxiliary collecting stations at Plymouth, Mass., and Kittery Point,
Me., to supply the Gloucester and Woods Hole stations with eggs.
The schooner Grampus during the months of October and November
captured and delivered at Woods Hole 2,200 brood cod varying from
6 to 20pounds. These commenced to spawn in November and yielded
103,440,000 eggs. In addition to these the station received from the

spawn-takers stationed at Plymouth 71,275,000 cod eggs collected

from fishing vessels which ply from that port. The work at Kittery
Was even more successful than in the past and the eggs collected
were of superior quality, due largely to the exceptionally good weather
which prevailed from November to February. From this point

180,230,000 cod eggs were shipped to Gloucester between November 28

and March 23, which, with the shipments from Plymouth, gave the
station an aggregate of 198,880,000. Asa result of the work at the
two stations, 265,324,000 cod fry were liberated along the coast of New
England from December to March. The results were very gratifying,
being over 50,000,000 greater than ever before. The adult cod which
survived the spawning operation were tagged and liberated from the
Woods Hole station, as heretofore, with a view to getting additional
data with reference to their migrations, rate of growth, ete; 1,311

were turned loose, and before the close of the year 11 were captured
between Chatham and the New Jersey coast.

It was decided to take up the flat-fish work early in January, as
past experience seemed to indicate that a large number of fish spawned
during that month or early in February. The work was somewhat
delayed by the presence of ice in the bays in which the nets were set,
but the season proved very satisfactory; over 102,000,000 eggs were
collected, which yielded 87,115,000 fry. In view of the fact that very
unsatisfactory results had been secured during the past two or three
years where the eggs had been artificially fertilized, it was determined
this season to allow the fish to spawn naturally in the tanks at the
station, and the results were most satisfactory.

Owing to the continued decrease of the lobster fishery, strenuous
efforts have been made during the past two years to increase the
output of lobster fry, but the scarcity of lobsters and the difficulties
encountered in getting the egg lobsters from the fishermen, notwith-
standing the cordial cooperation of State fish commissions throughout
New England, has made this impossible. Arrangements were made
during the winter months to collect all of the egg-bearing lobsters
captured from Eastport to New York. The Grampus, assisted by a
steam smack, plied along the coast of Maine, and visited all of the
important fishing centers from early in April to July. Besides this,
local agents were stationed from Kittery to New London, Conn., who
purchased egg lobsters, not only from the fishermen, but also from
the dealers in large towns. These were then transferred to Woods
Hole and Gloucester by sail and steam boats provided for this pur-
pose. Notwithstanding the efforts made, only 4,643 egg lobsters were
secured northof Cape Cod. These yielded 63,335,000 eggs, from which
were hatched 58,560,000 fry, which were deposited on suitable grounds
along the coast. At Woods Hole only 28,140,000 eggs were secured
and 22,643,000 hatched.

The propagation of shad was conducted as usual on the Albemarle -
Sound, the Potomac River, the Susquehanna, and the Delaware. The
establishment of a new shad station at Edenton, N. C., obviated the
necessity of our utilizing the Wish Hawk at that point. The season
was very backward, and at one time it appeared as though the work
would be materially reduced. The run of shad on the Potomac was
seriously affected by the unfavorable conditions and work practically
ceased by the middle of May, but operations were vigorously pushed
until the end of the month on the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers.
The number of eggs collected at the four stations aggregated 316,000,000,
which produced 241,056,000 fry, an excess of about 6,000,000 over
the previous season. The results secured on the Delaware were par-
ticularly gratifying. The run of shad was immense, the fish being
caught in such large numbers that there was practically no sale. The
Fish Hawk between April 27 and May 31, when operations ceased on
account of lack of funds, had collected over 80,000,000 eggs.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 29

The propagation of the basses and other fishes suitable for stocking
inland lakes and streams was conducted as usual at the various sta-
tions provided for this purpose. The results were very gratifying.
Notwithstanding the fact that there has been a large increase in the
number of applications filed during the year, especially for the basses,
all demands were met.

The following stations and auxiliary stations were operated during
the year, and the work accomplished at each is reviewed in detail in

RESULTS OF FISH-CULTURE.

From correspondents in various sections of the country letters have
been received from time to time showing the results of plants of brook
trout, steelhead trout, rainbow trout, black bass, and crappie. The
superintendent of Leadville station received numerous letters from
individuals whose lakes had been stocked with brook trout and who,
as a result, were engaged in fish-culture from a commercial standpoint.
As illustrative of the scale upon which this work is being conducted
in Colorado, 4,800,000 brook-trout eggs were collected by the superin-
tendent during the past fall, all except about 250,000 being taken
there from private lakes. The correspondence also shows that the
brook trout is well established in public waters in various sections of
the State, and this is of especial interest in view of the fact that there
were no brook trout in the waters of Colorado a few years ago.

From Montana numerous letters have also been received from per-
sons to whom fish had been furnished, and they all show the brook
trout to be well adapted for the streams in that State. Mr. W. C.
Gilmer, under date of March 24, 1900, reports the capture of a brook
trout weighing 24 pounds, dressed, resulting from a plant made in
August, 1897,.in a stream tributary to the Madison River, near Ennis.

There is no doubt as to the success of the steelhead trout in some

30 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

of the streams and lakes of eastern Montana. During the spring of
1900 over 50,000 eggs were collected from fish taken in Bridger Creek,
and Mr. J. A. Davies, of Butte, Mont., reports that steelheads from 9
to 12 inches long were taken from a mountain lake in Madison County
which had been stocked the previous year.

A member of the Catlin Land and Live-stock Company, near White
Sulphur Springs, Meagher County, writes as follows:

The 5,000 steelhead trout sent us in October, 1898, were put in our spring creek,
grown up with watercress and containing a good supply of snails, water-bugs,
and worms. This creek empties into a reservoir of 5 or 6 acres, 6 to 8 feet deep,

from which we have caught several varying in length from 9 to 12 inches. The
flesh is pink or salmon-colored, and of good quality.

As these fish were only a year old when caught, it would seem that
they are admirably adapted to the waters of that section.

Henry Gilmer, of Lewisburg, W. Va., under date of June 19, reports
the capture of a rainbow trout weighing a pound in Howard Creek,
near Lewisburg, which stream was stocked by the Commission in 1898.
Mr. A. H. Gibboney, of Marion, Va., captured a rainbow trout 23
inches long, weighing 4 pounds 9 ounees, in Staley Creek, in August,
1900, and he reports that several hundred have been captured by Dr.
Z. V. Sherrell, of the same place, since April 15, some measuring 14
to 23 inches in length, and one weighing 33 pounds.

It has been the general impression that rainbow trout will not
thrive in New England waters, but Hon. H. O. Stanley, of the Maine
Fish Commission, under date of June 26, 1900, reports that a large
number of these fish entered the trap of the State hatchery at Lake
Auburn the previous spring and that eggs were collected from them.
They weighed from 6 to 9 pounds, and were supposed to have escaped
into Lake Auburn from the State hatchery several years ago, when it
had been supplied with eggs by the U. S. Fish Commission.

Mr. J. D. Patton, of Cleveland, Tenn., states that rainbow trout are
found in Jack River and Mitchell Creek as a result of plants made
in those waters. Mr. William G. De Witt, of the Adirondack League
Club of New York, forwarded two specimens of Swiss trout on July 29,
1900, taken in a lake controlled by the club, which had been stocked
with a consignment furnished by this Commission.

Reports have reached the Commission from time to time of the eap-
ture of quinnat salmon in Lake Ontario and its tributaries. During
the past year two specimens have been secured and identified by Mr.
Livingston Stone, superintendent of the Cape Vincent Station, one of
which was ripe and weighed 124 pounds, the capture being made near
Tibbetts Point light-house in a sturgeon net.

Several years ago the Commission liberated in the tributaries of the
_ Potomac River 200 crappie and 200 large-mouthed black bass, and as
a consequence, from January 1 to August, 1900 (excluding April and
May), 47,795 pounds of bass were sold in Washington from the Potomac

River. The crappie (an excellent food-fish), though not handled in
large numbers in the markets, is also very abundant.

Mr. C. N. Ironsides, of New York, under date of January 10, writes:

Some four or five years ago, at my request, your Commission sent me 100 crap-
pie to be planted in York Lake, Sullivan County. It gives me great pleasure to
report to you that the planting was entirely successful. Ninety-eight were placed
in the lake, and the catch last summer and fall was very large. The lake is now
well stocked with crappie.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS AND INSPECTIONS.

During December, at the request of the Fish and Game Association
of the District of Columbia, arrangements were made to seine the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal just after the drawing down of the water
for the winter, with the view to transferring the fishes remaining in
the pools to the Potomac River. This work was directed by Mr. L. G.
Harron, who between December 14 and 22 removed all the fish in the
eanal from Middlekauff’s Mill to Great Falls, a distance of 92 miles.
Over 4,000 small-mouthed black bass were saved, 410 rock bass, 610
erappie, 700 white perch, 3,800 sun-fish, and 3,400 cat-fish, besides
70,000 or 80,000 of the commoner varieties. Nearly 500 carp, weigh-
ing from 14 pounds to 15 pounds, were also captured, but no small
ones were seen, and it is supposed they had been eaten by bass and
other fishes. :

At the request of Mr. Moreton Frewen, of Innishannon, Ireland,
arrangements were made in May to forward a consignment of shad
eggs to Queenstown with the view to stocking some of the rivers of
Ireland with this valuable food-fish. On May 15, Mr. J. F. Ellis,
superintendent of the car and messenger service, delivered on board
the Oceanic, of the White Star Line, 700,000 eggs which had been
furnished from the steamer Fish Hawk. They were placed in the
refrigerator and arrangements were made with the steward to have
the temperature kept between 51° and 55°. Itis to be regretted that
on the arrival of the vessel at Queenstown the eggs were all dead. It
is believed that, if an experienced messenger were sent, shad fry, and
possibly eggs, could be successfully transported, as the vessels take
‘only about 43 days to make the trip and there would be no difficulty
in obtaining fresh supplies of water and ice en route.

In August the Fish Commission stations at Wytheville, Va., and |
_ Erwin, Tenn., were inspected by the assistant in charge of the Division
of Fish Culture. The construction work accomplished at Wythe-
ville during the past year was excellent, but in order to make the
station efficient it will be necessary to build additional bass ponds
and make a number of improvements, which, it was estimated, will
cost about $2,500. At the Erwin station the pond system for the
propagation of trout was practically completed, but the grounds were
in an unfinished condition owing to lack of funds, and it is estimated
that it will require about $500 to put them in good shape. The Crow

tract, lying due south of the present site and containing about 40
acres, on which the Commission had secured an option with the view
to purchase, was carefully examined, and it was recommended that it
be devoted entirely to the propagation of bass and crappie, the ponds
to be supplied with water from Indian Creek or the stream running
through the station grounds. It is recommended that an appropria-
tion of $5,000 be obtained for this purpose.

Between November 16 and 23 the stations at St. Johnsbury, Nashua,
East Orland, Green Lake, and Woods Hole were inspected and con- .
ferences held with the various superintendents with reference to the
conduct of fish-cultural work. The St. Johnsbury station had been
materially improved by the construction of additional rearing-ponds,
but the water supply was still inadequate. Plans for the construction
of a large reservoir were under consideration, and an estimate of the
cost will be submitted with the view to obtaining a special appropria-
tion. The collection of trout eggs, which had just been completed, was
very unsatisfactory, owing to the drought which was then prevailing
throughout New England and which had caused the destruction of
thousands of adult fish by the drying up of streams.

Owing to the incomplete condition of the Nashua Station and to the
fact that the superintendent had had no opportunity to establish
auxiliary stations, very little fish-cultural work had been done at that
point. A few thousand eggs had been collected at Dublin Pond,
and it was decided to purchase from commercial hatcheries a suffi-
cient number for supplying applicants in the State. A number of
rearing and brood ponds had been completed, but after a careful
examination of the station it was decided that it would require from
$9,000 to $6,000 to put the station in thorough working order.

The spawning season of the Atlantic salmon at Craig Brook closed -
on November 20, two days before the assistant’s visit. Although the
number of fish purchased for this work was larger than in past years,
on account of their smaller size the output was less. The land-
locked salmon work at Grand Lake Stream was unfavorably affected
by the drought. The grounds and buildings at this station were in
fair condition and the work was in general satisfactory.

At Green Lake egg collections were still in progress, but the indi-
cations here, as at other stations, pointed to a shortage on account of
the excessive drought. In many lakes the water was so low that —
salmon and trout could not enter the streams to deposit their eggs.

As the water supply has not been satisfactory for rearing trout, the
superintendent submitted a plan for increasing and improving the
supply by raising the dam at Rocky Pond. The suggestion seemed
practicable, and it was recommended that a ie der appropriation be
asked for this purpose.

At the time of the assistant’s visit to Woods Hole there were on
hand over 2,000 brood cod, weighing 6 to 20 pounds, which had been
captured by the Gvampus and placed in live-boxes at the station. The

question of opening the Plymouth and Kittery Point auxiliary stations
was thoroughly canvassed with Capt. E. E. Hahn and arrangements
made to commence work in November. The steam launch Blue Wing
was then being overhauled and put in readiness for the work. The
buildings and grounds had been much improved during the year, but
the wharf was incomplete owing to lack of funds. An additional

‘ appropriation of $2,000 was recommended for this purpose.

Late in November, at the request of the superintendent of the

. Northville station, the assistant in charge visited the Detroit hatchery

and the three white-fish fisheries which were then in operation on
Belle and Grassy islands. The hatchery at that time contained about
500 jars of eggs, and 15,000 adult white-fish were held in pens on the
islands. As it appeared that the hatchery would be overcrowded,
arrangements were made with the Michigan Fish Commission for
the utilization of the Sault Sainte Marie hatchery, and Alpena was
reopened. On the return trip from Detroit a stop was made at
Monroe Piers, where the superintendent of the Put-in Bay station
met the assistant with the steamer Shearwater and took him to the
station. The work at Monroe Piers was well organized under direction
of Mr. J.C. Fox,the foreman. ‘The crates contained about 10,000 fish.
At Put-in Bay there were over 100,000,000 eggs in the hatchery, besides
27,000,000 which had been shipped to Cape Vincent. There were also
four or five thousand fish in the crate, and it looked as though from
240,000,000 to 250,000,000 white-fish eggs would be obtained.

The Edenton station was visited in December for the purpose of
conferring with the superintendent with reference to the sinking of
artesian wells for supplying the bass ponds. The appearance of this
station as approached from Edenton is exceedingly attractive, and
especially the hatchery, which is not only one of the most artistic

ever put up by the Commission, but is also well adapted for the pur-

pose for which it was built.

During the spring months the shad stations on the Potomac, Sus-
quehanna, and Delaware rivers were visited from time to time for the
purpose of conferring with the superintendents with reference to the

_proper conduct of the work. Inspections were also made of the lob-

ster work in progress at Woods Hole and Gloucester, and a careful
examination was made, in company with the superintendent, Mr. C. G.
Atkins, of the auxiliary station for collecting Atlantic salmon at the
headwaters of the Penobscot at Mattagamon. The rack was then being
constructed, and it was thought a considerable number of salmon
would be secured. En route from Bangor a stop was made at Cape
Vincent, as this station had not been inspected for several years. It

is very attractive and well equipped throughout. The fish-cultural

work was about to close, the pike-perch and brook-trout fry having
all been hatched and partly distributed. A conference was held
with the superintendent relative to the pike-perch work at Swanton
and the taking up of the sturgeon work on Lake Champlain.

STATION REPORTS.
GREEN LAKE STATION, MAINE (E. E. RACE, SUPERINTENDENT).

As the water in Green Lake has been very low for several summers,
and particularly low during the past season, it became necessary to
construct a floating wharf at Mann Brook as a landing. A scow 26

feet long was also built for transporting fish from the station to the ©

railroad station at Green Lake, the spawning-house which had been
used at Great Brook was removed to the station and fitted up as a resi-
dence for one of the laborers, and the old hatchery building, which
had been removed from the head of the lake to the station in 1898, was
remodeled and fitted up as a cottage. <A large amount of miscella-
neous work was also accomplished by the station force, including
repairs to the hatchery, ponds, foreman’s residence, and the steamer
Senator.

The fish on hand at the beginning of the year are shown by the
following table:

The young landlocked salmon were carried through the summer
in troughs and ponds with remarkable success; the distribution
made during August and September amounted to 309,274, showing a
loss of 1,849, or less than 0.5 per cent of the number on hand at the
beginning of the year. These fish were fed chiefly on beef liver,
purchased in Bangor and shipped to the station by express three times
a week. When the landlocked salmon of 1898 were again counted in
November there were found to be 301, of which 176 were albinus; 50

were furnished in February to the Boston Sportsmen’s Association, and —

at the end of the year only 24 of the lot remained. Of those hatched
in 1896 but one was lost during the year. They were held in the south
reservoir and made a fine growth, measuring from 12 to 14 inches in
length. It is hoped that they will yield eggs next season.

The brook trout retained from the hatch of 1898 are held in one of
the small ponds at the rear of the hatchery, and though apparently
healthy, they have grown very slowly. During the summer 349 of
them died on account of the high temperature of the water.

The two lots of steelhead trout resulting from eggs hatched in 1897
and 1898 have done very well since they were transferred from the
shallow ponds to the reservoir, where there is a considerable depth of
water; of the younger lot 3,653 were liberated in Rocky Pond in
November, and at the close of the year there were on hand 493 of the
hatch of 1897 and 1,368 of the hatch of 1898. They were examined
in April and the males were found to be well developed, about 75 per

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 35

cent of them being ripe, though no ripe females were found. It is
expected that they will produce quite a number of eggs next season.
Early in September arrangements were made for the collection of
brook-trout, lake-trout, landlocked-salmon, and golden-trout eggs at
the various field stations operated in previous years. The outlook
was very discouraging, on account of the protracted drought, the
water in all the surrounding ponds and streams being very low.
The following table shows the field stations operated, number of
fish captured, and yield of eggs from the various sources:

The fish captured at the various auxiliary stations were liberated
as soon as stripped, with no loss. The eggs collected at Winkempaugh,
Flood Pond, and Patton Pond were transferred to the station as soon
as fertilized, and arrived in fair condition, the losses averaging from -
7 per cent to 14 per cent. Those from fish penned at Great Brook
were delivered without loss. The eggs collected at Enfield were eyed
at the State hatchery and then transferred, the lake-trout eggs arriving
on November 28 and the salmon eggs in February.

The water supply at this station was very unsatisfactory throughout
the winter. The temperature of the water dropped in November from
45° to 324°, and it remained intensely cold untilspring. This seriously
retarded the development of the eggs, those of the brook trout being

in the water 125 days and of the salmon 132 days before showing the

eye-spots. These unfavorable conditions caused serious losses.

In addition to the eggs collected in Maine, 300,000 lake-trout eggs
were received from Northville and 200,000 brook-trout eggs were pur-
chased from dealers in Massachusetts. The latter arrived in excel-
lent condition, the entire loss on the 200,000 being about 13 per cent.
Of the lake-trout eggs collected at Cold Stream Pond, 350,000 were
turned over to the State of Maine.

The fry commenced hatching early in March, and in April and May
587,000 lake-trout, 323,644 brook-trout, and 6,990 golden-trout fry were
distributed. At the close of the year the following were on hand:

The fishes handled at this station during the year were Atlantic
salmon, landlocked salmon, quinnat salmon, steelhead trout, rainbow
trout, brook trout, Scotch sea trout. On July 1, 1899, there were on
hand nearly a million fish, as indicated in the following table:

The large stock of young Atlantic salmon hatched the previous
spring were fed as usual upon chopped food, mainly hog-plucks,
though the flesh of old horses and other domestic animals formed a
very considerable item. They were carried until autumn with fair
success, when 542,849 were liberated, over 521,000 being planted in the
upper waters of the Penobscot and its tributaries; the balance were
deposited near Craig Brook. It is thought that fry liberated well up
the river have a better chance of life than those planted below
Bucksport.

In October and November the adult fish impounded at Dead Brook
the previous June yielded 1,881,608 eggs. Of these, 1,854 were lost in
incubation and 550,000 were shipped to State fish commissions and
other applicants. The U. 8. Fish Commission received 1,500,267
eggs as its share of the collections at this point, but in April the
Maine commission returned its proportion, amounting to 187,533. The .
hatching was done at Craig Brook, and 1,135,946 strong, healthy fry
were produced. They suffered very little during the sac stage, and
of the total number hatched only 13,867 were lost. In June 908,073
were planted in the upper waters of the Penobscot at Brewnville,
Grindstone, and Oakfield, leaving 194,572 on hand at the end of the
year, which will be carried until fall and distributed in the same waters.

The superintendent visited the upper waters of the Penobscot sev-
eral times during the year, with the view to determining how many
salmon reach the natural spawning grounds, and whether it would be
possible to obtain eggs from this source in sufficient numbers to per-
mit the discontinuance of operations at Dead Brook. As a result of
these investigations it was decided to reduce the scale of operations
materially at Dead Brook and to establish an auxiliary station on the
east branch of the Penobscot River at Mattagamon, in township 3,
range 7 west from the east line of the State, by river about 20 miles

— ee

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 37

above Medway, where the east and west branches unite, about 150
miles above Bucksport, and 74 miles from Staceyville, on the Bangor
and Aroostook Railroad. The temporary camp and works are located
on the west side of the river at the entrance to a cove known as ‘‘ Hunt
Logan,” formed by an ancient river bed from which the stream has by ~
natural causes been partially diverted, though the connection between
the old bed and the new is still maintained.

After careful consideration it was estimated that about 200 salmon
had passed over the dams to the upper waters of the Penobscot and
spawned the previous summer, but the nests are scattered over about
50 miles of stream, and unless the fish can be captured and held at
one point it would be impossible to collect any considerable number
of eggs. It was therefore necessary to select a site where all the fish
ascending the stream could be captured and held until September or
October, and for this reason ‘‘ Hunt Logan” was selected. By means
of a weir across the river, it is proposed to turn all the fish into the
mouth of the ‘‘ Logan” and then into a trap without any handling what-
ever. The problem of constructing a weir that would give passage
to boats and logs, which are floated down past this point in July, and
still maintain itself and its efficiency without interrupting the work,
has been a very difficult one, but an attempt will be made to meet it
in the following manner: A leader will be run diagonally across the
river, with pounds for entrapping the salmon at the upper or western
end, and from these pounds the fish will be admitted to the inclosure
in the ‘“‘Logan.” The pounds will be made by driving stakes in the
bottom, but the leader which spans the river will consist of a series
of small peeled, seasoned, and buoyant poles, anchored by attaching
one end to a heavy chain cable, about 1 foot apart, and allowing the
other end to swing free in the current, which will permit them to rise
aslant to the surface and keep them swaying constantly to and fro.

This weir is now in course of preparation.

During the months of May and June 212 adult salmon were pur-
chased at the mouth of the river and impounded at Dead Brook, so
that in the event of failure at the head of the river it will still be
possible to collect a fair number of eggs.

The landlocked salmon on hand at the beginning of the year at
Craig Brook and Grand Lake Stream were carried through the sum-
mer with slight losses, and during the fall months 70,836 were dis-
tributed from Craig Brook and 111,787 from Grand Lake Stream.
The loss at the latter point during the summer amounted to 18,799,
most of which probably escaped through the foot screens in the troughs
into Grand Lake Stream.

The trap for the capture of adult salmon was completed on October
28, and fishing commenced immediately and continued uninterruptedly
until November 20. The water in the stream was unusually low, but
the fish commenced running in large numbers and 541 had been penned
by November 3. The run stopped abruptly at this time, and though

38 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

opeiations continued for over two weeks the total catch amounted to
only 371 females and 256 males. Of the females 24 proved barren;
the others yielded 242,559 eggs, of which 182,300 were eyed and half
of them transferred to Craig Brook. The balance were held at Grand
Lake Stream and hatched. The fry did well until June 27, when
they were suddenly attacked by an epidemie which carried off a third
of them in three days, so that 53,715 remain at the close of the year.
Of those transferred to Craig Brook 75,000 were shipped to State fish
commissions and private applicants; the balance were hatched, pro-
ducing 15,944 fry. Of these, 10,000 were distributed in the spring and
5,092 remain at the close of the year.

In one of the deep ponds 166 steelhead trout have been held for
several years for experimental purposes, and from these 42,000 eggs

were collected during the spring of 1900. They were of very poor

quality, however, and only 33,275 fry were hatched from them. Of
these, 9,000 were distributed and there are on hand 21,092.

During the spring of 1897 a number of adult rainbow trout were
turned loose in Alamoosook Lake. The following spring and each
spring thereafter, though in decreased numbers, the survivors of the
fish have entered Craig Brook to spawn. Some eggs have. been taken
from them each season, but mostly of poor quality. During the past
spring 12,600 eggs were obtained from this source.

The two adult broods of Scotch sea trout on hand are the result of
eges imported from Scotland in 1891, the oldest brood being the result
of the eggs imported, and the other their first descendants. Eggs were
collected from both broods this spring, and though not of first-class
quality they were no worse than the average eggs from domesticaved
fish. In fact this species stands at the head of allthe Salmonide reared |
at Craig Brook for vigor and hardiness in the face of unfavorable
influences. Of the 144,145 eggs collected 10,000 were shipped, and the
balance were hatched at the station, producing 98,575 fry; 35,000 were
liberated in May, and on June 30 there remained on hand 6,416.

The food consumed at this station during the year was as follows:
3,574 pounds of beef liver, 22,234 pounds of hogs’ plucks, and 8,560
pounds of horse flesh, in all 34,368 pounds, costing $449.57, in addition
to $56.04 for freight, $71.26 for drayage, and $37.80 for ice and its
preservation, making the total cost of fish food for the year $614.67.

The rainbow-trout fry on hand on July | were obtained from fish
hatched at the station in 1896, but only 77 of them lived to the close
of the year. From the 256 adults available in the spring 58,574 eggs
were taken, but many of them were shotty and hard, so that only
48,740 were placed in the troughs; and though these appeared to be
of good quality, only 6,000 of the fry hatched from them survived to
the close of the year. These are apparently strong and healthy. The
first eggs taken were laid down in cold water in the hatchery; later
on troughs were set up at the source of a spring and these eggs were
transferred to them, as well as all eggs subsequently taken, and it
was found that the eggs which had been carried in cold water for a few
weeks eyed about as well as the others, though most of them burst
before hatching. It is estimated that only 10,00U of the total take
were actually fertilized.

Of the 4,335 steelhead-trout fry on hand at the beginning of the
year,. 3,540 were reared to the fingerling stage and 2,200 of them
were planted. The others were retained for domestication, but by the
last of the year their number had been reduced to 348. As the pond

- in which they were held during the winter was covered with ice 2 feet

thick, it is impossible to assign any reason for so large a loss.

Of the 7 ,665 brook-trout fry on hand at the first of the year, 6,310
were distributed as fingerlings and the balance retained; 470 of them
survived the winter.

The landlocked salmon suffered extremely during the hot summer
months, and in the fall only 17,260 remained for distribution. In
order to keep landlocked salmon in a healthy condition it is neces-
sary to salt them thoroughly at least three times a week.

The hybrid trout obtained by crossing the fontinalis with the namay-
cush were carried without difficulty for several weeks, when 100 were
delivered to Prof. W. J. Moenkhaus, of Harvard College, and 1,859
were planted in Caspian Lake.

The 8,000 grayling fry resulting from a shipment of eggs from
Bozeman dwindled rapidly after the absorption of the sac, but the
few strong ones among them took food readily and made a more rapid
growth than any other variety of fish ever hatched and reared at this

40 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

station. Another peculiarity in connection with them was the remark-
able variation in the size of the fingerlings. They were fed on an
emulsion of liver, obtained by grinding it as fine as possible, strain-
ing, then mixing with water and allowing it to stand for the coarser
portions to settle. The liquid portion of the food thus obtained was
fed to the grayling and the settlings utilized as food for the trout fry.
At the close of the year 73 of this lot remained.

During the summer and fall field collecting stations were estab-
lished at Darling Pond, Groton; Lake Mitchell, Sharon; Lake Dun-
more at Salisbury, Big and Little Ponds in Averill, and also at the
State hatchery, Roxbury.

Darling Pond, where operations have been successfully conducted
for several years, changed ownership recently, and a contract was
made with the present owners whereby they are to receive one half
the eggs taken there and the Fish Commission the other half. The
trap was put in place on July 25, but at that time the stream feeding
the pond was nearly dry on account of the long-continued drought.
The catch of fish was far below that of any previous season, and
many that were taken in nets below the trap appeared to be clearing
off spawning-beds. The total number of eggs secured was 390,828, of
which 172,828 were lost in incubation. Half the balance were turned
over to the owners of the lake and the remainder were shipped to St.
Johnsbury. Besides reducing the catch, the drought tended to impair
the quality of the eggs secured. Its effects were very noticeable on
the spawning fish, whether detained in pens or having free range.
Trout will not spawn naturally when the water is low. <A few strag-
glers ascend the stream, and if caught and retained in the pens they
will ripen in time, but the percentage of eggs saved is never large.
The majority of the fish swim around the mouths of the streams
awaiting an opportunity to ascend on a rise of water. If a sudden
rain falls and causes even a temporary rise it will start them, and
apparently has an immediate effect upon the eggs and milt.

At the field stations, for rough measurement, an 8-ounce tin dipper
is used, it being necessary to establish a measure for each stripping,
owing to the great variation in the size of theeggs. The largest ones
are obtained at the first stripping and the smallest at the last. At
Darling Pond the first stripping yielded 2,800 eggs to the ounce and the
last 4,500, the intermediate ten strippings varying between these two
measures, the number per ounce becoming greater at each consecutive
stripping. ;

The work at Lake Mitchell was very satisfactory and more eggs
were taken than in any previous season, notwithstanding the excessive
drought. The good results of stocking this lake were very apparent
this year in the largely increased take of fish, 3,136 being captured,
1,691 being females. During the season 726,649 eggs were obtained
from 1,339 females; 355,649 died during incubation or were not ferti-
lized, and the remaining 371,000 were transferred to St. Johnsbury.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 41

It was noticed that the number of females exceeded the number of
males, and tosuch an extent at times that it became impossible to
secure an adequate amount of milt. At Quimby mill-pond, 4,000 eggs
were fertilized with milt taken at Lake Mitchell (about 2 miles dis-
tant) several hours earlier. On November 24 the traps and racks
were removed and the fish liberated. It was then found that most of
the males were ripe, just twenty-five days after the last female had
been stripped. This peculiarity was attributed to the drought.

Lake Dunmore is in the town of Salisbury and has an area of about
3,000 acres, one-half of which is suitable for lake trout and bass.
The other half is shallow and is inhabited by pickerel and other coarse
varieties. An examination of the spawning-grounds in 1898 seemed
to indicate that a large number of lake-trout eggs could be secured,
consequently on October 16 a field station was established and a care-
ful watch of the spawning-beds was kept. A camp was started,
troughs set up and connected with a spring, and a trap was set near
the spawning-grounds off White Rocks. No fish were caught and
the position of the net was changed, but with no better suecess. On
the 25th of October 208 lake trout were captured by using a 200-foot.
gill net as aseine off Birch Point, about a half mile from White Rocks,
the catch being made between 8 p.m. andda.m. As soon as it was
discovered that they could be taken in apparatus of this character a
40-rod seine was used and 761 were captured by the 14th of Novem-
_ ber, 639 being males. Of the females 102 were ripe and yielded
212,000 eggs. The fish averaged 35 pounds in weight, though the
largest weighed nearly 15 pounds. Difficulty was also experienced
here in securing milt, in one instance over 100 males being handled
in order to obtain enough to fertilize the eggs from 12 females. - Only
about 84.5 per cent of the eggs taken were successfully eyed. The
station was closed on December 20 and the eggs transferred.

A field station was established at the Averill ponds, principally for
the collection of golden trout (awreolus) and incidentally for brook
trout, both species being abundant there, but no ripe fish of either
Species were captured, though an assistant was kept at the ponds
throughout the spawning season.

' Arrangements were made with the State Commission to collect at
Roxbury, and as a result 340,000 eyed eggs were secured.

The total collections of eyed eggs transferred from all points to St.
Johnsbury amounted to 820,000 of the brook trout and 212,000 of the
lake trout. In addition to these, 30,000 rainbow-trout eggs were trans-
ferred from Manchester, 40,000 landlocked-salmon eggs from Maine
stations, 55,000 steelhead-trout eggs from Clackamas, and 72,000 gray-
ling eggs from Bozeman, all arriving in excellent condition except the
rainbows. These came in two lots and were transferred from a tem-
perature of 42° to 33°. The losses on both lots occurred chiefly about
a month after their receipt and just as they commenced to hatch,
only about 800 fry resulting from the two consignments.

492 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

During December and January 314,000 brook-trout eggs were shipped
to State fish commissions and private applicants, including one ship-
ment to Scotland. The lake-trout fry hatched in March and April,
producing 180,000, which were distributed in suitable waters in Ver-
mont, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The distribution of the brook
trout commenced in April and was completed the last of June, 534,100
being distributed during that period by employees of the station.

At the close of the year there were on hand the following:

It has been found here that brook trout thrive best in a temperature
ranging from 55° to 60° and grayling in a temperature from 65° to 70°.
Both grayling and trout have been tested in temperatures ranging
from 48° to 70° during the last two months of the year, and from the
observations it has been possible to make with the varying conditions
it is believed that landlocked salmon, steelheads, and rainbow trout
all do best in temperatures most favorable to the brook trout, while —
grayling thrive best in water somewhat warmer. One trough of gray- -
ling kept in spring water at 48° (the same in which they were hatched)
did not take food readily and nearly all of them died. While the
landlocked salmon have endured the highest temperature of any
variety tested, they do not take food readily in water above 70°.

NasHUA STATION, NEw HAMPSHIRE (W. F.. HUBBARD, SUPERINTENDENT).

On July 1 the personnel provided for by Congress, consisting of a
‘superintendent, a fish-culturist, and two laborers, was appointed.
The superintendent relieved Mr. W. F. Page, who had been in charge
of the construction work, on July 12.

During the summer, with the assistance of a temporary foree, con-
siderable work was fpneee on the grounds and ponds. AJlof the ponds
were dried, the mud removed, and the bottoms covered with sand.
Eleven wells were driven on the south side of the hatchery building
to furnish water. These are of 2-inch iron pipe, driven from 14 to 20
feet deep, and when completed, in August, they furnished 192 gallons
of water per minute, or an average of 174 gallons per well. The
wells discharge into a wooden flume on the outside of the building,
which connects with the hatching-troughs by means of iron pipes
through the sides. The grounds around the hatchery and the walks
‘between the ponds were graded and sown with grass, and various
other minor improvements were made.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 43

In September the adult trout, numbering 114, were transferred from
the stock pond to one of the smaller ponds, where they could be more
easily handled during the spawning season. The first eggs were col-
lected on October 20 and the last on November 29. An auxiliary
station for the collection of eggs of the native brook trout was also
established at Dublin Pond, New Hampshire; but only a small num-
ber of eggs were secured, and at the close of operations there the 240
adult fish that had been stripped were transferred to ponds at the
- station.

Owing to the unprecedented drought prevailing all through New
England, the water supply from the wells was seriously affected in the
fall and it became necessary to use water from the western reservoir.
- In January 350,000 brook-trout eggs were received from the New
Hampshire commissioners to be hatched at the station, and the fry
resulting were returned to them in May and June. In February
358,000 brook-trout eggs were purchased from Mr. L. B. Handy, of
South Wareham, Mass., but they proved to be of very poor quality
and produced only 223,750 fry. Of these 113,000 were distributed in
_ May and June to applicants in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and
Rhode Island, together with 284,630 lake-trout fry resulting from a
shipment of 300,000 eggs received from Duluth in March. On the
11th of May 50,000 grayling eggs arrived from Bozeman in excellent
condition, and were hatched without any appreciable loss, though
quite a loss occurred just after the absorption of the sac. They were
_ transferred at this time from troughs in the hatchery, where the tem-
perature of the water was 48°, to some of the outside troughs, where
the water temperature was 60°. After that there was comparatively
no loss; and on June 30 there were 29,785 fingerlings on hand.

The superintendent received from ihe New Hampshire Commission
a large number of adult lake trout, landlocked salmon, and golden
_ trout, which were held in the ponds from November until February
for the Boston Sportsmen’s Association.

A contract for the construction of the superintendent’s cottage was
made in December, and by May 31 the building was completed. Itis
a frame building 30 by 38 feet with cellar. The first floor consists of a
hall, parlor, dining room, pantry, and kitchen, with four bedrooms
and a bathroom on the second floor, and an attic extending over the
entire house above. ©

Woops Hoe Station, MAssAcHusETTs (E. F. LOCKE, SUPERINTENDENT).

In October the Grampus commenced the collection of brood-cod, as
usual, and by November 18 had delivered at the station 2,200, varying
in weight from 6 to 20 pounds; 152 were also purchased from one of
the commercial fishermen, making a total of 2,352. These fish yielded
103,444,000 eggs. Of these 630 died from natural causes during the
season and 1,311 barren and spent ones were tagged and released, and
by the close of the year 11 of them had been reported captured between
Chatham, Mass., and the New Jersey coast.

The Plymouth auxiliary station was opened in November under direc-
tion of Capt. E. E. Hahn, Mr. G. F. O. Hanson, mate of the Grampus,
being placed in immediate charge of the work with a force of spawn-
takers. The first eggs at that point were obtained on November 28,
and by the 17th of February 71,275,000 had been transferred to Woods
Hole, bringing the total for the season to 174,719,000. The quality of
the eggs was excellent and the fry from them were apparently strong
and healthy. Asa result of the season’s work 126,921,000 fry were
liberated in Vineyard Sound, near Gay Head. It is recommended that
this work be extended and that at least 3,500 brood cod be provided
for next season. :

As the experience of past years has shown that a majority of the
flat-fish had spawned before the work was undertaken, arrangements
were made this year, early in January, to set fyke nets in Woods Hole
Harbor, but no fish were captured until the end of that month. On
January 30 nets were also sent to Waquoit Bay, but could not be set
until February 7 on account of the large amount of ice in the harbor.
From these two fields 250 adults were secured, 29 of which died from
natural causes before spawning. The spawning lasted from January
31 to April 18, during which time 102,381,000 eggs were secured,
47,069,000 being obtained from fish caught in Woods Hole Harbor and
_ 90,312,000 from those caught at Waquoit Bay. Itis worthy of remark
that the Woods Hole fish yielded more eggs per fish than those from
Waquoit, the average of the former being 475,000 per fish and of the
latter 357,000. 'This is the reverse of the experience of past years.

As great difficulty had been experienced in the past two years in
artificially fertilizing the eggs, the plan was adopted this year of hold-
ing the brood-fish in live-boxes and allowing them to spawn naturally.
The results were very gratifying. But few unfertilized eggs were
observed, and the output of fry was the largest in the history of the
Commission, the plants in Waquoit Bay and Woods Hole Harbor
amounting to 87,115,000.

Although every effort was made to enlarge the lobster work, the
season was very discouraging. Early in April arrangements were made
for collecting egg-lobsters at Plymouth and Scituate, and also from
fishermen operating in Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound. Subse-
quently a sailing smack was employed to attend the pots in the

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 45

vicinity of Noank and Stonington, and Block Island and Newport.

Karly in May, when the majority of the lobsters are usually caught,

the coast was swept by high easterly winds, causing heavy seas, which

interfered materially with fishing operations. In addition to this,

lobsters were scarcer than ever before in the history of the fisherv,

and in many localities operations were abandoned entirely and the

fishermen engaged in other pursuits. This was particularly noticeable

at Noank and Block Island. At the former place, where there are
- usually 40 fishermen, only 10 set pots, and even these discontinued
‘work on June 9, on account of the poor results attained and loss of
_ gear. At Block Island the conditions were even worse; where 15 or
_ 20 men usually engaged in this fishery, only one set pots this year,
_-and he abandoned them later to go cod-fishing. The same condi-
tions existed to-a certain extent at New Bedford, Buzzards Bay, and
elsewhere. From New Bedford, which has been in the past one of the
_ most productive fields, and which yielded last year 347 egg-lobsters,
- only 26 were secured. The season closed on June 27, the take amount-
| ing to 28,142,000 eggs, from which 22,463,000 fry were hatched and
_ planted or turned over to Dr. H. C. Bumpus for experiment, with the
_ view to feeding them in pens until after the fourth molting.

During the summer all of the buildings were painted inside and out,
_.the old plumbing in the residence was replaced with new, and the
whole system of water-pipes was overhauled. In many instances the
old pipes, which had been in use for a number of years, were so badly
corroded that more than three-fourths of the opening was closed.

In the hatchery and laboratory a number of additional bedrooms
were provided. Work on the wharf commenced in the fall, but it was
not completed owing to lack of funds. The old boiler and engine in
_ the launch Blue Wing were condemned and new machinery installed,
the main boiler being also repaired and the old tubes removed. The
_ engines in the launch Cygnet were also overhauled and repaired.

GLOUCESTER STATION, MassacHusETTs (C. G. CorRLISS, SUPERINTENDENT),

Operations at this station were confined to cod and lobsters. During
the summer no fish-cultural work was in progress, but the station force
was fully occupied in making repairs to the buildings and getting the
hatching apparatus ready for fall work. The old wharf, which had
been practically destroyed by the storms of the previous winter, was
removed and a new.one 155 feet long by 16 feet wide, with a T at the
outer end 42 feet by 16 feet, was constructed, in accordance with plans
prepared by the architect of the Commission. As soon as it was fin-
ished the suction box, which extends from the hatchery to the end of
_ the wharf, was replaced and the suction pipe laid into it, packed in
Sawdust to prevent its freezing in winter.

By November 15 the station was in thorough order, but no eggs
were received until the latter part of the month, when Captain Hahn
with the crew of the Grampus commenced collections at Kittery. At

46 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

the same time another force, under the direction of Mr. Hanson, began
work at Plymouth, Mass. The first eggs were received at the station
on November 28, and collections continued uninterruptedly until
March 23, during which period 180,230,000 were obtained at Kittery
and forwarded to Gloucester, besides 17,792,000 from Plymouth and
858,000 from loeal fishermen, making a total of 198,880,000 for the
season.

The number of eggs collected was larger than usual, and of excel-
lent quality, which was due to a large extent to the favorable weather
throughout the winter. As a result of the season’s work, 135,693,000
fry were hatched and planted along the Massachusetts coast from
Rockport to Beverly, and 3,000,000 were deposited in the Chesapeake
Bay as an experiment.

As soon as the last of the fry were distributed arrangements were
made to commence the collection of egg lobsters. The Grampus pro-
ceeded early in April to the coast of Maine, and with the steam smack

collected from all points between Portland and Eastport, shipping the

lobsters to the station. Arrangements were also made—at Kittery,
Cohasset, Boston, and all points in the vicinity of the station—with
fishermen for holding their egg lobsters. By the middle of May the
receipts from Massachusetts were very satisfactory and the prospects

seemed good for a large season’s work, but about this time the catch,

decreased steadily to the end of the season. On the Maine coast the
season opened badly and the collections were smaller than usual, no
lobsters being received from Nova Scotia. Between April 1 and the
10th of July 4,643 egg-bearing lobsters were purchased, which yielded
63,335,000 eggs.

The following table shows the number collected in the various

localities and the yield of eggs from same:

Dr. H. C. Bumpus, at Woods Hole, was supplied with 1,300,000 eggs
for experimental purposes. The balance yielded 58,560,000 fry, which
were planted as shown in the table of distribution.

The lobster eggs shipped from Maine and other points arrived in
much better condition than in the past, consequently the loss in
hatching was small and the fry were strong and healthy. In accord-
ance with an agreement made with the Maine Fish Commission the
fry hatched from eggs collected on that coast were distributed in the
waters of the State. They were shipped both by the schooner Grampus
and by messenger and were planted in -fine condition. The adults

: REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 47

_ were all liberated in the waters of the State from which they were
obtained, care being taken to plant them well out at sea so that they
- would not be recaptured immediately.

As in previous seasons large numbers of dead lobster fry were
| sometimes found in the cans, special attention was paid to this mat-
| ter on each trip, and on the completion of the work the messenger in

charge reports that there was practically no loss. The new eggs
made their appearance fully two weeks in advance of any previous
year, which was attributed to the mild winter and to the fact that
the water offshore during the winter and spring was several degrees
warmer than has been the case for several years.

CAPE VINCENT STATION, NEW YORK (LIVINGSTON STONE, SUPERINTENDENT).

During July and August a part of the force was engaged at Swan-
ton, Vt., in cleaning up the fishing-grounds preparatory to collecting
pike perch there the following spring. Early in April operations
were commenced on the Missisquoi River 3 miles below Swanton. A
‘substantial shed 11 by 27 feet, with a platform 17 by 27 feet, was con-
structed on the river bank as a spawning-house, and three pens for
holding fish were placed in the river near by. In the middle of the
spawning-shed, and running lengthwise of it, a trough 12 feet long and
15 inches wide, divided into two compartments, was provided for
holding ripe fish. This was supplied by a constant stream of water
from tanks located on the platform. Fishing commenced April 14,
but no ripe fish were found until the 22d, when they began coming on
in large numbers, and from that time to the end of the month opera-
tions were pushed vigorously and large numbers captured, as many as

657 male pike perch being landed at one haul of a seine 22 rods
long; 1,859 spawning fish were taken, which yielded 130,300,000 eggs,
according to measurements made on the grounds, although when
-remeasured at the hatchery there were less than 116,000,000. Of these
$5,225,000 were transferred to Cape Vincent and 30,500,000 were
hatched at Swanton for distribution in Vermont waters, producing
12,600,000 fry, or about 41 per cent of the number of eggs retained.
The fry were planted under the direction of the Vermont Fish Commis-
‘sion during June.
The hatchery is a small wooden building located near the Ninh scree
River, in the town of Swanton. It was fitted with a battery of two
tiers, containing 28 jars each, and a tank for the reception of the fry.
The building was provided with heat and light and was leased ata
small rental, the water supply being furnished by the village of Swan-
ton at the rate of $1 per day. It was very unsatisfactory, however,
as it was filled with sediment washed down from the mountains in
which the river rises, and though two men were kept busy night and
day changing the filters and cleaning the jars, very heavy losses ensued.
It is believed that under ordinary conditions a much larger percentage
of fry would have been hatched.

48 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The eggs forwarded to Cape Vincent were packed on canton-flannel
trays and sent in charge of a messenger. The first two shipments,
forwarded on April 27 and 28, arrived in good condition, but the third
and fourth, transferred on April 30 and May 1, turned out very badly,
though there was no evidence to show that they were injured by trans-
portation. They were probably of inferior quality. The eggs com-
menced hatching late in May and finished early in July, producing
25,400,000 fry, or a little over 30 per cent of the eggs received at Cape
Vincent. The distribution was made with comparatively small losses
in lakes and streams in western New York. .

In October arrangements were made as usual for the collection of
lake-trout eggs in Lake Ontario in the vicinity of Cape Vincent and
in Lake Erie at Dunkirk, N. Y. The results at both places were
unsatisfactory, only 47,800 being obtained from Lake Ontario and
126,000 from Dunkirk, although the spawn-takers remained on the
collecting-grounds for nearly a month. The failure at both points
was due tothe fact that storms continued almost uninterruptedly
during the fishing season, destroying nearly all of the nets. Early in
December 2,000,000 lake-trout eggs arrived from Northville in excel-
lent condition, and were hatched in the Stone salmon baskets placed
in Williamson troughs, the losses being comparatively light. The
fry, amounting to 1,875,800, were distributed in February and March,
except:'a few thousand which were planted in May. 7

As there are no fields in the vicinity from which brook-trout eggs
can be collected, arrangements were made to purchase a supply from
dealers in New England, and during the early part of September
360,000 were obtained in this way. They were hatched in ordinary -
trout troughs, and the 280,500 fry resulting were planted in May and
June, immediately after the absorption of the sac.

No attempt was made to collect white-fish eggs on Lake Ontario this
year, as repeated efforts in that field in past years had proved fruit-
less; and as the collections on Lake Erie were larger than ever before
in the history of the Commission, 34,560,000 eggs were transferred
from Put-in Bay. They arrived in good condition, and 75 per cent —
were hatched in the McDonald jars. It is worthy of remark that
during the distribution no white-fish fry died in the tanks or in the
cans in transit. It seems extraordinary that in the process of han-
dling and shipping so large a number not a single dead fish should have
been found. A plant of 400,000 was made in Lake Champlain at the
request of the Vermont Somuaiaeal

It was hoped that some effort would be made this year to continue
the experimental sturgeon work undertaken the previous season, but
lack of funds prevented. Through the efforts of Mr. Myron Green, a
temporary employee, and several fishermen, however, over 70 stur-
geon caught on the Missiquoi River were confined in pens and exam-
ined from time to time for ripe eggs. A few were found in one partly
spent fish and were hatched at Swanton in the ordinary jars. A small

number of the fry produced were transferred to Cape Vincent. Much
interest is manifested in this work, and it is hoped that some practical
results may be secured next season.

STEAMER FisH Hawk (JAMES A. SMITH, COMMANDING).

On April 23 the vessel left Baltimore for the Delaware River, arriv-
ing there April 26. The crew were at once employed in getting the
hatching apparatus in order, and arrangements were made with the
fishermen to supply eggs on cc same terms as heretofore, namely, $10
per million. Mr. W. H. Johnson and G. L. Hopper were placed in
charge of the hatchery and the crew were utilized as spawn-takers.
_ The tirst eggs were collected on April 27, and collections continued
uninterruptedly until the close of the season on May 31. During this
period the work was most successful; 80,559,000 eggs were secured, from
which 47,975,000 fry were hatched; 6,006,000 eggs were transferred
to the Pennsylvania State Fish Commission hatchery at Bristol, and
_ 8,332,000 were deposited on the spawning-grounds in Howell Cove
and near Bennett’s fishery, owing to the fact that the hatching facili-
ties of the vessel were overcrowded. In addition to this 700,000 eggs
were shipped to New York for transshipment to Ireland.

As in former seasons the Howell Cove fishery yielded the largest
number of eggs, 36,194,000 being taken at that point, 16,035,000 from
_ Bennett’s Fishery, and 5,515,000 from Cramer Hill. The balance,
. 22,815,000, were collected from the gill-net fishermen off Billingsport,
N. J. There is little doubt but that if funds had been available and
the work could have been continued as heretofore until June 10, the
collections would have reached 100,000,000.

. The gill-net fishermen in the vicinity captured 7 Atlantic Lana
weighing from 10 to 15 pounds, during the season.

On June 4, the last of the fry having been planted, the- hatching
apparatus was dismantled and the vessel shortly after proceeded to
Woods Hole.

BATTERY STATION, HAVRE DE GRACE, MD. (J. N. WISNER, JR., SUPT.).

On March 12 the superintendent opened the station with a force of
Six men and began fitting up the launches and placing the hatchery
in conditionfor work. The mess-room, which had been much crowded
in the past two years, was enlarged and repairs were made to the
cottages occupied by the machinist in charge and the superintendent.
F. C., 1900-4

50 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

By April 15 the launches had been thoroughly overhauled and the
hatching apparatus tested. The force was increased and vessels hired
and stationed at various points to receive eggs from the fishermen.

The season was late, no eggs being collected until the 19th, on which
date the water temperature registered 54°. As heretofore, arrange-
ments had been made with all the gillers fishing from Battery station,
and within a radius of from 8 to 10 miles, to furnish eggs at the rate
of $20 per million, and 20 spawn-takers and assistants were employed
for the purpose of attending the floats and doing other work.

The nightly collections were small (not exceeding 2,000,000) until
April 26, when 4,900,000 were secured. ‘They increased materially
from that time, reaching a maximum of 16,332,000 on May 2. The
season continued uninterruptedly until May 30, the total collections
aggregating 167,582,000.

During the latter part of May ripe females were taken in large
numbers, but male fish were very scarce. On one night 12,000,000 eggs
were brought in, but the next day only 3,000,000 of them were found
to be impregnated. On June 2 the water became so salt that opera-
tions were discontinued and the force dismissed. The season’s work,
though not as great as in the past two years, was exceedingly satisfac-
tory. Of the eggs collected 17,711,000 were planted on the spawning-
grounds in the vicinity of the station, as the hatchery was overcrowded ;
12,040,000 were shipped to Central station, Washington, D. C., and
to the Maryland Fish Commission in Baltimore, and 87,518,000 fry were
hatched and planted in the Chetpese Bay and its tributaries and
in the Hudson River.

The following shows the number of eggs collected during April,
May, and June, with the average temperature of air and water:

On May 19 the temperature fell very suddenly from 70° to 64°, and
on the following day it was noticed that many of the fry had bubbles.
of air in the sac. <A large percentage of them exhibited this phe-
nomenon in the next five days, the bubbles being easily discernible with
the naked eye and so large as to cause the fry to float. This has been
noticed before, but there are no data to show that it followed a sudden
fall in temperature. Many theories might be advanced to cover this
peculiar occurrence, but no definite conclusions have been reached.

During the spring 100,000 striped-bass eggs were received at the
station, but as no apparatus had been prepared for hatching them,

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 51

the results secured were poor. A number of methods were tried and
a few eggs hatched by each, and there seems to be no doubt that if
many eggs were collected, apparatus could be devised for hatching
them as successfully as the eggs of the shad. The eggs hatched in
forty-four hours, and it was noticed that immediately after hatching
‘the eye-spot could not be seen with the naked eye; but a small sac of
oil was noticed at the head of the fish. Under the microscope the
bubble of oil proved to be just under the head of the fish, apparently
atits mouth. With a strong quarter-inch lens the pupil of the eye
* was discernible as a clear circle within another circle of greater den-
sity. The oil-sac gradually decreased in size, the eye becoming
plainer until the third day, when it disappeared entirely and the eyes
_could be seen without the aid of the microscope. Attention is called
to this, as the eye-spots of other fishes usually become visible about
the middle of the period of incubation. It was proved that a large
number of striped-bass fry may be retained a considerable length of
time in a vessel of water without changing. This would indicate that
they can be transported with great ease.

BRYAN Point STATION, MARYLAND (L. G. HARRON, SUPERINTENDENT).

The station was opened on March 20 and a small force employed
to make the necessary repairs and improvements preparatory for the
coming season’s work. The launch Blue Wing also arrived from
- Gloucester on that day and was utilized in carrying supplies and
material from Washington and Alexandria to the station until the
Spawning season commenced, after which she was engaged in col-
- lecting eggs from the seines and gill nets. Spawning fish having
been observed on April 15, the regular force was taken on the next
day and active operations commenced. An additional steam launch
was chartered for a month to assist in attending the gillers between
Alexandria and Bryan Point and to carry supplies to the station.

Commencing April 17, eggs were collected each day until May 15,
67,904,000 being secured, all of which were hatched at the station,
except 1,023,000 transferred to Central Station. Of the fry hatched
(55,702,000, or 834 per cent of the eggs retained) 6,065,000 were deliv-
éred on board the Fish Commission cars at Alexandria for shipment
to streams in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, and the balance
planted in the Potomac between Broad and Occoquan creeks.

The outlook at the beginning of the season indicated a very large
collection, over 49,000,000 eggs being taken between April 16 and 30,
but in May the catch of fish declined so rapidly that all of the seine
_ fishermen suspended operations and the gillers became indifferent on
account of the small returns and would not fish regularly. Frequently
no fishermen were operating on many of the important fishing-grounds.
On May 19, all of the eggs being hatched and the fry planted, the blue
Wing was transferred to Gloucester, Mass., and on the 25th the station
was closed and left in charge of a watchman,

Fish LAKES, WASHINGTON, D. C. (RUDOLPH HESSEL, SUPERINTENDENT).

During the summer 43,844 black bass were removed from the breed-
ing-ponds to retaining-tanks. Of these 32,967 were carried through
the summer in the rearing-pools and distributed in October and Novem-
ber, when they varied in size from 3 to 6 inches. The large loss of.
young fish is attributed to some extent to their being held for several
weeks in the retaining-tanks, at which time the water was constantly
roiled. In one of the smaller ponds 200 small-mouth bass were
reared and distributed with the large-mouth bass during the fall.
During the winter the west pond, which covered an area of 64 acres,
and which had been devoted for a number of years to the rearing of
shad, was divided by means of a partition (397 feet long) into two
ponds, one to be devoted to the rearing of bass and the other to shad.

In April the adult black bass were placed as usual in the partitions
in the north and south ponds and in that part of the west pond
devoted to their culture, but owing to the low temperature prevailing
in the spring months they did not commence spawning until about
the middle of May. A number of nests were observed about the 20th
and one pair spawned on the night of May 23 in the Eagle Pond,
where an excellent opportunity for watching the development of the
eges was afforded. On May 25 the dark spots indicating the eyes
were conspicuous, and on the fourth day the fry burst from the shell.
They seemed to lie motionless at the bottom of the nest until the 29th,
when they rose a few inches in the water but did not leave the nest
until the following day, when they began to take on a darker eolor.
Another nest in the south pond was first noted on the 25th. Two

days afterwards the first fry appeared, and by the 28th theentire brood —

was hatched. They remained on the nest until June 1, when they
commenced to rise in a similar manner to those observed on the first
nest. A number of other nests were noticed on the 26th and 29th of
May, and it was observed that the eggs remained 4 to 44 days before
they hatched, the fry rising from the nests 3 to 5 days later. The
period of incubation depends on the temperature of the water.

A series of temperatures taken at 7 o’clock in the evening from
May 23 to June 2 was as follows, the mean being 73°:

As soon as the spawning season was over the adults were removed
from the spawning partitions and the young were allowed to pass into
the main body of the pond, which had been thoroughly stocked with

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 53

aquatic plants and water lilies, where they found an abundance of
natural food. In addition to this several hundred thousand carp were
liberated in the pond, which fell victims to the young bass in two or
three weeks.

During the fall 400 crappie were distributed as the result of the
season’s spawning. In the spring of 1900 the adults were again
placed in two small ponds and, though no definite estimate can be
made as to the number of fish on hand, it is believed that the pond
- will yield several thousand in the fall.

When making collections of food-fish in the Potomac River a num-
ber of sun-fish, Lepomis pallidus, were captured. These spawned
in the spring, and as a result 850 young fish were available for distri-
“bution in the fall. This fish was undoubtedly introduced from the
_ Mississippi River, as it is not indigenous to the Potomac. It is
believed that it will be well adapted for stocking small inland ponds.

As in previous years, hundreds of thousands of carp were raised as
food for the bass. Some little attention was also paid to the rearing
of yellow and green tench for stocking public parks and lakes.

During September the shad which had been placed in the ponds the
previous April were liberated. It is estimated that about 2,000,000
passed into the Potomac River. In the following spring 2,849,500
shad fry were placed in this pond. They are apparently doing well
and will be liberated in the fall.

CENTRAL STATION, WASHINGTON, D. C. (J. E. BROWN IN CHARGE).

Work at this station has been conducted on the same lines as here-
tofore, the most important being the distribution of the output from
_ the fish ponds, which amounted to 32,967 young black bass, 400 crap-
pie, and 500 sun-fish. These were distributed without loss. There
_ were also received from Wytheville, Va., 600 rock bass and 2,839
_ yearling rainbow trout, and from Erwin 4,931 brook trout.

During the fall and winter months consignments of landlocked
salmon and white-fish eggs were received from various stations of the
Commission and hatched for the purpose of illustrating fish-cultural
methods. Consignments of shad eggs were also received from Battery
and Bryan Point. The following table shows the number of eggs of

AQUARIUM AT CENTRAL STATION, WASHINGTON, D. C. (L. G. HARRON IN
CHARGE).

During the summer the aquaria were thoroughly overhauled, broken
glass replaced, and the slate and iron work of the salt-water tanks
painted with asphaltum to prevent rust; a new trough for carrying
off the overflow from the salt-water tanks to the filter was built, and
the salt-water supply, amounting to about 5,000 gallons, was renewed.

In September the superintendent, assisted by Mr. W. T. Lindsey,
commenced the collection of marine specimens at Willoughby Spit,
Va., near Fortress Monroe, where the shipping facilities are good, and
by the end of that month 549 specimens, representing 30 species, had
been collected and transferred without loss to Washington. In Octo-
ber 319 specimens, representing 11 species, including two tropical
fishes—the snowy grouper and the big-eye—were brought from Woods
Hole, Mass. These with the addition of sea-anémone and starfish
from Gloucester, filled all the available space. The salt-water fishes
were carried without loss until February, but at that time the water
temperature became too low for them, due to inability to cireulate it
fast enough through the heaters to produce the desired warmth.
Aside from this there was little mortality until May, when the death-
rate increased on account of the rapid rise in temperature, though a
number of specimens, representing 12 species, were on hand at the
close of the year.

As usual, a good exhibit of fresh-water fishes was kept during the
summer, consisting principally of species indigenous to the Potomae
River and the Chesapeake Bay, with the various ornamental fishes.
Most of these specimens have been kept in the aquarium from two to —
four years. Consignments of brook trout, rainbow trout, steelheads,
Atlantic and landlocked salmon transferred from Wytheville, Va.,
and Craig Brook, Me., in October, were exhibited in the aquarium
until May, when the temperature rose above 70; they were then

planted in suitable streams in the vicinity. While in the aquarium
‘they grew very rapidly, and when disposed of were more than twice
as large as when received from the stations.

Two species spawned in the aquarium during the year—four yellow
perch and two yearling brook trout—but none of the eggs hatched.

The food used during the year consisted chiefly of beefsteak, beef
liver, clams, oysters, and minnows, the principal articles being steak
and liver. The meat is prepared for them by first removing the fat
and then cutting it in pieces according to the size of the fish. Clams,

oysters, and minnows are fed only to such fishes as will not take meat
when first captured, but all of them learn to eat beef after being in .
captivity for some time.

As the water pressure is not sufficient in scietates cold weather to
operate the salt-water pump fast enough to keep the temperature
where desired, it is reeommended that a small —— be installed for —
this purpose.

_ During the summer and fall 26 fry-collector aquaria were built
under the direction of the superintendent of the aquarium for use at
the Bryan Point, Battery, and Edenton stations. These were made
with glass sides and ends, slate bottoms, and galvanized iron frames,
the dimensions being 48 inches by 18 inches by 16 inches. The lowest
bid received for their construction from private firms was $40.77 each,
and the actual cost of building them, exclusive of labor of regular
employees, was $13.62 each.

56 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The distribution commenced in September and continued until
December 21, and included 96,965 yearling and 1,074 adult rainbow
trout, besides 16,147 brook trout transferred to Wytheville from Erwin,
Tenn., 4,400 rock bass and 8,540 black bass, of which 6,569 were reared
at the fish ponds in Washington.

The food used in the summer consisted as usual of beef liver and
mush boiled in varying proportions, according to the size of the fish.

The stock of breeding rainbow trout on hand at the commencement
of the spawning season numbered about 5,000, ranging in age from 1 to
10 years old, though fish under 3 years of age are not apt to produce
many eggs. The spawning season opened November 6 and lasted to
February 12, during which period 990,000 eggs were taken from 998
fish, an average of 992. The number of male fish used was about 800.
The variation in the size of the eggs taken was unusually great, and
was no doubt caused by the great difference in the age and size of the
spawners. They ran from 312 to 445 to the ounce, the average for the
season being about 387. The eggs from all of the fish were smaller
than they have ever before averaged at this station, and there appears
to have been a decided change in the habits of the fish for the past
two years as regards the time of spawning. Formerly at least 80 per
cent of the eggs taken were secured at night, but this season and last
50 per cent or more have been collected during the day. This change
is thought to be due to modification in the shape of the spawning-
ponds, the new ones being diamond-shaped and offering a more invit-
ing entrance to the raceways. Of the eggs collected 174,500, or a little
over 17 per cent, were unfertilized or lost during incubation, 377,000
were hatched, and 438,500 were shipped to other stations and to foreign
applicants. The consignments to Ireland and England reached desti-
nation in excellent condition, although en route from 10 to 12 days.
The fry hatched did well through the sae stage, and are being reared
in indoor troughs and ponds outside for distribution in the fall.

For the purpose of introducing new blood in the brood stock, a con-
signment of 20,000 rainbow-trout eggs collected from wild fish in
California were shipped here by the California Fish Commission in
April. They had been packed by Mr. W. H. Shelby at Sisson, Cal.,
and arrived in good condition, considering the distance traveled and
the warm weather at the time. They were at once transferred to
hatching-troughs and produced 16,500 fry, 3,500 of which died in a
few days, having hatched prematurely. The balance were on hand
at the close of the year and in excellent condition.

A consignment of 38,400 brook-trout eggs was received in February
from Massachusetts, but they were of inferior quality and hatched
slowly and unsatisfactorily, thousands dying before leaving the shell.
By the time the yolk-sae was absorbed over 22,000 had been lost, and
on June 30 there remained about 14,000 fingerlings. A few brook
trout were retained from the hatch of last year and are now being

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 57

held in the ponds as an experiment. They have grown well so far
and it is hoped they will spawn next season.

Owing to the unsatisfactory condition of the ponds the black-bass
work at this station has not been successful in the past, but it is
hoped, with the improvements made during the past year, that better
results will be secured hereafter. Early in thespring the brood stock,
consisting of 82 large-mouth and 47 small-mouth bass, was transferred
to the breeding-ponds. Large beds of clean creek gravel were provided
for nest building, and by June a number of nests containing young fish
and eggs had been observed. The fry will be transferred to rearing-
ponds as soon as they are large enough and every effort will be made to
rear a good crop.

_. For the reasons given above rock-bass culture has been a failure
during the past few years. The brood stock has been increased and
there are now 190 on hand. These were placed in the ponds in the
spring and artificial portable nests (heretofore described) provided for
them. Nearly all the 100 nests put in the ponds have been occupied,
and a number of fry have been noted, though it is impossible to give
an estimate at this season of the number on hand. :

About 20 adult carp are kept at the station. In May they are

_ placed in the trout ponds for the purpose of cleaning out foreign
matter and for destroying the lime plant, algae, ete. Assoon as they
spawn the fry are transferred to the bass ponds as food for young bass.

In December, 1896, about 4,000 eggs of the quinnat salmon were
received from the Cape Vincent station. The eggs were hatched and
a part of the fry were distributed at the age of one and two years,
about 1,000 being retained for further developments. From the time
of hatching up to the yearling stage these fish made a very fine
growth, but in the spring of the third year they began to grow weak
and to lose their sight. The disease continued through the summer
and fall, and but few of them were alive by the foliowing winter.

- The balance were planted in the spring, as it was feared they would
all die in the ponds. The water in the pond in which they were con-
fined was less than 4 feet in depth, and it is supposed this was the
cause of the failure to acclimatize them.

EDENTON STATION, NORTH CAROLINA (S. G. WORTH, SUPERINTENDENT).

Mr. 8. G. Worth was appointed superintendent on July 1 and took
charge of the station on the 14th, relieving Mr. G. A. Schneider, who
had been directing the work of construction.

Notwithstanding the incomplete condition of the station, steps were
taken early in March to organize a force for the collection and hatch-
ing of shad eggs. There were no trained spawn-takers available in
the vicinity, as the fish-cultural work in recent years has been con-
ducted by the steamer Fish Hawk; consequently it became necessary
to transfer a few from Havre de Grace and Washington to be used as
a nucleus in training new men. In addition to other drawbacks the

season proved two or three weeks later than usual, the weather being
very unfavorable, and though all the seines, nets, and traps within a
radius of 10 to 15 miles were visited daily the new men had little
chance to gain experience, and as a consequence became despondent.
When the water attained the right temperature forthe shad to spawn
they came on so suddenly that the apprentices were helpless, having
had no opportunity of acquainting themselves with the work. Toward
the end they became efficient and sufficiently interested to insure
their being reliable spawn-takers in the future, but many eggs were
lost in the meantime. Work was pushed vigorously, however, night
and day, so that we succeeded in enlisting the sympathy and active
cooperation not only of fishermen operating on well-known spawning-
grounds, but new fields were developed in the Roanoke River and at
Skinner Point, several miles east of Edenton.

The grounds on the Roanoke are virtually confined to the drift gill- -
netters, who operate very short nets, but they catch ripe shad and in
such a way that all of the eggs can be saved. It required unremitting
personal effort to enlist their interest, but another year will find them
anxious to Save the eggs. Their nets were operated mainly within 3
miles of the river mouth, making them easy of attendance and much
more profitable than the seines on the upper river, which capture —
large numbers of fish but furnish very few eggs. It has also been
found that numbers of eggs can eventually be secured from trap nets.
A number of ripe fish were reported from Mackayes Ferry, but owing
to lack of experienced men the nets there could not be attended.

In the shallow waters around the mouth of the Roanoke and Cashie
rivers the cooperation of the stake-net gillers was secured and a few
eges obtained. An excellent spawning-ground was developed at
Hornblower or Skinner Point, 4 miles below Edenton, one trap net
yielding over 800,000 eggs. There is no doubt that this will prove a
valuable field next season, but the most important spawning-grounds
in the vicinity are on the Chowan River. Unfortunately, no gill-net -
fishing is done here, but the four seines operated will undoubtedly
yield large numbers of eggs. It is also hoped that additional eggs
will be received from the traps, large numbers of which are fished on
the river. The area covered embraces about 86 square miles, and it
is urged that a first-class steamer, capable of running in all kinds of
weather, be provided as a part of the permanent equipment of the
station. A second boat should also be available for a month or six
weeks during the season.

The collecting season lasted from April 25 to May 10, and the
6,590,000 fry hatched were distributed by May 15 in the Albemarle
Sound and tributaries. The loss during incubation was 3,814,000, or
about 36 per cent. In view of the fact that there were only four
trained spawn-takers available for work, and of the incomplete con-
dition of the station, the results are considered very satisfactory.
Moreover, there is no question as to the entire suitability of the water
of Pembroke Creek for hatching purposes; the only possible objection
that could be made to it is that it is rather warm, making it risky
to hold the fry, but this is unnecessary, and it need not be considered
an adverse factor. The water was clear throughout the season,
without a trace of sediment.

ERWIN STATION, TENNESSEE (ALEXANDER JONES, SUPERINTENDENT).

On July 3 Mr. 8. G. Worth was transferred to Edenton, N. C., as
superintendent, and Mr. Alexander Jones was appointed in his place,
with Mr. J. E. Guard as fish-culturist. During the summer the bal-
ance of the special appropriation was expended in the erection of a
five-room cottage on the northwest corner of the reservation for the
occupancy of the fish-culturist, and other minor improvements were
undertaken, the most important of which was the laying of a 12-inch
terra-cotta pipe in the south berm ditch to carry off the waste water
from the depression at the back of the residence. This added materi-
ally to the effectiveness of the station and improved its appearance.

At the beginning of the year there were on hand the following fish:

These were kept in troughs and ponds during the summer as usual

and fed on ground beef-liver and mush made from wheat shorts;
herring roe being also used for feeding the fry. The rainbows.-are
especially fond of this, taking it greedily from the beginning, but the
brook trout do not seem to relish it, preferring the beef-liver.
In August the distribution of rainbow trout commenced and was
continued until the 9th of December, 43,110 in all beingshipped. Of
the brook trout on hand at the beginning of tne year 31,126 were
available for distribution. These were shipped to applicants in Vir-
-ginia and Tennessee. From the beginning of July to the time of
distribution the death-rate was exceedingly heavy, both in ponds and
troughs; a great portion of the loss was due to popping of the eyes,
though snakes and frogs destroyed quite a number of the fry.

The brook trout spawned from October 27 to December 16, yield-
ing 79,100 eggs. As these fish refused to ascend the raceway it was

60 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

necessary to resort to seining to secure their eggs. At first this was
done once a day and later twice a day as Jong as it was necessary.
Of the eggs collected 48,000 were hatched, but most of them were
affected during the embryo stage and developed white spots on the sae.
The death-rate became heavier daily, and it was deemed advisable to
plant the remainder at once. Accordingly 9,380 were deposited in
streams in the vicinity of the station.

On the 6th of February 145,000 brook-trout eggs were received from
Mr. L. B. Handy, of Massachusetts, but they were in very bad condi-
tion on arrival, many having hatched in transit, and proved a total
loss. On account of the poor success attained with brook trout at
this station it has been determined to abandon that work entirely,
and the adult fish on hand have been turned over to Mr. B. F. O’Bryant,
county fish commissioner, for stocking streams in this county.

The spawning season of the rainbow trout extended from October
25 to January 27, and resulted in the collection of 110,800 eggs from
the 3-year-old fish and 30,000 from the 2-year-olds. In addition to these,
238,000 were received from Wytheville and 34,600 from Neosho. The
eggs taken at the station yielded 53,570 fry, those from Wytheville
216,137, and from Neosho, 25,912, giving a total of 296,137. At the
close of the season there were 130,560 on hand. ‘They were held in
troughs in the hatchery until April, when most of them were trans-
ferred to the small ponds. ;

During the fall 15 black bass were purchased and placed in ponds at
the station; 9 of them died during the winter; the other 6, 3 of which
were females, accepted the artificial nests that had been prepared in
pond 31, and about May 20 deposited their eggs, which produced about
25,000 fry. These are on hand at the close of the year. As soon as
the schools began to break up the parent fish were removed from the
pond, as this was better than to remove the fry. :

Natural enemies, such as predatory birds, muskrats, frogs, ete., are
very abundant. Those killed during the year comprised 115 snakes, .
25 muskrats, 4 Indian hens, 3 wild ducks, 30 kingfishers, 1 osprey, 2
minks. Snakes and frogs are regarded as the most destructive. One
of the snakes had 24 young fish in its stomach.

PuT-In Bay STATION, OHIO (J. J. STRANAHAN, SUPERINTENDENT).

During the summer a new storehouse, 20 by 30 feet and 14 feet high,
was built at an expense of $331. Thesteamer Shearwater, which had
been in use for a number of years, was thoroughly repaired, so that
it is now in serviceable condition and will last for several years. The
10-inch suction pipe running into the lake to the westward of the sta-
tion, which had been carried away by ice in 1899, was replaced by the
station force at an expense of less than $100. The lowest bid received
for the performance of this work by contract was $750.

The white-fish season opened unfavorably and was peculiar in
certain important particulars; the temperature of the water during

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 61

November was very warm, closing at 44°, the lowest point reached
during the month. The season was consequently very late and short,
lasting only about fifteen days, the first eggs being taken from the
nets on November 17 and the last on the 30th. It was also remarkable
from the fact that not a single gale or storm occurred during the
month to interfere with operations.

-The methods followed were the same as heretofore; that is, in addi-
tion to the eggs collected directly from fish caught in pounds and gill
nets, a large number were penned at Put-in Bay and Monroe Piers,
Michigan. From the pound and gill nets 94,843,000 eggs were secured,
54,639,000 from fish penned at Put-in Bay, and 86,688,000 from those
at Monroe Piers. ‘The difference in the expense of collecting at the
various points and by the various methods was as follows: Eggs fur-

‘nished by fishermen, 60 cents per quart; those collected at Put-in Bay,
58 cents; from Monroe Piers, 69 cents.

The loss of fish by disease in the live-boxes was very slight. Of
the 14,706 placed in the subnets and transferred to crates, 13,257
were returned to the fishermen, 233 died, and 1,216 escaped through
accidents which could not be foreseen. The total number of females
stripped from the pens was 4,432. The average yield of eggs at
Put-in Bay was 36,547 per fish, and at Monroe Pier 23,387. The total
cost of collection at both points was $3,995.

Of eggs collected at Monroe Piers 35,000,000 were shipped to Cape
Vincent and 21,000,000 to Duluth. The balance were transferred to
the Put-in Bay hatchery and later in the season 5,832,000 were assigned
to the Pennsylvania Commission and shipped to their Erie station;
10,000,000 were also assigned to the New York Fish Commission.
The remainder were hatched, and produced 109,890,000 fry, which
were planted in April on the spawning-grounds in Lake Erie.

During the winter a series of experiments was carried on with the

. view to determining whether fertilization takes place when the eggs

‘and milt are brought together without the admixture of water. On
three successive days, December 17, 18, and 19, several lots of eggs
and milt were so held, great care being exercised to prevent the admix-
ture of any water. They were kept twenty-four hours in corked glass
jars submerged in running water, and at the end of this period lots of
100 éach were examined separately under the microscope. ‘The first
series showed an average of 16 per cent where the second cleavage was
complete. About one-third of the rest were in all stages of develop-
ment, from those where the disk was forming to those where the second
cleavage was well under way. After these eggs had been twenty-four
hours longer in running water, about half of them showed the second
cleavage complete, and the rest were more or less advanced in devel-
opment. The temperature of the water while the experiments were
being made was from 36° to 37°.

A series of experiments was also conducted to discover, if possible,
‘he causes of monster embryos in fish eggs, especially those partaking

of the twin character or having more than the normal number of
organs. It is conceded that monsters can be produced in the eggs of
chickens by injury to the eggs at a certain critical period, but it is
held by some embryologists that they are also likely to be produced by
more than one spermatozoon entering the egg through the micropyle
at a time when sufficient water has entered the egg through its mem-
branes to lift them from the disk. :

The first experiments were with the view to producing monsters
by injury to the egg. For this purpose a half ounce of eggs from a
given lot was placed in a strong 4-ounce glass jar, which was then
half filled with water and securely corked. It was then dropped ten
times into a wooden pail, half filled with water, from a height of 4
feet, striking the bottom of the pail with considerable violence. Nine
lots were subjected to this treatment, commencing with the first lot
half an hour after impregnation, the second lot an hour later, and from
then once an hour until they had all been handled. After the eggs
had been forty-eight hours in running water, 100 of each of the nine
lots were examined under the microscope, and only one twin disk was
found, and that not well defined, showing that injury had not caused
the monstrosity to any extent. The experiment resulted, however, in
what to the writer was a most startling discovery. Five lots of 100
each, taken from the same lot from which eggs for the experiments had
been procured, showed but 3.4 per cent unimpregnated eggs and but
few ruptured yolks, while those subjected to the injury process showed
large numbers that appeared unimpregnated, the disk being hemi-
spherical, semitransparent, amber-colored, and devoid of all appear-
ance of segmentation. It is certain that all of these eggs were dead.

The following table shows the number appearing normal, number
with ruptured yolks, and number having the appearance of being
unimpregnated:

One twin dise was also found among the five lots of eggs which had
not been submitted to the injuring process. In another experiment
eight lots of eggs were given ten shakes each with as uniform force
as possible with the right arm. The results were substantially the
same as in the above, with the exception that there were more ruptured
yolks than in the former case. There is obviously but one conclusion
to be drawn from these experiments, and that is that the larger portion
of the eggs which seemed under the microscope to be unimpregnated
were really fertilized, but that segmentation had been arrested as a
result of the injuries received. If this be true, it demonstrates that
in many instances where eggs have been thought to be unfertilized they

were impregnated, but segmentation had been stopped on account of
injury to the disc, and as this loss often runs up to one-third of the
whole number in the case of pike-perch eggs, it is apparent that much
care should be exercised in handling them up to the point where they
are fully cushioned with water. This view was fully sustained during
the season of 1899, in the case of several lots of eggs taken from the
boats of the fishermen in the immediate vicinity of the station and
manipulated with great care on the floor of the hatching-house. These
‘eggs, some twenty jars in all, yielded from 80 to 90 per cent of fry,
and were by far the best in the house.

Four lots of eggs were held for a short time in a weak solution of
common salt before applying the milt, it being maintained by some

_biologists that the brine would tend to weaken the resistive power of

the egg, and that therefore more than one spermatozoon might enter
the micropyle. One lot was held 3 minutes in a 23 per cent solution,
washed for 1 minute with several changes of water, the milt then
being applied. In the next lot a 5 per cent solution was used, the
eggs remaining in it for 3 minutes before washing, and with the next
two lots 24 and 5 per cent solutions were employed, the eggs remain-
ing therein for 4 minutes. Not a twin disc was found among 2,000
eggs so treated and examined.

It seems remarkable that this treatment did not appear to materially
injure the eggs. Only in the lots where they were held in the solu-
tion for a period of 4 minutes was there any perceptible difference,
the percentage of unfertile eggs being greater in these than in the lot
normally treated from which they were taken, but this was doubtless
owing to the length of time that elapsed between the taking and the
fertilizing of the eggs.

On the Ist of April Mr. Stranahan was appointed superintendent
of the Bullochville station, and pending the arrival of Mr. 8. W.
Downing, who had been appointed superintendent at Put-in Bay,

e- the pike-perch work was directed by the foreman, Mr. J. C. Fox.

The season was late. The ice did not disappear until the latter part
of March, and by the time the fishermen got their nets set a large
proportion of the fish had spawned. In fact, there was apparently no
run of spawning fish, only a few scattered ripe ones being found.

As the experiment of penning pike perch had been very unsatisfac-
tory the previous season, it was not attempted this year. The first
eges were received from the Port Clinton field on the 19th of April, and
the last from the same point on April 28. Spawn-takers were also
stationed at Monroe, Mich., Toledo, North Bass Island, and Put-in
Bay, the collections from all points aggregating 138,900,000 eggs.

_ These were of such poor quality that only 57,000,000 of them were eyed,

of which number 25,000,000 were transferred to the Michigan Fish
Commission, at Detroit. The balance were hatched and distributed,
20,500,000 being planted on the spawning-grounds in Lake Erie and
6,500,000 sent to applicants in Ohio and Indiana for inland lakes.

64 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

NORTHVILLE AND SUBSTATIONS IN MICHIGAN (F. N. CLARK IN CHARGE).

The results attained at Northville and auxiliary stations in Michi-
gan the past year have been most satisfactory, the output far exceed-
ing that of any previous year. The failure of the State legislature
to provide the necessary funds made it impossible for the Michigan
Commission to propagate any of the commercial fishes of the Great
Lakes; hence arrangements were made early in the year for the U. S.
Fish Commission to operate the Detroit white-fish hatchery, including
fishing rights on Belle and Grassy islands, and later on it was also’
decided to utilize the State hatchery at Sault Sainte Marie for hatch-
ing a part of the eggs collected at Detroit.

Under the provisions of the Milliken act, passed by the Michigan
legislature the previous year, the U. 8. Fish Commission was author-
ized to collect lake trout and white-fish during the close season, which
extends from November 1 to December15. Although fishermen from
all parts of the lakes applied to the agent of the Commission for per-
mission to fish during the close season, he determined, after careful
consideration, to confine lake-trout operations to three important
spawning-grounds in Lake Michigan—Charilevoix, Beaver Island, and
Manistique. It was feared that this decision would arouse the
enmity of influential fishermen in other sections of the State, but
the difficulty was overcome by a candid statement of the facts by the
superintendent, and the pleasant relations which have always existed
between the U. 8. Fish Commission and the lake-trout fishermen of
Lakes Michigan and Huron still continue.

The agreement entered into With the fishermen provided that after
October 30 they should fish under the direction of the superintendent,
at such times and points as he might designate, they to pay the
expenses of the men and furnish tugs and fishing paraphernalia,
receiving all of the fish taken, while the Commission was to have the
eggs free of expense. About the middle of October, Mr. B. G. Fil-
kins proceeded to Charlevoix and arranged with the fishermen for.
fishing and spawning operations at that point. After getting every-
thing in satisfactory condition there, the work was left in charge of
Mr. R. K. Robinson, and Mr. Filkins went to Beaver Island to make
similar preparations. The fish at the latter point commenced spawn-
ing on October 24, but only 10 gallons of eggs were taken during the
balance of that month. The fishing was continued until November
10, and resulted in the collection of over 7,000,000 eggs. Of the total
number secured here only about 700,000, or 10 per cent, were taken
during the open season; consequently the work would have been a
failure had operations ceased on October 31.

At Charlevoix the fish were very late in making their appearance
on the spawning-grounds and no eggs were collected until after Novem-
ber 1. From that time to the 8th, 1,842,000 were obtained, and on
that date Mr. Robinson was directed to discontinue fishing in view of
the fact that large numbers of eggs-were being taken at other points.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 65

Mr. George Platts, who has been in the employ of the Commission
for a number of years, was placed in charge at Manistique, and as the
fish had been observed to spawn there in the past much earlier than

_ at any other point in Lake Huron or Lake Michigan, it was supposed
large numbers could be collected during the open season, but none
were taken until October 26. From that time to November 10, when
work was discontinued, over 6,000,000 were secured.

As the result of operating at these three points 15,250,000 lake-trout
eggs were obtained and shipped to Northville, packed as usual on
eanton-flannel trays, the first shipment reaching the station on
November 2 and the last November 13. From Northville 1,500,000
were transferred to the State Fish Commission, 1,000,000 were sent

_to Alpena, and 4,117,000 were consigned to other stations of the

Commission, State fish commissions, and private applicants, leaving
8,633,000 to be hatched. These produced about 7,000,000 fry, 6,535,000
of which were planted in Michigan waters in February, March, and
April. The balance were retained and at the close of the year they
number about 145,000. They are between 2 and 3 inches long and
are apparently healthy and strong.

Although the hatchery was overcrowded with eggs, no heavy losses
occurred from disease or other causes. On December 21, the creek
water ceased to flow about 5 o’clock in the morning, but the incident
was promptly discovered by the watchman and the spring water
turned on. There were a great many eggs in the house at the time,
and but for his prompt action heavy losses would have ensued.

The wisdom of limiting the work to the three points mentioned was
clearly demonstrated by the results, the eggs being collected and deliv-
ered at-Northville for less than $700, or about 5 cents per 1,000.

To guard against all of the eggs hatching at once and overcrowding
the hatchery, the development of a part of them was retarded by the
use of creek water, which is colder than that from the spring, the

- ereek water at this time averaging about 35° and the spring water 45°.
In this way the distribution was extended from the middle of Febru-
ary until April, whereas had the warmer water been used they would
all have come out at the same time, and it would have been impossible
to have handled them. The first eggs hatched on January 17 and the
last on March 8, a difference of fifty-one days.

At the beginning of the year there were 90,000 lake-trout fry on
hand; when distributed in August they numbered 88,000, and ranged
from 34 to 44 inches in length.

On July 1, 1899, there were on hand at Northville 31,493 brook trout.
These were held in-ponds which had been lined with stone cement, but
they commenced dying in July, though special attention had been
given them and the ponds had been kept perfectly clean and were
exposed to the sun and air before they were introduced. On August
7, when the distribution commenced, there were only 8,000 fingerlings,

F. C., 1900-5

1,100 two year olds, and 154 two and three year olds. These were
distributed in New York with the exception of the 154, which were
liberated in Sturgeon River, Michigan. In the winter 368,710 brook-
trout eggs were purchased from one of the commercial hatcheries
in Massachusetts. On their arrival at the station 9,675 were dead.
The balance hatched in March, producing 333,518 fry, or 93 per cent
of the good eggs received. They were hatched in spring water between
March 7 and 28, and the fry commenced feeding April 10. Half of
them were fed on beef liver and the remainder on carp. Those fed
on the liver were in better condition at the close of the year than the
others, being larger and healthier, though it seemed at first that the
carp-fed fry would be superior. The poor results attained with the
latter are attributed to the fact that the use of carp as food pollutes
the water, discoloring it and leaving an oily scum on the surface.
This difficulty is not encountered to any extent in using liver.

On April 12 the distribution of the fry was commenced, and by the
25th of May 257,500 had been liberated.

For purposes of experiment 1,000 grayling fry were held over from
the hatch of the previous year and fed on finely pulverized liver, the
size of the pieces increasing with the growth of the fish. On July 31
the largest of them were an inch long and by the end of August 14
inches. In September, when they were counted and transferred from
the troughs to Pond Q, they numbered 585. They grew slowly during
the winter, but increased in size very perceptibly during the spring
months, and at the close of the year the remaining 300 measured from
34 to 7 inches in length. On the 11th of June 70,000 eggs arrived
from Bozeman. The temperature at the top of the case on arrival |
was 52°, but in the center it registered 47°. The eggs showed evi-
dence of great care in packing, and about 25 pounds of ice remained
in the case. They measured 810 to the fluid ounce. The hatching
was done on trout trays with spring water, the first fry appearing on
June 13 and the last on the 23d. When first hatched the fry lay on the
bottom from two to four days, until the sac was absorbed. They then
rose to the surface and appeared to be vigorous and active. From the
70,000 eggs received 56,000 fry were planted in the various branches
of the Rifle River, Pere Marquette River, and Baldwin Creek.

During February 13,650 rainbow-trout eggs arrived from Man-
chester in very bad condition, and though they yielded 12,860 fry they
were so weak that 7,000 of them died before the absorption of the sac.
The 385 rainbow trout hatched at the station several years ago were
given to private applicants in August, it having been decided to dis-
continue the rearing of these fish at Northville.

Of the 3-year-old Loch Leven trout, 195 females spawned in Novem-
ber and December, which is much later than usual. The older fish
also produced a few eggs, but they were of no value, 50,950 being
secured from the entire stock. When they were sufficiently developed
for shipment, 20,000 were sent to the New Hampshire Commission and

REPORT .OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 67

6,000 to Prof. W. A. Locy of the Northwestern University, Evanston,
Til., for experimental work. The balance were hatched in February,
and after being fed for several weeks 8,000 of the fry were distributed,
and there remained on hand at the close of the year 8,590.

Of the 5,000 steelheads on hand from the hatch of June, 1899, 4,500
were planted in September in Baldwin Creek. In May, 1900, the
2-year-old steelheads numbered 1,633 and the 3-year-olds 469. These
fish showed no signs of spawning.

The hatchery at Detroit, which was turned over to the Fish Com-

mission, is located in the center of the city and is a frame structure
80 feet long by 40 feet wide, with a wing 48 by 36 feet. The build-
ing belongs to the Michigan Fish Commission, and the grounds on
which it is located to the estate of John Pridgeon, the rental being
$425 per annum. The hatchery is equipped with 1,000 Chase jars,
which have a capacity for about 162,000,000 eggs, estimating 162,000
per jar. The water, which is well adapted for this work, is furnished
by the Detroit Board of Water Commissioners, at the rate of 14 cents
per 1,000 gallons. Its average temperature in March was 33°, and in
_Aprilit ranged from 33° to 50°, reaching that point on the day the
hatching was completed.
The three fisheries included in the transfer are the East Point,
Willis Ground, and Grassy Island, the two former being located on
Belle Island, and the other on an island about 8 miles southwest of
Detroit in the Detroit River. Atthe time of the transfer the hatchery
was in only fair condition, as new sills had to be put in two sides of
the building, the floor needed repairing, and the tanks painting.

To simplify the work arrangements were made with the Wolverine
Fish Company, of Detroit, to operate the fisheries and to receive as
compensation the fish captured after the eggs had been stripped and
_ turned over to the Commission. Fishing commenced in October and
- continued to December 20, resulting in the capture of 33,112 white-fish.
Of these 6,046 undersized ones were liberated, and the balance were
held in live-cars until ripe. The apparatus used at all of the fishing-
grounds was the ordinary haul seine, operated by means of capstans
and horsepower. Fishing was conducted night and day by separate
crews, and the catch was unprecedented, the most successful work
ever recorded before only aggregating about 14,000, less than half the
number captured this year. This is believed to be attributable to the
large plants of white-fish fry made in past years by the National
_and State Fish Commissions in Lake Erie and the Detroit River.

The fish caught at East Point were transferred to the Willis Ground
fishery, where the live-boxes and ponds were established. The live-
car was a boat about 14 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 14 inches deep,
pointed at both ends, with slats on the bottom running lengthwise.
Two water-tight bulkheads were fitted in either end to keep the water
from rushing through and crowding the fish into the rear end and
smothering them. One of these boats can safely carry 200 fish from

68 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

2} to 3 pounds in weight, and as many as 270 have been brought down
on one trip. At first only 100 were placed in the boat, but on arrival
at destination many of them were found to be badly bruised, and after
that they were packed in tightly, so that they would be unable to
move around and injure themselves. The experiment was successful,
and thereafter all fish were transferred packed in as closely as possible.

Owing to the warm weather a great many of the females became
plugged early in November, 105 being removed atone time. This

condition was believed to be also due to some extent to their confine- —

ment in the crates. A pond, 16 feet by 40 feet, was therefore con-
structed in water 3 feet deep, by sharpening 6-inch boards and driving
them into the river bottom, which was covered with 3 inches of soft
mud, with gravel underneath. In this inclosure 2,200 male and

female white-fish were placed, and at the end of 3 days it was noticed —

that they had whipped off all the mud, the gravel being plainly in

sight. Commencing a week later, all of the females except 173 were ~

stripped, and only 10 plugged fish were found. The 173 were trans-
ferred toa crate, and though apparently in perfect health, in less
than a week half of them were plugged. It would thus appear that
it is better to hold the fish in ponds constructed in the river, though
at Grassy Island the percentage of plugged females was less than at
Willis Ground, although the fish were held altogether in crates. The

process followed in stripping the eggs was practically the same as ©

in past years, all of the fertilizing being done by the dry method,
though the milt was taken before the eggs.
Fishing commenced at Grassy Island on October 7 and closed the

3d of December, 4,563 male and 5,870 female fish being taken. The —
spawning season here lasted until the 19th of December, 4,460 of the ©

females crated, or about 76 per cent, yielding 108,288,000 eggs.

At the other two points fishing commenced on October 23 and con- —
tinued to the end of November, resulting in the capture of 7,323 —
females and 9,310 males. 4,905 females yielded 137,952,000 eggs, an

average of 28,124 per fish.

All of the eggs collected were transferred promptly to the Detroit —
hatchery; where they were either placed in jars or reshipped to other
stations. During the season 2,508 hauls of the seine were made. The

average number of white-fish taken per haul (including also immature
specimens) was 13, the catch of mature white-fish per haul averaging 11.
The total number of eggs collected was 246,240,000, of which

48,020,000 were transferred to the Alpena hatchery, 40,732,000 to the —

Sault Ste. Marie, 22,220,000 to Duluth, and 2,379,000 to other stations

and private applicants. The balance were hatched at Detroit and —

distributed in April, by tugboats, in the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair,
and Lake Michigan, near Frankfort, Charlevoix, and Beaver Island,
most of them being liberated in Detroit River and Lake St. Clair.

As the Detroit hatchery was overcrowded, the Alpena station was

a nem ca

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 69

opened on November 27, on which date 47,520,000 white-fish eggs were
received. Later on 500,000 more were transferred. The eggs were
hatched in the Chase and the McDonald jars and produced 36,500,000
ry, or about 76 per cent of the number of eggs handled. These eggs
2 green, having been transferred direct from the seining-grounds,
co. mnsequently the percentage hatched was better than would at first
am. In April the fry were distributed by tugboats in Lake Huron
* tributaries, inside a radius of 50 miles from the station.
_ The water supply for the Alpena station is pumped from Thunder
Bay and is quite clear and pure. When the eggs were first received
its temperature was 42°, but by December 13 it had fallen to 34°,
where it remained until February, when it registered 33°. In March
it ranged from 33° to 35°, and in April averaged 41°.
_ On February 15th 1,000,000 eyed lake-trout eggs were transferred
from the Northville hatchery. They hatched with practically no loss
and all of the fry were planted in Lake Huron during April, with the
exception of 100,000 deposited in Beaver Lake. The plants were
made with tugboats loaned by the fishermen.
_ To further relieve the Detroit hatchery it was arranged to transfer a
part of the eggs to the State hatchery at Sault Ste. Marie, and 40,732,000
were sent to that point in December, January, and March. In De-
cember the water was cut off from the hatchery for 114 hours by
the formation of anchor ice and the freezing of the wheels belonging
to the electric power company. The eggs were at once placed on
flannel trays and the temperature kept down to 34°. No further
trouble was experienced, but it is probable that the eggs then in the
hatchery were slightly damaged by this aecident. The temperature
of the water reached 32° by December 24 and remained at 32° until
April 13, when it ranged from 33° to 43° until May 1, when the last
of the fry were planted. From the eggs transferred 25,000,000 fry
were hatched, 10,000,000 being planted in Lake Huron, off Detour, and
15,000,000 in Lake Superior and tributaries.
The Commission is indebted to A. Booth & Co. for transferring fry
without expense; also to fishermen at Detour for similar courtesies.
The work at this point was under the immediate direction of H. H.
Marks, of the Michigan Commission. At the close of the season the
hatchery was cleaned up and turned over to the State Fish Commission.

DULUTH STATION, MINNESOTA (S. P. WIRES, SUPERINTENDENT),

In the summer arrangements were made for collecting lake trout
and white-fish in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Ontario; Grand Portage,
Minn., and at Isle Royale, Ontonagon, Houghton, Keystone, and
Montreal River, Michigan. Lake trout commenced spawning in the
vicinity of Port Arthur and Isle Royale about September 20 and in
Michigan during October. The collections were unusually large, and
could have been greatly increased had it not become necessary to
discontinue fishing in compliance with the closed-season laws of
Michigan and Canada. The total collections aggregated 12,400,000,
as follows: Rossport and Port Arthur, Ontario, 4,177,000; Houghton,
Keystone, and Montreal River, Michigan, 2,076,000; vicinity of Isle

Royale, Michigan, 3,758,000; vicinity of Ontonagon, 2,100,000; Grand —

Pertage, Minn., 289,000. During January and March 1,550,000 eyed
eggs were shipped to the commissioners of New York, Utah, and Wyo-
ming, and 300,000 transferred to Nashua station; from the balance

9,047,000 fry were hatched and planted during April, May, and June. ;

The total loss of eggs and fry during the season was 1,503,000.

As white-fish had just commenced spawning in the vicinity of Ross-
port and Port Arthur when the closed-season law took effect, only
200,000 eggs were collected, but in December 44,222,000 were trans-
ferred from Put-in Bay and Detroit. The Michigan eggs arrived in
very poor condition, and the losses among them were very heavy. In
April and May 20,000,000 white-fish fry were liberated.

At the beginning of the fiscal year there were 14,000 grayling fry on
hand. These were planted in August in Baptism River, Minnesota.
On the 12th of the following May 72,000 grayling eggs arrived in

excellent condition from Bozeman; they were placed in McDonald

hatching-jars, 36,000 to the jar, and sufficient water was turned on to
give them a gentle motion. They commenced hatching on the 19th
and finished in four days. As the current of water in the jar was
not strong enough to carry the fry out, they were permitted to remain
in the jars until all of them had been hatched, when they were trans-
ferred to an ordinary trout trough 143 feet long, 10 inches deep, and

2 feet wide, well supplied with fresh water. They remained on the ~

bottom of the trough, acting very much like lake or brook trout, for
from 36 to 40 hours, after which they began swimming near the surface

and commenced feeding. Beef liver chopped very fine and strained
through a cheese-cloth bag was given them four times a day. The
fry appeared healthy until May 29, when they commenced to drop
back in the troughs in an exhausted condition and died rapidly. This
was due to the rapid rise in the temperature of the water, which
varied from 60° to 72°. Had they been a week or ten days older

- when the warm weather commenced it would not have affected them

seriously, as grayling fry were held the previous summer in warmer
water without loss. Plants aggregating 34,000 were made during the
spring in suitable waters in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

All of the steelhead trout on hand at the beginning of the year were
planted in July in streams in Minnesota and Michigan. On the 17th

of May 100,000 eggs arrived from Clackamas, Oreg., in fine condition.

These commenced to hatch on the 28th, and by June 5 a large propor-
tion were feeding; by the 10th all of them were taking food nicely.
To all appearances the steelhead trout are exceptionally hardy and
grow rapidly at this station, and, judging from reports received from
streams already stocked, are well adapted for the waters of Minnesota.
During the year 148,500 were planted in waters in Minnesota, Michigan,
and Wisconsin. |

The 100,000 brook-trout eggs received from Colorado in March were

gz hatched late in April and retained in troughs and fed until June, when

91,000 were planted, the total loss of eggs and fry being less than
9,000. At this station brook-trout fry are brined once a week from
the time the sac is about one-fourth absorbed until they are distributed.

QuINCY STATION, ILLINOIS (S. P. BARTLETT, SUPERINTENDENT).

The season opened very favorably, young bass being plentiful all
along the shores, though the water was too high to work the over-
flows and ponds. When it receded it was found that the weeds and
grass had grown so rapidly that it would be impossible to collect from

- some ponds which had heretofore yielded large numbers. The bass

handled during the summer were much larger than usual, the bulk of
them having been hatched the previous year. A large number of
adults were captured and shipped.

' Crappie were very abundant, but owing to the difficulty in trans-
porting these fish from the fishing-grounds to the station only a
limited number were handled until fall. The catch of all kinds of
fishes in the river has been larger than for many years, especially of
the commoner species, hundreds of thousands of which are saved
annually by the Commission.

As a result of the season’s work 36,248 yearlings and adult bass
were distributed, 9,260 crappie, 2,100 sun-fish, and 22 warmouth bass,
besides 4,480 rock bass transferred from Neosho.

The station was reopened in June, 1900, and many thousands of
young fish captured, and by the close of the year there were over
18,000 on hand for distribution.

72 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.
MANCHESTER STATION, Iowa (R. S. JOHNSON, SUPERINTENDENT).

The construction work in progress at the close of the year was com-
pleted during the summer and a considerable number of improvements
were made by the station force, the most important being the con-
struction of a frame building, 14 by 21 feet, to be used as a fuel-shed
and store-room. The roadways around the 80-foot ponds were graded
and graveled, and the land behind the stone protection-wall from the
upper spring reservoir was filled in and graded; the walls of the
kitchen, mess-house, boiler-house, office, reception-hall, and stairway
in the hatchery building were given a coat of paint, and all of the
hatching apparatus was thoroughly overhauled and repaired; the
rearing-ponds, which were damaged by frost during the winter, were
torn out and rebuilt, and considerable repairing was done to the stone
protection-wall and dam, which had been injured by the ice-gorge.

Fish-cultural operations were conducted on the same lines as in the
previous year, ponds Y, Z, and V being used for the propagation of
large-mouth black bass and rock bass. The propagation of crappie
was abandoned, as they do not do well at the station, and it is possible
to collect large numbers at small expense from overflowed lands at
the substation at Bellevue.

In the summer and fall of 1899 a very peculiar disease appeared _

among the adult and 2-year-old brook trout in the 80-foot ponds,
which resulted in the almost total loss of the younger fish and a large
number of the adults. It first appeared among a lot of 2-year-old
fish during the summer and gradually spread until late in the fall,
the greatest loss occurring just before and during the spawning sea-
son. The symptoms varied greatly, some of the fish being attacked
with inflammation of the gills, some with a slimy skin disease, some
with tumorous sores, while many died without any outward sign to
indicate the trouble. The majority that died, though, were affected
‘with the sores, which seemed to originate from some internal cause,

first appearing as a knotty substance under the skin and gradually

enlarging and breaking out in a running sore. The sores were not
confined to any particular part of the fish, but were distributed over
the entire body, sometimes appearing on the head and back, and at
other times on the abdomen and tail. The development of the disease
was rapid, death taking place two or three days after it appeared.
When the epidemic began every effort was made to check it by the
liberal use of salt and clay baths, a change of food, and the trans-
ferring of the diseased fish to isolated ponds, but all remedies proved
unavailing, and it continued until all the brook trout at the station
were more or less affected.

It is questionable whether the disease was infectious, for, while it
spread to all of the ponds, they all have independent water supplies
and drains, none of the water being used more than once. In addi-
tion to this, the rainbow trout, confined in the same kind of ponds

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 73

and fed on the same food and under the same conditions, were not
diseased in any way. The superintendent is unable to account for
its appearance. The ponds used were 80 feet long, perfectly new,
and, so far as known, the water supply is absolutely pure. Asa result

of this epidemic 457 adults and 4,450 2-year-old fish were lost. It
appeared again during the spring of 1900 and caused the loss of 3,470
yearlings that were held for brood stock.

At the beginning of the year there were on hand 63,000 fry hatched
the previous spring. Of these, 55,565 were distributed to applicants
and planted in public waters during the fall, and 5,270 were held for

_ yvearing, the loss during the summer amounting to 2,165.
| The stock of breeders at the commencement of the spawning season
__.consisted of 5,250 two-year-olds and 957 adults. The first eggs were
_ taken on November 8, and collections continued daily till January 15.
From the 1,331 ripe females, 513,080 eggs were secured, an average of
385 per fish. Of this number 348,930 fry, or about 80 per cent, were
hatched, and 75,000 eyed eggs were shipped to other stations. The fry
were of low vitality and died in great numbers during the sac stage,
only 55,800 healthy ones resulting from the season’s work. Of this
_ number, 25,000 were planted in public waters in the vicinity of the
_ station, and 30,800 are held for distribution in the fall.
_ ‘The stock of rainbow trout on July 1 consisted of 2,500 three-year-
olds, 4,200 two-year-olds, and 1,900 fry. The three-year-old fish com-
menced to spawn on December 30 and continued until March 24, only
_ 216 of them yielding eggs. These produced 132,225, of which 45,000
were shipped to other stations and 65,450 fry were hatched. Theeggs
appeared to be in good condition, the percentage of fertilization being 84,
but the fry, like those of the brook trout, were of low vitality, and only
15,500 healthy ones resulted. The two-year-old fish yielded no eggs.

On the ist of July 1,840 fry, hatched the previous winter, were on

hand. Of this number 1,700 were planted in the public waters in the
vicinity of the station during the fall, the loss during the summer
being 140. At the beginning of the year the brood stock consisted of
45 adult fish. The spawning season extended from November 18, to
December 6, resulting in the collection of 9,100 eggs. Eight thousand
of these eggs were hatched, but losses during the summer reduced the
number of fry to 3,000, which are now held at the station for distribu-
tion in the fall. }

The grayling resulting from eggs hatched in June, 1898, were kept
in ponds at the station with a loss of 626, leaving at the end of the
year 824 two-year-olds, which should produce eggs next season. On

the 12th of May 50,000 eggs were received from Montana in good con-
dition, the loss on arrival amounting to only 3,100 and subsequent
losses to 6,450. The fry hatched, numbering 40,450, were liberated
_ with the exception of 5,000, which will be held.

The breeding-ponds contained large numbers of young bass in June,
but during the next month natural food became so scarce that the

74 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

loss from cannibalism was large. Late in July the ponds were drawn
and the fry placed in troughs, where they were fed on live maggots.
Though large numbers of them* died on account of weakness and
insufficient nourishment while in the ponds, their improvement after
being transferred to the troughs was marked. As an article of food

the maggots proved far superior to anything ever used at this station. —

They remain alive a long time after being placed in the water, thereby
attracting the notice of the young bass, which snap them up greedily.
It is believed they will also prove a most economical food, as they
can be produced in large quantities from the refuse of livers, at little

eost. As a result of the work with this fish, 4,300 were distributed —

in the fall and 200 were held for brood stock.

The rock-bass work has not been as successful as was anticipated,
due to low temperature of water and lack of natural food in the ponds.
The construction of anew pond will permit the extension of this work,
and it is believed that large numbers can be reared in the future.

At the close of the year there were on hand the following fish:

Investigations made during the spring of 1899 indicated that large
numbers of fish could be collected in the vicinity of Bellevue, Iowa,
from the overflowed lands of the Mississippi River, as it is the center
of a vast territory extending on the Illinois side of the river from
Galena to a point 22 miles south, and on the Iowa side from Dubuque

to the mouth of the Maquoketa River. Bellevue was also selected on

account of the good railroad facilities and its excellent water supply.
The preparatory work of fitting up a small temporary station was
commenced on July 14 and completed on the 25th. The equipment
consisted of four wooden retaining-tanks, 12 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet,
set up on the levee in front of the city, the city council having granted
permission to use the ground free of charge. The tanks were sup-
plied with water from the city works through a half-inch galvanized-iron
pipe, under pressure of 100 pounds, and escaped into the tank through
a one-fourth-inch pet-cock, which reduced the volume but caused
it to flow into the tank with great force, taking with it large quantities
of air. The average number of gallons of water used in each tank
per day was 2,000. This water was furnished at a cost of 10 cents per
1,000 gallons. A light wooden frame was constructed above the
tanks, over which was stretched a canvas cover to protect the fish
from strong sunlight. The daily collections were held in these tanks

PE ee ee

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 15

-until ready to be distributed. In one tank 2,500 bass, from 2 to 5

inches long, were held for ten days without loss except by cannibalism,
and in the latter part of the season, when the weather was cool, 1,200
crappie, 3 inches long, were held in one tank for two weeks without
loss. The tanks were kept clean, the fish assorted according to size,
and no food given, and to this was attributed, to a great extent, the
success met with in holding them. Of the 95,260 placed in the tanks
during the season not over 100 were lost by fungus, and the loss from
cannibalism was very small.

A gasoline launch 26 feet long, 4 feet beam, with 3-horsepower
engine and twin screws, was purchased for $300 and used for towing
live-boxes and flatboats from the lakes to the retaining-tanks at
Bellevue. The live-boxes were 5 feet by 24 feet by 2 feet. There
was also a flatboat, with a capacity for carrying 15 round-shouldered
cans, which was used for transporting fish in rough weather when it
would have been impossible to tow the live-boxes.

The fish were captured by means of seines, which were operated
under the direction of Mr. Charles Hruby, assisted by five laborers.
Operations commenced on July 25 and continued to November 10,
during which time 95,260 black bass and 41,364 crappie were taken
from lakes and bayous in the vicinity of Bellevue, where they would
certainly have died, and were transferred by the cars to various parts
of the country.

While making the collections of bass and crappie for distribution
large numbers of fish, which it was impossible to hold, were liberated
in the Mississippi River. As it was impracticable to count these they
were handled in galvanized-iron bushel baskets, and on the counts of
individual baskets it was estimated that there were thus transferred
5,000 black bass, 100,000 crappie, 5,000 pike, 8,000 yellow perch,
50,000 bream, 4,000 cat-fish, 15,000 carp, and 20,000 buffalo—a total of
207,000. This represents a very small percentage of the fish in the
lakes and bayous in the vicinity of Bellevue that died when the
waters dried up. There is little doubt but that the number would
run up into the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

The total cost of operating this station for the season was $1,387.98
Of this amount $536.51 was used for the purchase of apparatus and
equipment, leaving the actual cost of collection a little over $851.47.

76 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

San Marcos Station, Texas (J. L. LEARY, SUPERINTENDENT).

During the summer a pond 1 acre in area was constructed on a tri-
angular space lying between the roadways and the circular ponds.
This was built particularly for the propagation of crappie, and receives
its water supply from the current wheel through a 6-inch pipe. Con-
crete walks were laid around the office and artesian well, the office and
buildings were painted, and 200 loads of gravel were procured for
improving the bottoms of the ponds.

The weather conditions during the year were very favorable for
work until January 15, when tremendous rainfalls commenced and
continued until the middle of April, causing floods in many parts of
the State and doing a great deal of damage. On April 7 the San
Marcos River overflowed its banks, flooding the entire pond system
supplied by the artesian well and causing the loss of all the black
bass that were ready for distribution and a large number of brood-
fish, besides destroying many nests of eggs by depositing on them a
heavy coat of sediment. Over 10,000 fry had been counted out into
one of the ponds for distribution, and it is estimated that the loss of
fish between 2 and 3 inches long was over 50,000. Fortunately the
overflow occurred during the day, and by stretching a seine across
Pond H as the water receded a part of the brood stock was saved.
The rainfall has been of decided advantage, though, in increasing the
water supply, the well now flowing 1,000 gallons per minute. The
winter was mild, the lowest temperature being 16° above zero on Feb-
ruary 18. June 22 was the hottest day of the year, the thermometer
registering 102 in the shade. The temperature of the water from the
well is stationary at 73° the year round. The average temperature in
the ponds is about 69°.

The methods employed in the propagation of black bass, crappie,
rock bass, and bream, were practically the same as in the past, the
increase in pond area permitting the utilization of additional ponds
for black bass, the most important fish handled at the station. The ~
spawning season began on February 2, seven days earlier than usual,
and it was noticed that more fish used gravel for their nests than
ever before. As the winter was mild the young fish grew rapidly and
were large enough to be distributed by April 1, but the work had to
be deferred until May on account of the freshet. As heretofore, the
young bass were transferred from brood-ponds to rearing-ponds when
from 1 to 14 inches in length, the seine used for the purpose being of
bobinet, 40 feet long, 5 feet deep, supplied with the usual float and
lead lines. As many as 2,500 were moved at one haul of the seine.

The method of feeding is the same as in the past, chopped fish
and crawfish being used to a great extent, in addition to live food.
The distribution was commenced as soon after the subsiding of the
water as possible, and resulted in the shipment of 110,455 bass, 5,690
rock bass, 3,195 crappie, and 300 bream, to applicants in Texas.

The calico bass, rock bass, crappie, and bream spawned as usual in

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 77

the spring, and though the brood stock was small, it is believed that
considerable numbers of young fish will be available for distribution
in the fall. The crappie have done particularly well, and the new
pond constructed for them promises to yield a large crop. In order to
keep the water of this pond stirred up 26 large carp have been kept in
it, as it has been found by experience that crappie do not thrive in clear
water at this station. Although much difficulty has been experienced
in distributing this fish during the warm months, 125 crappie over 2
inches in length were shipped late in June and were carried for 36
hours without any loss, though the air temperature on the trip was
over 100°. Ice was, of course, used for keeping the water cool.

Carp and mud shad are propagated for supplying live food for the
bass and crappie, and answer the purpose well. In one of the ponds
75 adult mud shad were introduced with the bass, and from this pond
27,000 young bass were taken. Occasionally a young mud shad was
captured with them, showing that the bass had eaten nearly allof them.

Salamander and shrimp continued to come up from the artesian
well until the overflow in April, but since that time none have been
seen. A female salamander which showed well-developed eggs was
kept in a can, to see if it would produce young. It seemed to do well
for 41 days, but then died without spawning. As heretofore, schools
of science have been furnished with salamander and shrimp.

Very few aquatic birds have been killed during the year, showing
that the warm weather carried them further south or that they are
becoming less numerous. Turtles and snakes, however, are on the
increase, but it is not believed that they are especially harmful to the
young fish, as an examination of their stomachs showed that they con-
sume large numbers of frogs and tadpoles, only a few fish being found.

NEOSHO STATION, Missourr (H. D. DEAN, SUPERINTENDENT).

The output of fish in the fall was not so large as that of the pre-
ceding year, but it is believed that the improvements now going on
will enable us to increase very materially the effectiveness of this
station in future. Of the rainbow trout on hand at the beginning of
the year, 57,525 were distributed during the fall, and 2,500 kept for
‘brood stock—94 per cent of the number on hand July 1. The fish
were held in ponds and troughs as heretofore, and fed on a mush
made of liver and shorts. The new ponds, Nos. 17 and 18, were used
for spawning and proved a great convenience, the only difficulty being
to give them a full supply of water when the small ponds were filled
with young trout. For this reason they could not be used until the
distribution was nearly over, it being December 7 before the fish were
assorted and placed in them. The spawning season extended from
December 13 to March 2, and though the brood-fish seemed to be in
fine condition, of the 397,649 eggs collected from the older fish only
212,616, or 53 per cent, were eyed. The 2-year-old fish produced
99,048, of which 49 per cent were eyed. Assignments amounting to

78 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

99,600 were shipped to private applicants and other stations, and the
balance were retained for hatching. The first of the fry made their
appearance on January 2, and although the eggs had apparently been
of poor quality, the fish were strong and healthy, and at the close of
the year there were 97,000 on hand. The eggs from the 2-year-old
trout were kept separate and hatched about the same percentage as
the others, the fry from them being as strong as those from the older
fish, and the losses among them no heavier.

There were no epidemics of any kind during the year and no losses
of old trout except in one instance, where 425 of the 2-year-old fish
were lost during the night. There is no accounting for this except
on the theory that the water supply was cut off in some way in the
night, though it was running in the morning:

The black-bass ponds were drawn as usual in J ay and the young
transferred to troughs and supplied with water from pond 5. The
loss during the summer was much larger than usual, and of the 15,145
placed in the troughs only 8,765, or about 58 per cent, remained in
the fall when the distribution was undertaken. In the spring the
brood-fish were again placed in ponds 4, 10, and 11, and though there
appear to be many young fish in them, no estimate can be made as to
the exact number. Several thousand, three-fourths of an inch long,
were taken from pond 11 and transferred to Nos. 9 and 16, where they
have grown rapidly. Observations this season seem to indicate that
there is a much longer period of time between the hatching of the
young bass and the absorption of the sac than has generally been
supposed. It is believed at this station that it does not disappear in
less than ten days and sometimes lasts two weeks.

One of the ponds which had been set aside for the rearing of straw-
berry bass was drawn on July 24 and 25, but owing to heat and the
difficulty encountered in handling the young fish it was decided, after
5,000 had been taken out, to allow the pond to fill and leave the bal-
ance of the fish until cooler weather. On September 11 it was again
drawn and 6,000 young transferred to the troughs. From all of the
ponds 17,279 were taken, but the fish were so frail and so hard to feed
that only 7,804 were distributed. It is noted that the young of this
Species are more liable to attacks of fungus than any of the other
basses. The breeders were placed in ponds 3 and 7, but it has been
impossible to make any observations of their spawning habits, owing
to the unusual roiliness of the water; but this feature is favorable to
the production of young, and it is thought there will be a good crop
when the ponds are drawn in the fall. It is believed that these fish
are very prolific and could be distributed in large quantities were it
possible to handle them in the summer like the other basses.

It had been determined not to draw down the ponds containing
the young rock bass until cool weather, but in order to supply appli-
cants from Quincy it became necessary during a very warm spell to
remove them from the pond. The results were very disappointing, as

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 79

only 12,582 were obtained as against 31,000 the previous year. From
one pond that had yielded 20,000 the preceding year only 90 young
fish were found. No explanation of this can be given unless it be
that they were smothered by conferve, which appeared in this pond
in large quantities during the season and entirely stopped the growth
of vegetation. Of the fish taken from the ponds 10,500, or 83 per cent,
were successfully distributed. From observations made it is obvious
that it takes fourteen days for the absorption of the sac—that is, two
weeks from hatching to scattering—with a daily water temperature
ranging from 62° to 75°.

_ Nearly 2,000 pounds of crawfish were removed from the ponds during
the year and fed to the bass. No special effort has been made to
--exterminate them, as it is thought their value as food for the fish
more than counterbalances the damage they cause to the pond banks,
ete., and with proper care in drawing the ponds it is not probable that
their presence is detrimental to the young fish.

LEADVILLE STATION, COLORADO (E. A. TULIAN, SUPERINTENDENT).

The brook trout on hand at the beginning of the year were kept in
troughs and ponds until August, when they were distributed, with a
loss of about 5,000, to applicants in Colorado.

Arrangements were made during the summer for the collection of
eggs on shares from various private lakes. The brood-fish at the sta-
tion commenced spawning early in October and continued until the

80 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The take of eggs was largely in excess of the previous year, but the
quality was exceedingly poor, the best being obtained at Uneva Lake,
where the loss was only 10 per cent. At Smith Lake, where 131,400
were taken, it reached 44 per cent, as against a loss of 28 per cent the
previous year. At Ridgeway the loss was 77} per cent; at Welling-
ton, 56 per cent; at Young’s, 42 per cent; at Decker’s, 80 per cent; at
Musgrove’s, 56 per cent, and at Derry’s, 543 per cent. This mortality
on brook-trout eggs was greater than has ever been experienced before
at the Leadville station, and is very discouraging, as the work was
earried on under the same conditions as heretofore, and all of the
eges were taken by the superintendent and foreman, the greatest care
being exercised in transferring them from the field stations to the
hatchery. It can only be attributed to the fact that about three-
fourths of the eggs were taken from young fish—as at Uneva Lake,
where the fish were 3 years old and over, the loss was light. At
all of the other points where collections were made the owners rear
fish for market and do not care to keep them longer than two years,
as they do not find a ready sale after that age.

During the winter 395,000 eyed eggs were shipped to other stations
and private applicants, all of them reaching destination in excellent
condition except one consignment to Bozeman. On May 1 there were
on hand 1,796,650 fry, of which 760,700 belonged to the Government

and the balance to the owners of the various lakes. The distribution —

of fry began on May 27 and by the end of June 233,000 had been
planted in Colorado waters.
The Loch Leven trout on hand July 1 consisted of 180 two-year-olds

and 300 fingerlings. The fingerlings all died during the year, and the

others were reduced to 120 by July 1, 1900. In November 6,100 Loch
Leven eggs were collected at Uneva Lake and produced 5,400 fry.
The rainbow-trout work was very unsatisfactory. Of the 18,000
fry hatched in July, 8,000 were turned over to the Lake Loveland
Company, and the fry resulting from the balance, together with those
derived from Twin Lakes and Sisson, California, were placed in
one of the ponds at the station, and on September 1 there were 32,000
fingerlings, but by the last of June 28,000 of them had been lost.
Arrangements were made in the winter for the collection of eggs from

fish belonging to Mr. R. M. Ridgway, at Salida, Colo., and from this —

source 54,500 were secured. The eye-spots appeared within 63 days,

and the fry commenced hatching in 97 days. These eggs were taken /
from fish 3 years of age, which had spawned for the first time this year, —
and though they appeared excellent when stripped the loss was very |

heavy, only 11,100 fry resulting from them.

In March 64,700 eggs were collected from Lake Loveland, but they —
were also poor. It is impossible to account for their condition unless ~

it was caused by the unusually warm and stagnant water in the lakes
the previous summer, and this theory seems untenable in view of the
fact that Mr. T. H. Johnson, State fish commissioner, captured a large

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 81

number of wild rainbow trout weighing from 2 to 10 pounds each
in the Gunnison River, and spawned them during April and May,
and fully one-half the eggs from them were bad when taken. As the
Gunnison is a cold, clear stream and quite rapid, the quality of the
eggs in this instance can not be attributed to the cause mentioned
above. If the eggs of other wild rainbow trout are found in this con-
dition, it would seem that there is a limit to the usefulness of that fish
in the waters of Colorado.

An effort was made in April to collect eggs from Stover Lake, about
50 miles north of Fort Collins, but when the ice melted all of the fish
were dead. Numbers of them were found floating in the water. One
lake near Fort Collins, which had been well stocked with black bass,

_-was practically stripped of fish, a hole 12 feet long and 5 feet deep

being found full of dead bass. The same condition was found to exist
in a number of other lakes in the vicinity, and it was thought the fish
had smothered under the ice. .

The lake trout on hand at the beginning of the year were carried
through the year with a loss of about 43 per cent. In December

_ 50,000 eyed eggs arrived from Northville in excellent condition, but the
_ fry were not strong. Tho loss during the hatching period was only

about 10 per cent, but since then the mortality has been very heavy.
During May 78,000 eyed grayling eggs arrived from Bozeman.
They hatched with a loss of 21,000, and the loss of fry to June 30 was

36,000, leaving on hand at the close of the year 21,000 fingerling fish.

A consignment of 50,000 steelhead eggs arrived from the Pacific ©
coast in May. They commenced hatching within five days, and fin-

_ ished with a loss of 300, or about 0.6 per cent. The loss of fry to

*July 1 amounted to 1,100.
From the 1,735,000 black-spotted trout eggs on hand in July 870,980
fry were hatched. The eggs collected at Grand Mesa Lake turned

_ out very badly, about 50 per cent being lost in incubation. This was

attributed principally to the fact that they were eyed at the lake on

trays with such large mesh that they were liable to fall through; con-

sequently it was necessary to cover the trays with mosquito netting,
which collected a great deal of sediment. The fry were carried to
October and distributed with a loss of about 50 per cent. Arrange-

_ ments were again made this year to collect eggs of the black-spotted

trout at Grand Mesa Lake, and by the close of the year 1,857,400 had
been collected at Grand Mesa Lake and 16,000 at Freeman Lake, or
a total to the close of the year of 1,873,400. These were at once trans-

ferred to the station, and appear to be of excellent quality.

SPEARFISH STATION, Soutu Daxora (D. C. BooTH,-SUPERINTENDENT).

On July 3 Mr. D. C. Booth was appointed superintendent of this
station, relieving Mr. H. H. Buck, who had directed the work of con-
struction. In addition to the superintendent, the personnel consists
of a fish-culturist and two laborers.

F. C., 1900—6

82 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The hatchery, which was completed on July 25, is a frame building
66 feet long by 33 feet wide, with a 17 by 17 foot transept for main
entrance. The first floor contains the hatching room (48 feet long by
32 feet wide), the boiler-room, reception-hall and office, and on the
second floor are two bedrooms. The whole building is fitted with hot-
water heating apparatus. The water supply is obtained from a series
of springs rising in Amos Canyon within the hatchery grounds, and is
conveyed by closed plank flumes, 700 feet long, to the hatchery..

During the summer various streams in the Black Hills, in South
Dakota and eastern Wyoming, were investigated by the superin-
tendent with the view to the establishment of auxiliary stations for
the collection of brook and Loch Leven trout eggs, but judging from
information so far gained it is believed the collections for a time will
be somewhat limited, though there are many streams in this region
which will eventually become productive if stocked with suitable fish.
A permit was obtained from the governor of South Dakota for seining
fish from Spearfish Creek, and within an area of 8 miles 900 brook
trout and 140 Loch Levens were secured and transferred to the station
ponds. Arrangements were also made with individuals to collect eggs
on shares from private ponds. A temporary retaining-pond was con-
structed on Sand Creek, about 7 miles from Beulah, Wyo., in the
Black Hills, and 3,000 adult trout, averaging 10 inches in length,
were collected. These commenced to spawn on November 15, and by ©
January 20 the 1,100 females had yielded 374,000 eggs.

From all sources in South Dakota and Wyoming 581,000 brook
trout and 41,500 Loch Leven trout eggs were obtained, and 100,000
brook-trout eggs were shipped from Leadville. Of those obtained-at —
Sand Creek 50,000 were sent to the Wyoming Fish Commission and
to an applicant in Idaho; the balance were hatched with compara-
tively light losses and yielded 300,000 fry, or 93 per cent of the eggs
reserved. Asa result of the season’s work; 579,568 brook-trout fry
were hatched, 85,145 were lost during the sac stage, 87,423 were
given to the owners of stock fish from private ponds, and 123,000 dis-
tributed, leaving on hand at the close of the year 284,000. A consign-
ment of 100,000 black-spotted trout eggs, shipped from the Leadville
station in July, hatched the following month with a loss of 18,240.
The fry were held in troughs at the station during the winter, but the
losses were very heavy, and when distributed in the spring only 20,260
of them remained; 15,000 of these were planted in May and June.

The superintendent made a trip through northern Wyoming in April
with the view to establishing an auxiliary station for the collection of
black-spotted trout eggs, and after several days of investigation along
the Big Horn Mountains, Tongue River was decided upon as the most
feasible field for operations. An egg-eying station was accordingly
erected near Dayton, Wyo., early in May, and by the close of the
year several hundred adults had been collected and a few thousand
eggs secured, but the outlook was very unfavorable on account of the

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 83

immense quantities of snow on the mountains, which not only retarded
the spawning season, but raised the streams to such an extent as to
practically stop work. Permission has been obtained from Mr. S. H.
Campbell, of the Wyoming Fish Commission, to operate next season
for brook trout in the vicinity of Laramie, where there are a number
of good streams.

The Loch Leven trout eggs collected during the fall hatched in the
spring with a loss of only 2,450. The owner of the pond was given
8,000, and at the close of the year there were 27,000 on hand.

BOZEMAN STATION, MonTANA (JAMES A. HENSHALL, SUPERINTENDENT). |

The freshet which occurred in June prevented the use of the creek
water for the grayling fry, and as many were dying in the hatching-
troughs, which are supplied by spring water of a low temperature,
300,000 were planted in Bridger Creek early in July. By the time
the rest of the fry were hatched the ponds were again supplied with the
creek water and they throve well in it, though the losses from canni-
balism were heavy. It would seem from the experience at this station
that the methods used in hatching and rearing trout are not entirely
‘applicable to the grayling. The fry can not be retained in troughs
supplied by cold spring water, as trout are. This is probably because
trout when first hatched have a large yolk-sac, which supplies them
‘with nourishment for a month or more, and by that time they are
able to take artificial food. The yolk-sae of the grayling is quite
small and is absorbed in a few days, consequently the fry have but little
‘strength when they begin to swim and are apparently incapable of
taking artificial food, and as there is little or no natural food in
spring water, it is imperative that they be transferred to water con-
taining it. This food can easily be seen with the naked eye. In
holding a glassful to the light hundreds of small crustaceans (Ento-
mostraca), resembling specks of dust, can be seen floating in the
water. Another reason why the fry of the grayling should be trans-
ferred at an early stage to creek water is that they may get plenty of
sunlight, as they have been observed to be partial to the sunny parts
of the water. Within a week or two after the absorption of the sac
the fry learn to take finely chopped liver very readily.

‘ Operations at Red Rock commenced much earlier than ever before,
collections of grayling eggs extending from April 30 to June 1. Mr.
G. H. Tolbert, who had charge of the work, secured 3,687,000; of

84 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

these, 119,500 were lost in incubation, 1,625,000 were transferred to
Bozeman, and the balance, 1,942,000, were hatched and distributed in
the vicinity. The eggs were eyed in white-fish hatching-jars, and were
then transferred to troughs and hatched like trout. The shipments,
many of which were to distant points, reached their destination in
excellent condition. This was attributed chiefly to the use of a new
shipping-case, devised at the station the previous winter. The outside
of this case is of the usual form, 30 inches square, from 12 to 18 inches"
‘deep, and fitted with hinges, hinged hasps, and staples, in order to
allow ready access for re-icing en route. An inner case of half-inch
stuff, of the same depth as the outer case, but without top or bottom
and about 26 inches square, fits into the outer case, the space between
the two being packed with dry sphagnum-moss or sawdust. The egg
trays are 12 inches square outside and 13 inches deep, and as it has
proven impracticable to place moss over the eggs, the only covering
is a piece of mosquito netting on each tray. The stack of trays is
placed in the center of the space in the case, which is then filled in
with broken ice. On the top of the trays is a hopper of the same size
with perpendicular sides filled with ice, which allows ready access to
the ice chamber. On the outside is a notice to the express messenger
that the contents are perishable and must be re-iced en route. No
difficulty has so far been experienced in sending eggs to any part of
the United States in this form of case. In every instance they have
arrived in good condition, with a temperature of 40° or less.

The black-spotted trout eggs on hand at the first of the year were
hatched in July, and the fry resulting from them were distributed in
September and October in the States of Montana, Oregon, Idaho, and
Washington, the output amounting to 277,000. The season at Henry
Lake was about a month in advance of the usual time. The first eggs
were taken on April 2, the last on June 5, the total collections being
1,441,000. The work at this point was directed by Mr. W. F. Jarvis,
and was satisfactory except for the heavy loss of eggs during incuba-
tion, which was due to the fact that sufficient help could not be
secured to pick out the dead ones. The lossesin hatching were 398,500,
During June 923,000 were transferred to Bozeman and 120,000 were
hatched and distributed in Henry Lake and vicinity.

In the summer of 1897 a number of steelhead trout escaped from
the ponds into Bridger Creek, which flows through the station grounds,
and as aresult some 200 steelheads this year entered the waste ditch
from the creek and 52,000 eggs were secured from them and hatched
with little loss, producing fine healthy fry. The fish froni which they
were taken were scarcely three years old, from 12 to 20 inches long,
but were much larger than those of the same age that are confined in
ponds at the station and which did not spawn this season.

The brook-trout fry on hand at the beginning of the year were dis-
tributed with the other fingerlings in the fall, having been carried
through the summer with comparatively light losses.

reared at the station, and two consignments, comprising 100,000, were
Shipped from Leadville. The first of these arrived in fair condition,
but the last were of poor quality and the losses consequently heavy.

BAIRD STATION, CALIFORNIA (G. H. LAMBSON, SUPERINTENDENT).

| _ During June the racks were put in by the regular employees of the
station, but it was noted that the number of salmon in the pool was
/ much smaller than in past years.. The equipment for the new hatch-
ery, which had been completed just before the close of the fiscal year,
| was installed during the summer and consists of 86 troughs, arranged
| ix sections of eight, so that the water from each gate of the supply-
_ trough passes through four troughs of eggs, with a fall of about 9
| inches. The upper troughs are 52 inches above the floor and are pro-
| vided with platforms for the pickers to stand on; the lower troughs
| are 20 inches above the floor. The troughs are 15 feet 63 inches long,
| 15% inches wide, and 74 inches deep, inside measurement, and are
| equipped with 6 baskets each, 24 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 6%
| inches deep. These baskets are of galvanized-wire cloth, 5 wires to
| the inch, #-inch mesh, and are substantially made, the corners being
| soldered to an L strip of galvanized sheet iron extending seven-six-
| teenths of an inch on each side, and the wire cloth attached at the
top to the wooden frame by double-pointed tacks. The compart-
| ments in which they are placed are 25 inches long and are separated
| by pairs of steel plates placed 14 inches apart. The first division
| plate is 12 inches from the upper end of the trough and the lowest
division 14 inches from the lower end. The troughs are fastened
| together in pairs by two iron braces made of 3-inch by 1-inch iron,
which extend across the bottom and up the sides in the shape of a
| double L, and are attached by screws. This arrangement leaves the
top of the trough open, with no braces in sight, and, moreover, allows
the baskets to be shifted without being lifted from the water.

_ The water supply for the station, which had been very unsatisfac-
tory in the past two years, was increased by the installation of a No.
4 Byron Jackson centrifugal pump, geared to supply about 450 gal-
lons per minute. The power for operating this pump is furnished by
| an undershot water-wheel, designed by Mr. Leroy Ledgerwood, one
_ of the regular laborers at the station. It is 13 feet long with a radius

of 6 feet 15 inches, with 18 paddles 19 inches wide. It runs ona
33-inch shaft, and makes about 6 revolutions per minute when driy-
ing the pump. The power is conveyed by an 8-segment gear of 184
teeth bolted to the framework of the wheel and driving a 24-tooth
pinion, to the shaft of which is keyed the main driving-pulley, 64 feet
in diameter. The pump is operated by a 7-ineh pulley, driven by an
8-inch rubber belt 80 feet long. This wheel is so built on its sup-
porting frames that by means of a tackle it can be raised or lowered
to meet the exigencies of rising or falling waters in the river, as at
certain heights of water it becomes impossible to use the water-wheel.
To meet such*emergencies a steam pumping-plant was installed, capa-_
ble of furnishing 300 to 400 gallons of water per minute. This plant
consists of a Blake special duplex pump, operated by a 15-horsepower
Atlas locomotive boiler, and is set about 17 feet above the river at
extreme high-water level. It is operated when the regular supply
is disabled, and has proved very satisfactory. A suitable building
with corrugated-iron roof was erected over this plant.

Fish-cultural work commenced August 21 and continued steadily
until September 27, when the summer run was over. The fall run
commenced October 18 and continued until November 9. During the
first run 14,017 females and 8,047 males were captured in the 353
seine-hauls made; of these, 914 males and 1,222 females were placed
in the spawning-pens. - From the trap, which is located in the upper |
rack, 108 females were secured and 34 were taken with a dip net.
The total number of fish handled does not indicate the real number in
the pool, as it is customary to count them as often as they are caught.
There were, perhaps, between 3,000 and 4,000 fish in the pool during.
the summer run, though not over a third of that number were in the
pool at one time. The fall run was very irregular, and only 173 fish
were captured; of these, 101 females were placed in the pound.

The seining is done in the pool between the upper and lower racks,
and is carried on daily from 5 to 10 a. m. and from 5 to 10 p.m. The
seine is run out in a flat-bottomed boat and hauled in by a windlass,
operated by two men and a one-horse whim. While operating the
seine at night it is necessary to keep a fire on the bank for warmth
and light, and lanterns are hung up around the fishing-grounds to
enable the men to examine the fish as they are captured.

Many fish are necessarily held in the pool for eight or ten weeks, and
it has been noticed that there is a decided difference in the condition
of the ripe fish, some being dark, with fins frayed, noses bitten, and of
a generally dilapidated appearance, while others are bright, silvery,
plump, and pliable. The former are those that have been in the pool
for a long time, the latter are fresh-run fish. It is much more difficult
to take eggs from the old-run fish, but no experiments have been con-
ducted to determine whether they are actually inferior to the eggs
from fresh-run fish.

_ The methods of taking the eggs are the same as heretofore. After

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 87

the fish are stripped the females are knocked on the head and given to
the Indians for winter stores, though a few were put up by the white
residents during the past season. The males are returned to the river
unless there is a scarcity, when they are retained in the pound to be

used again, as one male will 955 (aleean furnish milt for several pans

of eggs.
From the summer run 6, 298, 260 eggs were secured; from the fall

run 186,800, a total of 6,415,060. The summer run averaged 4,896
per fish; the fall run 5,494. ‘After the eggs are taken to the hatchery
they are measured and put in baskets, 40,000 to the basket. As the
eggs were much smaller this year than heretofore, it was discovered
later in the season that the first 72 baskets filled contained 48,800
each.

As soon as the water is turned on the baskets are covered and the
dead eggs are picked out every other day until they reach the criti-
cal stage, which is usually the fourth or fifth day at this station.
They are then left undisturbed until the day after the closing of the
blastopore, which usually occurs about the eleventh or twelfth day.

At that time they are uncovered and washed without lifting the bas-

kets from the water, which is done by removing the division plates,
and after that are picked daily until all dead eggs have been removed.

When the eggs were from 25 to 28 days old 1,000,000 were shipped
to the California Fish Commission station on Eel River, and 1,905,000
to the Sisson hatchery. The remainder, with 1,224,000 rte Battle
Creek, were hatched at the station. Of the eggs taken during the
summer run 1,115,000 were lost during incubation and from the fall
run 11,880, making a total of 1,126,880, or 17.9 per cent loss on the
eggs taken at Baird. Of those transferred from Battle Creek 24,400,
or 1.9 per cent, were lost.

Very unfavorable reports were received from the California Fish

. Commission as to the condition of the eggs sent to Sisson. The shells

seemed to be spotted by a thinning of the membrane, and this was
followed later by its rupture and consequent death of the aborted
fry. The superintendent, accompanied by Mr. Wallich, the foreman
at Baird, examined the eggs at Sisson and found the disease present,

- though not to so great an extent as had been reported. It is believed

by the California Commission that it was due to fungus, but as the
eggs at Baird during the season had been exceptionally free from this
disease, the superintendent was unable to concur in this opinion.
Later Mr. Cloudsley Rutter, of the Division of Scientific Inquiry, was
detailed to examine into the trouble, but not arriving at Baird until

the affected eggs had hatched and most of the fry had been planted,

he was unable to make as thorough investigation as was desired.
This is not the first appearance of this disease. It has been observed
several years previously, but no systematic study involving an exam-
ination of the parent fish, eggs, and fry has ever been made, nor has

_there been any attempt to cultivate the bacteria and determine its

88 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

exact nature. The majority of the eggs retained at the station were
taken from the firstrun and commenced to hatch on September 27.
They finished on October 27, the yield amounting to 2,208,260.

The eggs from the fall run and from Battle Creek were hatched
in October and November, and yielded, respectively, 174,920 and
1,187,050. The loss of fry during the sac stage was comparatively
small, amounting to 49,130, or 3.6 per cent of the total fry hatched.
Several days before the eggs commence to hatch at this station the
baskets are placed in clean troughs, two to each trough, where they
remain until all have hatched except a few hundred. The baskets
are then transferred to the last section of the trough, as these eggs
produce a large percentage of deformed fry. This was particularly
noticeable in the eggs from Battle Creek; in some cases both the caudal
fin and the caudal vertebrze were apparently lacking. During the
process of hatching the baskets are shaken up twice a day to sift the
fry through and prevent their smothering. The fry are cleaned daily,
but the troughs can not be thoroughly scrubbed until the hatching is
completed. Upon the removal of the baskets the troughs are given.a
good scrubbing and the operation is repeated twice a week until aa
are planted.

Karly in the season the eggs retained for hatching seemed to —
an unusual mortality late in their development, but the measurement ~
of losses did not reveal anything to cause alarm. A considerable
mortality occurred in the alevins after they were somewhat advanced —
in development, but in most instances the losses seemed to be indi-
vidually selective. The victims showed no preliminary affection,
and were usually taken from the oldest, strongest, and best lots of |
fry. As this loss was not due to the fish smothering, it was believed
that the depth of water in the troughs might be too great; conse-
quently it was lowered from 6 to 4 inches in another line of troughs,
but the results were identically the same. A mud bath was also ©
tried without effect. The greatest loss occurred among the scattered
baskets of eggs, which had been retained at the station on account of
extraordinary losses upon first picking. This would seem to point to
the cause as antedating the taking of the eggs from the fish.

The following table shows the daily take of eggs, eggs lost, and
mean temperature of water:

BATTLE CREEK, CALIFORNIA (G. H. LAMBSON, SUPERINTENDENT).

The station remained in charge of a watchman until September 10,
when work was regularly installed by the superintendent, Mr. W. B.
Hunt, an employee of the California Commission, being put in charge
of the hatchery and Mr. A. P. Smiley in charge of work on racks,
ditches, ete. The main rack was commenced at once and was com-
pleted so that no salmon could ascend the stream by September 15,
when the energies of the men were directed to completing racks 2 and
3, clearing the seining-grounds between the racks, cleaning out the
water-supply ditch, and placing the hatchery apparatus in condition
for work.

On October 1, when the first salmon appeared, the water in the Sac-
ramento River was so low that very few fish entered Battle Creek.
On October 11 a heavy rainfall raised the creek and brought down a
large amount of trash, but only a few salmon were brought up by the
rise. Rains continued, and on October 19 racks 2 and 3 had been
damaged, No. 3 being partially carried away, but the main rack was
uninjured. On October 26 the first haul of the seine was made and
about 60 fish secured. Of the 18 females included in this catch only
1 was ripe. 7

Regular seining commenced on October 28 with a crew of 7 men, .

and continued to. November 18, on which date only 24 fish were
secured in 6 hauls of the seine. This season the seine was hauled at
intervals of 40 to 60 minutes for about 10 hours during the day,
though in previous years when fish were plentiful it has been cus-
tomary to employ two crews and keep the seine going continuously
night and day. When working at night two locomotive headlights
are used to illuminate the grounds, and fires are maintained on the
banks for the comfort of the workmen.

The season proved a total failure. Only 3,258 fish were captured,
and of these 255 yielded 1,420,500 eggs, an average of 4,984 per fish.
The usual methods were employed in taking eggs. All eggs were
transferred to the hatchery, where they were eyed, 1,224,000 being
shipped to Baird and 20,000 to France.

On December 18 the remaining temporary employees were dis-
charged and the regular men transferred to Baird, the property being

left in charge of a watchman. As usual, theadult fish were given to
residents in tho vicinity of the station, who came in large prin hors
from 50 miles around for them.

CLACKAMAS STATION, OREGON (S. W. DOWNING IN CHARGE).

Mr. W. F. Hubbard, who had been in charge of this station since
its acquisition by the Government, was transferred to Nashua on July
1, and the station left in charge of Mr. J. N. Wisner, field superin-
tendent until July 10, when it was turned over to Mr. 8. W. Downing,
-who had been appointed to the vacancy. The construction of the rack
across the Clackamas River, a short distance above the station, was
undertaken at once and finished July 25. As the water supply had
been very unsatisfactory for a number of years a well was sunk to a
depth of about 20 foet near the hatchery, 4 feet below the level of the
low-water mark of the Clackamas River, and as the land formation
at that depth is of coarse gravel, an abundant supply of water was
secured. The water was very clear, of even temperature, and proved
of excellent quality for hatching purposes. During the summer the |
seining-grounds below the rack were cleared and a number of other
improvements made.

Operations commenced on September 13, but no ripe fish were taken
until the 15th. As thero were very few fish below the rack, an agree-
ment was entered into with G. H. Oldenburg to furnish eyed eggs at
40 cents per 1,000, and 775,000 were secured in this way. The fishing
at the station resulted in the collection of 619,900, and 620,000 were
transferred from the Salmon River, which was being operated by the
State ish Commission. In November 2,436,000 more were received
from the Little White Salmon, making a total of 4,450,900 handled
during the season. The fry resulting from these, 4,371,422, were
liberated in the Clackamas River and Clear Creek, over an area of
about 10 miles above and. below the station, except 250,000, which
were held in troughs and fed until they were four months old, whon
all were liberated except 2,000 retained for further experiment. On
February 25 the fingerlings that were being fed were attacked by
fungus, the dorsal and pectoral fins turning white and little white
spots appearing on different parts of the body. Salt was applied by
drawing the water in the trough down low and then adding a pailful
of strong brine. The fry were allowed to remain in this until they
showed signs of distress, when fresh water was again turned on.
After several such treatments the disease disappeared. The well
water was used until November 30, when the water from the spring
was turned on* The spring water had been tried early in the season
when the eggs wero received from the Salmon River, but on account
of its high temperature they commenced dying within a few hours after
being placed in it.

With the view to getting additional data relative to the number of
salmon that return to the streams in which they are liberated, efforts

92 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

were made in June to tag the fry that had been held, but although the
greatest care was exercised, all the fish experimented with died in a few
days. Twenty-fourof them were tagged through the mouth, but with
the same result. The difficulty in marking such small fish lies in the
liability of injury to the scales and fins. Every fish, though handled
very carefully with a soft linen cloth, showed white spots or finger
marks within 5 minutes after being returned to the water, and on the
following day they were covered with fungus.

Experiments were also tried to determine how many eggs are left
in a salmon after being stripped by the usual process, and as to the
practicability of taking these through an opening in the abdomen.
The abdomen was opened and all of the eggs found in the ovaries
were washed free of blood and milt applied, but the eggs were of no
value. At the Rogue River station, however, very good results were
secured, 35,800 of the 53,200 eggs taken being successfully eyed. At
that point, in order to avoid possible injury to the eggs by washing,
Mr. Berrian bled the fish by cutting off their tails before placing them
_in the spawning-box. The fry hatched from them appeared to be
as healthy and strong as the others, and it was decided that from
400 to 500 eggs per fish could in this manner be saved.

Besides the quinnat-salmon eggs handled here, 150,000 eggs of the
silver salmon were received from the Rogue River in January, from
which 146,000 fry were hatched and liberated in the Clackamas.
One hundred thousand lake-trout eggs shipped from Northville pro-
duced 88,000 fry, which were held until March, and then planted in
suitable lakes in the State of Washington. Two shipments of white-
fish eggs, aggregating 1,000,000, were also received from this station.
The first proved a total loss, having been 8 days en route; the other
yielded 160,000 fry, which were liberated in Lake Washington, King
County, Wash. From the 25,000 rainbow-trout eggs received from the
California Fish Commission 22,000 fry were distributed in Meachum,
Pearson, and McKay creeks, all tributaries of the Columbia River,
ncear Pendleton, Oreg., at the request of the Oregon Fish Protective
Association. . On the last of May 144,000 steelhead eggs were trans-
ferred from the Rogue River and produced 124,000 fry.

From Bozeman 50,000 grayling eggs were received, which produced
41,000 fry. :

On May 7 Mr. Downing was transferred to the superintendency of
the Put-in Bay station and was succeeded by Mr. E. N. Carter.

RoGvuE RIVER STATION, OREGON.

As the State Fish Commission had decided to operate the Upper
Clackamas and Salmon River stations, the superintendent visited
Rogue River with Mr. R. D. Hume late in July and arranged to
reopen the station there. Large numbers of salmon were to be seen
jumping, and to prevent their further ascent a rack was immediately
placed across the river. Fishing commenced during the latter part

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 93

of August and continued steadily to October 19, when the rack was
carried away by high water and all the fish escaped.

The indications are that Rogue River will prove a valuable field for
salmon work: There is no doubt but that double as many eggs
would have been collected this season had not the rack been carried
away. The day it was swept out 264,800 eggs were collected and
there were numbers of green fish in the pool. The water of this
stream is of the very best quality for hatching operations, the high-
est temperature recorded being 53°. The following illustrates what
may be accomplished in water of this character:. A basket containing
8,000 eggs was placed in a trough in the river and left undisturbed
for 21 days, when they were found to be perfectly eyed, and only 80
dead ones were picked out; a total loss of 1 per cent.

The take for the season was 4,364,800, of which 1,800,000 were sent
to Mr. Hume’s hatchery at Wedderburn, Oreg., near the mouth of
the Rogue River. The first shipment of 800,000, although two weeks
en route and hauled about 100 miles over a wagon road, reached des-
tination with a loss of only about 10 per cent; the second lot carried
much better, the loss being only about 1 per cent. They were hatched
at Wedderburn and the fry held until they were 3 or 4 inches long,
being fed entirely on canned salmon. They were then liberated in
the Rogue and its tributaries. The balance of the eggs were hatched
at the station, producing 2,156,000 fry, which were liberated in Elk
Creek and Rogue River.

Efforts were also made to collect silver-salmon eggs. A rack was
placed across Elk Creek on November 19, and on the 27th, when it
was carried away by a freshet, 200,000 eggs had been secured. They
were of fair quality, and 150,000 of them were eyed, but as the hatch-
ery was overcrowded with quinnat salmon they were shipped to

Clackamas.

As numbers of steelhead trout had been observed in Elk Creek it
was decided to establish“an auxiliary station on that stream, and a
point about 10 miles above the station, known as Elk Creek Falls,
was selected. Here the stream forks at almost right angles, the falls

_being in the east branch. By February 1 an effectual barrier to the

ascent of the fish up the west branch had been completed in the form
of a solid log dam a short distance from the base of the falls, thus

- compelling the fish to ascend the east branch. A heavy log was then

placed across the creek at the upper edge of the falls and pinned to
the bed-rock, forming so sudden an ascent that the fish were unable
to jump over it. A deep natural channel, with almost level bottom,
about halfway up the falls formed an excellent place for a trap, and
here the greater portion of the fish were secured. Many fish were also
captured on the north side of the falls, where a channel 40 feet long,
2 feet deep, and 4 feet wide was blasted in the solid rock. A small
shed 15 by 38 feet, without sides, was erected, and two hatching-
troughs set up, the water supply being conveyed to them by means of

94 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

a ditch and 100 feet of flume. The first eggs were secured March 7,
‘and the season closed May 11, with a total take of 530,000. Of these
315,000 were shipped to various points in the United States, 70,000
were lost in incubation, and the balance transferred to Clackamas on
May 24, when the Elk Creek Falls station was closed.

LITTLE WHITE SALMON STATION, OREGON (J. N. WISNER, SUPERINTENDENT).

The station was opened August 5 and preparations at once com-
menced for the capture of quinnat salmon. The channel of the
river was found blecked by a mass of débris, caused by the lumber
company fluming lumber down to the Columbia River. On Septem-
ber 2, after much correspondence and several interviews, the company
was induced to discontinue operations, so that in a few days salmon
began to appear in the river, and on the 10th fishing was commenced.
The daily catch increased steadily until September 25, when the num-
ber seemed to have reached its maximum. On that date 1,025,000
eggs were secured, the largest take of the season.

The fish are captured by means of a downstream trap, which con-
sists of a box about 20 feet long by 8 feet wide and 18 inches deep,
made of slats placed 2 inches apart, anchored in midstream. The
end of the trap pointing upstream is weighted to the bottom of the
river and a dam or rack extends from its two sides to within a few
feet of either bank. The fish ascending the stream pass around the
rack to the spawning-grounds above, and as soon as a sufficient num-
ber have collected a seine is drawn downstream at a rapid rate.
Although salmon always swim against the current, when frightened ~
they turn and go rapidly downstream, and as a consequence they are
brought to a halt high and dry upon the lower end of the trap. They
are then quickly assorted and placed in pens near the traps, the males
and females being put in separate compartments. Most of the fishing
during the season is done at night, the best hauls being usually made |
about an hour after dark. SHAE,

Spawning operations commence in the morning and continue until
all ripe fish have been stripped. The female is first taken from the
pen by the spawn-taker, and if found to be ripe she is killed by'strik-
ing her upon the back of the head with a club. She is then placed
in the spawning-box, which is raised to a vertical position so that the
eggs may be stripped into a pan held by an assistant. Assoonas the
milt is added to the eggs the contents are gently’ stirred until every
egg has come in contact with it. . A little water is then added and the
pan placed aside for 14 minutes, when it is handed to a third person,
who washes the milt and dirt from the eggs’ by immersing the pan in
water. The eggs are then carried in buckets to the hatchery, meas-
ured, and placed in baskets. The buckets hold about 15,000 eggs
each, and are carried in pairs by means of yokes, one man carrying
two buckets. The baskets to which they are transferred on arriving
at the hatchery hold from 25,000 to 40,000 each, depending on the size

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 95

of the troughs used. After being placed in the troughs they are coy-
ered to exclude the light. On the first, second,.and third days the

dead eggs are picked off, after which they are not uncovered for at

least 30 days, provided the water is clear. At the expiration of this
period they are placed in water-buckets and a strong current of water
turned on, which causes all of the unimpregnated eggs to turn white,
while it does not injure the good ones. After the dead eggs have
been removed the remainder are returned to the baskets.

The first eggs were secured September 11 and the last on October
10. During this period 10,385,000 were collected from 2,148 females,
making an average of 4,835 per fish; 1,042,125 were lost in incuba-
tion; 250,000 were shipped to New Zealand, and 2,436,000 transferred
to Clackamas. Theeggs retained at the station hatched in November
and the fry were liberated in December and January, as soon as the
sac was absorbed, in the Little White Salmon, Dog Creek, and the
Columbia River, the total loss being only 30,820 during the fry stage.
In all 6,626,947 were planted in the streams referred to.

Several experimental forms of hatching and rearing apparatus were
tried during the season, but proved unsatisfactory. It is believed,
however, that the present forms can be materially improved upon.

Eggs of the blueback salmon were impregnated with milt of the
quinnat and, contrary to theory, hatched nicely, the fry resulting
being strong and healthy. Eggs of the humpback salmon were also
fertilized with milt of the quinnat, giving as good results.

As the result of a number of experiments the conclusion was reached
that an average of 825 eggs remain in a salmon after it has been
stripped by the usual operation, and of these 48 per cent might be
impregnated, or 400 eggs per fish; and, consequently, had all the eggs
been removed through an incision made in the abdomen 859,000 more
fry could have been hatched. The. experiments seemed to demon-
strate that where the eggs are removed through an incision and fer-
tilized immediately before the blood is removed the loss would be
about 3 per cent, whereas if the blood is quickly rinsed off before
the milt is applied the loss is very heavy, sometimes averaging 99 per
cent. Of the eggs remaining after the fish has been stripped by the
usual method, only 48 per cent could be fertilized when they were
removed through an incison.

On one salmon weighing about 40 pounds a lump as large as a man’s
head was observed immediately under the dorsal fin. The lump was
found to consist partly of a gristly growth resembling a tumor and
partly of a gelatinous substance, the former being of a light color and
the latter of about the same shade as the fish. The eggs from this
fish were good, and the lump had apparently not interfered at all with
its locomotion. A male was also observed with all the characteristics
of a female. Another fish with jaws crossed in such a way as to
resemble a pair of shears was noted. The bones seemed not to have
been broken.

96 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

During the early part of December the force at the station was
occupied in building a boom around the premises, cutting down trees
near the buildings and flume, and preparing for high water during’
the following summer. The boom as completed protects all the shore
lines from drift. It was made from sticks of timber 40 to 60 feet in
length and 12 to 20 inches in diameter. The amount of drift and
lumber that settled on the station grounds the previous winter caused
very serious inconvenience and necessitated an immense amount of
work before the station could be opened.

During the fall the superintendent visited all the streams on both
sides of the Columbia River, between Viento and Celilo Falls, Oregon,
with the view to establishing auxiliary stations for taking and eying
eggs. The only places that offer any possibilities are the falls at
Celilo, where by running a fish-wheel during the closed season some
ripe fish might be captured. On the Big White Salmon the prospects
are better, except that logging operations would prevent the con-
struction of a rack.

In December the station was closed and placed in charge of a
watchman, and the superintendent was transferred east for duty in
connection with the shad work.

BAKER LAKE STATION, WASHINGTON (H. H. BucK, SUPERINTENDENT),

In July Mr. J. N. Wisner was instructed to proceed to Baker Lake
and receive the station from the Washington Fish Commission, from
whom it had been purchased, and turn it over to Mr. W. W. Thayer,
who had been appointed superintendent. Mr.-Thayer, after visiting
the station, resigned and was succeeded by Mr. H. H. Buck, but in
the interim Mr. Wisner employed a force of men and commenced
clearing the seining-grounds and getting the equipment in readiness
for the salmon work. By August 1 the permanent personnel, con-
sisting of a superintendent, fish-culturist, and two laborers, had been
appointed, and a good working force of temporary assistants taken on.

All supplies for the use of the station were packed in during August
and September, as it is very difficult, if not dangerous, to bring in
material late in the fall.

Karly in September arrangements were completed for fishing for
blueback or sockeye salmon, which seek the lake in large numbers to
spawn in still water along its rocky shores. Gill nets 300 feet long |
and 20 feet deep were employed for the work here, as it was impos-
sible to use seines, as the shores of the lake are covered with heavy
timber which must have been killed by a rise of water from 50 to 100
years ago. The task of removing this material would be exceed-
ingly expensive, and as it seems to afford shelter for the young fish
and serves as a breeding-place for their food, it is questionable whether
it would be advisable to do so. The nets are handled from boats, two

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 97

men in a boat, the plan being to attach one end to the shore and pay

it out quietly in the are of a circle around a spawning-bed. The in-
closed salmon are then driven into the net by movements of the boat
and splashing of the oars. The spawners are put into pens provided
near the spawning-shed, which stands upon a large float in front of
the hatchery, and the same process is repeated upon another part of
the shore. As night approaches the nets may often be left set for two
hours or more. On the same day or the one following the fish are
handled in the usual manner by the spawn-takers.

The season practically closed October 28, though a few eggs were
taken as late as November 10, and resulted in the collection of

11,613,000 eggs from 3,218 females. No record was kept of the num-
ber of males, but it is believed that at least 5,000 were used.

The hatchery, which is a wooden structure, is fitted with 74 troughs,
each 16 feet long and containing 7 baskets. The number of eggs
placed to a basket varied from 30,000 to 40,000, and each trough was

- given a maximum flow of 12 gallons of water per minute. The period
of incubation for the first eggs collected was seventy-two days, at a
mean temperature of 45° F., corresponding closely to the rule of fifty
days at 50°, and five days more or less for each degree of lower or
higher temperature, as established by Seth Green. The hatchery is
supplied with water from the creek, which drains the hills on the
south side of the lake, its normal volume being about 200 miner’s

_ inches of water, equal to about 2,000 gallons per minute. It is unfor-
tunately subject to sudden rises, and at such times is muddy, which
will necessitate the erection of a settling tank at some time in the
future, in order to guard against losses of eggs.

Of the eggs collected, 92 per cent hatched, and 10,683,000 fry were lib-

_ erated in the lake and in Skagit River. No attempt was made to ship

. eggs from the station on account of its isolated position. Hamilton,

-the nearest railroad station, is 36 miles away, and 18 miles of this dis-

tance is over a mountain trail. It is hoped that during the next year

a trail will be opened up on the south side to Baker, where the rail-

road is now extending its tracks. ;
-A few silver salmon appeared in the lake after the bluebacks, but
as the hatchery was crowded, no attempt was made to handle them.
An effort was made to collect steelheads when the first fish appeared
at the foot of the lake on March 9, but between that time and May

8 only 81 were captured in the gill nets. These were placed in the

floating-pens to ripen, but most of them died, the 14 surviving females

yielding 52,000 eggs, which hatched in about seventy-five days, in a
mean temperature of 403°. The losses aggregated 50 per cent, and
occurred largely in the early stages of development. The mortality
was supposed to have been due to the parent fish failing to properly
mature their eggs on account of confinement in the pens.

REPORT ON THE INQUIRY RESPECTING FOOD-FISHES AND
THE FISHING-GROUNDS.

By HueGu M. SMITH, Assistant in Charge.

OYSTER INVESTIGATIONS.
LYNNHAVEN RIVER, VIRGINIA.

During this year the oyster-fattening experiments at Lynnhaven
River, Virginia, have been continued with encouraging results. The
special objects have been to secure by artificial means a more abun-
dant growth of the minute plants on which the oyster feeds in order
that the oysters may more readily and surely attain a marketable con-
dition. The use of commercial fertilizer as a pabulum for the diatoms
was continued with increasing success. The claire, wholly shut off
from the influence of the tides, was refilled in August with water hav-
ing a density of 1.012, and a good quality of fertilizer was applied at
the rate of 400 pounds to the acre, the claire having a mean depth of
23 feet. The oysters, introduced at intervals between October and
January, ultimately became as fat as any market requires, and some
sent to Washington in March were exceptionally fat. It was found,
however, that the time required for oysters to attain the desired con-
dition was too long for practical purposes, probably because the proc-
esses of respiration, feeding, ete., are not sufficiently active on account
of the absence of tidal motion. The next step in the experiments will
be the artificial production of currents throughout the claire, so that
the water will be aerated and the vital processes in the oysters stimu-
lated at the same time that the food organisms are being regularly
supplied.

NORTH CAROLINA.

In pursuance of the general policy of the Commission to assist tne
States in the development of their fishery resources, the steamer Fish
Hawk was detailed for a thorough survey of certain oyster-grounds
of North Carolina, the special object in view being the devising of
methods for promoting the oyster industry and the determination
of the factors which underlie the failure of oyster-culture in the State
during the past ten or twelve years. A consideration of these points
involved a complete study of the biological and physical characters of
the oyster-grounds. The extent of the North Carolina waters adapted
to the existence of oysters prevented an examination of more than a
small part of the grounds in one season, and the work was therefore

restricted to certain areas of special interest. me

‘

120 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

In September, 1899, the investigations were begun in the vicinity of
Beaufort and Morehead, and included Newport and North rivers, the
Straits, Jarrett Bay, and Back Sound, which waters were completed
in December; then the /tsh Hawk moved into Pamlico Sound, where
it was engaged until March, 1900, in work on several important areas,
including Swan Quarter Bay, the most productive oyster section in
the State.

The general 3xamination of the oyster-beds was under the immedi-
ate charge of Mr. James A. Smith, the commanding officer of the ves-
sel, who was assisted by Mr. W. F. Hill and Mr. O. F. Bellows, who were
detailed from the office at Washington as surveyors and draftsmen,
and by Dr. Caswell Grave, of Johns Hopkins University, who gave
particular attention to the biological features of the inquiry. Prof.
J. A. Holmes, director of the North Carolina geological and natural-
history survey, took great interest in the work and his suggestions as to
the especial regions to be examined were followed. The State Oyster
Commission, at the request of Professor Holmes, detailed their steam
launch to assist in the survey in Pamlico Sound. Special reports on
the work have been submitted by the commander of the vessel and
Dr. Grave, and large detailed charts delineating the natural and
planted oyster-beds have been prepared in the office by Mr. Hill from
data obtained in the field. |

EASTERN OYSTERS ON THE PACIFIC COAST.

Although the eastern oyster has been acclimatized in the Pacific
States for a number of years, it is only in California that natural
reproduction is known to have taken place. If the oysters in Oregon
and Washington have reproduced, the young have not survived the
free-swimming stage. This matter is naturally engaging the atten-
tion of the State fishery authorities. References to the studies of the
eastern oysters planted in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, have been made in
previous reports of the division. In 1899 the condition of the oysters —
in Willapa Bay, Washington, received attention. The Commission
had planted 80 barrels of eastern oysters in this place in 1894, with
the understanding that they would be properly guarded and left to
multiply. The absence of recent reports from this lot, together with
requests from the State that the physical conditions in the bay be
considered with reference to oyster propagation, led the Commission
to undertake a preliminary examination in the present fiscal year.
Dr. H. F. Moore, naturalist on the Albatross and an oyster expert,
having been detailed to visit the bay in August, 1899, while en route
to join the vessel, made the following report:

Pursuant to orders, I have visited Willapa Bay for the purpose of examining the
eastern oysters planted there by the Commission and ‘* to determine whether nat-
ural spawning has taken place, and if not, whether there are physical conditions

which prevent it.” Ihave found that the oysters planted there by the Commission
have been almost exterminated, « somewhat lengthy search resulting in finding

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 121

but five. The reasons for this are not to be defined froin the brief examination
which it was possible for me to make. They may have become buried by shifting
of the bottom or by the deposit of silt, but from the condition of the shells found
I am inclined to think that neither explanation is adequate, and I suspect that
some, at least, of the transplanted oysters have found their way to market. I
understand that these oysters were bedded rather thickly, and if they and the dead
shells have not become buried they have certainly been carried off through some
agency. I have learned from the oystermen that at the end of the first year a
large proportion of those planted had survived and were on the beds, but after that
they became gradually fewer. It would appear, therefore, that they had with-
stood the vicissitudes of transportation with a fair degree of success.

During the last two or three years several private beds of eastern oysters have
been estabiished in different parts of Willapa Bay and they are reported to be
doing we!l, possibly because it is somebody’s interest to protect them from depre-
dations of unprincipled persons. -

In this connection I should counsel against further p‘antings of oysters on this
coast by the Commission unless satisfactory guarantee can be offered that they
will be protected from theft. A general assurance from the oystermen of a given
locality is not sufficient, as then no one feels the responsibility and no one wishes
to assume the onus of prosecuting the offenders even if they be detected.

In two of the five oysters found the ovaries were well developed and apparently
ripe eggs could be squeezed from the oviduct. The other three were not sexually
mature,and as no males were found the possibility of fertilizing the ezgs could
not be tested. I understand, however, that Professor Doan, of the State Agricul-
tural College, succeeded in fertilizing some eggs earlierin thesummer. Heissaid
to be carrying on experiments on the line of artificial fecundation as a solution
of the difficulties in establishing self-sustaining beds.

So far as I could learn, there is no evidence that tbe eastern oyster has ever
naturally spawned here, or, rather, that there has ever been a set of spat. I think
that the cold water here will prevent that under ordinary conditions, but I believe
that in shallow ponds suitably constructed, and with proper precautions against the
deposit of silt on the cultch, spat may be raised for subsequent p!anting in the
open bay. If the Commission is to attempt oyster-culture on this coast, it seems
to me that this line of research is the one indicated-as most reasonable and most
likely to yield results of value. The water during my stay was about 61° F., 8 or
9 degrees lower than usually suffices for the development of oyster fry.

We have no series of temperature and density observations extending through-
out the year on this coast, and I have left aset of salinometers with Mr. Bush, who
will make and record observations.

Concerning the native oyster, I made the interesting observation that, like its
European relative, the eggs undergo a very considerable development in the gill
chamber of the mother. When discharged they are, in fact, about at the stage of
fixation. The eggs and embryos are very much larger than the eggs of the east-
ern oyster. 1 donot remember to have seen this fact mentioned by those who have
called attention to the hermaphroditism of the species.

The failure of the eastern oyster to reproduce in the colder waters
of Oregon and Washington has suggested the desirability of trans-
planting to our west coast some of the fine large oysters found in
northern Japan, notably in Akishi Bay, on the eastern side of Hokushu
Island. This step has been recommended by the Commission to some
of the oyster-planters of Washington, and it is understood that nego-
tiations are now under way for the shipment of a cargo for trans-
planting in Willapa Bay and other waters of Washington.

122 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

WORK AT THE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES.
WOODS HOLE, MASSACHUSETTS.

From the report of Dr. H. C. Bumpus, the director of the biological
laboratory of the Commission at this place, the collowiag outline of
the work there carried on has been taken:

The year has been characterized by general improvements in the
equipment of the laboratory, increased facilities for collecting materal,
enlarged library accommodations, and a gratifying increase in the
amount of secientifie work accomplished. The Commissioner was at
the station during the greater portion of the summer, and through his
advice many needed changes were made in and about the laboratory.

The steamer Fish Hawk was at the station at the beginning of the
fiscal year and remained until September 6. During the summer the
trawl was lowered 71 times, and Mr. J. D. Milligan kept a careful reeord
of allthe animals taken. The efficiency of the Fish Hawkas an instru-
ment of biological research was largely due to the skill, interest, and
experience of the commanding officer, James A. Smith, mate, U.8. Navy.

The Grampus made three trips to the Gulf Stream, and Captain
Hahn secured valuable data respecting the distribution of the tile-fish.
The steam launches Blue Wing, Cygnet, and Merganser were in daily
use during July and August. }

At the close of the summer of 1899 Commissioner Bowers recom-
mended that a large room, heretofore used as a museum, be repaired
and made into a library. Nothing during the year has occasioned
more general approval from men of science than the furnishing of
this room for the growing library and as a resort for those who wish
to study. The card catalogue shows a gratifying increase in the num-
ber of contributions to the library, and already the list of acquisitions
numbers over 3,000 volumes and pamphlets. The librarian of Brown
University has kindly loaned sets of the more important scientific
journals, and the authorities of the Marine Biological Laboratory have |
extended the use of their library to those working at the Commission.

The number of those who pursued investigations at the laboratory
is somewhat larger than in the previous year, and while it includes
many who worked on problems solely of economic importance, the
director did not hesitate to call upon any or all for advice or assistance
when the interests of the Commission could be thereby subserved.
Indeed, the following list represents a body of able and willing volun-
teers: Warren EK. Babcock, M. D., Ogdensburg, N. Y.; Barton A.

Dr. James L. Kellogg, assisted by Mr. George H. Sherwood, has
conducted a series of experiments to test the rate of growth of the
clam and the feasibility of clam cultivation. The results of these
experiments will be published in a special report.

Mr. George H. Sherwood has earried on a series of observations for
the purpose of determining the cause of the migrations of fish. Mr.
Vinal N. Edwards’s valuable records of the times of arrival and
departure of various species of fish visiting the Woods Hole region
have proved of great service in this work.

In 1898 Professor McClure, assisted by Mr. C. F. Sylvester, began
a comparative study of the circulatory system of fishes, which has
been continued during the present year. The nets and traps of the

. Commission have provided him with material for this work.

124 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

Mr. E. H. Green has made a chemical examination of the connective
tissue of the ocean sun-fish to determine its value as a glue-producing
material; and has begun an analysis of the chitin of the lobster for
the purpose of finding for it some commercial use.

Mr. E. EK. Tyzzer, of Harvard Medical School, and Dr. Cushing, of
Jefferson Medical College, have begun investigations on the diseases
of fishes, in which they have had the assistance of Dr. Edwin Linton, »
who for many years has confined his studies to the entozoa of fishes.

- During July and August, 1899, Dr. J. E. Benedict was given oppor-
tunity to collect material for the U. 8. National Museum, and in
August and September Mr. Barton A. Bean collected fishes for the
same institution. In August Mr. Freeland Howe, jr., accompanied the
Fish Hawk on a dredging excursion tothe Gulf Stream. His account
of the biological results will appear in an early paper of the Bulletin.

For many years workers at Woods Hole have needed papers of gen-
eral reference in which they might find descriptions of the numerous
animals which occur in this region. The publications of Professor
Verrill on the invertebrates of Vineyard Sound have been for a long
time out of print, and it has been decided to issue a series of faunistie
papers which will ultimately embrace all of the invertebrate groups.
The copepods and hydroids, two groups of invertebrates contributing
largely to the general food supply of fishes, have been given special
attention during the past year. Prof. W. M. Wheeler, of the Uni-
versity of Texas, has already prepared a paper on the former group,
which will appear in the Bulletin for 1899, and Prof. C. C. Nutting,
of the University of Iowa, has a paper on the latter group, which will
be ready for the printer at an early date.

Prof. Hubert L. Clark, of Olivet College, Michigan, has in prepara-
tion a paper on the general anatomy of the star-fish, and Thomas J.
Burrage, of the Harvard Medical School, has contributed an anatom-
ical paper on the alimentary tract of the flounder.

Excellent photographs of living fish have been taken by Mr. M. W. —
Stickney, and sketches of living marine animals have been made by
Mr. Charles R. Knight, of the American Museum.

Much interest has been manifested in recent years in the photography
of living fishes and other animals in the water. While considerable
difficulties are encountered, they are more than counterbalanced by
the satis:action in securing illustrations that actually represent the
form and attitude of the live animals. In the United States great
success in this line has been attained by Dr. R. W. Shufeldt, to whom
the Commission extended facilities at the aquaria in Washington, and
whose paper entitled ‘‘ Experiments in Photography of Living Fishes”
was printed in 1899 asa part of the Bulletin for that year. The plates
in this paper, and also the text, have been extensively reprinted, both
here andabroad. Working along independent lines, Mr. M. W. Stick-
ney has achieved some creditable results in the photography of marine
fishes at the Woods Hole laboratory.

The opening of a laboratory at Beaufort, N. C., on June 1, 1899,
was noticed in the last report, which contained an outline of the
operations during the last month of the fiscal year. The laboratory
remained open until September 15, and was occupied by Prof. W. K.
Brooks, Dr. Caswell Grave, and Mr. A. M. Reese, all of Johns Hop-
kins University; Prof. E. W. Berger, of Baldwin University; Prof.
J. I. Hamaker, of Trinity College (N. C.); Prof. 'T. G. Pearson, of
Guilford College; Prof. J. Y. Graham, of the University of Alabama;
and Mr. C. A. Shore, of the University of North Carolina, in addition
to Prof. H. V. Wilson, of the same institution, who was in charge.
The laboratory reopened under the same direction on June 1, 1900,
during which month tables were taken by Prof. E. B. Wilson, Dr.
H. E. Crampton, Mr. H. B. Torrey, and Mr. J. C. Torrey, of Columbia
University; Dr. Grave; Professor Hamaker; Prof. R. E. Coker, of
the Goldsboro (N. C.) public schools; and Mr. J. W. Turrentine, of
the University of North Carolina.

Among the numerous special inquiries conducted by the laboratory
corps, the following may be mentioned: Prof. H. V. Wilson, assisted
by Mr. Shore, gave attention to the breeding conditions of certain
fishes, sponges, and crustacean parasites, among the last being a

-small barnacle (Dichelaspis) on the gills of the common edible crab

(Callinectes). Professor Coker and Mr. Turrentine, under Professor
Wilson’s supervision, investigated the spawning habits of various
fishes, including the following edible forms, from all of which eggs
were artificially taken and fertilized: Weak-fish (Cynoscion regale),
spotted squeteague (Cynoscion maculatum), hog-fish (Orthopristis),
porgy (Cheetodipterus), and king-fish (Menticirrus). The eggs of the
silverside (Menidia notata), important as an article of food for the
other fish, were also obtained, and some interesting and valuable

- observations on another small species, a blenny (Hyplewrochilus), were

made. The character of the food of the hog-fish and croaker (Micro-
pogon) was studied. The former species is regarded by many persons
as having a distinctly unpleasant flavor and hence much less valuable
as food than the same fish taken in the vicinity of Norfolk; one cause
for the inferiority in flavor has been found to be a large species of the
peculiar worm-like animal (Balanoglossus), which is very abundant
on the flats in Beaufort Harbor and is freely eaten by the hog-fish.
Dr. Grave studied the life-history of the brittle-stars (Ophiurans), and
during the spring of 1900, while attached to the Fish Hawk, used the
facilities of the station in connection with hisexamination of the oyster-
grounds of the region. Dr. Crampton was occupied in investigating
the effects of abnormal conditions on the development of the eggs of
the oyster and other mollusks. Mr. Torrey considered the early
development of one of the most abundant annelid worms (Axiothea),
an important article of diet for some of the bottom-feeding fishes.

In the course of an extended article on ‘‘ Marine Biology at Beau-

fort” in the American Naturalist for May, 1900, Professor Wilson,
director of the laboratory, makes the following statements concerning
the studies of the various animal forms of the region:

It is planned that the record of each species shall include mention of the locali-
ties in which it is fairly abundant, most convenient collecting methods, time of
year during which breeding goes on, brief natural-history notes on habits of adult
(food, enemies, parasites, rate of growth, time and extent of migration, etc.), and
on the life-history (character of eggs, where and how deposited, possibility of
artificial fertilization, period of embryonic development, character of larva and _
period of larval development, habitat, food, and enemies of larva). The economic
value of such a knowledge of the natural history of the region will be readily
understood, and it is equally obvious to what an extent it will aid naturalists
engaged in the study of abstruse problems of morphological and physiological
embryology, of comparative anatomy and physiology. Its value in connection
with similar results of the work at other coast stations. to the study of the vari-
ability of organisms, may be here alluded to.

To carry out such a scheme of work for a rich fauna like that of Beaufort will
require years. An excellent basis has, however, been built up, and profitable lines
of study marked out by the members of the Johns Hopkins marine laboratory
and by other naturalists, At the Fish Commission laboratory many of the pre-
viously known facts, some recorded, some unrecorded (in the possession of former
workers at Beaufort), have been brought together and confirmed, and important
additions have been made. The forms actually collected during the season of
1899 include 238 species of marine invertebrates, some 70 fishes, 50 birds, a number
of reptiles, amphibia, insects, and arachnoids, and a very considerable number of
land plants and alge. In the case of a good number of species, notes along the
lines indicated above were made. In another season’s work doubtless all the
recorded forms will have been taken and identified. Further progress can only be
made by a forina! division of labor among the members of the laboratory. With
the great awakening of interest, which is so apparent to-day in the phenomena
exhibited by animals and plants regarded as living units, it should not be difficult .
to find naturalists who will gladly work up the local natural history of the groups
embracing the particular forms on which they may be investigating problems of a
morphological or physiological character.

The variety of fishes that may be taken in a short time in Beaufort Harbor ~
adjoining waters is so great as to make it evident that the number recorded (Jen-
kins gives 134) for the region will be greatly increased when systematic collecting
has been carried on for a few years. Some 9 miles from Beaufort inlet the coast
line makes a sharp right-angled bend, with Cape Lookout at the angle. From the
end of the cape a narrow line of shoals extends much farther out. The cape and
its submerged continuation form a wall, as it were, reaching seaward for 15 miles,
Cape Lookout itself is so shaped as to embrace a bay, a quiet and beautiful sheet ©
of water, Looxout Bight. Thecoastconfiguration thus forms a remarkable natural
trap into which fish migrating northward fall. It is doubtful whether a better.
place can be found anywhere on our coast for the carrying out of observations on
oceanic species and on bay and river species during the oceanic period of their life. —
The seining at Cape Lookout has | een extremely interesting and successful, both
as regards the variety of forms and the number of individuals taken.

-

It is a source of great satisfaction to the Commission and to biolo-—
gists that at the last session of Congress an act was passed providing
for the establishment of a permanent station on the coast of North
Carolina, at which the biological problems connected with the marine-
fishery interests of the South Atlantic region may be investigated.

MISCELLANEOUS MARINE AND FRESH-WATER INQUIRIES.

SPECIAL LOBSTER AND CLAM INVESTIGATIONS.

In the urgent deficiency bill approved February 9, 1900, provision
was made for special investigations having for their object the insti-
tution of measures for the arrest of the serious decline in the lobster
and clam fisheries, which has been referred to in previous reports of
the Commission. The intelligent consideration of the condition of
these important fisheries and the steps needed to reverse the present
downward tendency involve a comprehensive study of their history,
methods, regulation, etc., but it has been apparent that the chief aid
which can be rendered by the General Government lies in the direction
of increased production through artificial means.

The hatching of lobsters on a large scale is a comparatively simple
matter; but the rearing of the young to a point where they leave their
_ defenseless free-swimming stage and assume the habits of the adult is
a difficult problem which has heretofore not been successfully solved.
With regard to the clams—more especially the soft-shell species
(Mya arenaria)—it has seemed clear that the future of the industry
depended largely on the inauguration of planting methods similar to
those so successfully adopted with the oyster. This procedure presents
few difficulties and gives promise of large returns in a short time, at a
very small cost.

In April, 1900, the following special commission was created by the
Commissioner for the prosecution of the investigations authorized by
Congress: Dr. H. C. Bumpus, chairman; Mr. W. de C. Ravenel, Capt.
E. E. Hahn, and Dr. H. M. Smith, secretary. It is chiefly to the bio-
logical and cultural problems involved in the development of practicable
rearing methods that the commission will give attention. Already
some important and significant results have been attained.

MACKEREL.

The question of the existence of different races of mackerel (Scomber
scombrus) on the east coast of North America was studied by Mr.
M. C. Marsh in continuation of inquiries begun in the preceding year.
For the purpose of securing ample material, Mr. Marsh in July and
_ August visited several places in New England, and in Boston was able
to examine large series of specimens from the Canadian provinces.
- Special facilities were extended by Mr. J. R. Nealand Messrs. Potterand
Wrightington, of Boston, and Capt. A. W. Rich, of Provincetown.
In May Hon. E. G. Blackford, of New York, forwarded 200 mackerel
caught off New Jersey. About 2,000 specimens have now been exam- —
ined, and their detailed study justifies the following conclusions:

(1) The existence of a marked racial distinction between American
and British mackerel, as indicated by the studies of Mr. Walter
Garstang, is strongly confirmed.

(2) The evidence thus far accumulated fails to disclose the exist-

ence on the American coasts of distinct bodies of mackerel, charac-

terized by color or structural features, such as are found on the shores
of the British Isles. The examination of further material from
extreme southern and northern localities is desirable, however, before
the question can be considered settled.

Certain minor points in the relations of the characters have been
determined. Thus a decrease in the number of dorsal spines with the
growth of the fish, as shown by Garstang’s material, holds good for
American fish, as does a correlation between the dorso-lateral spots
and the size of the fish, not exhibited by British mackerel. A pre-—
ponderance of male fish, in the ratio of 2 to 1,isshown. No selective
process, so far as known, would account for this disparity in the
material examined. |

COBBOSSEECONTEE AND SEBAGO LAKES, MAINE.

The study of the fish fauna of Sebago Lake by Dr. W. C. Kendall,
referred to in the last report, was continued during July and part
of August, 1899. Hon. L. T. Carleton, chairman of the State board of
fish commissioners, having expressed a desire that the character
of the fish life of Lake Cobbosseecontee be determined, Dr. Kendall
devoted the last two weeks of August to this investigation.

Cobbosseecontee is the largest of a connected group of lakes in Ken-
nebee County, the other important ones being Amabessacook and
Maranacook. It is irregular in shape, about 9 miles long, 0.5 to 2.8
miles wide, and consists of two wide areas connected by a narrow
portion. The shores are mostly rocky, with a few sandy beaches and
a swamp at the southern end, through which several inlets pass. The
lake discharges into Kennebec River through a small stream.

The fishes of the lake are not numerous as to species, but are as to
individuals. Among the most abundant are the small-mouthed black
bass (Micropterus dolomieu) and the white perch (Morone americana).
The latter are protected by law and reach a large size, some weighing
3 pounds having been caught. Schools containing thousands of the
season’s young, from 3 to 6 inches long, were noticed along the sandy
shores, where the black bass were feeding on them. Trout (Salvelinus
fontinalis) are fairly common, reach a weight of 8 pounds, and afford
good fishing in spring. Salmon (Salmo sebago) have been planted in
the lake, but not with much success, as but few have been caught.
The character of the lake water seems to be well suited to the salmon,
whose apparent inability to maintain itself naturally may be due t
restricted spawning-grounds and the abundance of predaceous fishes.
An interesting ichthyological discovery is the existence in the lake of
the brook stickleback (Hucalia inconstans), which has not heretofore
been known from Maine waters. Other fishes found in the lake ar
the hornpout (Ameiwrus nebulosus), sucker ( Catostomus commersonit),
chubs (Semotilus corporalis and S. atromaculatus), roach, locally calle
herring (Abramis crysoleucas), eel (Anguilla chrysypa), smelt (Osme
rus abbottc), pickerel (Lucius reticulatus), long-eared sunfish (Lepomis

auritus), common sun-fish (Hupomotis gibbosus), yellow perch (Perca
flavescens), and five other minor species, which raise to twenty-one the
list of forms known from the lake.

SENECA LAKE, NEW YORK.

This is one of the largest of the interior lakes of New York. No
critical examination of its fish fauna appears to have been made,
although it is extensively resorted to by anglers, has certain ichthyo-
logical features of special interest, and at one time or another has
supported commercial fisheries of some importance. It also appears
to be a field in which fish-cultural work may profitably be conducted.
In August, 1899, a brief visit to the lake was made by Dr. H. M.
Smith for the purpose of determining the nature and abundance of
the fish life, and arrangements were made by which the fishes were
“collected throughout the year. When the extent of the fauna has
been fully determined, a special report on the fishes of the lake will
be issued. Meanwhile, a few notes on the principal species will here
ye given.

Seneca Lake is about 36 miles long and 1 to 4 miles wide, with a
maximum depth of 500 to 600 feet. The lake, whose surface is about
450 feet above sea level, occupies an eroded valley flanked by bold
h: bills. It is fed by small streams and discharges into Lake Ontario by
means of Seneca River, Cayuga Lake, and Oswego River.

Various forms of commercial fishing are permitted in the lake, as
Shown by the following extract from the fishery law of New York:
It shall be lawful to fish in waters of Seneca Lake with nets or seines, the meshes
of which shail not be less than a 2-inch bar, from the 15th day of April to the 15th
ay of August, both inclusive. It shall also be lawful to fish with spears in the
vaters of Seneca Lake for all fish except black bass from the 15th day of April to
the 15th day of June, both inclusive.

“The number of species of fishes known to inhabit Seneca Lake is
small in comparison with the number recorded from the neighboring
Cayuga Lake by Dr. Meek,* although further inquiry will doubtless
- show the existence of a considerable number of other species. The
0c urrence in the lake of about 50 species has thus far been deter-
nined by the writer, of which about a third are food-fishes.

_ The alewife (Pomolobus pseudoharengus) is one of the most abun-
a wnt fishes of the lake. The presence of this anadromous species
|has given rise to much speculation, such as has been indulged in
ith regard to the alewife in Lake Ontario and other New York lakes.
3 | os generally believed that this species was introduced into Seneca
Lake by Seth Green about 1872, but there is evidence to prove that
iS early as 1868 it had, probably unassisted, reached the lake. The
¢ hief interest now attached to the species is the annual mortality to

which it is subject, as in Lake Ontario, large numbers dying each
summer and causing much annoyance by decaying on the lake shores. —

The lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) is rather common, reaches
a large size, and is caught with lines and spears. Several species of
white-fish exist here. The common white-fish (Coregonus clupetformis)
was formerly numerous, but for about 15 years has been compara-
tively scarce. Another species, locally known as the ‘‘ greenback,”
is rather abundant. <A rare species is the ‘‘smelt” (Argyrosomus
osmeriformis), known only from this lake and Skaneateles Lake.

The small-mouthed black bass (Aficropterus dolomieu) is very abun-
dant, as are also the rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris) and the sun-fish
(EHupomotis gibbosus). The yellow perch (Perca flavescens) is numer- —
ous and reaches a large size, examples from deep water weighing 2
pounds. The wall-eyed pike was formerly abundant, but disappeared
about the time the common white-fish became scarce, and is now prac-
tically absent. The remaining species include pickerel (Lucius), eel
(Anguilla chrysypa), two or three suckers, about eight kinds of min-
nows, all of which are abundant, two species of cat-fish, and several
darters. A very destructive species is the lamprey (Petromyzon
marinus unicolor), which attacks cat-fish, pickerel, black bass, and
other species, and kills many of them.

WEST VIRGINIA.

Investigations begun in West Virginia in 1899 had for their object
the determination of the character of the fish life of the several large
river basins draining into the Atlantic Ocean and into the Missis-
sippi River. <A party in charge of Mr. W. P. Hay entered the State
in July and remained for a little more than two months, during which
time numerous streams were examined in the basins of the Mononga-
hela, Potomac, Greenbrier, and Elk rivers. Special attention was given
‘ to the Monongahela, of which about sixty tributaries were visited,
chiefly by team, including the Cheat, Blackwater, Buckhannon, and
other rivers. Large collections of the fishes of each stream were made,
and extensive notes on the nature of the fish fauna were taken. |

As a rule the streams of the Monongahela basin are swift, coo
with rocky beds and numerous falls, and naturally well adapted to
sustain fish life. It appears that within comparatively recent years
they have been able to sustain large numbers of the finest kinds of
food-fishes, but at present the fishes are far from abundant and are >
becoming scarcer each year. The agencies which have cooperated |
to destroy the fishes are clearing of forests, reduction of food supply
by changes in the character of the banks, pollution of the water in
various ways, logging operations, dynamiting and damming to fit the +
streams for log ‘‘ running,” and several others, mostly incident to the »
industrial development of the country. :

It is the purpose to continue the exploration of the streams of this +
State, giving special attention to those of the southwestern part trib-
utary to the Ohio. |

LAKE ERIE.

The systematic study of the biological features of Lake Erie was
resumed on July 1 and actively prosecuted for two months under the
direction of Prof. Jacob Reighard, of the University of Michigan.
Those assisting in the work were Prof. H. B. Ward, of the University
of Nebraska; Dr. H. 8. Jennings, of Dartmouth College; Dr. Julia
Snow, of the University of Michigan; Mr. R. H. Pond, of the Uni-
versity of Michigan; Mrs. H. 8. Jennings, Mr. J. H. MeClellan, Dr.
Charles Hill, and Mr. A. B. Lewis. The hatching station of the Com-
mission at Put-in Bay was used as a laboratory as heretofore, and was
the headquarters of the party. Those who pursued studies at Put-in
Bay were Dr. Jennings, Dr. Snow, and Mr. Pond.

Dr. Jennings resumed the studies in which he was engaged in the
| previous year, namely, experimental investigations of the reactions
of the protozoa of the lake to stimuli. The principles underlying the
movements of these small organisms are probably applicable to the
higher animals, including young fishes. Three papers of Dr. Jen-
nings, based on this work, have appeared in the American Journal of
Physiology for January and April, 1900, and the American Naturalist
for the latter month.

_ Dr. Snow continued the investigations of the previous season, iden-
tifying numerous species of alge and determining the life-histories
of several, especially those occurring in the plankton. The nature of
Dr. Snow’s investigations are thus stated by Professor Reighard:
on order to have any permanent knowledge of the plankton alge it is necessary
at they be cultivated in the same manner as bacteria in culture media of differ-
ont sorts. When so cultivated, it is found thatalgze assume different forms. The
lifferent forms of the same algz also occur in nature, and have been in many cases
described as distinct species. We can not know what species are present in the

lake until the life-history of each has been worked out so that we may know the
various forms that it assumes.

Mr. Pond considered the question of the nutrition of the larger
aquatic plants, conducting some work at the University of Michigan
after the close of the Lake Erie work. The nature and importance of
the subject studied by Mr. Pond are thus stated by the director:

It is the purpose of this investigation to find out whether the rooted aquatic
plants use their roots chiefly as anchors, as has been hitherto supposed, and draw
their nutrition wholly from the water, or whether they are nourished like other
] ants largely through the roots. In order to determine this point Mr. Pond
cultivated one of the species of plants common at Put-in Bay under two sets of
c ot. e., so that the roots were in the soil and so that the roots were
iable to reach the soil. Some of the plants were grown in aquaria in the labor-
at y; while others were grown in the lake. The results in both cases were very
{ st king, and showed that in a comparatively short time plants that were rooted
n the soil made a gain of about 30 per cent over those that were not thus rooted,
If this rule holds for other species of plants it is a matter of considerable practical
im aportance. If rooted plants draw their nourishment only from the water they
| nothing to the sum total of the primary food supply of the water. They take
certain materials from the water for their growth and return these materials to

132 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

the water again when they decay. If on the other hand the rooted plants draw
nourishment from the soil, when they decay this material or a part of it passes
into solution in the water. Thus the plants would serveas a continual go-between
between the soil and the water, extracting from the soil and adding to the water
plant food materials. These food materials would then serve for the nutrition of
the aquatic algze, upon which all of the animals of the water depend either directly
or indirectly for their food.

During August a 90-foot steam yacht was hired and used in trans-
porting from point to point a camping party in charge of Dr. Hill,
engaged in collecting animal forms along the shores of the lake. Mr.
Lewis gave special attention to the parasites of the lake fishes. All the
organs of each fish examined were systematically searched for para-
sites, the results recorded, and the parasites preserved. Mr. McClel-
lan collected bryozoa, flatworms, and leeches, and Dr. Hill and Dr.
Jennings the remaining invertebrates. The material preserved, which
is without doubt the most complete invertebrate collection from the
region, has been distributed to well-known specialists for identification,
including Prof. E. A. Birge, of the University of Wisconsin; Dr. J. P.
Moore, of the University of Pennsylvania; Dr. C. M. Child and Dr.
C. B. Davenport, of the University of Chicago, and Mr. Raymond —
Pearl, of the University of Michigan. |

The hired vessel was also employed in work on the plankton, unde
the immediate charge of Professor Reighard and Dr. Ward, and many
deep-water hauls were made. The steamer Shearwater, belonging to
the Commission, was likewise used to a limited extent.

Mrs. Jennings was engaged as artist and gave her time to making
pen-and-ink and water-color drawings of alge and living animals, —
especially those which do not retain their colors in the ordinary pre-_
serving fluids. Mrs. Jennings’s work, which is of a high grade, has
been placed in the hands of those who are studying the various groups.

WABASH BASIN, INDIANA.

In the summer of 1899 the Commission entered on a systematic
study of the physical and biological features of the Wabash River |
and its tributary lakes and streams, under the direction of Prof. B.
Evermann. Some inquiries were made in behalf of the Commissior
by members of the biological station of the Indiana University at
Winona Lake, at Bass Lake in Starke County, and Bruce Lake and!
Tippecanoe River in Fulton County, and several other waters were”
also examined; but the principal work of the season was addressed
to Lake Maxinkuckee, in Marshall County. In view of the intimate)
relations which exist between the fishes, other animals, and plants of
a lake, it seemed desirable for the Commission to make a compre
hensive survey of some small body of water representative of the»
numerous lakes of glacial origin in the Upper Mississippi Valley
Maxinkuckee was selected as being typical of that class, and, in
addition, is conveniently located, is a popular resort for fishermen
and has a rich fauna and flora.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 133

Investigations were begun July 1 and continued until the latter
part of October. Professor Evermann was assisted by Dr. J.T. Sco-
vell, Prof. C. H. Kigenmann, Messrs. T. B. Evermann, R. 8. Gillum,
C. Juday, Leonard Young, and T. Large. Both the biological and
physical conditions of the lake were carefully studied, and much
useful information was collected for the period mentioned. Many
lines of soundings, with conjoint temperature observations, were
run across the lake, and the location and extent of the bars and deep
holes were determined. A sounding machine adapted for use from
a rowboat was especially designed and constructed for this work.
Material for cataloguing most of the groups of animals of the lake
was collected, and many data were obtained regarding the habits,
distribution, food, growth, abundance, ete., of the various animals,
the fishes naturally receiving most attention. The species of plants
in the lake were determined, together with the maximum and minimum
depth at which each is found; many of the patches of vegetation on
the bottom were mapped out, and the animals associated with each
kind of plant were noted, Itis proposed to continue the investigations
and provide for observations at other seasons of the year.

LAKE MATTAMUSKEET, NORTH CAROLINA.

In the winter of 1899-1900, while the Mish Hawk was engaged in
surveying the oyster-grounds of Pamlico Sound, Dr. John D. Milligan,
of the vessel, was detailed to visit Lake Mattamuskeet and determine

the nature of its fish fauna and the fisheries therein prosecuted. A
number of trips were made, specimens were collected by means of a

_fine-meshed seine, and information was obtained by personal observa-

‘tion and from the people living near the shores. Although the winter

is an unfavorable time for examining the lake, much information was

‘gathered and a good idea of the character of the fish life was obtained.
The following account is taken from Dr. Milligan’s report:

_ This, the largest lake in North Carolina, is situated in Hyde County; its length
is 14 miles and its greatest width 7 miles. The water is very shallow, being only
24 feet deep over a large part and having a maximum depth of 7 feet in the
middle of the western end. In winter and early spring the lake is muddy and
‘Toily, owing to strong winds stirring the bottom and to the suspension of light soil
and vegetable matter brought from the swamps and farm lands; but in summer the
_ water is generally clear, with a brownish color, and is what is known as‘‘ juniper
' water.” The bottom is mostly of fine sand mixed with mud, and is fairly hard.
This section was at one time inhabited by a tribe of Indians, and the lake has
_Teceived the tribal name of Mattamuskeet. The Indian tradition as to the origin
“of the lake—which is the popular one to-day—is that it was due to a fire which
irned many months, affecting a far larger area than is now covered by the lake.
m support of this thecry the people point out the blackened and water-worn
press stumps everywhere abundant near the shores, and argue that the
‘surrounding territory, being swampy and peuty and covered with cypress trees, is
en now liable to have just such another fire. Prof. J. A. Holmes, of the North
| Carolina Geological ‘Survey, states that this tradition is untenable and that
_Mattamuskeet, like others with the same story of origin—Lake Drummond, in
he Dismal Swamp, for instance—is a natural lake.

1384 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The lake is fed by draining from swamps and farm lands and discharges through
a canal which begins near Lake Landing on the southeast shore and ends in Yeo-
socking Bay, Pamlico Sound. The northern and western shores are swampy and
marshy, while on the south and east there are extensive farms, generally dry and
very fertile. Cypress and willow trees form an almost continuous border around
the lake and grow far out into it.

The lake supports but little sport fishing and no market fishing, although con
siderable quantities of fish are taken for local consumption with rod and line and
gill net. The turbid and brown water renders the nets less conspicuous and this
increases their effectiveness.

While the variety of food-fishes found in the lake is rather small, it embraces a
number of first-class species. The most highly prized and the most important
from a local standpoint is the white perch (Morone americana), which is exceed-
ingly abundant, reaches a large size, and occurs everywhere in the lake and drain
age ditches. The yellow perch (Perca jflavescens), locally called ‘‘redfin,” is also
abundant, but less so than formerly. The blue bream (Lepomis pallidus) is very
common and ranks next to the white perch in popular estimation. The large
mouth black bass (Micropterus salmoides) , having the local names of ‘‘chub” and
‘‘welshman,” is present in considerable numbers. The pike (Lucius reticulatus)
attains a large size and is numerous, and the pickerel ( Lucius americanus), called
‘*jack,” also occurs. Cat-fish (Ameiurus catus, and doubtless other species) and
eels are abundant. The latter are not much used, although at one time a religious
sect called ‘‘ The Sanctified ” made a business of catching eels in the lake and ship
ping them north.

The only effort to stock the lake seems to have been with carp, about 10 years
ago, and was fairly successful, although the fish is not highly regarded in the
community. After the West Indian hurricane in August, 1899, a cartload of
large carp was found in a hole near the south shore of the lake.

Other species found in the lake are the little sun-fish (Hnneacanthus gloriosus)
the common sun-fish or puipkin-seed (Hupomotis gibbosus), the darter (Boleich-
thys fusiformis) , the roach or shiner ( Abramis chrysoleucas) , the stone cat (Noturu:
gyrinus), the dog-fish (Amia calva), the hog-choker (Achirus fasciatus), thi
silverside (Menidia beryllina), and minnow (Notropis).

Besides fishes, shrimp (Palcemonetes) and crayfish (Cambarus) are abundant
and the blue crab (Callinectes) has been found in the canal and in the lake nea
the outlet. Turtles and terrapin abound, and water snakes are numerous, the
‘‘moccasin” (Tropidonotus) being most plentiful. Alligators are present, bu
are not common.

During the first half of the fiscal year Mr. Cloudsley Rutter resumed |
his special study of the chinook salmon of the Sacramento Basin, and |
at the same time carried on an investigation of the general fish faun
of the region. He also visited the headwaters of many of the easter
tributaries of the Sacramento River, where no salmon run, and mad
interesting observations on the fishes and large collections. Betweei
December and July Mr. Rutter was engaged in laboratory work, stud}
ing the collections, preparing his reports, and compiling data for a
article on the embryology of the salmon as a part of the monograp
on the life-history of the species now in course of preparation. .

In continuation of the ichthyological examinations of the Pacifi¢
coast, referred to in previous reports, a party under charge of Prof.!
Charles H. Gilbert, of Stanford University, visited the streams between

field work began on July | and continued until September 27. The
results of this season’s investigations will be combined with those of
1897, when a similar party explored the coastal streams between San
Francisco and the Oregon line. A report on this work is shortly
expected from Dr. Gilbert.

Dr. P. H. Kirsch continued his volunteer services in determining
the fish fauna of the San Pedro River, devoting a few weeks to the
work in the summer of 1899. Only a short stretch of the river now
remains to be canvassed, and on its completion a report on the fishes
of this interesting tributary of the Colorado will be issued.

AQUATIC FAUNA OF PORTO RICO.

The extensive collections made by the /ish Hawk in Porto Rico in
the winter of 1898-99 have been distributed among specialists for
study and report, with a view to the publication of a comprehensive
work on the animals found in the fresh and salt waters of the island.
The absence of information regarding the water fauna, the influx of
new people, and the inevitable development of the fishing industry,
appeared tothe Commission to warrant the publication of a work con-
taining descriptions of the animals and illustrations of many of the
most important, so that it might be possible for those persons not
experts to identify them. The specimens representing the following
groups were assigned to the specialists named:

Fishes and other vertebrates, Prof. B. W. Evermann and Mr. M. C.

THE ALBATROSS SOUTH SEA EXPEDITION.

By H. F. Moors, Naturalist of the Albatross.

In advance of the complete reports of the scientific expedition to
_the South Seas of the U.S. Fish Commission steamer Albatross, which
‘will be published in the Bulletin of this Commission, the following
outline of the cruise is submitted:

The vessel, under the command of Commander Jefferson F. Moser,
U.S. N., sailed from San Francisco on August 23, 1899. The scien-
tific work was under the direction of Mr. Alexander Agassiz, assisted
by a civilian staff composed of Messrs. A. G. Mayer and W. MeM.
Woodworth, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology; Mr. Maximilian
Agassiz, of Newport, and Messrs. C. H. Townsend, H. F. Moore, A. B.
Alexander, and H. C. Fassett, of the Fish Commission. The naval
officers attached to the ship at all times showed great interest in the
_ work of the expedition and furthered it by all means in their power.
They were Lieuts. Hugh Rodman and B. K. MeMorris, Ensigns A. J
Hepburn, C. R. Miller, and C. 8S. Kempff, Surgeon J. C. Pryor, and
Paymaster Grey Skipwith.

Between San Francisco and Nukahiva, in the Marquesas Archi-
pelago, the first objective point, 26 soundings were made, resulting
in the development of a basin from 2,500 to 3,100 fathoms deep, lying
between latitudes 24° 30’ N. and 6° 25’ N., and probably extending at
_ least between longitudes 120° W. and 140° W. For this great oceanic
depression Mr. Agassiz has proposed the name of Moser Basin. ‘The
floor of the Pacific over this depression, as, indeed, in a larger part
of the deep waters explored by the Albatross, appears to be pretty
completely covered with a deposit of red clay and manganese. The
character of the deposit varies at different stations, being sometimes
in the form of slabs, but more often composed of rounded nodules of
various sizes up to 6 inches in diameter, sometimes smooth and some-
times mammilated, and often inclosing or partially inclosing the teeth
of sharks and the hard ear-bones of cetaceans. In the deep waters
where the manganese is not found the bottom consists usually of
globigerina ooze, gradually changing to pteropod ooze as the depths
decrease, then to fine and finally to coarse coral sand as the coral
islands are approached, or to voleaniec mud and volcanic sand in the
vicinity of voleanic groups like the Marquesas and Society islands.
On the morning of September 14, 22 days out of San Francisco, the

high island of Ua-Huka, in the Marquesas Group, was sighted, and
@ ; P Pa . 137

the afternoon of that day and the early hours of the following morn-
ing were spent in sounding and using the beam trawl and tow nets in
the channel between that island and Nukahiva. Between the islands
a depth of 830 fathoms was found and the trawl hauls developed an
apparently rich bottom, but the nets were so badly damaged by the
rocks that comparatively few specimens were obtained.

At 9.30 a. m. on September 15 the anchor was let go in the harbor
of Tai-o-hae, Nukahiva Island. This harbor, with a comparatively
narrow entrance, is surrounded by high hills sloping almost from the
water’s edge, and has the appearance of an ancient crater, the seaward
walls of which have broken down and admitted the waters of the
Pacific. Tai-o-hae is the seat of the French government in the Mar-
quesas Islands, and the members of the expedition were received with
great kindness by the government officials and residents. _ Two days.
were spent in coaling and the members of the scientific staff utilized
the time in making collections on shore. The natives in the vicinity
of Tai-o-hae have adopted many of the outward forms of civilization,
and many of them live in houses of European architecture of a simple
type. In the interior, however, more of the ancient life is to be seen
and houses of pure native construction, invariably built on stone
platforms, are common, in fact, almost universal. In the forests are
found the sites of many old villages, now overgrown with large trees
and in some cases almost hidden by vegetation.

The population of the island is decreasing, probably as a result of
changes in their mode of life and the introduction of diseases unknown
before the advent of the whites, and as a rule the people are subdued
in demeanor and apparently convinced that their race is doomed to
extinction. The Marquesas Islanders are among the few South Sea
Islanders (of whom the ancient dwellers on Easter Island are the most
notable) possessing the art of stone carving. Several specimens of
rude idols were seen, and the members of the party who had the best
opportunity for observing are of the opinion that they are still objects
of some veneration, if not of worship.

About noon on September 17 anchor was weighed and the Albatross
stood out of the harbor for the northwestern end of the Paumotu
Archipelago, en route to Tahiti. Soundings were made on this line |
which, when considered in connection with those obtained before
reaching Nukahiva, appear to indicate that the submarine plateau
from which the Marquesas Islands arise has a depth of about 2,000
fathoms and a width of 50 miles.

On September 20 Ahii, the first of the low islands, was sighted and
before noon of the following day the ship, under the pilotage of a
native, entered the lagoon of Rairoa, through Avatoru Pass, and came
to anchor. Three days were spent in examining the atoll and making
collections. A line of soundings was run across the lagoon, which
is the largest in the Paumotus, developing the fact that it has a prac-
tically level floor with a depth not exceeding 20 fathoms. ‘This line ~

Was subsequently extended seaward at each end for a distance of
several miles, in order to develop the submarine insular slope.

After leaving Rairoa the atolls of Mataiwa and Tikehau were exam-
ined from the ship and a landing for a few hours was made at Makatea,
an elevated coral island of considerable interest. The cruise was then
continued to Tahiti, in the Society Islands, where coal and supplies
were to be obtained for the cruise through the Paumotus.

Tahiti was sighted at daylight on September 27 and the anchor
dropped in Papeete Harbor on the afternoon of the same day. A
week was spent at this port in coaling, laying in supplies, and making

minor repairs and overhauling the engine. The naturalists of the

party utilized the time in collecting on shore and on the reefs. The
harbor is protected from the sea by a barrier reef, part of a long stretch
which practically encircles the island, changing from fringing reef to
barrier reef, and conversely, as it establishes or loses its connection
with the main island. Opposite Papeete the reef is interrupted by a
pass, one of many which occur at intervals, through which shipping
gains access to the harbor. Papeete is the seat of the French colonial
government in the South Sea Islands. It has a garrison of about 200
men, and a cruiser is usually lying in the harbor. The United States
and several European governments are represented here by consuls,
who are accredited to the French South Sea possessionsasawhole. The
population is said to be about 5,000, of whom a large number are whites
engaged in trade or connected with the government of the island.

On October 5 the Albatross sailed from Papeete for a cruise through
the Paumotu Archipelago, during the course of which Makatea was
revisited and about twenty-five other islands, of which Pinaki was the
easternmost, were examined. During this cruise much information
was gathered concerning the formation of the islands of the Paumotus,

which furnish a fairly complete series, from the typical atolls like

Rairoa to the elevated coral plateau of Makatea.

A landing was made at Makatea and a party crossed the island to
a village on the east side. The top of the coral table-land exhibited a
slight depression in the interior, and the rocks are eroded by subaerial

. agencies into a picturesque diversity of caverns, small canyons, and

pinnacles, unlike anything seen elsewhere on the cruise. ‘The pre-
cipitous walls, which in places rise sheer from the sea, and elsewhere
are fringed with narrow beaches and reef flats, by their terraces and
lines of caverns eroded by the waves, indicate that the island has
passed through four periods of elevation. The cliffs are most precipi-
tous on the weather side, and the terraces best developed on the more
sheltered shores. The vegetation is richer and more varied than on
the low islands of the Paumotus subsequently visited.

Stops varying in length from six days to an hour or two were made
at a number of the islands, and wherever opportunities occurred
collections were made by the naturalists of the expedition. The
trawl and dredge hauls, which were in depths of from 725 to 2,440

140 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

fathoms, yielded but meager results, and the surface and intermediate
tow nets also took but little. The collecting on the reefs and in the
shallow water was unproductive, as compared with similar collections
in the West Indies, although some interesting forms occurred in con-
siderable abundance. About 100soundings were made in this part of
the cruise, and the contour of the bottom and the extent of the main
Paumotu plateau west of Pinaki were fairly delineated.

In that part of the Paumotu Archipelago visited by the Albatross
the natives showed, in their habitations, boats, utensils, and mode of
life, the influence of somewhat intimate contact with the whites. On
some of the larger islands are stationed gens d’armes, the local repre-
sentatives of the French colonial government, and traders and mis-
sionaries are found almost everywhere. Nukatavake was the only
island where the expedition noted any approach to primitive condi-
tions, and the stop there was too short to enable the members of the
party to make more than the most casual observations. It is prob-
able that in the eastern islands more of the old life obtains than in
those parts of the archipelago in more immediate communication with
Tahiti. The people are much under the influence of missionaries,
mostly Tahitians, although some are whites, and while their morality
is perhaps not all that could be desired, they exhibit considerable zeal
in their religious observances and some rivalry between the various
sects. At Pakaka, on Apataki, with a population of perhaps 200, the
members of the expedition observed four churches, and were informed
that there was one more, a representation which it would be difficult
to duplicate in a village of the same size in the United States.

Three days were spent at anchor in the lagoon off Rotoava on
Fakarava, where is located the French residency for the Paumotu
Archipelago. Like most of the larger villages of the eastern Paumo-
tus, Rotoava is well kept, with a broad main road shaded by cocoanut
trees stretching along the lagoon front, the coral soil compacted to a .
smoothness resembling concrete. The usual collections and observa-
tions were made and the ship sailed on October 14. A stop of very
short duration was made at Anaa, an island rich in cocoanut trees
and supporting the densest population in the archipelago. A curious
fish trap or weir, constructed of coral rocks, was observed on the
reefs at this place, the fish being removed from it at low water with
dip nets. The lagoon of Anaa is one of great beauty, and its brilliant
colors reflected on the clouds were visible many miles away, long
before the island itself was sighted.

After leaving Anaa the islands of Tahanea, Tuanaka, Raroia,
Takume, and Taenga were visited, but the first stop, six days, was
made at Makemo, where bad weather delayed the arrival of a coal
supply ordered from Papeete. The naval officers utilized the enforced
stay in making a survey of Northeast Pass and its anchorage, which
have been inadequately charted, and in carrying on magnetic and
astronomical observations of value to mariners. The reef flat in the

sea face of Makemo is narrower than at Rairoa, and its outer edge is

extremely rugged, with gnarled tongues of nullipore-covered rock
thrust seaward, leaving between them gullies in which the water wells
with the surf. In places where the end walls of the gullies are abrupt
the heavy swells, which roll almost unceasingly in this region of the
trades, dash vertically aloft in spouts sometimes 20 feet or more in
height. The nullipores grow most luxuriantly in those parts of the reef
which are reached by the spray, and consequently the sea verge of the
reef is raised above the level of the flats behind, and around the
blowholes there is usually a partial rim, which slopes away like the
flanks of a crater. At Makemo and nearly all islands where the outer

edge of the reef has a nullipore ridge with a comparatively narrow
“reef flat behind there is a channel about a foot in depth, through

which the water dashed over the rim flows in rather swift currents
parallel with the shore, until it finds a lateral channel permitting it
to flow back to the sea. In some places at Makemo, Fakarava, and
elsewhere this canal is incompletely eroded, and consists of a net-
work of small channels from 6 to 18 inches in depth, where the sand
and fragments of coral rock washed back and forth by the currents
show clearly the mechanical agents by which the scouring out of the
ledge rock has been effected. At Makemo there is also a narrow cut,
as yet but 2 to 4 feet deep, through which the tide rushes into the
lagoon at high water and which is doubtless a pass in embryo. A
contemplation of this and various other cuts in different stages of
formation was convincing that passages through the rims of atolls are,
at least sometimes, formed by erosion rather than by discontinuity in
the growth of corals. After the cut has once reached a depth where
the sea has access to it at or near low water the cutting away of the
rocks must proceed more rapidly, as swift currents are continually
discharging through the gaps on the lee side of the atolls the vast

- quantities of water which the waves wash over the low rims of reef

on the weather side. In some of the passes of the Paumotus there is
a current of 7 or 8 knots flowing from the lagoon seaward which is
sometimes merely checked and not reversed, even at high water.

- Hikueru was visited principally for the purpose of examining the
pearl fishery in the lagoon, which has no entrance sufficiently deep to
float even a large boat, the small sloops and catboats used in the
fishery being dragged and carried over low places in the reefs. The
lagoon is opened to fishing one year out of three, when the small resi-
dent population is augmented by a heavy influx from most of the
Paumotu Islands and some of the Society group—at the time of the
visit of the Albatross it being estimated that over 3,000 persons were
on the island. The fishery is carried on entirely by naked native
divers—men, women, and the larger children. The men frequently
go to a depth of 15 fathoms, staying under water from two to three
minutes, and the best divers are said to sometimes reach a depth of
20 fathoms. ‘The members of the party saw a man bring up several

142 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

shells from water 14 fathoms deep, after an immersion of two minutes
and forty seconds. The yield of mother-of-pearl! is large, but appar-
ently decreasing. Pearls are not so frequently found here as in other
islands of the archipelago where the shells are less abundant.

After leaving Hikueru a stop was made at Nukatavake, as before
mentioned, and a landing was also made at Pinaki, where the lagoon
was found almost inclosed, shoal, with over 100 small islets of
Tridacna shells, and apparently in process of filling up. |

From Pinaki the Albatross went to the Gloucester Islands, where
valuable observations were made, and then via Mehetia to Tahiti.

On November 6 the expedition again arrived at Papeete, where it
remained until November 15, coaling and refitting. During both
this and the first visit the expedition was received with much cour-
tesy by the people of Papeete, who, in addition to the extension of
hospitality, in a number of cases provided facilities and rendered
assistance to the members of the party in carrying on their work. In
addition to the shore and reef collection, several members of the
party examined most of the valleys in the vicinity of Papeete, and
made soundings and observations in Lake Vaihiria. The population
of the island is restricted to a narrow fringe around the coast, the
interior, with its high peaks and narrow spurs, separating equally
narrow valleys, being ill adapted to the temperament and necessities
of an ease-loving people like the Polynesians. A road, mostly in
good condition, encircles the island, and, with the sea, affords the sole
means of communication. The reef skirting Tahiti is principally of
the barrier type, sheltering a channel from the sea and affording a
smooth passage for small craft navigating the coast. In some places
the channel is of sufficient depth to afford passage and harbor to
vessels drawing 15 feet, and the steamers, which come several times
a year to load fruits for the Australasian colonies, are able to take
berths near the plantations from which they draw their supplies.

The soil of Tahiti, as is usual in volcanic islands, is fertile and the —
vegetation luxuriant. Cotton and sugar are produced, but appear to
be less important than formerly. Coffee grows almost within reach of
the sea. There is an increasing production of vanilla, which is said to
be of excellent quality, and the oranges grown on the island are unsur-
passed. The plantations are all on the strip of lowland along the
coast and in the lower and broader portions of the numerous valleys
which furrow the island radially from the high interior. Papeete,
the capital, has a trade of some importance, being the distributing
point for the entire French South Sea Establishments and the port of
transhipment of their products of copra and pear! shell.

The beauty of the island is unsurpassed by anything seen on the
cruise. Its high, rugged mountains, one exceeding and several others
almost equaling 7,000 feet in height, the many cascades and water-
falls plunging over precipitous valley walls or leaping from ledge to
ledge on the flanks of the ridges, its dales and valleys, with rapid

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 143

coursing streams and wealth of tropical verdure, form the elements
of a picture as rich in detail as it is bold in ensemble.

The shore line is fringed with cocoanut palms, and the small sandy
islands on the reef are given up to the culture of the same tree. Much
of the uncultivated land along the coast and in the lower parts of the
valleys is given up to dense thickets of guavas, which, since their intro-

. duction some years ago, have, together with the lantanas, spread with

such amazing rapidity that they have become a nuisance. In the
upper parts of the valleys the wild plantain, or ‘‘ fei,” with its great
upright bunches of fruit, as distinguished from the drooping bunches
of the banana, grows in abundance and is an important item in the
dietary of the natives, who carry it to their homes along the coast.

“Wild oranges, limes, and shaddocks are common and excellent in

quality; calladiums grow in the marshy spots; tradescantias in places
almost choke the streams; and along their damp margins, where level
tracts free of rocks occur, a species of wild ginger, the rhizomes of
which are used in making anative curry, grows in dense thickets, and
in November exhales a delicious aromatic odor from its flowers, just
peeping a few inches above the ground. Higher up the valleys dra-

’czenas and tree ferns occur, tillandsias and the bird’s-nest fern depend

from the larger trees; clambering vines, ereeping pandanus, and the
giant fern abound among the rocks; a variety of trees, including an
occasional sandalwood, clothe the hillsides, and a host of small and
delicate plants cling to the precipitous rock faces, where dripping
waters keep them perennially moist.

In the streams the gamy little perch-like Dula lies in the pools,
shrimps of the genus Atya court the shelter of stones and aquatic
vegetation, and a crab of the family Thelphuside@ scales the vertical
faces of the overhanging rocks with astonishing celerity and always
out of reach. A little kingfisher is always found along the streams

- and their dry beds, apparently depending more upon insects, which

os

it catches on the wing, than upon the usual food of its kind, and in
the woods are at least two species of pigeons and other smaller species.
A large hawk was also several times observed attempting to catch the
ducks which make Lake Vaihiria their home, but it is said to be an
imported species. High up the valleys the frigate bird is always to
be seen sailing about the almost inaccessible crags where it makes its
nest, and a little white tern is commonly seen in Tahiti, as at Nuka-
hiva, far inland, and occasionally resting upon the trees.

On the reefs the fauna is hardly more rich than in the Paumotus.
The living corals are in most places neither abundant nor varied.
The solitary fungia is scattered over the reef flats, in shoal water, and
there are patches of reef-forming corals about the edges of the dead
rock, and more or less impoverished-looking clusters on its submerged
top, but nowhere apparently are there flourishing masses such as were
seen in the pass at Rairoa. Gorgonians and Alcyonaria generally are
poorly represented in both the Society and Paumotu archipelagoes;

144 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

several species of starfish are common, but not abundant, and there
are 4 or 5 species of sea-urchins and several holothurians. A species
of Grapside is common about the rocks along the shore and exposed
on the reefs, and by raising the coral fragments and breaking them
in pieces several small crabs were found, together with stomatopods
and shrimps and prawns and other species of crustacea, and a num-
ber of worms were collected in the same manner, main less exten-
sively than in the Paumotus.

Tahiti proved interesting and attractive, especially on the second
visit, after the monotony of the atolls of the Paumotus, and it was
left with some regret on the morning of November 15.

Some of the Leeward Islands of the Society group were visited, with
anchorages overnight at Tahaa and Bora Bora, and a short stop was
made at Aitutake, in the Cook group. The Leeward Islands, like the
rest of the Society group, consist of bold and picturesque volcanic
peaks skirted by coral reefs and reef islets on a broad shore platform,
and Aitutaki resembles them, but its peaks are low and its structural
features in general on a smaller scale.

The next place visited was Niue, an isolated, elevated, coral island,
with bold precipitous terraced walls, rising to a height of from 150 to
200 feet above the sea. The surface of the island is comparatively
leveland less elaborately sculptured by erosion than is Makatea, which
it resembles in a general way. The vegetation is far inferior in
_luxuriance and variety to that of the Society Islands, but excels that
of the atolls of the Paumotus. Some attempt has been made to raise
sugar, but the fields did not look promising.

From Niue the Albatross steamed to latitude 21° 18’ S., longitude
173° 31' W., where a sounding and Blake trawl haul were made in
4,173 fathoms, the greatest depth at which a trawl has ever been used.
A: species of sponge, allied to a form before known only from com-
paratively shallow water, was taken. In latitude 21° 18’ S., longitude
173° 51’ W., a sounding of 4,540 fathoms was obtained.

Early in the morning of November 28 the magnificent cliffs of Eua
were sighted, and just before noon, after coasting the east, south, and
part of the west shores of the island, anchor was dropped in English
Roads, off Ohonua village. The east side of Eua presents the high-
est and finest coralliferous limestone cliffs seen during the cruise,
and they excited the admiration of all on board. Eua was left on the
following morning after an examination of its general features, and
a short run was made to Nukalofa, the capital of the Tonga Islands,
where the members of the expedition were kindly received by King
George, the officers of his government, and the people. The govern-
ment of the Tonga group is a limited monarchy under the control of
the natives, and the islands appear to be well conducted and orderly.
Tongatabu, on which the capital is situated, is somewhat elevated in
its southern part, but slopes gradually away to the northward, where
it is continued over the plateau as a number of small islets and reefs.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 145

The interior of the island is level and the soil apparently fertile and
eultivated more or less by the natives, who ship their fruits to the
i nglish colonies in Australasia. A large proportion of the people are
owners of a horse or two, which they use in their agricultural opera-
tions and for the transportation of their products to the coast.

The collections here were not extensive, as the reef and waters in the
neighborhood of the anchorage exhibited an unusual paucity of life.
A trip was made to the village of Hihifa, where there is a remarkuble
rookery of fruit bats, occupying about fifteen adjoining trees and
estimated to contain upward of 6,000 individuals. Although these
animals destroy considerable quantities of fruit, they are ‘‘tapu” and
under the immediate protection of the chief of Hihifa. They are not
permitted to be shot or molested in any manner, and it was only after
considerable negotiation that the members of the expedition were
allowed to catch three specimens, which were taken back to the ship
alive. Nowhere else on the cruise were fruit bats of this or any other
species found in colonies of more than a score.

After leaving Nukalofa, the Namuka and Vavau groups of the
Tonga Archipelago were visited and examined with relation to their
exposed and submarine structure. At Namuka Iki there is a small
area of stratified volcanic rock, soft and friable, and said to resemble
somewhat the so-called soapstone of the Fiji Islands. Namuka Iki
‘is the convict settlement of the Tonga Islands. A number of rude huts
were seen on the island, some of them showing indications of quite
recent habitation, and several recently cultivated yam plantations
were observed, but the inhabitants, who are few in number, kept out
of sight... Namuka Island, from Namuka Iki but a few miles distant,

is composed of uplifted coralliferous limestone, the weather shore
being extremely rugged and much eroded by the seas. In the interior
are several rounded eminences of moderate height, but upon exami-
nation these were also found to be composed of limestone.

Residents of Namuka stated that some of the islands of the group
are volcanic, and those seen from theshipappeared tobe. The Namuka
Group is, therefore, of mixed formation, partially volcanic and par-
tially of elevated coral limestone.
From Namuka the course lay between the western chain of volcanic
islands and the plateaus of the Namuka, Hapai, and Vavau groups.
Lette, of the voleanic chain, is still active and some of the others have
been the scene of recent activity. Falcon Island, which appeared -
_ above the sea in 1885 as a low voleano, with a cone of loosely com-
pacted ash and scoriz, had been entirely washed away by 1898 and
reduced to the condition of a breaking reef, much as it appeared when
first discovered in 1865.

No landings were made on the islands of the Hapai plateau, but some
of the westernmost were seen to be limestone islands of considerable
height. The Vavau Group, comprising the most northern islands of
the Tonga Archipelago, is one of picturesque beauty. The northern

part of the principal island, Vavau, is high and bold, with precipitous
shores, but it slopes away to the southward where it breaks up into
an intricate maze of headlands and islands, gradually decreasing in
size and height until they are lost beneath the sea as breaking reefs
on the southern edge of the plateau. This archipelago of islets is
evidently the eroded remnant of a single high coral island, of which
Vavau is the largest fragment, which formerly covered the entire
plateau and was, perhaps, connected with the Hapai Group.

The Albatross anchored at Neiafu, Vavau, on the morning of
December 4 and left in the afternoon of the following day. The har-
bor is well protected, but the water is rather deep. It is approached
through a fine fiord with precipitous coralliferous limestone walls,
from which a number of flat-topped rocks and islets have been cut off
by the erosive action of the sea. At Neiafu the rocky walls of the
fiord are interrupted and a broad slope extending into the interior
gives room for the village and an ample cultivated acreage behind it.
Several trading stations are situated along the cove, one on the star-
board side in entering being in a situation of almost idyllic beauty.

The island is generally well wooded and produces a variety of
fruits and vegetables. The natives are of the Maori race, like those
of Hawaii, Samoa, and the islands which the Albatross visited to the
eastward. Here, as in the other islands of the group, tapa, the bark
cloth of the South Seas, is produced in considerable quantities, and the
rap rap of the tapa club is leard everywhere and allday long. A few
corals were collected at Neiafu, but the other collections were poor.

From Vavau the vessel ran to the Fiji Islands, making a short stop
at Kambara in the Lau Group, and then proceeding to Suva, where
nine days were spent in refitting and coaling. A number of cases of
specimens were packed up and shipped from this port, previous ship-
ments having been made from Papeete.

Suva is the seat of the British Government in the Fiji islands, and
the expedition was kindly received by the colonial officials, who,
among other courtesies, provided an excellent guide and carriers for
a party which visited the interior. The town has a population of less
than 2,000, of whom a large proportion are whites. The harbor is
good, protected from the prevailing easterly winds by a high point
and from the swell of the open sea by a coral reef traversed by a deep
pass which forms the entrance. The anchorage is good, and vessels
of considerable draft can lie alongside the wharf. Extensive collec-
tions having been made by Mr. Agassiz on a former expedition to the
Fijis, but little collecting was done along the coast, and three mem-
bers of the party made an excursion into the interior of Viti Levu, the
principal island of the archipelago. :

This island is the largest and most populous visited by the Albatross.
Its interior is mountainous, but the peaks are neither so high nor steep
as those of Tahiti, about 4,000 feet being the greatest altitude, and
the valleys are broader. The principal river, the Rewa, entering th

sea a few miles east of Suva through an extensive delta, is a broad
stream navigable for light-draft steamers for a distance of 30 miles or
more from its mouth. Launches make daily trips from plantations
up the river to’Suva, and it is important as an avenue for the trans-
portation of cane to the mills, substantial steel barges towed by
launches being used for the purpose. The natives also carry their
fruit and produce on bamboo rafts, which are floated downstream to
the delta and thence to Suva. The valley of the Rewa is populous
and fertile, and a number of plantations are located on its banks.
Oranges and related fruits, which in a feral state abound in the Society
Islands, were rarely seen growing wild in Viti Levu, and the fei,
although it probably occurs, does not hold an important place in the
‘diet of the natives, who subsist largely on fish, yams, taro, and bread-
fruit. As in all the voleanic islands visited, as contrasted with the
atolls, the meat of the cocoanut is not much eaten, though its oil is used
in preparing certain dishes and its water is used as a beverage. A
sort of glutinous pudding, prepared by pounding up cooked taro with

- cocoanut oil, is highly regarded as a delicacy, and the stone pestles used

in its preparation are found in every household. The Fijians, like the
Samoans, Tongans, and other Polynesians, drink kava, which is an
infusion of the comminuted roots of a species of pepper (Micropiper).
Formerly the green roots were reduced to a pulp by mastication, but
for hygienic reasons this has been prohibited; and the dried roots are
now pounded in a mortar or grated. ‘The beverage is not fermented,
and intoxicating properties are denied to it by recent investigators.
The weather side of the island is well wooded and fertile, the veg-
etation is luxuriant and in general more massive in character than in
Tahiti, and the filmy growths of tropical forests are less conspicuous.
The Fijians are a sturdy, independent race with dark skins and
fine physiques. The women have less beauty than those of the Maori

-race, but many of the men are fine specimens of vigorous, athletic

manhood. Asarule they are not given to toil, and to supply labor for
the plantations there have been large importations of Indian coolies,
whose physical inferiority to the natives is striking.

‘In the coastal regions of Viti Levu there is more or less admixture
of Tongan blood, and the color, especially of the chiefs, is lighter
than among the mountain people of purer Papuan descent. For the
most part the natives live in houses of pure Fijian architecture, those
of the chiefs, especially, being well constructed and often neatly kept.
Some of them have the beams and pillars neatly and ingeniously
ornamented with wrappings of cocoanut fiber sennit in various
designs and colors, and in the house of the chief at Rewa the wood-
work is hardly to be seen for the closeness of its ornamentation.

As chiefs of districts and villages the old native ruling classes have
been given a certain amount of authority under the British colonial
government, and the natives are well satisfied and contented without
having lost their natural independence of character. As a race they

148 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

are intelligent, and some of the chiefs have been well educated in the
schools of the Australasian colonies, speaking English with fluency
and being well informed of the events of the world.

The common people and some of the chiefs live much as they did
before the advent of the whites, excepting that they have, of course,
long given up their tribal wars and someof the practices arising there-
from. Most of them are professed Christians and in form, at least,
are more devout than some of their white neighbors. In the vicinity of
Suva white influence is seen in the dress of the women, a cotton gown
reaching to the ankles, and the men wear cotton loin cloths, or sulus,
and shirts, the chiefs dressing in white. Inthe interiorof Viti Levu,
however, and at Kambara, the dress of many of the women is a skirt of
fiber reaching to about the knees, and the men wear the sulu without
covering to the upper part of body. Except in a few places, practically
all of their household utensils are of home manufacture after their
ancient models, and their villages are innocent of corrugated iron. A
few large, double-sailing canoes are still to be seen, but there are none
approaching in size the great war crafts of former times, and in the
neighborhood of Suva, at least, they are fast giving place to sloops
and cutters, whose general superiority the native appreciates.

Before reaching Suva four soundings, ranging between 324 and 600
fathoms, were made among the southern islands of the Lau Group,
and another of 990 fathoms was made about 13 miles west of Kam-
bara. After leaving Suva no soundings were made until in latitude
12° 43’ S., longitude 179° 50’ W., a depth of 1,445 fathoms was found
about midway between Fiji and the Ellice Islands. The trawl and
tow nets were used at this station with rather meager results and this ©
constitutes practically the only work of the kind between Suva and —
Yokohama, although the surface net was used on several occasions.
The following day asounding of 245 fathoms was found at a point about
half a mile south of Nurakita Island. This island, usually known as
Sophia Island, is owned by a white man who has erected an apparently |
substantial building, and is inhabited by Samoans in his service.

From Nurakita the Albatross proceeded to Funafuti, when anchor
_ was dropped in the lagoon off the village of Fongafale on the after-
noon of December 23. Funafuti is one of the few atolls which have
been well surveyed. It is almost 15 miles long and about 10 miles
wide, its greatest length being nearly due north and south, and
its width east and west, magnetic. The depth of the lagoon will
average 24 fathoms, but it is considerably shoaler on the west side,
and there are many reefs and coral patches seattered everywhere over
the lagoon, these being readily recognized in the sunlight by the light-
green color in contrast with the blue of the deeper water. Outside
of the atoll the water is deep, soundings of 1,000 fathoms being
obtainable within 2 or 3 miles of the shores and still deeper water
being found beyond. Funafuti is, in fact, the summit of a steep sub-_
marine peak. ‘The land lies on the eastern and southeastern rim of the

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 149

atoll and consists of a number of long and extremely narrow islands

on the reef flats. It is widest, about 600 yards, at the easternmost
point, where the village is situated, but elsewhere it is rarely a third

as wide. A large part of the land consists of coarse coral shingle

and rubble overgrown by an almost impenetrable scrub, but near
the village it has a more sandy soil, supporting a growth of cocoanut
trees. There is also in the vicinity of the village a slightly brackish
sink or shallow pool where taro is grown and whose verge supports a
few banana and breadfruit trees, the first that the expedition found
growing on an atoll. In 1897 a boring 1,100 feet deep was made at
Fongafale to determine the depth of the coral formation and the char-
acter of the underlying structure of the atoll.

The population of Fongafale, which is the only inhabited island on
the atoll, is stated to be about 250, with a native government under
the protection of the British flag. The natives are all Christian and

extremely devout, Sunday being entirely devoted to religious obsery-

ances and services at other times being frequent. On Sundays the
men dress in shirts and trousers and some wear coats, and the women

_ appear in loose flowing wrappers of cotton stuff and hats of a style

never seen elsewhere, but which are the pride of their owners and the
glory of Fongafale. On ordinary occasions the women wear nothing
but a short skirt of pandanus-leaf strips sewed to a waistband.

The chief and one or two others have houses built of coral rock and
plaster upon European models, but the majority of the dwellings are of
native design, but of several types, asif extraneous influences had been
at work. ‘The most common type, and the one probably indigenous to
the island, has a floor or platform over the whole or a large part of the
space occupied by the house, raised about 2 feet above the ground, a sort

_ of picket fence preventing the encroachment of pigs and dogs beneath.

- Another type is without a platform, but the ground is covered with
_-a neat layer of white coral shingle and pebbles, over which mats are

spread when one wishes to sit or lie down. Houses of this character,
probably of Samoan origin, usually have no permanent walls, but a
sort of native ‘‘ venetian blind,” made of broad mats of cocoanut leaves,
is‘arranged so that it may be raised or lowered as occasion requires.

The natives of Funafuti are quite different in appearance from
those of the Fiji Islands, belonging to the Maori race, which inhabits
the islands to the eastward. During recent years, at least, they have
had considerable intercourse with the Samoans, whom they resemble
in appearance, and it is not improbable that the Ellice Islands were

_ populated by emigration from the Samoan Archipelago, which is dis-

tant between 500 and 600 miles. A Samoan teacher was present on
the island at the time of the visit of the Albatross, and so far as could
be judged his influence was paramount to that of the chief. The
natives were hospitable and kindly disposed, and exerted themselves
for the pleasure and entertainment of the members of the expedition.
With the exception of two Roman Catholic missionaries, who contem-

150 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

plated leaving on account of the coldness of their reception by the
already Christianized natives, there were no white men resident on
the island. The white trader had died several months before and no
one had taken his place. The supply of tobacco, soap, and some
other necessaries was exhausted, and the members of the party availed
themselves of an active demand for these articles in making collee-
tions of ethnological specimens, a fairly complete collection of fishing
appliances being secured.

During the two days spent at Fongafale the naturalists of the party
made collections of corals and other specimens on the reefs. Great
difficulty was encountered in getting specimens of fish, not only at this
island, but everywhere in the South Seas. It was rarely that fish could
be taken on a line, and the few captured generally belonged to spe-
cies of which specimens were easily obtainable. Places presenting
opportunities for hauling the seines were comparatively few, owing to
the coral growths on the bottoms of the lagoons, and on the outside —
of the atolls there were usually no places whatever where a net could
be set. Gill nets were tried in a number of places and in several ways,
and traps of various types were set where strange and gorgeously
beautiful fish were swarming, but only the most meager results were
obtained. Fishes in considerable numbers and variety could always
be seen about the corals, but on the slightest alarm they would with-
draw into the numerous holes and crannies, where they were secure
against all attempts to catch them.

Attempts to secure specimens and fish for the officers’ mess from
the natives were no less abortive. The South Sea Islanders every-
where pay more or less attention to fishing, but in a desultory way
and upon a small scale and, except when they go out to sea after flying-
fish and bonito, rarely make catches of considerable size. In lagoon >
fishing they usually catch barely enough for a meal for themselves.
They use a large variety of apparatus—traps differing in type in every
group, but all made upon the principle of our own lobster pots, seines,
dip nets, scoop nets, hooks and lines, and spears. The netsare nearly
all made by the natives of twine composed of fibers indigenous to the
islands, and many of the lines are also of home manufacture, although
the cotton line of the whites is used more or less in many places. The
natives generally exhibit considerable skill in making twine and
cordage, and examples were seen which in strength and workmanship
were not inferior to the products of machinery. Iron hooks obtained
from traders are now extensively used in most of the islands, but in
some cases barbless ones are preferred to the ordinary type, and for
some kinds of fishing the native hooks of pearl shell and bone are
found more effective. For catching the bonito and kindred species
the natives and white residents of the islands claim that nothing
equals a sort of native ‘‘fly,” which, with slight modifications, was
found everywhere from the Paumotus to the Marshalls. It consists
of a pearl-shell shank to which a slightly curved and retrorse point

of bone or shell is firmly lashed and furnished with a tuft of stiff fiber
to serve asa lure. For lagoon fishing a hook made of a single piece
of lamellibranch or gasteropod shell is sometimes used, and for shark
fishing recourse is still occasionally had to the ancient hard-wood
hook; but both of these types have been largely displaced by iron and
steel, in some cases the natives adapting the new materials to the old
familiar models.

Iron wire has also almost displaced hard wood for the armament of
_ the fish spears, although the old model, with its crown of six or eight
| points, is still adhered to from the Paumotus to the Carolines. Spear-
_ ing fish is practiced on the reefs at night when the flaring lights of
_ cocoanut-leaf torches are used to lure the fishes from their hiding-
places among the corals.

The Albatross left Funafuti on December 26, and sailed for the
Gilbert Islands, coasting the island of Nukufetau en route. Between
the Ellice and Gilbert islands she encountered much bad weather, with
wind and rain, and it was found impossible to make soundings. In
the Gilberts the islands of Arorai, Onoatoa, Taputeuea, Apamama,
Maiana, Tarawa, Apaiang, Maraki, and Taritari were coasted and
examined. Landings for a few hours were made at most of them,
excepting Taritari, where the ship entered the lagoon and lay at
anchor for a day and a half off the village of Butaritari.

_ Kleven soundings were made in the Gilberts, and the indications
_ are that these islands, like the Ellices, are the summits of rather steep
submarine peaks rising from a depth of about 2,200 fathoms. No
landing was made at Arorai, but natives who came off in a boat stated
that there was a small sink or pond, but no lagoon. Maraki has a
_ lagoon of considerable relative size, but, with the exception of two
small, shallow passes, practicable for boats only, it is entirely inclosed.
With the exception of Arorai and Maraki, all of the Gilbert Islands
visited by the Albatross have lagoons, which are only imperfectly
inclosed by land, the western part of the atolls, as a rule, consisting
of reefs, without the sandy linear islets which characterize the weather
_ side. Some of the atolls have a double fringe of islets, a peculiarity
| which was nowhere seen in the Paumotus, but which was afterwards
noticed in certain of the atolls of the Marshall Archipelago.

On the morning of January 5 the ship entered the southern passage
of Taritari atoll, under the guidance of a white pilot, and early in the
afternoon came to anchor off the village of Butaritari, where she
/ remained until the morning of January 7. The lagoon is full of coral
patches of all sizes, from a few feet in diameter up to reefs of consid-
_ erable size, and a collection of the characteristic species was obtained.

_ The shore and reef collecting proved poor in those portions of the
atoll within reach of the ship, and circumstances did not permit this
branch of the work at any considerable distance from the anchorage.
In company with some of the white residents and natives a trip was
‘made to the reefs near the entrance for the purpose of making a collec-

152. REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

tion of the reef-dwelling fishes by means of explosives, but the attempt
was attended with but poor success, owing, the natives stated, to the
fish having been scared away by previous operations. Explosives for
catching the fishes on the reefs and poisons for taking them in the
small tidewater pools, where, from their shy and secretive habits, it is
difficult to secure them with nets, are perhaps the only feasible means
of making extensive ichthyological collections under the conditions
prevailing in the South Seas, and the expedition was handicapped
by not possessing the means for working along these lines. On the
whole, the biological collections on the coral islands were disappoint-
ing, and far less than similar effort would have yielded in the waters
of the West Indies or on the coast of Japan.

At the various islands where stops were made a few ethnological
specimens, principally fishing and canoe implements and articles of
adornment, were gathered, but as a rule the time was too short for col-
lecting of any sort. The houses differ somewhat in different islands,
but typically consist of rather high cocoanut-thatch roofs supported
on blocks of coral rock or posts about 3 feet high. Many of them,
but not all, have floors on a level with the eaves, a scuttle or hatch
giving access to the compartment above, which is used for sleeping
purposes and as astorehouse. On some of the islands where no land-
ing was made, e. g., Taputeuea, the corner stones, which are usually
about 10 or 12 inches square in cross sections, were seen in places
along the beach, sometimes quite in the open, on bare sand flats, the
rest of the house having disappeared.

On all of the islands visited more or less attention is given to the
eultivation of a large rank-growing species of taro, which has proba- —
bly been introduced from some of the volcanic islands of other groups
where it is indigenous. The taro patches are artificially constructed
trenches dug in the sandy soil and usually for some distance into the
underlying coral rock and filled with an accumulation of vegetable
mold, which lying, as it were, in a more or less impervious basin, is
kept constantly moist by the rains. These beds are carefully culti-
vated and fertilized by household refuse and other materials, the soil
from time to time being loosened up and added to by materials sifted
through a sieve of cocoanut fiber. At Apamama a spade made of a
pearl shell lashed in a cleft stick is used in agricultural operations.
Bread fruit grows sparingly, and in general the fauna is more varied
than in the Paumotus.

The uatives are smaller and of slighter build than those of the
Ellice Islands, and their color is somewhat darker and the hair gen-
erally straighter and coarser. The men wear a pandanus-leaf mat
reaching to below the knees, and the women are clothed in skirts of
stripped leaves, whicu form a very scant covering. As a rule, they
are a wild-eyed people, especially the women, and formerly they were
fierce and warlike, completely clothing themselves for battle in armor
made of closely woven cocoanut-fibersennet. ‘hey are still under the

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 1538

government of native chiefs, but under the protection of Great Britain.
There are white and Chinese traders on a number of the islands, and
at Butaritari there is a little colony of whites, mostly Germans.

Between Taritari and Jaluit soundings were made at intervals of
about 50 miles, which indicated a remarkable uniformity of depth of
between 2,411 and 2,505 fathoms, and at a point 5 miles off the south
point of Jaluit atoll 1,937 fathoms was found. Jaluit was reached
on January 9, and after a stay of five days, spent in coaling, the expe-
dition left for a cruise through the Marshall Archipelago, the course
being through the Ralick chain as far as Rongelab and thence back
to Jaluit via the Ratack chain. The following atolls were visited in
_ order: Jaluit, Elmore, Namu, Kwajalong, Rongelab, Likieb, Wotje,
‘and Arhno, stops being made at the last four and at Jaluit.

Twenty-six soundings were made during the exploration of the
Marshalls, which indicate that the islands rise rather abruptly from
a depth of 2,000 to 2,600 fathoms. A depth somewhat less is found
between some of the atolls, but in general the soundings do not indi-
cate the existence of the two extended ridges from which the Ratack
_ and Ralick chains have been supposed to arise. The Marshall Islands
are nearly all atolls of considerable size, Kwajalong having a length
of about 65 miles, and all of the others visited except Arhno being 30
miles or more on their longest diameter. With hardly an exception
their rims are composed principally of reefs awash or but slightly
submerged, making them dangerous objects to approach at night or
in heavy rains. The islets on the reefs are almost invariably small
and in some cases are ranged in a double series, one near the outer
and the other near the inner edges of the reef. The studies of the
Marshalls, Gilberts, and Ellice islands on the one hand and of the
Paumotus on the other supplemented one another in a very satisfac-
tory manner, the former furnishing data concerning the action of the
- formative agencies producing the several varieties of land masses and
the latter exhibiting the characters of the substructure upon which
the islets rest. The dynamic studies in the Marshalls and Gilberts are
doubtless of general application, but the character of the underlying
formations in these groups can not be predicated from the knowledge
gained in the Paumotus. The Carolines may in a measure serve as a
guide, but the differences between the Society and Paumotus islands,
which are even more intimately associated geographically than are ,
the Carolines and Marshalls, induce caution in drawing conclusions
based on relations of propinquity.

There are ship passes and anchorages in most of the lagoons, but
as they are more or less studded with coral patches it is dangerous to
enter them except in bright weather. The Albatross was detained
over three days at Arhno Atoll on account of heavy rains and overcast
_ skies, which made crossing the lagoon hazardous. Considerable rain
was met with in the Marshalls, which appear to have a moister climate
_ than most of the low islands.

154. REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The vessel returned to Jaluit on January 29, and a week was spent
in coaling and overhauling the machinery. During this and the pre-
vious visit the naval officers of the expedition were engaged in making
magnetic and astronomical observations and in a survey of that
part of the atoll in the vicinity of the anchorage and Southeast Pass.
Opportunities for doing such work were few during the cruise, but
whenever a chance presented itself it was embraced with enthusiasm.
A eolleetion of corals and other biological materials was made at
Jaluit and Arhno, but as usual the reef collecting was not prolifie,
and neither trawl hauls nor tow-net collections were made in this part
of the cruise nor afterwards. From the time the ship entered the
Paumotus until she left the Carolines specimens were taken by means ~
of the submerged electric light and scoop net whenever she came to
anchor in the lagoons or lay to off the islands at night. In the aggre-
gate a good many specimens were taken in this way, and they repre-
sent practically the entire pelagic catch after leaving Suva, but being
almost invariably taken in the lagoons or close to shore, the proportion
of larve and immature individuals of reef-dwelling animals is very
large. Judging from the appearance of the water and the specimens
taken in the scoop net, the pelagic life of the waters west of the Mar-
shalls is richer than among the eastern islands of the Pacific, where
more pelagic work was done.

The flora of the Marshall Islands, like that of all atolls, is limited,
about equal in richness to that of the Gilberts, but excelling the
Paumotus. At Jaluit the white residents have imported several
species from the Carolines, but most of them can be made to grow
only with difficulty. There are a few bananas, pineapples, limes, and
other plants, some of them set out in soil imported for the purpose from
the voleanic islands to the westward, and one or two small gardens of
European vegetables have been painfully established in the same way.
It is almost pathetic to see the struggles of some of the Europeans to .
surround themselves with the familiar things of their far-away homes
and to supply a few vegetables to break the monotony of the diet to
which they are necessarily restricted by residence on an atoll.

The breadfruit flourishes better in the Marshalls than in the low
islands of the southern groups, and the jack fruit is also common.
The natives subsist principally on the cocoanut, the fruit of the
pandanus, and fish, although the breadfruit and jack fruit are used
to some extent where they have been introduced and taro is grown on
some of the islands. Arrowroot starch in cocoanut shells was seen at
one or two of the islands, but the pia plant, from which it is obtained,
was not observed, and the product may have been imported. During
the season when the pandanus is ripe it appears to be almost the
sole vegetable food, and piles of the woody portion of the fruit are
seen in the refuse heaps of every domicile. It is eaten raw, when it
has a sweet taste something like sugar cane, and is also scraped and
made into large sheets or cakes, which are smoked and dried for

a ee

preservation. As in all of the low islands, the kernel of the cocoanut
is eaten, and the oil expressed from the grated meat is used in the
compounding of the few ‘‘made dishes” affected by the natives.

The Marshall islanders exhibit much skill in canoe building and
navigation. The canoes were formerly made of driftwood, as most
of the islands did not furnish trees of sufficient size or suitable
structure, but material derived from the whites is now used to some
extent. The sailing canoes are often of considerable size, and are
made of a number of pieces sewed together with cocoanut fiber sennit
and calked with pandanus leaves, cocoanut fiber, and the gum of the

_breadfruit or jack trees. The hull is skillfully designed, and with

the large triangular mat sails trimmed close they point up well and

are quite speedy. Like all South Sea canoes, they are provided with
outriggers, always kept to windward. These islanders also used a
chart made of sticks and small shells, indicating the positions of the
islands and the currents. They are said to be quite expert in navi-
gating their canoes from island to island by means of these charts,
but are sometimes not as successful with the white man’s sloop, which
is coming more and more into use by the natives, especially the chiefs.

The women are adepts at mat making and often show considerable
taste in the border designs, which are worked in black, brown, and
yellow, in contrast to the white body color. The material used is
prepared pandanus leaves, with another fiber for some of the stitch-
ing, and the dyestuffs are of native production. These mats are worn
as clothing, the women using two, held at the waist by a girdle to
form a sort of skirt, and the men wearing one as a breechcloth. The
men also, with ludicrous effect, occasionally wear a pair of garments
made of strips of pandanus leaves, one being thrust beneath the girdle

} in front and the other behind, so that they hang over like a pair of
’ horsetails, reaching to about the knees.

At Jaluit and some other islands the natives, especially the chiefs
and their families, dress in clothing fashioned after that of the whites,
and at one island the men wear calico petticoats in lieu of trousers.

The Marshall islanders appear to be slightly larger in stature than
the Gilbert islanders and with somewhat heavierframes. Their color
is also darker, although in this respect our observations do not agree
with some of the published statements concerning them. ‘They are
less hospitable than the Fijians and Maoris, but everywhere exhibited
a friendly disposition. There is much sickness among the islands,
usually of a type introduced by the whites, and the German Govern-
ment has established a hospital at Jaluit, where the natives receive
excellent treatment.

During both visits of the Albatross to Jaluit, which is the seat of
the German government of the Marshall Islands and the headquarters
of the several trading companies, the members of the expedition met
with the kindest and most hospitable treatment from the Herr Landes-
hauptmann, his officers, and the white residents.

156 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

Jaluit was left on February 5 by way of the Southwest Pass, which
has deep water, but is skirted on the lagoon side by a long fringe of
reefs. Namorik was passed in the night, and on the afternoon of
February 7 the Albatross reached Kusaie, the first of the Caroline
Islands. A boisterous sea was encountered in this part of the cruise
which not only prevented sounding, but made it inexpedient to enter
Chabral Harbor, as contemplated, its mouth being open to the full
force of the trade winds, and it was nightfall when the ship came to
anchor in Port Lottin, the approaches to which were in smoother
water. The room in this harbor is circumscribed and the published
plan is inaccurate, and a hurried survey was made by the officers of .
the vessel during the day and a half spent there.

Kusaie, which is 10 or 12 miles in diameter, is a high voleanic island,
with its central peak, Mount Crozer, rising to a height of 2,155 feet, and
several others almost equaling it in altitude. The shores are largely
formed of mangrove swamps traversed by a network of confluent
channels and bayous, in which respect it resembles the delta regions
of Viti Levu and some of the other large islands of the Fijis, and
differs from the Society Islands, where the mangrove was not seen
anywhere. Many of the streams of Kusaie have no definite mouths,
but in their lower courses become lost in the mangrove swamps. The
entire coast of the island is fringed by reefs lying outside of the man-
grove swamps and interrupted in but three places by harbor mouths,
and, by using the bayous and the shallow channels back of the reefs,
canoes can travel around considerable parts of the coast in smooth
water, even when a heavy sea is running outside.

The vegetation of Kusaie is dense and varied. Here the vegetable —
ivory tree, the most majestic of the South Sea palms, was first met
with by the expedition. Its fruit is an article of commerce, being
utilized in the production of articles for which ivory was formerly —
used. Fruits and vegetables and some excellent beef were obtained
here for the use of the ship.

On February 10, the day following her departure from Kusaie, the
Albatross reached Pingelap, where she lay to without sending a party
ashore. Pingelap is an atoll of irregular shape and hardly 3 miles in
diameter. There are three islands on the reef, between which fierce
war was formerly waged until one gained the ascendency and brought
all under its rule, since which the population has increased so rapidly
that the people can barely support themselves upon the scanty yield
of the soil and the iisheries, their only resources. A party of natives,
including the chief, who came off to the ship, stated that although the
people are all professed Christians, the missionary vessel never calls
there, and they are left to the religious ministrations of a native.

Ponape, the capital island of the former Spanish administration of
the Carolines, was reached on February 11, and a stop of less than a
day was made at Kiti Harbor, on the south side, Jakoits, the northern
port and seat of government, not being visited. The inner harbor has

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 157

good water and bottom, but the approach through the narrows is much
restricted by coral reefs on each side, and as the stay of the Albatross
was to be brief she anchored in the outer harbor, the entrance to which
is easy. Ponape closely resembles Kusaie in its general characters,
but is somewhat larger, having a diameter of about 15 miles, with a
central peak rising to an altitude approaching 2,900 feet. The reef
_ platform surrounding the island is, however, much broader than at
Kusaie, being upward of 2 miles across at Kiti Harbor and much wider
on the north shore. There are a number of islands on the reef, some
of them of volcanic origin, probably detached portions of the main
island, while others, for example those near Kiti Harbor, are, like the
islets of typical atolls, composed of reworked coral sand and frag-
ments from the reefs. Behind the sandy islets, which are mostly on
the edge of the reef and near the harbor mouths, there is, at least to
the eastward of Kiti Harbor, a channel with some depth.

A small river, about 100 feet wide at its mouth and several feet
_ deep, flows into the head of Kiti Harbor, but the entrance to it is so
obstructed by a bar that the boats could only enter it with ease near
high water. It contains many small fish, though apparently of but few
species, and its banks support a rich vegetation. There are several
white men at Kiti Harbor and some small plantations of bananas and
other fruit trees. The breadfruit, jacktree, and vegetable ivory palm
all attain a large size, and the royal poinciana, with its scarlet blossoms
on otherwise almost naked branches, was found in abundance.

The last stop made by the Albatross in the Caroline Archipelago
was at Moen or Uala Island, in the Truk group, which was reached
on February 14 and left on February 17. The Truk group consists
of about a score of voleanic islands and islets surrounded by a bar-
_ rier reef, with a diameter of about 70 miles, and supporting numerous
- low, sandy islets having the appearance, as viewed from the ship, of
the islands usually found on atoll rims. The northern part of the
reef is said to be much broader than the southern, where it varies from
about one-third to one-half mile in width, with many interruptions.
The high islands, which are voleanic in formation, vary from 12 miles in
length to inconsiderable islets, several of them possessing peaks 1,200
or 1,300 feet high. Each of these islands is surrounded by a narrow
fringe of reef, and in fact the groupas a whole looks like an exagger-
ation of the conditions observed at Kusaie and Ponape, the lagoon
being merely the reef channel of those islands enormously widened
and considerably deepened and surrounding a group of smaller
islands instead of one large one.

In addition to the islands at which stops were made, the islands of
Andema, Namu, Losap, the Royalist group, and Namonuito were
coasted, and their general characters observed from the ship.

The land fauna of the Carolines is much richer in proportion to the
_ land area than in any of the other islands visited by the Albatross.
In the Ellice, Gilbert, and Marshall islands land birds are extremely

158 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

uncommon and of but few species, the avi-fauna being poorer than in
the Paumotus. The Society and Fiji islands are progressively richer,
but it was not until the Carolines were reached that the woods and
thickets seemed full of birds and resounded with their songs and
cries. Parrots and pigeons of several species, white-eyes, flycatchers,
kingfishers, and many other species were observed at Kusaie, Ponape,

and Truk, and the collections, which, in spite of effort, had languished |

for lack of material after leaving Suva, began to offer some returns to
the shooters notwithstanding the brevity of the opportunities, which
made it impossible to secure a really representative collection. Two
species of herons, seen nowhere else, resembling one another more
or less in color, but differing greatly in size, were taken at Ponape.
Four species of bats, three of which are represented in the collec-
tions, were observed in the Carolines. Three of them belong to the
Frugivora, w]ile the fourth is insectivorous, the only species of its
kind observed except at Viti Levu. The fruit bats appear to subsist

mainly on the flowers of the poinciana, and especially on the island ~

of Ponape must exist in large numbers, as from one to twenty were
seen in almost every tree of that species. Several species of lizarac
were collected, and it is probable that careful collecting in all parts
of the islands would show a much more extensive reptilian fauna than
that observed in the eastern islands of the Pacific.

The natives of the several Caroline islands visited differ more or less
in appearance and present customs and social conditions. In Kusaie
and Ponape they have been brought into more intimate contact with
the whites, from whom they have copied their clothing and in a measure
their houses. ‘he women wear long loose gowns or ‘‘mother hub-
bards,” and the men usually dress in the shirts and trousers—the
former, in regulation tropical style, worn outside—and most of them
have hats. In Truk, however, this dress, although occasionally seen,
is rare, the men wearing a breechcloth reduced to the utmost limit and
the women a cincture or loin cloth of cocoanut fiber reaching to the
knees. The upper part of the body is usually naked, but is covered
on oceasion by a sort of poncho, a straight strip of cloth about 6 feet
long, with a slit in the middle through which the head is thrust.

The people of Truk, especially the men, are much given to personal
adornment. The face is heavily powdered with turmeric, the hair is
worn in a high knot on the crown of the head and bound with strips of
bright cloth, necklaces of various materials are worn in profusion, and
from the pierced and extravagantly stretched lobes of the ears depend
looped chains of cocoanut-shell rings, which are often 4 or 5 feet long
and form a bunch 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.

The natives of Truk are taller and more slender than the people of
Kusaie and Ponape. The men are well formed and athletic looking,
but with somewhat effeminate faces, owing in a measure to their lavish
adornment and the manner of wearing the hair. The younger women
are often comely and both sexes are more yellow than the Kusaie

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 159

and Ponape people, an effect which is heightened by the profuse appli- .
-eation of turmeric to their complexions.

At Kusaie the houses which appear to represent most nearly the
native type are built of half-round sticks lashed horizontally to a
framework and are thatched with cocoanut leaves. Some of them are
elevated on platforms, provided with porches, and divided into rooms,
but there is reason to believe that all of these features, excepting
perhaps the first, are copied from the whites. At Moen Island in
the Truk group the houses are larger, with the ends open or closed by a
sort of shed leaning against the main structure. Several families, or
the married members of the same family, reside under the one roof,
‘a row of small compartments for their occupancy stretching along
each side of the house, leaving a broad central aisle, or hall, which is
used as a general living room, workshop, and storehouse. Canoes are
housed and sometimes built in the main hall, and the various house-
hold utensils and fishing appliances are stored there.

The women of some of the Carolines—e. g., Kusaie and Truk—
weave a coarse cloth from the fibers of the banana, which is spun into
a thread by rolling several fibers together upon the naked thigh and
knotting the lengths into a continuous piece. In Kusaie the warp is
laid up on small ornamented benches with pins, and at Truk the
Same purpose is attained by laying the thread around pins driven into
_ the ground in proper relationships of distance and position. The hand
looms are of simple type, alike at the two islands mentioned, but much
- larger at Truk. The cloth is still extensively used for clothing at
Truk, but not so much at Kusaie.

The péople of Kusaie and Ponape are mild, peaceable, and friendly,
but those at Truk still engage in tribal wars and are said to be warlike
and treacherous, a reputation which the members of the expedition
' believe to be justified. They still fight with spears, but many of them
‘are provided with good firearms.

Six soundings were made, one near Namu Island, where 525 fathoms
was found; another about three-quarters of a mile south of Port Lotton,
Kusaie, where the depth was 371 fathoms, and four others at places
removed from insularinfluence, which show apparently that the islands
of the archipelago rise rather abruptly from a depth of upward of 2,000
fathoms, the extremes being 2,162 and 2,533 fathoms. After leav-
ing the Carolines the soundings gradually deepened until, in latitude
12°51'N., longitude 145° 46’ E., about 100 miles southeast of Guam, 4,813
fathoms was found, but in latitude 13° 08' N., longitude 145° 25’ E.,
_ approaching the Ladrones, the depth had decreased to 2,337. A few
months before, as was learned at Guam, the U. 8S. 8. Nero, while sound-
ing outa cable route, had found over 5,000 fathoms somewhere near the
same place, and the Challenger, during her famous cruise around the
world, made a sounding of 4,475 fathoms farther to the westward, but
evidently in the same basin, which is established asone of the deepest
holes in the world, almost equaling in depth the great Tonga Deep.

160 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

Guam was sighted the morning of the 21st of February, and after
coasting the eastern, northern, and part of the western shores the
ship came to anchor in the harbor of San Luis d’Apra. The coast of
the northern part of the island resembles that of Makatea and Niue,
with limestone cliffs in places several hundred feet in height, but the
southern part is voleanic, and near Agafia contacts were found which
indicated that the igneous rocks had burst through the preexisting
limestone, though there is reason to believe that some of the elevated
calcareous rocks farther south are more recent than the igneous rocks
with which they are in contact. The northern part of the island is
flat-topped, although considerably eroded, while the southern half is
rolling and hilly.

The harbor of San Luis d’Apra is well sheltered, in part by high
land and in part by a long stretch of reef with a narrow opening, and
since the occupation of the island by the United States it has been
thoroughly surveyed by the naval officers stationed there. There’is
only a small village at the harbor, but a good road leads to the popu-
lous town of Agafia, the capital, several miles distant, and a telephone
line now connects the two places. Agajfia lies on the seacoast, but a
reef with but very shallow passes makes it useless as a harbor, except
for very small craft. It is built partly in the Spanish style, partly
native, and partly a mixture of the two, and under the energetic
administration of Governor Leary many of its unsanitary features
have been corrected and it presents a clean and orderly appearance.
Its principal buildings are the palace and the offices of administration,
the barracks, and the hospital, all built by the Spaniards, and which
either face or immediately adjoin the parade or plaza in the center of -
the town. The population is said to number over 6,000.

The island is about 27 miles long and 7 or 8 miles wide, and its gen-
eral topography has already been indicated. It has a moist climate,
not excessively hot, and is fairly well watered; the streams, however,
are small and are said to be shrinking as a result of cultivation and the
clearing of the forests. Oranges, shaddocks, limes, bananas, bread-
fruit, and all the tropical fruits are found, and corn, rice, sugar, tobacco,
sweet-potatoes, and other imported plants are cultivated.

The population is a mixed one, consisting of the natives or Chamor-
ros, with a few Filipinos and Caroline Islanders, and a mixture of the
first two with Spanish blood. The Americans complain of the extreme
indolence of the native population, a characteristic which their Span-
ish predecessors appear to have recognized, as they imported natives
of the Carolines for labor on some of the public works. A small vil-
lage of Caroline Islanders near Agana, left stranded by a contractor
who had imported them, still maintains in a measure the Caroline
manner of living. Most of the people speak Spanish, but some are
endeavoring to learn English since the cession of the island to the
United States.

The Albatross left Guam on February 25, and after coasting Rota,

4 high limestone island, laid a course for Yokohama, Japan. The
mnly other island of the long Ladrone chain sighted was the northern-
10st, Farallon de Pajaros, an active voleano, with an elevation of
over 1,000 feet, which, from a distance of 25 miles to the westward,
appeared to have steam and smoke issuing from several vents. At its
southern end there is a smaller, less lofty portion, either detached or
with a low connection with the main island.
On March 4 the Albatross came to anchor outside of the breakwater
| Yokohama, but she afterwards moved into theinner harbor. Until
May she was refitting, repairing engines, and in dry dock at Uraga,
but early in that month she proceeded on a dredging expedition in
ike direction of the Inland Sea. About 70 dredge, trawl, and tangle
i auls were made in Sagami and Suruga bays, and the Sea of Ise and
adjoining parts of the coast. The work was practically all inside of
the 100-fathom line and on the edge of the Kurosiwa or Black Current,
the great warm stream which flows from the south along the east coast
of Japan and sweeps northward along the Kurils and the Aleutian
Chain, where it becomes the great North Pacific Drift. This great
stream bears much the same relation to the shores of Asia that the
Gulf Stream bears to the east coast of North America, and in the same
manner its warm waters bear a rich pelagic fauna, furnishing food
and a congenial environment to the host of animals which live on the ~
bottom. The trawling was very good, and rich collections of fish,
! staceans, worms, echinoderms, and mollusca were obtained. Two
large tanks were filled with specimens of Metacrinus, a ‘‘stone lily,”
formerly rare, and stalkless crinoids of several species were obtained
in large numbers. The Alcyonarian fauna is rich and varied and a
sonsiderable collection of these beautiful organisms was obtained, and
. a number of siliceous sponges, including half a score of the beautiful
glass-like Venus’ flower basket (Hwplectella), were taken in the trawls.
_ For taking these delicate organisms in an uninjured condition the
_ apparatus used by the Albatross is not so good as the long lines used by
_ the Japanese fishermen, which have adventitiously yielded to science
the fine collection of sponges in the Imperial University of Tokyo.
The crustacean fauna of the edge of the Black Current and the
_ coastal slopes of Japan is especially rich in the suborders Macrura
~and Brachyura, to which the shrimps and the hermit crabs, spider
_ erabs, ete., respectively, belong.
After finishing the dredging operations the Albatross returned to
Yokohama, where she coaled and sailed for Hakodate on June 1.
Several trawl hauls were made en route to the latter port and a short
wnd unsuccessful search was made for a reported dangerous rock off
_Kinkwazan. The ship was much delayed by fogs and reached Hako-
date on June 8. After coaling she sailed June 12 for Alaska, where
she was at the end of the fiscal year.

REPORT OF THE DIVISION OF STATISTICS AND METHODS
OF THE FISHERIES.

By C. H. TOWNSEND, Assistant in Charge.

>

_ At the commencement of the present fiscal year, most of the statis-
tical field agents of the division were engaged in canvassing the fish-
eries of the New England States. Maine was canvassed by Mr. John
N. Cobb; New Hampshire by Messrs. W. A. Wilcox and T. M. Cogs-
well; Massachusetts by Messrs. Wilcox, Cogswell, and Ansley Hall;
Rhode Island by Mr. E. 8. King, and New York and Connecticut by
Mr. C. H. Stevenson. Atthesametime Mr. W. A. Roberts was engaged
in statistical work in New Jersey, and Mr. John B. Wilson was tem-
‘porarily engaged in canvassing the wholesale fishery trade of Boston.
Upon the completion of the work in the fall, all of these persons were
employed in the arrangement of the data collected and in other neces-
sary office work.

Mr. C. H. Townsend, assistant in charge, after a brief visit early
in July to certain fishery centers of the New England States in com-
pany with the statistical agents, returned to the office. In August he
was, on account of previous experience in deep-sea investigations,
detailed as a member of the scientific staff to assist Prof. Alexander
‘Agassiz on board the steamer Albatross, then starting upon a voyage
of deep-sea exploration through the South Pacific Ocean. Mr. Town-
send accompanied the expedition as far as the Fiji Islands, from which
point he returned to Washington. Arriving there in January, he
remained in charge of the office until near the close of the fiscal year.
In October Mr. Stevenson began work in North Carolina in connec-
tion with the steamer Fish Hawk, then engaged in investigations
respecting the oyster-grounds of that State. His inquiries were in
large part prosecuted on shore, and were continued, with some inter-
ruptions, until March.

- In December Mr. Cobb commenced a canvass of the fisheries of
Lake Erie, the work being completed in February.

~ Mr. Wilcox left in May for the Columbia River to commence a can-
vass of the fisheries of the Pacific coast. The fisheries of Oregon and
Washington were taken up first, in order that the extensive salmon
fisheries of the Northwest coast might be studied while the canneries

were in operation. The work is still in progress.

164 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

Capt. S. J. Martin and Mr. F. F. Dimick, local statistical agents of ©
the division stationed at Gloucester and Boston, continue to submit
monthly reports on the fisheries at those places. The information is
tabulated in the office and distributed regularly to the fishery trade
in the New England States.

The results of the work of this division are presented elsewhere
from year to year in the publications of the Commission as detailed sta-
tistical reports on the commercial fisheries of different sections of the
country, or special papers on the methods of conducting the fisheries.

Single-sheet bulletins containing advance statistics in condensed
form are distributed for the information of the fishery trade in the
regions to which they refer. The following have been issued during
the year: |

No. 13. Fisheries of New York and New Jersey, 1898.
No. 14. Statement of quantities and values of certain fishery products landed
at Boston and Gloucester by American vessels during the year 1899,

No. 15. Fisheries of the New England States, 1898.
No. 16, Fisheries of Lake Erie, 1899.

FISHERIES OF LAKE ERIE.

An inquiry respecting the commercial fisheries of Lake Erie in 1899
shows an important increase in the yield of these fisheries since they.
were last canvassed. This applies not only to the quantity of prod-
ucts, but also to their value, the amount of capital invested, and the
number of persons employed. Decided increases are shown in the
yield of white-fish and lake herring. The yield of pike perch continues
to be large, although it has not increased over that of former years.
These species are extensively propagated artificially, and it is believed
that their cultivation is producing excellent results. In 1899 the fish-
eries of this lake yielded 58,393,364 pounds of products, valued at
$1,150,890. The total number of persons engaged was 3,728, and the
investment amounted to $2,719,654. |

The vessels employed numbered 104 and were valued, with their
outfits, at $439,077. The apparatus of capture which represented the
greatest value was pound nets, of which 1,298 were in use, ‘valued at
$313,125. Gill nets are next in importance, 41,678 being in use, and
valued at $229,182.

Among the products herring are preeminent, 33,470,633 pounds hay-
ing been taken, worth $431,894. The catch of pike and pike perch
was 9,325,991 pounds, valued at $302,296. White-fish was taken to
the amount of 2,066,314 pounds, worth $152,009. It is interesting to
note that carp, now abundant in this lake, are extensively utilized,
the catch amounting to 3,633,697 pounds, worth $51,456.

The two following tables show the persons, apparatus, and capital
employed in the fisheries of Lake Erie in 1899, and the quantities and
values of the different species obtained in the fisheries of the lake in
that year.

166 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND. FISHERIES.

FISHERIES OF LAKE ONTARIO.

The commercial fisheries of this lake, after several years of decrease,
now show a gratifying increase, the products being, in quantity and
value, nearly three times as great as in 1897, the year when last inves-
tigated. The same increase is shown in the amount of capital invested,
and the number of persons employed is much greater. Fish-cultural
operations here are apparently giving good results, the plantings of
white-fish and pike perch having been noticeably beneficial.

The total number of persons engaged in the commercial fisheries
in 1899 was 391. The capital invested amounted to $80,350. The
fisheries yielded 2,407,132 pounds of products, worth $101,130.

Among the products cat-fish are prominent in quantity and value,
518,423 pounds, worth $18,834, being taken. The yield of perch was
407,017 pounds, valued at $11,822. The catch of sturgeon was 189,955
pounds, worth $17,843. Pike and pike perch, 297,801 pounds, were
worth $16,127, and white-fish, 161,935 pounds, were worth $10,978.

The figures for Lake Ontario include, however, the fisheries of the
St. Lawrence and Niagara rivers. In the St. Lawrence 69 fishermen
obtained 81,900 pounds of products in 1899, valued at $6,988; in the
Niagara River 7 fishermen procured 13,170 pounds, worth $484.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 167

FISHERIES OF BOSTON AND GLOUCESTER.

The reports of the agents of the Commission stationed at these
ports show a large increase in the quantity and value of fishery prod-
ucts landed during the year. The figures for 1899, as compared with
those of the previous year, exhibit an increase of 33,370,561 pounds,
valued at $1,204,564. The total quantity of products landed by Amer-
ican vessels was 176,774,301 pounds, worth $4,193,652. The total
number of fares was 7,820.

At Boston there has been a slight increase in the total quantity and
value of products as compared with 1898. This is shown both in the
supply derived from the eastern banks and from fishing-grounds off
the New England coast. There has been an increase in the quantity
of both fresh and salted fish and in the value of fresh fish, with a
small decrease in the value of salted fish. The increase in the quan-
tity of fresh fish landed was 9,956,659 pounds and $390,831 in value.
In the salted fish the increase amounted to 88,500 pounds, with a
decrease in value of $4,125. The total increase in fresh and salted
fish amounted to 10,045,159 pounds, and $386,706 in value.

_ The total quantity of products landed at Boston was 64,724,729
pounds, valued at $1,428,346. The number of fares was 3,866, of
which 183 were from the eastern banks and 3,683 from grounds off the
New England coast. The fresh and salted fish from the eastern banks
amounted to 9,908,910 pounds, valued at $246,206, and from grounds
off the New England coast to 54,815,819 pounds, valued at $1,182,140.

174 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES.

There has been a decrease in the fisheries of this region, since their
canvass in 1889, of 259,814,470 pounds of products, amounting to
°$877,813 invalue. <A large part of this decrease is represented by alge,
which, if eliminated from the figures of both years, leaves an actual
decrease in fish products of 111,030,570 pounds, worth $825,512.

The catch of menhaden has largely decreased. In 1889 the quan- —
tity was 173,632,210 pounds, worth $428,228, whereas in 1898 only
23,140,177 pounds, valued at $65,175, were taken, a decrease of
150,492,023 pounds, worth $363,053. The reduction in this fishery is
traceable chiefly to the transfer of the industry to New York State. It
is therefore apparent that the food fisheries of the New England States
have increased in quantity and have decreased but slightly in value.

One of the most noticeable changes is in connection with the lob-
ster fishery. The total catch of lobsters in 1889 was 30,449,603 pounds, ~
worth $833,736, and in 1898 14,661,808 pounds, worth $1,276,968. The
yield of this fishery has therefore diminished more than 50 per cent
in quantity and increased more than 50 per cent in value.

The total number of persons engaged in the fisheries of the New
England States was 35,445, distributed as follows: Maine, 16,954; New
Hampshire, 154; Massachusetts, 14,177; Rhode Island, 1,687; and
Connecticut, 2,473. A total decrease of 1,091 is shown since 1889.

The amount of capital invested in the fisheries was $19,637,036, an
apparent decrease of $437,758, caused by the transfer of the menhaden
fishery and the omission of certain valuations which were included
in the former canvass.

The vessels employed in the fisheries numbered 1,427, and were
valued with their outfits at $4,224,339. The apparatus of capture was
valued at $1,218,898. Pound nets and weirs represent the greatest
value among the apparatus, aggregating $405,424. Hand and trawl
lines are next in importance, valued at $278,815. Lobster pots were
worth $219,045; seines, $132,140, and gill nets, $100,679.

Massachusetts leads in the New England States in respect to impor-
tance of the fisheries, the products being worth $4,454,139. Maine is
next, with fisheries valued at $2,654,919, followed by Connecticut at
$1,559,599, Rhode Island at $955,058, and New Hampshire at $48,987.
The yield of the entire region amounted to 393,355,570 pounds and was
valued at $9,672,702.

The fishery for cod, cusk, haddock, hake, and pollock leads all the
others, being valued at $2,798,109. The oyster fishery of Connecticut
and Rhode Island, worth $1,910,684, ranks next, followed by the lob
ster fishery, valued at $1,276,967; the herring fishery at $596,688; th
halibut fishery, at $569,515, and the mackerel fishery at $481,933.

Other important fisheries are those maintained for alewives, smelt
blue-fish, seup, and sword-fish.

THE FUR-SEAL ROOKERIES OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS.

Near the close of the fiscal year Mr. Townsend left for the Pribilof
lands to ascertain the condition of the fur-seal rookeries, in accord-
ce with the requirements of the law respecting the relations of the
sh Commission with the fur-seal fisheries. The customary records
lating to the size of the rookeries in 1899 were secured in part by
e resident Treasury agents upon the islands. The American seal
rd is still declining on account of the continuance of pelagic sealing
Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean.

a a number of years all the seals born on several of the more
cessible rookeries have been counted systematically. The counts,

eg with those of previous seasons, show more or less
c ase in the number of seals born from year to year. The dimi-
tion at the herd is shown also in the annual photographs and
rts of the rookeries. The total number of seals taken on the Prib-
f Islands in 1899 by the lessees under Government supervision was
812. Seals of the class available for killing, the surplus males,
some less in number from year to year.

rr ‘he ——° catch made from the American herd by the Canadian
ing fleet of 26 vessels during 1899 was 33,755. Of this number
8 4 were taken in Bering Sea and 10,471 in the North Pacific Ocean.
F. C., 1900—12

178 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

To the vessel catch should be added 892 seals taken off the Northwest
coast by Indian canoes. The only Canadian vessel sealing in Asiatie
waters took 699 seals, but a fleet of 11 Japanese vessels secured 7,308
seals from the Asiatic herd. One American vessel obtained 336 seals
from the American herd in waters south of the award area.

NOTES ON THE FISHERIES.
THE WHALE FISHERY.

The vessels engaged in whaling during the year 1899 numbered 48,
3 additional vessels having been lost; 22 vessels were employed in
the Pacific Ocean and 26 in the Atlantic. The yield of the whale
fishery for the year amounted to 11,903 barrels of sperm oil, valued
at $583,274; 3,827 barrels of whale oil, valued at $133,945, and 320,100
pounds of whalebone, valued at $864,270.

CARP.

Investigations of the fisheries of the Great Lakes and the Missis-
sippi and its tributaries, now being made by field agents of this divi-
sion, reveal the fact that an important quantity of carp is finding its
way into the fish markets—chiefly those of the larger Eastern cities.

The catch of carp in Lake Erie in 1899 amounted to 3,633,679
pounds, valued at $51,456. The report of the Illinois Fishermen’s
Association shows that the catch of carp in the Illinois River is
greater than that of all other species combined, the quantity of carp
taken in 1899 amounting to 6,332,990 pounds, valued at $189,980.
The yield of carp from the Ohio River and two of its tributaries, the
Cumberland and Wabash Rivers, during the same year, amounted to
115,387 pounds, worth $6,654. q

These figures show an increase in the quantity of carp derived from
the above-named waters amounting to nearly nine times the quantity
yielded six yearsago. During the same period the total fishery prod
ucts of Lake Erie increased more than 15,000,000 pounds and those of ~
the Illinois River more than 5,000,000 pounds. There are, therefore,
no indications that the presence of the carp has produced any injuri:
ous effect on the native species associated with it, but, on the contrary,
its presence may have a salutary effect, the young of the carp doubt
less being food for black bass and other species. It is certain that th
black bass has increased in the Illinois River along with the carp, th
yield of black bass in 1899 being greater than ever before, amountin
to over 70,000 pounds: The last canvass of the fisheries of the Middl
Atlantic States, made in 1897, shows the yield of carp from the coasté
waters of these States to have been 1,333,263 pounds, valued a
$63,567, whereas in 1891 the catch amounted to only 46,798 pounds
worth $1,715. More than half of the catch of carp in this region I
1897 was made in New Jersey, most of the fish being taken in partl
brackish water. Complete returns respecting the interior waters no’
being investigated will probably show that the carp is entering largel
into the food supply of the country.

EASTERN OYSTERS IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY.

This industry has reached large proportions. From 1887 to 1900
more than 11,000 tons of eastern yearling seed oysters have been
shipped to the bay of San Francisco and laid out for further growth.
‘The time required for seed oysters to become marketable is from two
to four years, according to the sizes demanded by Pacific Coast
consumers. The beds of transplanted oysters occupy flats or tide
lands and are exposed during the lowest tides. The areas where they
are laid out are inclosed by fences of closely set stakes, which lessen
the action of the waves in these shallows and keep out stingrays and
other marauders. The value of the mature oysters sold is consider-
ably over $500,000 a year, the quantity and value being on the increase.
_*An important fact in connection with the maturing of large quan-
tities of eastern oysters in the bay is the extensive degree of propaga-
tion that has been goingon. The writer has investigated this subject
several times during the past ten years, finding each time evidences
of greater natural increase.

For a numberof years considerable quantities of oysters of volun-
eer growth have been picked at low tide from areas remote from the
tre nsplanted beds, and it has been ascertained that oystering of this
haracter has been carried on without decreasing the supply.

_ Oyster spat from extensive planted beds along the west side of the
bay drifts with the prevailing winds, toward the east side, where a very
considerable set takes place, over an area more than 20 miles long.
-Here there are broad stretches of shell banks of the small worth-
ess native oyster of San Francisco Bay, upon the shells of which the
young of the eastern oyster find lodgment. The strong winds of mid-
ummer create a heavy wave wash over the reefs, drifting the light
nells of the natives and burying many of the eastern oysters growing
mong them. Fencing lessens the action of the waves and protects
he interests of the owners. From a tract of 150 acres in this section
if the bay, recently inclosed, over a million oysters were picked before
any imported seed was laid out. It appears that the amount of spat set
free from the transplanted beds is increasing, and the indications are
it with the fencing in and planting of the shell banks of the east side
he increment from natural propagation will grow in importance.

THE LOBSTER FISHERY.

The lobster fishery is prosecuted to a greater or less extent in all
the States on the Atlantic coast from Maine to Delaware, but nearly
75 per cent of the total annual yield is from the waters of Maine.
The statistics show that the total yield in 1880 was 20,128,033 pounds,
valued at $488,871, and in 1889 it was 30,771,573 pounds, valued at
$861,297, an increase of 10,643,540 pounds in quantity and of $372,426
in value. There has since been a great reduction in the quantity of
lobsters annually produced, but the value has been constantly increas-
ing. In 1898 the total yield was 15,188,062 pounds, valued at
$1,318,299, a decrease, as compared with 1889, of over 50 per cent
in quantity and an increase of over 50 per centin value. The greater
part of this decrease in quantity has occurred in Maine and Massa-
chusetts. From 1889 to 1898 the lobster yield of Maine declined
about 55 per cent in quantity, while it increased about 70 per cent
in value. In Massachusetts there has been an almost steady decline
in the yield since 1880. In that year the catch was 4,315,416 pounds,
valued at $158,229, and in 1898 it was 1,693,741 pounds, valued at
$147,702, a decrease of 2,621,675 pounds, or 60 per cent in quantity
and of $10,527, or about 6 per cent, in value.

The following table shows the quantity and value of lobsters taken
in each of the lobster-producing States in each year for which thi
fishery has been investigated from 1880 to 1898:

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 18]

THE PEARL FISHERY OF THE TUAMOTU ARCHIPELAGO.

During the voyage of the Albatross in the South Pacific Ocean in
1899, the writer made some investigations respecting the pearl fish-
eries of the Tuamotu Islands. This archipelago, more than 1,500
miles in length, consists of atolls, or low coral islands having large
inclosed lagoons, within which the pearl fisheries are prosecuted.
_ The yield of pearl shell fluctuates according to the sections of the
archipelago thrown open for pearl diving each year, and the methods
of conducting the fishery have changed somewhat since it was inves-
tigated for the French Government, in 1884, by Mr. G. Bouchon-
Brandeley. Until 1889 the pearl! fisheries of the Tuamotus were free
te all, and were participated in by both natives and whites, the latter
as well as some of the natives employing diving suits. From 1890 to
1892 the use of diving apparatus was subject to special regulations,
put since 1892 it has been prohibited, with the idea of restricting the
taking of pearl shell and preserving the industry for the benefit of
th e native inhabitants.
_ Under present methods pearling is permitted each year in certain
lagoons only, others being closed for periods of two or three years to
permit the growth of shell. The different pearl-bearing lagoons are
thus worked in succession. The diving season begins October 1, the
natives concentrating at the most favorable places upon the official
announcement of the list of islands to be fished. The industry
employs about 20 small sail vessels and 600 boats or canoes.
The more important pearling islands are: Hiqueru, Hao, Raroia,
Katiu, Takapoto, Ahe, Manihi, Apataki, Marutea, Aratika, Faka-
“rava, Kaukura, Marokau, and Mangareva. Hiqueru is by far the
most important of the group. It is worked at intervals of three years,
its output of shell averaging over 250 tons per season. In 1896 the
irst month’s diving produced about half the entire yield of the archi-
belago. Hao Island is next in importance for pearl shell. Pearls
appear to be derived chiefly from Kaukura.
At the opening of the season of 1899 the Albatross called at Hiqueru,
where over 3,000 persons were gathered, representing the majority
i the pearling population of the Tuamotus. The bulk of the pearl
hell was being taken from depths of 8 to 10 fathoms. Less than 25
per cent of the divers work at depths greater than 12 fathoms, while
a few only can descend to 20 fathoms. When conditions are best,
good divers earn $2.20 to $2.50 (Chilean silver) a week.
_ The industry here as elsewhere is based on pearl shell or mother-of-
earl, worth in the European market $375 to $800 per ton, according
) o the grade. Pearls when found are usually secreted by those dis-
sovering them, and disposed of privately. There are no statistics
“available respecting this feature of the fishery, although the total
alue of the pearls that come from the islands through various chan-
els is known to be considerable.

182 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The following statement respecting the quantity and value of
mother-of-pearl shell from the Tuamotu Archipelago, exported from
Tahiti during the period from 1873 to 1898 was secured with the assist-
ance of Mr. J. L. Doty, consul of the United States at Tahiti:

A more extended account of the Tuamotu pearl fishery is being pre-

with the pearl fishery of the Philippine Islands.

THE CHINESE SHRIMP FISHERY OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY.

The fishery for shrimps has been conducted in this bay for many
years. The products are marketed fresh in California, or dried and
exported to China, together with certain dried fish also yielded by the —
fishery. The industry is a declining one. When visiting the camps
and fishing grounds in 1891 the writer counted 46 boats. The number |
from which licenses are collected at the present time is 31. The
export of dried shrimps is decidedly less than in former years, while
the quantity of dried fish exported is not great, the total amount
from 1890 to 1898 being a little more than 3,600,000 pounds, or about
equal to the export of shrimp products for any one year prior to 1894.

The following table shows the yield and value of the shrimp fishery
in San Francisco Bay in 1889, 1890, 1891, 1892, 1895, and 1898, thougl
the figures for 1898 are probably saateapieine

There has been considerable local discussion respecting the bearing
Mf the shrimp fishery upon the food of important fishes frequenting
jhe same bay. The fishery can not be conducted successfully without
jhe use of small-meshed nets, which involves the taking of the young
of f many species of fishes which are either themselves valuable fish or
Supposed to be the food of such species. Many of these are sculpins
wr other unimportant kinds. A careful search was made for young
had, salmon, and striped bass, but none were found. The food of

the important fishes of this region is not yet well known.

184 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

Investigations of this subject by the writer in May and November
revealed the presence of the following fishes in the shrimp nets as they

A METHOD OF RECORDING EGG DEVELOPMENT, FOR USE OF
| FISH-CULTURISTS,

By CLAUDIUsS WALLICH.

In watching the development of fish embryos it is observed that the
rate of growth of the embryo is dependent almost directly upon the
‘temperature of the water. It has been customary to refer to the vari-
ous stages of growth as making their appearance in a certain number
of days or hours at a given mean water-temperature. As this mean
is obviously subject to great variations, the lengths of time at which
given phenomena appear are subject to correspondingly great varia-
tions. Then, too, in the embryonic life of each separate species of
fish there are a number of definite periods that must be well known
to the fish-culturist, for efficient work; such, for instance, as the begin-
ning of the critical stage, the ending of the same, the earliest shipping
age for eyed eggs, the latest shipping age fora given distance and
conditions, the length of the incubation period, and the time required
for sac absorption—all very important questions, concerning which
accurate and immediate knowledge is often required. Again, the
given mean water-temperature for the varying lengths of time at which
these definite phenomena appear is not and can not well be computed
until the phenomena have actually occurred, and it is therefore impos-
sible to closely predict their time of occurrence.

‘The complexity of these data, as well as their importance, makes
‘very desirable a simpler, more convenient, and more efficient terminol-
ogy expressive of the rate of growth than the one above mentioned.

During the season of 1898 and 1899, at the United States Fish Com-
mission station at Baird, Cal., there was tested a system of recording
egg development which may be termed the ‘‘temperature or thermal
unit system.” By temperature unit (t. u.) is meant 1° F. above 32° for
a period of 24 hours. Thus a mean temperature of 36° F. for one day
is equivalent to 4 temperature units, ete. One degree centigrade for
the same period would make a more convenient unit, as it would do
away with the subtraction of 32 each day to find the resultant units;
but as Fahrenheit thermometers were in general use the Fahrenheit
scale was employed in this case.

_ To use this system of recording egg development, subtract 32 from
‘the mean water-temperature of the day the first eggs are taken. This
gives the age of the eggs in temperature units on the second day.

The temperature units of the second day are added to those of the
187

188 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

first, and in this manner those of each succeeding day throughout the
season are added to the total of the day previous. At a station where
the temperature units are reckoned daily from the opening of the
season the age of any lot of eggs may be at once known by subtract-
ing from the reading on the day of examination the reading of the day
on which the eggs were taken. In practice it is found simple and
convenient, and as the season advances the answers to many questions
may be had from this interesting column of figures.

The result of the tests at Baird shows that the incubation period of
the quinnat salmon is about 900 t. u. From irregular data and some
observation, it seems that this is also the number required for brook
trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), while from similar data it is thought that
rainbow trout (Salmo trideus) require a somewhat less number. Each
species undoubtedly has its peculiar norm. ,

This unit seems preeminently to include the factors determining
the length of the incubation period. Without going deeply into the
merits of the old rule, ‘‘in 50 days at a mean water-temperature of
50° F. trout eggs will hatch, and for each degree warmer or colder 5
days less or more will be required, the difference, however, increasing
the farther we recede from 50°,” it will be seen at a glance that the
law is an empirical one, and while recognizing perhaps the factors of:
incubation, it is not sufficiently accurate and explicit to be available
in determining the entire period when the mean is slightly removed
from 50° and is entirely silent as to intermediate stages. There are —
but two important variable factors that affect this period, namely,
time and the temperature of the water. There are many other con-
ditions that affect incubation, such as quality, volume, aeration, etc.,
conditions of such importance that success is not possible if they are
not right, and these conditions must in some degree affect the length
of the incubation period. The two main factors, however, as before
stated, are time and the temperature of the water.

As water freezes at 32° F., and will, of course, congeal all life within
it when frozen, rendering growth, if not life itself, impossible, it is
only rational, so far as temperature is concerned, that this be the
pointof starting. In many stations, it is true, hatching operations are
conducted in waters that are very cold, and it would seem that the
eggs of Salmonide could hardly be subjected to as many as 900 t. u.
before hatching. Cod work in winter time is also done at very low
temperatures. It must be remembered, however, that the growth of
the embryo salmonoid in such stations takes place mainly in the fall
before the waters reach extremely low temperatures, and again in the
spring when they begin to warm up. It is also conceded that cod
work at 32° or 33° is very unsatisfactory.

It is hardly necessary to say that neither the ‘‘ temperature-unit
system,” nor any other ‘‘ system,” will give uniform results in waters
which through unsuitable temperatures will not produce healthy fry;

METHOD OF RECORDING EGG DEVELOPMENT. 189

‘such, for example, as the extremely low temperatures in cod work and
abnormally high temperatures for those species of Salmonide that
naturally seek glacial waters for their spawning-grounds.

The accompanying extract from the temperature sheets of Baird
Station shows the record of water-temperatures and the manner in
which the age of the eggs was kept. It will be noticed that the daily
mean is compiled from the morning and evening temperatures only,
as by repeated trials they were shown to be the maxima and minima.
It would have been better, perhaps, to have had readings every 3°
ours, as the times during which these temperatures prevailed would
have been more accurately gauged and a slightly different norm would
probably have been found. The test, however, was thought to have

been sufficiently thorough to show the value of the system.

perature units required for incubation. It will be noted that although |
the period of incubation varied from 48 to 90 days, yet the greater
number of eggs hatched at very close to 900t. u. The failure of a few
lots to obey the general rule in most cases seemed to be due to some
special cause, such as a sudden fall in temperature when near the
hatching stage; forexample, those hatching on January 8and 13. Fry
had already begun to appear at the top of the baskets before January
1, when a heavy snowstorm caused a drop of 5° in the temperature of
the water and delayed hatching for several days. A sudden rise in
temperature at hatching time also unduly accelerates hatching; note
those hatched on February 19, 22, and 28; about this time abnormal
variations of temperature prevailed, reaching a maximum difference
between morning and noon of 19°.

* Very few eggsin this basket. Hatching always seems slower with a single layer of eggs than
in full baskets; probably less animal heat.

The main advantage of this system of recording egg developmen
lies in the fact that information is secured at a time when it is needed.
_ By this it is not intended that entire reliance should be placed upon
the record for determining the condition of the eggs. On the con-
trary, the chief dependence should always be placed on their appear
ance, especially in determining how far along they are in the tender
stage and when they are well out of the same. The information
obtained from the record is corroborative of our work and enables it
to be checked up. For example, when selecting eggs for shipment a

_ short calculation will tell just what eggs are most snitable. Suppose
a foreign shipment requiring a two or three weeks’ journey is to be
made. It is desirable to select the oldest eggs that will arrive before
hatching, with a margin for safety besides. By estimating the prob-
able temperature of the package, the number of temperature units
required for the journey can be readily computed. Thus, if the tem-
_ perature of the package be maintained at about 50° F., in 20 days it
will be subjected 20 times 18, or 360 t. u., and if 100 t. u. be allowed
for excess in temperature or delay on the journey a total of 460 t. u.
is required. By subtracting these 460 t. u. from 900 t. u. it is seen
that eggs of an age of 440 t. u. are required—so young that the eye-
spot is barely visible when viewed in the ordinary way, but old enough
to stand shipment. If this 440 t. u. be now subtracted from the read-
ing on the day of shipment, the remainder corresponds to the reading
_ of the day on which the required eggs were taken. Eggs for long for-
eign shipments are especially difficult to select, and any evidence
corroborative of the exact age of the eggs at a time when mistakes are
_ particularly to be avoided is very gratefully received.
In handling quinnat-salmon eggs at Baird Station it is safe and
_ practical to pick them till they have an age of 100 t. u., when they are
_ earefully picked for the last time before entering thé tender stage.
It is not thought that the entrance on this stage involves any sudden
transformation, but the eggs are believed to increase daily in sensi-
tiveness from the time they are taken until a time when, with the
apparatus employed, it is nolonger safe to handle them. Afterenter-
ing the tender stage they are left undisturbed until the germ disk has
completed its growth around the egg. In the ‘‘summer run” eggs
this oceurred very close to 225 t.u. At this time it was found safe to
uncover them; that is, to raise the baskets gently until the contained
eggs are near the surface of the water and then suddenly, but care-
fully, to lower it, thus forcing the water up through the eggs and
removing any accumulations of sediment that may have been depos-
ited upon them, until they are clean or nearly so. Sediment usually
collects only upon the upper layer of eggs. In performing this opera-
tion care must be taken to allow all the eggs to settle before it is
repeated. After they have been treated in this manner for several
days and have an age of about 300 t. u., they are quite out of the
tender stage and may be subjected to daily pickings, the same as older
eges.
_ In observing eggs from time to time while in the tender stage the
most striking phenomenon and the one most readily seen with the
unaided eye is the ring or loop which defines the germinal layer in its
_ growth around the egg. This ring is visible to the unaided eye as
early as the sixth day, at 57° F., or at an age of 125 t. u., as seen in
= . 6 of the accompanying sketches, when it is ca uanenaly not yet
fully formed. It retains its circular shape until it passes the equa-

torial position, which occurs on the eighth day, at 57° F., or 175 t. u.,
after which it gradually assumes a loop-like or pear-shaped form while
traversing the lower hemisphere. This shape becomes the more pro-—
nounced the more nearly it approaches closure. This thickened blas-
todermic ring is the seat of the greatest vital activity in the layer,
and any shock sufficient to cause the death of the egg first manifests
its effects in the whitening of the ring and its surrounding tissue.
The distinct outline of the fish is first seen when the ring is well
down to the equator of the egg. This appearance of the outline of
the fish, however, does not indicate that the tender stage is passed,
for it is seen that a rupture of the germinal layer is quite fatal and
is liable to occur until the egg is completely enveloped and some
little time has elapsed to allow for the hardening or toughening of the
layer. |
The experiment that seemed to force the above conclusions con-
sisted in taking a few eggs at a time and allowing them to fall from
different elevations upon the canvas trough-covers, after which they
were at once replaced in the water. Death following a severe jar for
a given stage was indicated by an almost immediate whitening of the
egg, but in the case of a less severe jar this clouding of the substance
of the egg took place only after the lapse of several hours.
_ During the entire summer run of 1898 the blastopore closed, with
very slight variations, at 225 t.u. When, on examining the eggs, it
was found necessary to uncover a new lot, the record was always first
consulted to find the age in temperature units, and the uniformity of _
the record in this respect established the fact that the ring closed at
225 t.u. However, when it came to the fall run, with its colder water,
it was found that the same phenomenon occurred at 250 t. u., and this
number was likewise uniform for the entire fall run; but as fall-run
eges, with but few exceptions, hatched at as close to 900 t. u. as did
the summer-run eggs, it must be concluded either that up to a certain
period of its growth the progress of the embryo is more rapid (when
measured in temperature units) in warmer temperatures than in colder
ones, or else it might be considered a point in favor of the argument
that the spring and fall runs are made by distinct and separate vari
eties of fish. The former is probably the case, as the slight variations
observed in a long summer-run series seem to point that way.
In attempting a description of the accompanying sketches of sal-
mon embryos one is almost necessarily restricted to terms that are
not always scientific. Phenomena that appear to the unaided eye in
the entire egg are often quite different from the real biological changes
taking place in the egg and which can only be seen by means of see
tions and a high-power microscope. Thus, when reference is made
to the ‘‘nucleus,” the dark central spot or kernel that is visible
the unaided eye is intended. The true nucleus is microscopic in size
and is situated in the upper part of the germ disk, where, after the

METHOD OF RECORDING EGG DEVELOPMENT. 193

two processes of cell division resulting in the extrusion of the polar
bodies, it unites with the male nucleus derived from the spermatozoon,
which in the meantime has entered the egg through the micropyle, has
become embedded in the germ disk, and has separated into a nucleus
and its accompanying aster. The union of these two nuclei and the
formation of an aster inaugurate the process of segmentation. All
these processes are microscopic, and not even a suggestion of what is
taking place could be inferred from the external appearance.
These sketches are intended simply to give an idea of what can be
seen with the unaided eye during the tender stage; and as landmarks
showing progress in that stage it is hoped that they may be of some
: practical value. They show stages in the growth of summer-run
-quinnat-salmon eggs with the water at a mean temperature of 57° F.
‘Sketches were made daily, and the age of the stage in temperature
units was noted. Asthe water grew colder, it was noticed that while
it sometimes took several days longer to reach a certain stage, yet
the number of temperature units was always, within narrow limits,
the same for a given stage. This uniformity of results at the given
stages is the feature of the system that seems most strongly to recom-
mend it for general use, and while different stations, with their differ-
ing conditions of water and weather, may produce slightly different
results, still, as the conditions at any one station, year in and year
out, are the same, the resultant differential will be the same.
Fig. 1 represents the egg about 14 hours after impregnation and
shows the concentration of minute vesicles at the pole; also their gen-
eral distribution over the entire surface of the egg. They are quite
sparsely scattered, however, and soon draw up into the upper third of
the egg. ‘A bluish translucent substance occupies the upper quarter
of the egg, always rising to the top as the egg is turned. As no
microscopic work was done at this time, this substance can not be
positively named, but it is believed to be the germ disk attached to
the inner egg or yolk mass, the whole inner egg turning with the disk.
The eggs are extremely slippery when young. This quality is retained
until they enter the tender stage, but is lost before they emerge from it.
_ Fig. 2 represents the egg 1 day old at a meair water-temperature of
57° F., or at an age of 25+. u. It shows a distinct ‘“‘nucleus” sur-
‘ounded by a clouded band of very minute vesicles. The width of
his band is about equal to the diameter of the nucleus. Around it
ire vesicles which extend down to about one-third the depth of the egg.
Fig. 3 is very similar to Fig. 2, the nucleus and band being larger.
“it represents 2 days’ growth at the same water-temperature, or an

Fig. 5 shows the egg 4 days old. Central area clearer than at 3
days. .

Fig. 6 represents 1e egg at 5 days old, or an age of 125 t. u., and
shows now for the i ‘st time the presence of a secondary ring, not
quite complete, with vesicles on both sides of it. The inner ring is of
about the same appearance as on the day previous. This secondary
‘‘ring” is the euter edge of the germ disk or blastoderm and forms
the margin of the blastopore.

Fig. 7 shows the egg with 6 full days’ growth at 57° F., or 150 t. u.
The blastoderm is now well developed and has grown cutnnatie to
pass the zone of vesicles. It is a very interesting as well as very
delicate stage of the egg. Phenomena appear: that are not seen the
day previous nor the day following. It is at this time that the laying
of the ‘‘ neural keel” or forming of the body outline of the fish takes
place. This outline can be quite readily detected the following day ©
at the same water-temperature.

Fig. 8 represents the growth of the germinal layer halfway down
the egg. Its edge, previously referred to as forming the ‘‘ ring” or
‘‘loop” or blastopore, has the appearance of an addled ring. The
body outline of the fish is now seen for the first time, the tail extend- ~
ing down to the edge of the ring. The relative positions of the tail
of the fish and the ring do not change. The edge of the germ disk, in ~
its further growth finally encircling the egg, seems to remain attached —
at this point and closes up in the shape of a continuously diminishing
loop, disappearing after the tenth day at 57° F. :

Fig. 9, at 200 t. u., shows a partial closing of the sais and a faint
Sorin wian of the head into two eye-spots; also the appearance of ©
a line crossing the body back of the head, which in a few days seems
to deflect from this position and extend out forward. This line finally —
branches out and assumes the bright color of an artery. ;

Fig. 10, at 8% days old, or an age of 215 t. u., shows the ier dis:
tinctly as such. Body outtinn clearer.

Fig. 11 shows the egg. on the tenth day, or 9 full days old, 225 t. u
The loop is closed, and its remains may be seen hanging to the tail of
the fish. The artery may now be seen extending out from the head,
although it has not yet assumed its bright-red color. The fish is nov
practically formed, though the germ layer is still quite tender ané
liable to rupture.

One of the commonest monstrosities among young salmon is that
tailless fish; and as this thickened blastodermic ring forms the cauda
plate, it is thought that an injury to the embryo caused by roug
treatment at this time may be responsible for the loss.

Fig. 12 shows the egg at 14 days old, or 350 t. u. The artery pro
jecting out from the head has assumed color, the tail is bent upward
and the fish is capable of motion. It is now well out of the tende
stage, and must be kept free and clean to insure that degree of aera
tion which the increasing color of the artery shows that it requires.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

The following report on the fisheries of the Middle Atlantic States
has been prepared from data collected by agents of this Commission
in 1898 and 1899, the information relating to the year 1897, with sup-
plementary statistics on New York and New Jersey for 1898.

The statistics presented for the various States of this region relate
wholly to the commercial fisheries of the coastal waters, in which are
included the lower sections of the coast rivers. The fisheries of the
interior waters have not been considered.

The general results of this work have already been published in
Statistical Bulletins Nos. 11. and 13, and in the report of the Com-
missioner for 1899.

The report has been prepared under the direction of Mr. CL
Townsend, assistant in charge of the division of fisheries.

The ingiitriés in the field were made by agents of the division, as
follows: C. H. Stevenson in Maryland and New York; W. A. Wilcox
in Virginia; T. M. Cogswell in Virginia and Muzylend: Ansley Hall
in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey; John N. Cobb in
Mary land, Delaware, Ponnsyisi and New Jersey; W. A. Roberts
in Wir inia: Maryland, and New Jersey; and E. S. King in ergs
Delaware, and Pennsylvania.

Mr. Townsend spent a few days in visiting certain fisheries in
New Jersey and New York, and Mr. J. B. Wilson was employed
temporarily in Virginia and Nex York.

The field agents have assisted in the preparation of the statistical
tables and have made contributions to the explanatory notes relating
to the States canvassed by them.

1 _ STATISTICS OF THE FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
STATES.

GENERAL NOTES AND STATISTICS.

_ The number of persons engaged in the coast fisheries of the Middle
Atlantic States in 1897 was 95,316. Of this number, 73,169 were
fishermen and 22,147 sieucamien. The States which had the greatest
iaber of persons employed in their fisheries were Maryland and
Virginia, the former having 42,812 and the latter 28,277. New Jersey
comes third, with 12,494, followed by New York with 7,443, Delaware
with 2,392, and Pennsylvania with 1,898. Since the general canvass of
the fisheries of this region in 1891 there has been an increase in the
number of persons employed of 5,808. This increase has taken place
: four of the States here considered, while in two States there
lave been decreases. The largest increase © cae occurred in Virginia,
_ amounting’ to 4,682 persons.

_ The capital invested in the fisheries of the region amounted to 815, -
188,615. In Maryland the investment was $5,821,610; in Virginia,
$2,891,536; in New Jersey, $2,371,253; in New Youk. $2,094,869; in
Pennsylvania, $1,601,528, and in Delaware, $407,819. As compared

i vith the year 1891 the capital invested in the fisheries is shown to
_ have increased $787,807, the increase being largest in New York.
"The number of reall employed was 3,874, having a tonnage of
$8,315 tons, and a value, with their outfits, fat 84, 167,469. The boats
om loved in the shore furies numbered 32,290, and were valued, with
accessory scows and floats, at $1,875,965. The apparatus of capture

was valued at $1,515,723. The value of shore property and cash

capital was $7,629,458.
‘The products of the fisheries, aggregating 594,172,210 pounds, were
| valued at $14,324,463. This amount is apportioned as follows: Mary-
“land, $3,617,306; New Jersey, $3,614,484; New York, $3,391,595;
Virginia, $3,179,498; Pennsylvania, $269,507, and Delaware, $252,123.
the oyster fishery, which is the most important in this region, was
Valued at $8,866,829. The shad fishery ranks next in importance, being
yalued at $981,246. The clam fishery was valued at $937,872. Other
“important species were blue-fish, valued at $581,563; menhaden, at
473,359; squeteague, at $380,371; crabs, at $337, 264, and alewives,

+ $229, 983.

198 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The fishery products since 1891 have increased 3,717,841 pounds in
quantity and have decreased $4,699,011 in value. The States which show
an increase in the quantity of their products are New Jersey, Dela-
ware, and Virginia, while there has been a decrease in value in all of
the States except New Jersey. It is interesting to note that the yield
of shad, a species which has been the subject of extensive artificial
propagation in this region, has increased 5,655,151 pounds in quantity
and has decreased $235,343 in value. The yield of cod has increased
2,480,537 pounds and $25,205 in value. The cod has also been exten-
sively planted in the inshore waters north of this region.

In making comparisons of the present condition of the fisheries of
this region with their condition in former years, the following earlier
publications of the United States Fish Commission may be consulted
advantageously:

Note.—In the first two sections of the above table, comparing the statistics for 1897 with those
1891, it has been necessary, in order to secure the same basis of comparison for both years, to includ
in the data for 1897 an estimate of the number of persons engaged and the amount of capital investe
in the wholesale fishery trade of New York City, based on statistics for the year 1898, no data on thi
wholesale trade of that city having been obtained for the year 1897.

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 203

FISHERIES OF NEW YORK.

|
Compared with 1891 the returns for the fishery industries of New
York State show a considerable decrease as regards the total number
of persons employed and the value of the products, the former item
decreasing from 12,246 in 1891 to 9,185 in 1898, and the latter from
$4,817,369 to $3,545,189 in the same period. ir the item of value of
investment there has been a large increase—from $5,283,200 in 1891 to
$7,589,787 in 1898; but this increase has been principales in the val-
uation of shore property and cash capital, the returns for which show
an increase from $3,374,655 to $5,741,221. Omitting these items, the
value of investment has detticnsed eiviru the period under itis apecens
Bom $1,908,545 to $1,848,566.
The débirtsise in the mitt of fishermen of this State has been
> principally i in the shore or boat fisheries, due not only to the reduced
extent of the fisheries, but also to the semiprofessional fishermen find-
ing employment in the various other industries developing along the
coast. The number of shoresmen has also decreased, while on the
other hand the vessel fisheries have largely increased, especially those
or blue-fish and menhaden.
_ The most important fishery industry of the State is the oyster
‘industry, which in 1898 yielded 56 per cent in value of the total prod-
z ts. Next comes the menhaden fishery, with a yield of $405,488, or
8 per cent of the total; but these figures fail in doing justice to that
industry, since the refideriny of the fish into oil and fertilizer gives
employment to nearly as many men and as large a capitalization as
t the taking of the fish. The blue-fish fishery is almost as important as
} the menhaden, the value of the product in 1898 being $387,167. This
is the most important fishery of the State for the taking of food-fish
| 2 oper, and its extent has increased almost constantly during the past
| fen years, the total yield in 1898 being 11,214,433 pounds, whereas ten
i years previously it was less than half that amount. This is not due to
n increase in abundance of that species, but to its enhanced popu-
Init as a food article and to an increase in the size of the fleet and
the extension of the fishing season and grounds, vessels now leaving
| 4 5 Bort j in March and going as far south as Cape Lookout. ‘The fisheries
for hard clams, cod, shad, squeteague, and soft clams, which, in the
order named, rank next in casa all show a decrease from the extent
of ten years ago. With the exception of blue-fish and menhaden, the
on ily products showing an increase as compared with ten years ago are
irgeon, lobsters, mackerel, and scallops.
b ‘The returns for the extent of the fisheries of New York in 1897 and
1898 are here presented in three tables, relating, respectively, to
jantity and value of the products, the persons employed, and the
3 apital invested.

STATISTICS OF THE FISHERIES BY COUNTIES.

1 “The following tables show the extent of the fisheries of New York
by counties. Suffolk County easily leads in persons employed and in
uantity and value of products, the yield amounting to 87 per cent of
he total weight and 43 per cent of the total value in the State. It also
has the greatest variety of products, nearly every kind of fishery
roducts in the State being found in the limits of that county. ‘The
most important fisheries:are for oysters and menhaden, their value
iweregating $1,181,013, or 75 per cent of the value of the total yield.
-rominent among other products in this county are hard clams, scal-
lops, squeteague, sturgeon, flounders, blue-fish, butter-fish, and scup.
Phe sturgeon fishery, prosecuted on the south side of this county from
‘ire Island to Amaganset, is a comparatively new industry, originating
about seven years ago.

206 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

Next to Suffolk, the counties most prominent in the fisheries are
Queens, New York, Richmond, and Kings, in the order named, the
value of products in those counties in 1898 ranging from $620,591 in
Queens to $374,870 in Kings County. The oyster yield is the most
valuable in each except New York, in which the blue-fish fishery is far
the most valuable. In those counties bordering on the Hudson the
fisheries are of much less importance, the principal species being shad
and alewives, which are taken chiefly in gill nets and seines.

THE SHAD FISHERY.

Compared With other fisheries of New York State, the shad fishery
bears a relatively less important position than in any other of the
Middle Atlantic States. Most of the catch in this State is taken from
the Hudson River. The principal shad counties are Ulster, Dutchess,
and Westchester, which yielded more in 1897 and 1898 than all other
counties Sabiwed: as Shown by the following table:

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIO STATES. 911

THE PRODUCTS BY DIFFERENT FORMS OF APPARATUS.

__ The yield of the fisheries according to the apparatus used is given
in detail for each form of apparatus in the following series of tables.
_As regards value of the product, dredges, tongs, and rakes are the
most important forms of apparatus, their catch in 1898 being valued at
_ $2,310,876, consisting chiefly of oysters, hard clams, and soft clams, and,
to a less extent, of scallops, shells, and hard crabs. The shells reported
‘in these returns are the shells of jingles and quarter-decks, which are
caught in Peconic Bay for sale to Connecticut oyster-growers.

Of the forms of apparatus employed in taking fish proper the seine
is the most important, although in value of the product it is nearly
equaled by lines, the value of the yield of the former in 1898 being
$456,381, and ot the latter $441,251. The principal species taken by
“means of seines is the menhaden, the yield of which was 159,992,645
pounds, worth $399,558. Practically all of these were used in the
manufacture of oil and fertilizer. The yield of food-fish by seines is
‘very small, amounting in 1898 to only 1,892,847 pounds, worth
$56,823, and consisting principally of shad, carp, squeteague, striped
bass, flounders, etc.

Lines constitute the most important form of apparatus for the cap-
ture of food-fish in New York State, the yield in 1898 aggregating
$441,251, or more than the yield of food fish proper in all other appa-
ratus in the State. The most important species in the line fishery is
the blue-fish, the yield of which in 1898 was valued at $353,160, or 80
per cent of the total line catch. Cod ranks second in importance as
regards the value of the catch, amounting to $67,725, or over three
times as much as all other species taken, exclusive of blue-fish. The
other species consist principally of sea bass, haddock, and red snapper.
The gill-net fishery is prosecuted in nearly every county bordering
the coastal waters, and next to the line fishery it yields the greatest
return of -food-fish, amounting in 1898 to 4,849,397 pounds, worth
$144,607. Shad, sturgeon, and squeteague made up the principal
tems, the yield of shad being 1,509,737 pounds, worth $52,736; of
‘sturgeon, 406,011 pounds, worth $46, 468, including the caviar; and
iiasteacue, 351,255 pounds, worth $12,225.

"The pound-net fishery, which is prosecuted in Suffolk, Kings,
Queens, and Richmond counties, but principally in the first named,
hows somewhat of a decrease from the conditions of 1891, when the
yield was 9,953,928 pounds, worth $125,719. In 1898 the yield was
»,219,601 pounds, worth $108,939, the most important items being
queteague, 1,486,545 pounds, for which the fishermen received
33,735; butter-fish, 461,436 pounds, worth $15,251; flounders, 439,836
pounds, worth $13,367; and scup, 536,532 pounds, worth $11,348.

The principal fyke-net fishery in New York is for flounders, etc., in
he vicinity of Sag Harbor and Springs, Suffolk County, and for shad

212 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

in Richmond and Kings counties.. The total fyke-net yield is compar-
atively small, aggregating 638,880 pounds, with a valuation of $24,226.
The more important items in this yield are flounders, 316,000 pounds,
worth $10,229; cat-fish, 79,510 pounds, worth $4,671; and shad, 35,130
pounds, worth $1,356.

The eel-pot and spear fisheries yielded 374,685 pounds of eels and
1,160 pounds of flounders, the value of the former being $25,982, and
of the latter $62. These fisheries are carried on principally in Suffolk,
Kings, and Queens counties.

Notwithstanding the decrease in the lobster yield in tease of the
New England States, the returns for that fishery in New York show a
considerable increase, due to an increase in the number of pots used
rather than an increased abundance of that crustacean. |

The following tables, relating to the years 1897 and 1898, present,
by counties, detailed statistics of the yield by each form of apparatus:

THE MENHADEN INDUSTRY.

In comparing the menhaden industry of New York in 1898 with
iat of previous years, a considerable difference is noticed, due to a
msolidation of the principal menhaden plants on the coast. Several
ctories were closed and the facilities of those operated were greatly
gmented. Most of the steamers on the North Atlantic were in-
a ed in the consolidation, and as the home office of the association is
w York, all the vessels are reported from this State in 1898, though
er Mtitge portion of their catch was landed at factories in Delaware,
% e Island, and Maine.

' FISHERIES OFgNEW JERSEY.

Though New Jersey is compara y small in area, its great length
of coast line and favorable geograpi@fal position make it well adaptec
for the prosecution of extensive commercial fisheries.

The lower part of the Hudson River forms the eastern boundary
between New York and New Jersey for about 22 miles, affording
the citizens of the latter State an opportunity for sharing in the
_shad fisheries of that river to the extent-of nearly 50 per cent of
the value of the catch. The quantity of shad taken on the Hudsor
in 1897 was approximately 2,701,649 pounds, valued at $93,512. Of
this quantity 1,195,600 pounds, valued at $44,159, represents the pa
belonging to New Jersey. In 1898 the total catch on the river wa
2,745,590 pounds, valued at $92,228, of which 1,209,920 pounds, valuec
at $41,353, were taken by the New Jersey fishermen.

The other waters valuable for their fisheries which skirt the eas
side of the State north of Sandy Hook are New York Bay, Staten
Island Sound, and Raritan and Princess bays. These are especially
productive of oysters and clams, the two last named having considerable
areas suitable for oyster cultivation. Sandy Hook Bay and the Nave
sink and Shrewsbury rivers inside of Sandy Hook also add materially

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 223

to the resources of the clam and oyster fisheries. Thecoast from Sandy
Hook to Cape May lying directly on the Atlantic Ocean has long been
noted for its pound-net and hand-line fisheries. The shallow bays
throughout the part of this region from Bay Head southward, inclosed
from the ocean by a series of sandy islands or bars, are also very
productive in oysters, clams, and various species of feds

_ The west side of the State i is also highly favored in point of fishery
resources, its entire length being traversed by the Delaware River and
Bay. The three most important fisheries prosecuted in these waters
are the shad, sturgeon, and oyster. The total yield of the river and
bay for these three fisheries in 1897, as near as can be approximated,
s 14,727,296 pounds of shad, ares at $378,476; 2,428,616 pounds
of ANE (1,058,666 dmie after being MiGeod, haters a value,
including caviar, of $124,440, and 2,475,860 bushels of oysters, valued
at $1,118,650; a total value ef $1,621,566. The part of this output
taken by the fishermen of New Jersey was 11,554,307 pounds of shad,
valued at $285,125; 1,951,421 pounds of sturgeon, or 772,349 pounds
fter being dressed, valued, including the caviar, at $89,430, and
1,046,156 bushels of oysters, valued at $910,779; a total value of
1,285,334, or 79 per cent of the total value of the products of
these three fisheries, the remainder being credited to Pennsylvania
and Delaware. In 1898 the quantity of shad taken from this river
and bay by New Jersey fishermen was. 11,433,634 pounds, valued at
$241,374; of sturgeon, 1,298,315 pounds, or about 513,847 pounds after
| being dressed, valued, including caviar, at $96,236, and of oysters about
1,535,397 bushels, valued at $947,638; a total value of $1,285,248.

_ Statistics of Pennsylvania and‘Delaware not being obtained for 1898,
the proportion of the three leading products of the Delaware River
and Bay taken by New Jersey in that year can not be shown, but the
| ‘ regoing are sufficient to illustrate how largely this State is interested
1 the fisheries of the two important rivers, the Delaware and the
Asc, which separate it from adjacent States.

GENERAL STATISTICS.

Inall important respects the fisheries of New Jersey in 1897 and
1898 show an increase over former years, except that the products,
| while greater in quantity, were less in value than in 1892. There has
een an increase over each of the years from 1889 to 1892 in the num-
er of persons and vessels employed, the value of fishing apparatus,
ad, with the exception noted, in the quantity and value of the products.
Ss 1897 the number of persons engaged in the fisheries of the State
$12,494. Of these, 2,484 were employed on vessels fishing and .
ra Reporting fishery pibdinets, 9,400 in the shore or boat fisheries, and
10 in factories and other beehshich kore industry connected with

1e fisheries.

224 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The number of vessels fishing and transporting was 675, having a
value, with their outfits, of $766,844; the number of boats in the shore
fisheries was 6,365, valued at $485,059; the apparatus, consisting of
seines, gill nets, pound nets and weirs, fyke nets, stop nets, hand and
trawl lines, lobster and eel pots, oyster tongs, rakes and dredges, clam
tongs, rakes and hoes, and various small apparatus, was valued at
aareaane $46,759 of this value being used on vessels and $335,199 on
boats. ° The value of shore and accessory property was $563,992, and
the amount of cash-capital utilized was $173,400, a total inv Sota
including the cash capital, of $2,371,253.

In 1898 the number of persons seanceil was slightly less than in the
former year, -being 12,270—2,213 on vessels, 9,418 on boats, and 644
in shore industries. The number of vessels employed was 648, being
27 less than in 1897, and valued, with their outfits, at $746,575; the
number of boats was 6,424, valued at $483,889; the fishing appara-
tus used was valued at $380,111; the shore and accessory property at
$561,048; the cash capital was $165,800, and the total investment
$2,337, 498, being $33,830 less than in the sea year.

The aa of the fisheries in 1897 consisted of 72,429,539 pot
of fish, valued at $1,189,935; 200,155 pounds of caviar, valued at
$67 592s 1,605,264 hard wae in ssinleae: valued at $14,411; 780,639
soft. crabs, valued at $25,658; 562,400 king crabs, valued at $4,495;
99,230 pounds of lobsters, valued at $8,573; 2,896 pounds of shrimp,
valued at $1,565; 3,005,048 bushels of oysters, yalued at $1,682,015;
591,272 bushels of hard clams, valued at $548,795; 74,500 bushels of
soft clams, valued at $63,725; 12,000 bushels of scallops, valued at
$4,000; 50,400 bushels of mussels, valued at $1,575; 13,528 pounds of
terrapin, valued at $6,096, and 14,550 pounds of turtles, valued at $999;
a total value of $3,614,434. |

The-value of all species classed as fish, including caviar, a product
of the sturgeon, was $1,257,527; of the molluscan species, $2,295,110,
and of the crustacean and reptilian species, $61,797. The species 0
fish taken in greatest quantity were alewives, 2,053,802 pounds,”
$9,529; blue-fish, 5,164,173 pounds, $148,257; cod, 3,481,890 pounds,
$71,208; flounders, 1,225,725 pounds, $29,018; menhaden, 30,552,825
pounds, $70,056; sea bass, 2,131,480 pounds, $74,281; shad, 13,000,782
pounds, $342,931, and squeteague, 8,679,182 pounds, $180,989. |

The molluscan fisheries surpass all others in value, the oysters alone
having a greater value than all the species of fish combined. The most
important crustaceans are the hard and soft crabs, although in weight
the catch of king crabs exceeds all the other varieties. The yield of
lobsters is not large, and shrimp are taken only in small quantities.
The catch of shad in New Jersey is greater than in any other State
and comprises about one-fourth of the shad taken in the entire country

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 225

~ In 1898 the value of all species classed as fish, including caviar, was
$1,239,519; of the molluscan species, $2,264,833, and of the crusta-
eean and reptilian species, $59,414—a total value of $3,563,766, being
$50,668 less than in the previous year: There was no marked decrease
any single fishery, but a slight falling off in‘a number of species
mntributed to this result.

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 997
STATISTICS OF THE FISHERIES BY COUNTIES.

_ There are 21 counties in New Jersey, 18 of which are interested to
a greater or less extent in the fishery industry. Essex County is
jnterested only in respect to the fishery trade which is carried on at
Newark, but the remaining 17 counties are directly engaged in fish-
eries. Seven of these counties, Bergen, Hudson, Union, Middlesex,
“Monmouth, Ocean, and Atlantic, and the east side of Burlington and
Cape May, are on the eastern side of the State, prosecuting their fish-
eries mainly in the Atlantic Ocean and tributary bays and rivers, while
the remaining counties, Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Mercer, Camden,
Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, and the west side of Burlington and
and Cape May, are on the Delaware River and Bay.
_ The county having the most extensive fisheries, as determined by
the value of the products, is Monmouth. The number of persons
engaged in the fisheries of this county in 1897 was 2,209. Of these,
403 were employed on vessels, 1,689 on boats, and 117 were shoresmen.
The investment in vessels, boats, fishing apparatus, shore property, and
eash capital amounted to $545,445. The products, consisting of a large
variety of species, were valued at $977,683.
_ In 1898 the number of persons engaged in all branches of fisheries
in the county was 2,279; the amount of capital invested was $563,774,
_ and the value of the products $971,418. The species taken in greatest
abundance in 1897 were blue-fish, 4,264,400 pounds, $113,197; cod,
2,222,000 pounds, $32,620; menhaden, 20,223,800 pounds, $50,266;
squeteague, 5,499,919 pounds, $97,653; oysters, 188,487 bushels, $186-
090; hard clams, 267,861 bushels, $290,654; and soft clams, 70,300
bushels, $61,625. In 1898 blue-fish aggregated 4,163,070 pounds,
$125,548; cod, 1,200,200 pounds, $34,920; menhaden, 16,413,500 pounds,
3 & 078; itibida pic: 6,279,603 sounds $118, S45; yates! 148,239

bushels, $147,224; coat gate 258,546 bushels, $989, 348; and soft
ams, 75,500 Gaatiaks: $64,345. In ahnon to ana there were more
' than Beicty other aes many of which are important food species
and are taken in comparatively large quantities.

_ Cumberland County, which ranks next in the value of its fishery
Reoducts, exceeded Monmouth in the number of persons employed and
capital Berasted in 1897, but only in the investment in 1898. The
number of persons engaged in the fisheries of this county in 1897 was
| 420 on vessels, 709 in shore or boat fisheries, and 263 on shore; a
total of 2,392. The amount of capital invested was $678,788, and the
Broducts, consisting largely of oysters, were valued at $859, 950.

In 1898 the fisheries of this county employed 2,111 persons, the
c mount of capital invested was $645,680, and the Mind of the prodiidts
was $867,549. The excess of capital in this county as compared with
M onioath is due to the employment of a much larger number of vessels.

The shad fishery of New Jersey exceeds in value that of any other
species of fish proper taken in the State. About 89 per cent of the
eatch is from the Delaware River, a little over 9 per cent from the
Hudson River, and less than 2 per cent from other waters. Nearly
alt of the catch is credited to Salem County. An interesting feature
n connection with this fishery on the Delaware River is the recent
introduction of naphtha motors for propelling shad gill-net boats. At
sridgeport, N. J., one boat used naphtha in 1898, and four in 1899.

236 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

THE PRODUCTS BY APPARATUS.

The products of the vessel fisheries of New J ersey in 1897 were
valued at $1,167,553, and those of the shore fisheries at $2,446,881.
In 1898 the vas iakeeiee yielded $1,192,723, and the shore fisheriag
$2,371,043. The more*important forms oe appaeaten are used on both
vessels and boats, but pound nets, weirs, and a variety of smaller
apparatus are employed exclusively in the shore fisheries.

Seines are used on vessels chiefly for capturing menhaden, and occa-
sionally for other species. In shore fisheries they are more widely
distributed than any other apparatus, taking principally alewives,
carp, cat-fish, eels, flounders, menhaden, white perch, shad, sque-
teague, striped bass, suckers, and soft crabs. The catch taken with
them by vessels and boats in 1897 aggregated 31,398,546 pounds, valued
at $235,745, and in 1898, 23,403,012 pounds, valued at $193,457.

Gill nets were used extensively in the shore fisheries, but on vessels
to a limited extent only, in Monmouth and Ocean counties. They are
especially important in the capture of shad and sturgeon. In 1897
they took 11,161,755 pounds of shad, valued at $277,529, and 989,096
pounds of sturgeon, including caviar, valued at $92,682; and in 1898,
11,447,220 pounds of shad, valued at $248,867, and 847,740 pounds of
sturgeon products, valued at $99,720. In addition to this there were
large quantities of other species taken, the more important being blue- |
fish, white perch, and squeteague. The yield of the gill-net fisheries
in 1897 was 12,875,038 pounds, valued at $400,459, and in 189% |
12,980,292 Sek valnoe at $378,997.
Pound nets are employed to a greater or less extent in five counties

but principally in Monmouth and Cape May. The more important
localities in Monmouth County in which they are used are Keansburg,
Port Monmouth and vicinity, and along the ocean shore from Sandy
Hook to Manasquan. The remaining pound nets on the eastern side
of the State are in Middlesex, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May coun-
ties. In Cape May County a large number of small pound nets are
set in various localities on the Delaware Bay shore for fish and king
crabs, and a considerable number of weirs are fished exclusively for
king crabs. In 1897 the catch of all species in pound nets and weirs
was 16,013,724 pounds, valued at $214,068; and in 1898 14,070,839
pounds, valued at $216,455. The species taken in greatest abundance
were blue-fish, bonito, butter-fish, cod, croakers, flounders, menhaden,
scup, sea bass, shad, Spanish mackerel, squeteague, tautog, and king
crabs. Squeteague was the most important species, and comprised
about one-half the quantity and value of the entire catch. Cod were
also abundant, especially as compared with former years.

Fyke nets an stop nets are used to a limited extent in the vessel
and shore fisheries, the value of the catch by fyke nets in 1897 being
$38,929 and in 1898 $36,412; and by stop nets $20,617 and $7,471 for
each year, respectively. Stop nets are set at high tide across the

entrance of creeks and at other convenient places to prevent fish
(chiefly carp) from escaping when the tide recedes,

The products of the hand, trawl, and trot line fisheries by vessels
and boats in 1897 aggregated 11,604,721 pounds, valued at $335,715,
and in 1898, 12,263,640 pounds, valued at $395,781; the most impor-
tant species being blue-fish, cod, sea bass, and squeteague.

Fre group of apparatus yielding the largest returns, in both the
vessel and shore fisheries, included oyster tongs and dredges, crab
Reages, clam tongs, rakes, and hoes. The products of these m 1897
were valued at $2,303,383. The most important items in this value
ere oysters and ais, the former being valued at $1,682,015 and the
one at $607,520. The catch by these forms of apparatus in 1898
was worth $2,274,594, the value of the oyster fishery being $1,669,324,
and of the clam fishery $590,684. Other products secured in consider-
able quantities each year were hard crabs, scallops and mussels.

_ Pots for lobsters and eels were operated to a limited extent, the catch
being worth $22,978 in 1897, and $27,166 in 1898.

The products taken with minor forms of apparatus employed i in the
shore fisheries were worth $42,540 in 1897, and $33,433 in 1898.

The following tables show the quantity da value of the products by
counties and apparatus for the years 1897 and 1898:

THE MENHADEN INDUSTRY.

New Jersey maintains a small menhaden industry. In 1897 there
were 4 factories in operation, valued at $43,045. These were located
as follows: 1 at Leesburg, Cumberland County; 2 at Port Monmouth,
Monmouth County; and 1 at Tuckerton, Ocean County. In 1898 there
were 6 factories, valued at $57,995. Their location was the same as

in the previous year, the 2 additional factories being in Monmouth
County—1 at Keansburg and the other at Port Monmouth. The num-
ber of persons employed in 1897 was 53 in the factories and 128 on ves-
sels; and in 1898, 92 in the factories and 112 on vessels. The total
amount of the investment, including cash capital, was $115,038 and
$137,110 each year, respectively.

_- The number of menhaden caught by the vessels in this fishery in
— 1897 was 39,709,375, valued at $55,837; and in 1898, 29,573,550, valued
at $43,093. A large portion of these, together with considerable
_ quantities of menhaden taken by pound nets in the shore fisheries, were
pressed at the factories, the remainder of the vessel catch being sold
chiefly for bait.

The number of menhaden utilized by the factories in 1897 was
19,279,375, costing $21,567; and in 1898, 15,907,350, costing $16,395.
The products, consisting of oil and fertilizer, prepared in the former
year were valued at $31,816, and in the latter at $34,910.

The following table shows in detail the extent of the menhaden
industry of this State in 1897 and 1898:

254 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.
THE WHOLESALE FISHERY TRADE.

The wholesale trade in fishery products in New Jersey is of minor
consequence, the greater part of the products of all branches of the
fisheries being shipped to dealers in New York and Philadelphia. Of
the 14 firms handling oysters, clams, and fish at wholesale, 5 are located
at Newark, 1 at Elizabethport, 1 at Belford, and 7 at Seaside. The
following table exhibits the extent of this trade in 1897 and 1898:

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 255

FISHERIES OF PENNSYLVANIA.

' Pennsylvania is the only State in the Middle Atlantic region which
has no frontage on the ocean. By means of a small fleet of vessels,
however, there is carried on a line fishery for salt-water species in the
ocean, and also a large fishery for oysters in Delaware Bay. The
principal other coast fisheries of the State are those of the Delaware
and Susquehanna rivers. The statistics here presented relate to coast
fisheries and therefore do not cover that part of the State bordering
on Lake Erie, nor the Susquehanna River and tributaries above York
‘and Lancaster counties, though since the break in the dam at Columbia
‘shad have ascended the Susquehanna River as far as Duncannon and
the Juniata River as far as Newport.
The most important fisheries are those with seines and gill nets for
shad on the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers and the vessel fishery for
oysters in Delaware Bay. A considerable part of the oyster industry
ps New Jersey and Delaware and some of the largest seine fisheries
n New Jersey are controlled in Pennsylvania.
The number of persons engaged in the coast fisher ies of the State
was 1,898, of whom 318 were on vessels fishing and transporting, 1,148
in ibe shore fisheries, and 437 were shoresmen. The number of veaaets
fis shing and transporting fishery products was 40, having a value, with
their outfits, of $91,755; the number of the okie in the shore dictios
was 504, valued at $91,485; the apparatus of capture used on vessels was
yalued at $2,591, and on boats, $25,021; the value of the shore and acces-
‘sory property was $828,576, and the amount of cash capital utilized,
$632,100; a total investment, including the cash capital, of $1,601,528.
‘The products of the fisheries comprised 3,740,801 pounds of fish,
having a value of $125,341; 265,934 babhede of oysters, valued at
$143, 974; and 1,924 weet of terrapins, turtles, and frogs, worth
$192; Bitedal valuo of products being $269,507.

fisheries of Pennsylvania in 1897:

THE FISHERIES BY COUNTIES.

There are eight counties in the eastern part of Pennsylvania which
maintain fisheries: Lancaster and York counties on the Susquehanna
River, and Pike, Monroe, Northampton, Bucks, Philadelphia, and _
Delaware counties on the Delaware River. In the counties on the
Susquehanna River 346 persons were employed; the investment was
$8,610, and the products, principally shad, were valued at $15,872;
while in the counties bordering on the Delaware River 1,552 persons
were employed, $1,592,918 invested, and the products were valued at
$253,635. The species in the counties on the Delaware River having
the greatest value were sea bass, shad, and oysters.

The fisheries of Philadelphia County are the most extensive. They
gave employment to 952 persons, a larger number than were employed —
in all the other counties combined. The amount of capital invested
was $1,499,948, and the products aggregated 3,443,772 pounds, valued
at $200,776. The whole of the vessel fisheries of this section of the
State and a considerable part of the shore fisheries are centered in
this county. The large investment, as compared with other coun-
ties, is due chiefly to the extensive wholesale trade of the city of
Philadelphia. |

The fisheries of Bucks County are next in importance. The num-
ber of persons employed was 378, the investment was $65,655, and the

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 257

products amounted to 1,313,388 pounds, valued at $37,349. The
species taken in greatest quantity and value were shad and alewives.

The relative importance of the fisheries of each county in 1897 is
exhibited in the three following tables:

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 259

THE FISHERIES, BY APPARATUS.

In the vessel fisheries lines and oyster dredges are the only apparatus
of capture. The principal species in the line fishery are sea bass and
-fiounders. This fishery is prosecuted in the ocean during the summer
months by vessels which are engaged in the oyster fishery or the
coasting trade the rest of the year. The line catch amounted to
973,495 pounds, valued at $37,832. The oyster fishery is carried on
entirely in the waters of New Jersey and Delaware, principally the
latter, where most of the planted beds owned directly by Pennsylvanians
are located. The catch of oysters amounted to 1,861,538 pounds, or
965,934 bushels, valued at $143,974. The total catch in the vessel
fisheries was 2,835,033 pounds, valued at $181,806.

- In the shore fisheries seines are the most important apparatus
employed. The quantity of products taken by them was 1,479,834
pounds, valued at $50,177, the principal species being shad and ale-
wives. This is the oldest method of fishing on the Delaware River,
and some of these seine fisheries have been in operation since before
the beginning of the present century. The yield of gill nets was
1,065,581 pounds, valued at $23,522, more shad‘ being taken in them
than in any other form of apparatus. Fyke nets and dip nets produced
respectively 86,117 pounds, valued at $5,429, and 82,713 pounds, valued
at $4,247. Lines, pots, and minor apparatus secured 2,769,230 pounds,

valued at $87,701.

_ The two tables which follow show the quantity and value of products
‘in the vessel and shore fisheries by each form of apparatus:

262 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.
THE WHOLESALE FISHERY TRADE OF PHILADELPHIA AND CHESTER.

The wholesale fish and oyster dealers of Philadelphia handle a great
part of the fishery products taken on the Delaware River and Bay, and
also considerable quantities from other sections of the country. Since
1897, the year covered by the present investigation, a large wholesale
fresh-fish market has been built, taking the place of the former small
market. The trade in oysters and fresh, salted, and smoked fish is
extensive. Among the fresh-water species there is a large quantity
of carp. There were 76 firms in the wholesale trade of Philadelphia,
in which 396 persons were employed, and the investment, including
cash capital, but exclusive of wages, amounted to $1,391,601. The
products were valued at $3,937,686.

At Chester there were six wholesale firms, having 24 persons
engaged, and an investment of $11,050. The products, consisting —
largely of shad, were valued at $60,046. | -

The extent of the wholesale fishery trade of Philadelphia and Chester
in 1897 is presented in the following table:

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 263

FISHERIES OF DELAWARE.

The fisheries of this State are prosecuted in the Delaware River and

Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, and to a small extent in the Nanticoke
River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay.

The number of persons engaged in the fisheries in 1897 was 2,392,
of whom 120 were on fishing and transporting vessels; 1,888 on boats
in the shore fisheries, and 384 in fishery industries on shore.

The number of vessels fishing and transporting was 42, valued with’
their outfits at $37,854. The number of boats in the shore fisheries
was 953, valued at $39,349.

The value of apparatus connected with the vessel fisheries, consist-
ing almost entirely of oyster dredges, was $2,886, while in the shore
fisheries numerous forms of apparatus were employed having an aggre-
gate value of $43,156. The more important of these were gill nets,
valued at $31,037; seines, $8,676; fyke nets, $1,125; and pound nets,
$625. The value of shore property and cash capital amounted to
$284,574, the total investment being $407,819.

The products of the fisheries aggregated 8,647,897 pounds, worth
$252,123. The most important species in value were shad, worth
$47,962; squeteague, $25,149; perch, $19,128; striped bass, $12,033;
and alewives, $11,910. The yield of the oyster fishery was valued at
$63,897, and of the sturgeon fishery $34,750. Of the latter amount,
$25,736 represents the value of the caviar.

_ The three tables which follow show by counties the number and
i value of vessels, boats, and fishing apparatus, the number of persons
employed; the value of the shore and accessory property, the amount
of cash capital, and the quantity and value of the products of the
fisheries of Delaware in the year 1897:

THE SHAD FISHERY.

The shad fishery of Delaware is prosecuted chiefly in the Delaware —
and Nanticoke rivers. In the former the yield was 1,368,364 pounds, —
valued at $40,717, and in the latter 252,000 pounds, valued at $7,245.

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 265

FISHERIES BY APPARATUS.

The vessel fisheries of this State are confined to Kent County, the
catch consisting almost entirely of oysters, of which 339,990 pounds
(48,570 bushels), valued at $24,707, were secured. Some squeteague
were taken on lines by vessels which carry out pleasure parties during
the summer season. At Lewes, in Sussex County, afew steamers land
* of their fish at the menhaden factories, but as these steamers
belong in other States their catch has not been credited to Delaware.
In the shore fisheries, so far as the quantity of fish secured is con-
cerned, seines rank frst, they having taken 3,677,291 pounds, valued
a 864,498, but in value wt catch gill nets are ban having taken 2,577,114
pounds, valued at $98,598. The principal species taken in seines are
alewives, squeteague, and shad, while in gill nets the principal species
are shad, sturgeon, and squeteague. ‘The yield by oyster tongs is next
in importance, its value being $39,190. Fyke nets caught 157,310
jounds, valued at $6,469, and pound nets 93,770 pounds, valued at
2,197. Lines, pots, spears, miscellaneous nets, and other minor forms
yf apparatus were also used. A small lobster fishery, with pots, is
“arried on at Lewes. This is the southernmost point on the Atlantic
eaboard where the lobster fishery is prosecuted.

THE MENHADEN INDUSTRY.

_ The menhaden factories in Delaware are located at Lewes, in Sussex

ounty. After the season of 1897 had closed they were purchased by
the American Fisheries Company. In 1897 there were three factories
in operation, valued at $150,000, in which 105 persons were engaged.
The amount of cash capital employed was $50,000. The vessels supply-
ing the factories with fish were owned in other States, and have
therefore not been included in the following table showing the extent
of the industry in Delaware: ~

THE KING-CRAB INDUSTRY.

_ The preparation of fertilizer from king-crabs in Delaware is carried
m in Kent County. The property used in the business is valued at
33,000, and six persons only are employed. Six hundred and seventy-
five thousand king crabs, costing $4,050, were utilized to make 225
ons of fertilizer, worth $6,975.

THE WHOLESALE FISHERY TRADE.

The wholesale trade in fishery products in Delaware is centered
shiefly at Wilmington and Seaford. At the former place the trade is
rincipally in fresh fish, shad being the most important species, and
it the latter oysters are the most important product. There are a
tumber of shucking houses at Seaford where the greater part of the
yysters are opened before shipment to market. At various other
localities in the State shad, sturgeon, and other species are handled in
small quantities. ‘The following table shows the extent of the wholesale
rade at Wilmington and Seaford in 1897:

268 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

FISHERIES OF MARYLAND.

The fisheries of Maryland are prosecuted chiefly on the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries. This bay, the greater part of which is within
the jurisdiction of Maryland, is the largest on the coast of the United
States, and may properly be regarded as the world’s greatest natural
oyster-producing area. In addition to the great output of oysters, for
which it has long been remarkable, it also produces large quantities
of fish of various species, crabs, shrimp, clams ( Venus mercenaria), ter
rapin, and turtles. |

The rivers flowing into the Chesapeake, some of which are of con
siderable importance to navigation, also contribute very largely to the
fishery resources of the State. The more important of these are the
Potomac, which forms the boundary between Maryland and Virginia
on the west and south, the Patuxent, Susquehanna, Chester, Choptank, ~
Nanticoke, Wicomico, and Pocomoke. All of these rivers have fish-—
eries of greater or less importance, the larger ones being especially
noted for their abundant yield of shad.

The principal localities or fishing centers of the State are Baltimore, —
Annapolis, and Havre de Grace, on the western shore, and St. Michaels,
Oxford, Cambridge, and Crisfield, on the eastern shore. The fishing —
operations are, however, not confined to these localities, but are prose-_
cuted more or less extensively at almost every village or settlement
along the shores.

Considering that only one county of Maryland reaches the seacoast,
and that all the others are located on the Chesapeake Bay and its trib- _
utaries, the fisheries of the State are very extensive. They surpass, —
in value of products, those of any other State in the Middle Atlantic —
region.

The number of persons employed on vessels fishing and transporting
fishery products in 1897 was 8,087; on boats used in various branches
of shore fisheries, 18,540; in oyster canneries, shucking and packing —
houses, 16,185; a total of 42, 812.

The fatine fleet comprised 1,419 vessels, engaged in fishing and
transporting, having a net rogister of 23,670 tons and valued at
$1,078,560. Their outfits, consisting silat of provisions, were

valued at $265,982. In the shore fisheries there were 10,077 boats
used, having a value of $562,455.

The various forms of apparatus of capture used on vessels were
oyster and crab dredges, oyster tongs, seines, lines, and eel pots, the
value of which was $67,537. The apparatus used in the shore or boat
fisheries consisted principally of seines, gill nets, pound nets, trap
nets, weirs, fyke nets, trammel nets, lines, eel pots, spears, oyster and
crab dredges, and oyster tongs, valued at $328,122; the total value
of apparatus being $395,659.

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 269

_ The value of oyster canneries, oyster and crab houses, wholesale fish
establishments, and all other shore property connected with the fish-
ries was $1,878,669, the amount of cash or working capital required
n conducting the various branches of trade in fishery products was
$1,640,285, and the total investment in the fisheries and related indus-
fries, including vessels, outfits, boats, apparatus of capture, shore and
essory property, and cash capital, amounted to $5,821,610.

The products taken by all kinds of apparatus consisted of 28,213,744
sounds of fish, fresh and salted, valued at $500,745; soft crabs 12,347,637
m number, valued at $177,637; hard crabs 15,999,948 in number, valued
it $39,949; shrimp, 1,020 pounds, valued at $510; crawfish, 2,908 pounds,
valued at $262; oysters, 7,254,934 bushels, valued at $2,885,202; clams,
15,286 bushels, valued at $8,842; turtles, 5,465 pounds, valued at $289,
and terrapin, principally diamond-back, 7,266 pounds, valued at $3,226;

the total value, including 1,594 pounds oe caviar, valued at $644; naan
3,617,306.

_ Oysters were taken in greater abundance than any other species, the
‘atch comprising nearly 80 per cent of the value of the entire product.
‘he crab catch is next in importance, aggregating in number of soft
ind hard crabs 28,347,585, and in value $217,586. The shad is also an
mportant species; the qaaattiey taken and sold fresh was 5,779,563
Jounds, valued at $158,865, besides which 20,000 pounds, valued at $500,

vere sold} in a salted emediitaeih Alewives are also very abundant, the
uantity sold fresh being 11,727,199 pounds, valued at $72,657, and
alted 5,408,900 pounds, alia at $50,676. Various other species, as
Brie-fish, Giltfer- fish, carp, cat-fish, croakers, eels, menhaden, white
ind yellow perch, bike, squeteague, ae bass, sturgeon, and satiny,

e also taken in considerable quantities. The Bianiond-twek bpeearsta
which has heretofore been a prominent species in this section, has
irgely decreased in abundance. The catch of menhaden is also not
0 large as it has been in previous years, chiefly from the fact that
rhile a number of vessels belonging to Maryland were engaged in
his fishery they were chartered in Virginia and their catch has been
sroperly credited to that State.

The three following tables exhibit the number of persons, the num-
er and value of vessels, boats, and apparatus of capture, the value of
he shore and accessory property, the amount of cash capital employed,
nd the quantity and value of the products of the fisheries of Maryland
in 1897:

THE FISHERIES BY COUNTIES.

The State is divided by the Chesapeake Bay and the Susquehant
River, which flows into its head waters, into two great sections. -
the eastern part of the State there are 9 counties, all of which a
These are Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne, Ti
bot, Caroline, Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset, and Worcester. - The

interested in the fisheries.

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES, 271

are all located on the Chesapeake except Worcester, which borders on
the Atlantic Ocean and has a coast line about 35 miles long. Of the
14 counties in the western part of the State, 7 have fishery interests.
These are Harford, Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and Calvert, on the bay;
Prince George and Charles, on the Potomac River, and St. Mary,
pordering the Potomac and Patuxent rivers and the bay.

_ The counties having the most important fisheries were Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, Dorchester, Somerset, and Talbot. The number of per-
ons employed in the industry in Anne Arundel County was 2,893,
the amount of capital invested $160,370, and the value of the products
$263,366. In Baltimore County the number of persons employed was
13,823, capital invested $3,422,885, and the value of the products
$254,887. The large number of persons employed and amount of
capital invested in this county are chiefly due to the extensive oyster-
anning industry and opened-oyster trade of the city of Baltimore.
The products of the fisheries proper do not equal those of Anne
Arundel County. The fisheries of Dorchester County gave employ-
nent to 5,963 persons, the capital invested amounted to $570,911, and
the value of the products to $684,847. The number of persons
smployed in Somerset County was 7,069, capital invested $755,420,
and the products were valued at $671,365. Talbot county had 3,011
yersons employed, $262,069 invested, and the value of the products
was $384,383. These counties were also the most prominent ones in
the vessel fisheries. The largest number of vessels was in Somerset
nd Dorchester, the former having 433 and the latter 394. The
fisheries of Worcester County were also important, the value of its
products amounting to $307,030, being surpassed in this respect only
by Dorchester, Somerset, and Talbot counties. The oyster fisheries
were of greatest importance in Dorchester County, the crab fisheries
in Somerset, and, in value, the shad fisheries in Talbot.

276 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

PRODUCTS TAKEN BY VESSELS AND BOATS WITH EACH APPARATUS.

Owing to the large quantity of oysters taken in this State, dredge
and tongs are the most productive forms of apparatus employed i
both the vessel and shore fisheries. In the vessel fisheries, dredge:
are more generally used than tongs. The catch taken with them con
sisted of 2,416,446 bushels of oysters valued at $948,051; soft crabs
358,851 in number, valued at $5,312; and hard crabs, 47,601 in numbe
valued at $142. Tongs were also used to some extent, the catch by
them being 31,578 bushels of oysters valued at $13,357. In the shor
or boat fisheries, tongs are the principal apparatus, the quantity ¢
oysters obtained with them being 4,118,717 bushels valued at $1,667,651
and of clams 15,286 bushels valued at $8,842. Dredges or scrapes ar
also used extensively by small boats in the oyster and crab fisheries
The quantity of oysters secured by small boats with dredges was 688,19
bushels valued at $261,143; of soft crabs 9,940,308 in number valued a
$188,512, and of hard crabs 602,100 in number valued at $1,756. Th
value of all products taken with dredges in the vessel and shore fisk
eries combined was $1,349,916, and with tongs $1,689,850; a total ¢
$3,039,766. |

Seines are the next most important apparatus, with respect to th
value of the catch. They were used in the vessel fisheries to a limite
extent, but were operated chiefly by small boats. The catch with sein
by vessels was 42,004 pounds of fish valued at $2,642, and by small boa
in the shore fisheries 10,445,422 pounds of fish valued at $142,249)
soft crabs 606,816 in number, valued at $12,931, and 220 pounds:
terrapin valued at $200; the total value of the catch with this apparatus
being $158,022. The principal species of fish taken were alewivesy
cat-fish, white and yellow perch, shad, squeteague, and striped bass. —

The pound-net fisheries, embracing pound nets, trap nets, and weirs,
were also of considerable importance. The catch of fish in this gro
of apparatus exceeded both in quantity and value that of seines, but
the entire yield was slightly lessin value. The products of this fisher
consisted of 11,407,942 pounds of fish valued at $157,518, and 6
pounds of caviar valued at $210; a total of 11,408,542 pounds, havit
a value of $157,728. The species secured in largest quantities w
alewives, blue-fish, cat-fish, croakers, menhaden, white and yell
perch, shad, squeteague, and striped bass. |

Gill nets were fished to a greater or less extent in every cour
having fisheries, and were the only apparatus, except pound nets
widely distributed. The products derived were 4,653,198 pounds
fish valued at $137,649, and 994 pounds of caviar valued at $434
total of 4,654,192 pounds valued at $138,083, the value being seco
to that of the pound-net catch. Gill nets surpass every other sing
apparatus in the capture of shad, the catch of that species bei

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 285

THE WHOLESALE FISHERY TRADE.

The wholesale fishery trade of Maryland, as here presented, embraces
not only the handling of products of the local fisheries in a raw or
unprepared condition, but also includes_the oyster-canning industry,
the opening of oysters and the shipment and sale of the edible part,
the preparation of crab meat, the salting of alewives or other species,
and the handling of fish, fresh or salted, or any other fishery products,
at wholesale or on commission, regardless of the source from which
they are derived. The persons and capital employed have also been

included in the general fishery tables.
_ This trade is carried on to a greater or less extent in 25 localities on
both sides of the Chesapeake and in 8 different counties. The number
of firms engaged in the various branches of the trade was 235, the
value of the shore property used was $1,759,391, the cash or working
capital amounted to $1,615,285, and the number of persons employed,
including proprietors, clerks, operatives, and laborers, was 15,788.

The products consisted of canned oysters valued at $1,540,690,
opened oysters valued at $3,552,561, oysters sold in the shell valued at
$159,471, oyster shells and lime made from oyster shells valued at
$35,022, clams valued at $8,576, crabs, hard and soft, and crab meat
worth $288,956, shrimp valued at $328, terrapin and turtles of various
species valued at $43,444, fresh fish valued at $742,557, and salted
fish, which, with the exception of alewives, are chiefly the product of
the New England fisheries, valued at $292,682; the total value of the
trade aggregating $6,664,297. The great relative importance of the
oyster trade is apparent when it is considered that $5,287,744 of the
above amount was received for oyster products.

~The principal market is Baltimore, its trade being more dion ten
times as great as that of any other locality. This is due principally
to the existence of a large oyster-canning industry and opened-oyster
business. There is also an important commission trade in oysters. In
addition to these branches large quantities of fresh fish and other
fishery products from all sections of the State are handled, the aggre-
gate value of the trade being $5,189,832.

Crisfield and Cambridge rank next to Baltimore in importance.
Cambridge surpasses Crisfield in the extent of its oyster business, but
Crisfield is the most extensive market and shipping-point for soft crabs
in the United States. The trade of Crisfield, including all products
handled, aggregated $427,285, and that of Cambridge $376,804.

The following table shows by localities the extent of the wholesale
trade in fishery products of Maryland in 1897.

288 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

FISHERIES OF VIRGINIA.

The fisheries of Virginia are prosecuted mainly in the waters of
Chesapeake Bay and the estuaries and rivers tributary thereto, the
exception being the oyster and other fisheries along the ocean coast of
Accomac, Northampton, and Princess Anne counties.

The persons employed in the fisheries in 1897 numbered 28, aT, of
whom 5,102 were on vessels, either fishing or transporting, ‘and 19,150
were Beeuecd in the shore fisheries, while the remaining 4,025 persons
were employed in menhaden and oyster factories and in the wholesale
trade. This is a considerable increase over 1891, when 4,308 persons
were employed on vessels, 16,027 in the shore fisheries, and 3,260 in
the factories and the ‘Stioleaile trade, a total of 23,595.

The investment in the fisheries feladed 1,055 eae valued with
their outfit at $914,824; 10,302 boats, worth $493, 276; 1,250 pound nets, —
worth $264,600; 145 peiisaes worth $54,012: 9,307 gill wake, worth $46, 235;
oyster dredges and tongs, worth $73,755, and various minor apparatus;
worth $12,402. Besides the foregoing there was $607,682 worth of
shore and accessory property employed and cash capital to the amount
of $424,750, making a total investment of $2,891,536. — |

This was a slight decrease from the figures for 1891, when the value
of the investment was $2,948,659. The principal decrease was in
value of shore and accessory property and cash capital, which in 1891
was reported at $717,787 and $467,500, respectively. The vessels with
their outfit in 1891 were valued at $939, 136 and the boats at $463,7 =
As a partial offset for this decrease a large increase occurred in the
value of the pound nets, their value being $165,990 in 1891 and $264, 600.
in 1897, the number in the meantime increasing from 891 to 1,250.

The qilus of products in 1897 was $3,179,498, being $468,347 less
than in 1891 when the yield was worth $3,647,845 to the fishermen
This decrease is due to the reduced value of the oyster product, which in
1891 was worth $2,524,348, whereas in 1897 it was but $2,041,683. The
yield of shad, the second item in value among the fishery products, ©
shows a gratifying increase from $207,394 in 1891 to $304,448 in 1897.
During the same years the menhaden product shows an increase from
$197,523 to $255,241; the value of the clams increased from $36,030
to $66,097, and the crab yield arose from $62,062 to $68,245. Most
of the other species show a decrease in the yield—squeteague from
$124,645 to $89,967; alewives or river herring from $93,905 to $70,841;
blue-fish from $67,545 to $34,802, and cat-fish from $28,487 to $12,292.

The decrease in value of the fisheries is not due to a reduction in
quantity of products obtained, but to a smaller selling price. For
instance, while the oyster yield decreased in value from $2,524,348 to
$2,041,683, the quantity obtained in the former year was 6,162,086
bushels and in 1897 it was 7,023,848 bushels. The value of squeteague
decreased from $124,645 in 1891 to $89,967 in 1897, although the

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 989

quantity increased from 3,929,899 pounds in the former year to
6,525,806 pounds in the latter. The yield of croakers increased in
weight from 1,075,690 pounds in 1891 to 4,161,529 pounds in 1897,
but the value decreased from $36,847 to $28,144.

STATISTICS BY COUNTIES.

There are in Virginia 34 counties bordering on the tidal waters, ir
all of which the commercial fisheries are more or less extensive. The
most important of these, from a fishery point of view, are Accomae,
Lancaster, Northumberland, Middlesex, Elizabeth City, Norfolk,
Mathews, Northampton, York, and Gloucester. The fisheries in some
of the remaining 24 counties are of comparatively small extent. The
following series of tables present detailed statistics for each county for
1897:

FISHERIES OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 297

NOTES ON THE PRINCIPAL FISHERIES.

_ The principal fisheries are the oyster, the pound-net, the menhaden
purse-seine, and the shad gill-net fisheries. The oyster yield in 1897
was valued at $2,041,683; the product of the pound nets, $513,589; the
menhaden purse-seine fishery, $242,300, and the shad gill-net fisheries
n the rivers, $81,171. Of minor consequence was the haul seine fish-
ery, with a value of $68,260, the crab fisheries, yielding products to the
value of $68,245, and the clam fisheries, with products worth $66,097.
pne value of the yield of the minor fisheries in the same year was
98,153, making the total yield of the fishery products in Virginia
during 1897 worth $3,179,498.
The oyster industry is the principal fishery in Virginia and shows a
‘ratifying increase so far as concerns the quantity over any previous
year for which records are available. In 1880 the product was 6,837,-
240 bushels, for which the fishermen received $2,218,376; in 1888 it
was 3,664,433 bushels, worth $1,336,012; in 1891, 6,074,025 bushels,
rorth $2,524,348, and in 1897 7,023,848 bushels, valued at $2,041,683.
During the last year this industry gave employment to 18,189 fisher-
men, or 75 per cent of the total number in the State, using 1,022 ves-
els, valued, with their outfits, at $662,242; 7,682 boats, worth $416,018,
ind dredges, tongs, etc., worth $73,755. This shows some increase
er 1891, when the fishermen and transporters numbered 16,348; 919
sssels, worth $786,626; 6,974 boats, worth $412,030, and dredges,
ngs, Bte., worth $57, 87 2.
ne general condition of the oyster industry of Virginia has changed
onsiderably during the past ten years. The public reefs are growing
s productive year after year and the extent of the planting business
stanly ; increasing. The State laws afford fairly good protection
0 private oyster-culture, and the prospects are exceedingly favorable
or a large development in that line in the near future.
The pound- net fishery of Virginia i is the most extensive and concen-
e ed in America. The increase in this fishery during the past twenty
fears has been phenomenal. Within an area 70 miles long and 10
q a es ae covering the western side of Chesapeake Bay and the
s of the tributaries thereof, there are set each spring over 850
U bod nets, worth about $200,000. In addition, there are about 100
n the Wiatern shore of Virginia and about 300 in the various rivers
a greater distance than 10 miles from the Chesapeake. In 1897 the
Reiter of pound nets in the State aggregated 1,250, worth $264,600,
vainst 891 in 1891, valued at $165,990. In 1880 the Sore ree of pound
nets was but 152, worth $89,240, and in 1887 it was reported at 608,
worth $164,355. The catch by the pound nets in 1891 amounted to
3, 796, 835 pounds, which sold for $471,560, whereas in 1897 it was
7,467,620 pounds, worth $513,589. The So aE increase occurred in
ae yield of shad, from 3,645,467 pounds in 1891 to 8,035,114 pounds

298 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

in 1897; squeteague, from 1,759,464 to 5,184,428 pounds; croakers,
from 247,980 pounds in 1891 to 2,742,049 pounds in 1897. Blue-fish
fell off from 1,292,398 pounds to 662,993 pounds; Spanish mackerel,
from 725,910 to 503,106 pounds, and sturgeon, from 575,320 to 335,590
pounds, including caviar. The value per pound of nearly all of these
species shows a decrease from 1891 to 1897. ~Had the pound-net catch
sold in the latter year for as much per pound as in the former the
aggregate value would have been about $738,098, instead of $513,589.
The gill-net fisheries of Virginia are principally for the capture of ©
shad, but many other species are also secured. ‘There were 9,307 nets —
used in 1897, worth $46,235, and the product amounted to 4,053,779
-pounds, for which the fishermen received $110,206. Of this product —
2,972,548 pounds represented shad, the value being $81,171. Ranking
next in value were sturgeon, including caviar, with a yield of 356,829
pounds, worth $19,269; alewives, or river herring, 575,800 pounds,
worth $3,542, and striped bass, 43,567 pounds, worth $2,862. In 1891
the value of the gill nets was approximately the same, but the yield
was somewhat greater, amounting to 4,857,214 pounds, worth $124,617.
The haul-seine fishery of Virginia, which is quite different from the
menhaden purse-seine fishery, is of little value compared with former
times. In the early part of the present century this was practically
the only form of apparatus used for taking fish. Forty years ago
nearly every large plantation bordering the rivers had a seine shore,
and some of them were quite valuable. But the greater cheapness —
and efficiency of gill nets, pound nets, etc., has resulted in a great _
decrease in the number of seines employed. In 1891 there were 178
haul seines used, worth $32,470, and yielding 4,176,362 pounds of ~
fish, valued at $98,074. In 1897 the number of seines was 107, valued —
at $28,462, and the catch of fish aggregated 5,282,251 pounds, worth |
$68,260. Among the principal species were spots, 482,965 pounds,
worth $13,279; shad, 459,057 pounds, worth $10,258; squeteague .
439,218 pounds, worth $9,964; alewives, or river herring, 1,937,855
pounds, worth $13,357, and striped bass, 136,087 pounds, worth $7,483. |
The crab fisheries yielded a product in 1897 valued at $68,245, of |
which $28,331 represented hard crabs and $39,914 soft crabs, the total |
weight of the former being 5,331,398 pounds and of the latter 1,068,116
pounds. The soft-crab fishery is prosecuted in Accomac, Lancaster,
Northumberland, and Northampton counties, but principally in the
first-named. The hard crabs are obtained in the waters of a dozen or °
more counties, but principally in Northampton, York, and Princess *
Anne. The soft crabs are caught by scrapes and dip nets, while the »
hard crabs are obtained by means of lines almost exclusively.
The following series of tables show in detail the extent of the-fish- -
eries by each form of apparatus in 1897.

used, there being 60 in 1891 and only 37 in 1897. This is due principally
to the gradual substitution of steamers for sail vessels, there being 63
sail vessels fishing and transporting in 1891 against 28 in 1897. Men-
haden were fairly abundant, the catch numbering 263,203,000, but the
fish were exceedingly dry, yielding only 177,043 gallons of oil; whereas
the 191,365,500 fish caught in 1891 yielded 396,575 gallons. The
entity of scrap produced was 21,434 tons, worth $331,227, in 1897,
against 17,054 tons, worth $230,647, in 1891. The following table

THE WHOLESALE FISHERY TRADE.

_ In connection with the fisheries of Virginia there is a considerable
wholesale trade in fishery products. In 1897 there were 56 establish-
nents or firms in 21 different localities of the State in this branch of
industry. The investment in shore property and cash capital utilized
n the business was $640,560, and the number of persons engaged was
,079. The total value of the products handled was $1,663,956.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

The report on the fisheries of the New England States presented
erewith relates to the condition of the commercial fisheries in the
sar 1898, and is based on inquiries made in the field in 1899 by statis-
cal agents of the U. S. Fish Commission.
The results of the investigation have already been published in con-
ensed form as Statistical Bulletin No. 15, and in the report of the
Commissioner for 1900. —
‘The report has been prepared under the direction of Mr. C. H.
ownsend, assistant in charge of the division of fisheries.
The agents of the division engaged in the investigations in the field
ere Messrs. C. H. Stevenson in Connecticut, W. A. Wilcox and
. M. Cogswell in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Ansley Hall in
fassachusetts, E. S. King in Rhode Island, and J. N. Cobb in Maine.
The assistant in charge visited some of the more important fisheries
the region, and Mr. J. B. Wilson was temporarily engaged in

; TATISTICS OF THE FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES.

> GENERAL NOTES AND STATISTICS.

The New England States having coast fisheries are Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The num-
er of persons engaged in the fisheries of these States in 1898 was
5,631. Of this number 22,367 were fishermen and 13,264 were shores-
en employed in the various shore industries directly connected with
e fisheries. Maine and Massachusetts maintain extensive fisheries,

ut the industry is considerably smaller in the other three States.

aine employed in its fisheries 16,954 persons, Massachusetts 14,363,

lew Hampshire only 154, Rhode fatthd 1,687, and Connecticut 2,473.

ince the last general canvass of these States in 1889 there has been
, decrease of 905 in the number of persons employed. In Maine there
san increase of 2,825 persons, while a decrease occurred in all of
he other States, the lar gest number being 2,875 in Massachusetts, and
2 largest percentage, 57.80 per cent, in New Hampshire.

“The amount of capital invested in the fisheries was $19,637,036. The
vestment in Maine was $4,013,053; in New Hampshire, $52,648; in
assachusetts, $13,372,902; in Rhode Island, $957,142; and in =
ecticut, $1,241,291. ‘As Boltthdeed with 1889 the captal invested has
e reased $457, 7 58. There has been an increase in Maine of $1,123,160
3 pd in Massachusetts of $127,673. In New Hampshire there was a
lecrease of $60,012, in Rhode Island of $63,036, and in Connecticut of
1,585,543. The Bes Mace 4 in Connecticut is due ‘hieitty to the fact that
ae Salus of the oyster-grounds, included in 1889, was omitted in 1898,

1e actual decrease in the investment being about $282,818.

| “The number of fishing and transporting vessels employed in the fish-
ries was 1,427, having a net tonnage of 43,821 tons, and a value of
‘ 2,920,825. The value of their outfits was $1,303,514. There has
een a slight decrease since 1889 in the number of veRaAls and a large
ecrease in the tonnage. The vessels have increased in number in Maine,
4 assachusetts, and Rhode Island, but have decreased in the other States.

the decrease in the total tonnage i is due chiefly to many of the larger
shing vessels being sold for use in the coasting trade, and their places
2 the fisheries being supplied by smaller ones; and also to the transfer
if @ number of menhaden vessels from the New England region to the
tate of New York. The number of boats-employed in the shore fish-
Ties was 10,557, valued at $621,670; the apparatus of capture used on

essels and boats was valued at $1,918,898: the. value of shore and

accessory property in the fisheries and fishery industries was $7,115,030.
and the cash capital amounted to $6,457,099.

The products of the fisheries aggregated 393,457,906 pounds, val-
ued at $9,682,290. Maine, produced 123,404,561 pounds, valued at”
$2,654,919; New Hampshire, 3,020,715 pounds, valued at $48,987;
Massachusetts, 202,257,817 pounds, valued at $4,463,727; Rhode Islanc
- 32,854,396 pounds, valued at $955,058; and Connecticut, 31,920,41
pounds, valued at $1,559,599. Some of the more important species —
secured in the fisheries of these States were cod, cusk, haddock, hake
and pollock, valued at $2,798,109, halibut at $569,515, mackerel «
$481,933, herring at $596,684, alewives at $76,959, smelt at $140,912
blue-fish at $86,461, scup at $93,353, squeteague at $108,945, sword
fish at $90,130, shad at $44,018, eels at $64,756, lobsters at $1,276,967
clams and quahogs at $578,455, and oysters at $1,910,684. The prod
ucts of the whale fisheries, consisting chiefly of whale, sperm, and se
elephant oils, and whalebone, were valued at $285,688.

There has been a decrease in the products of the fisheries since 188
of 259,712,134 pounds, or 39.76 per cent, in quantity, and of $868,351
or 8.23 per cent, in value. A decrease in quantity has occurred ina
of the States in this section, varying from 4.75 per cent in Maine t
74.20 per cent in Rhode Island. The value in New Hampshire has:
also decreased $39,524, or 44.65 per cent, and in Massachusett
$1,394,547, or 23.80 per cent, but in Maine it has increased $543,718, c
25.75 per cent, and to a small extent in Rhode Island and Connecticut

The decrease in products in the various States, except in Ne
Hampshire, where it relates to nearly all of the principal species,
_due chiefly to a smaller quantity of alge and to a decline in the cate
of menhaden. The products of Maine in 1889 included 12,900,00
pounds of alge, valued at $6,315, whereas none appears in the statisti
of that State in 1898. The products of Massachusetts include
117,993,900 pounds of algz in 1889, valued at $66,034, and only 700,06
pounds, valued at $22,375, in 1898. If the alge were eliminated fro1
the statistics of these States in both years the result in Maine wo
be an increase in the mcre important products of 6,744,697 pounds 1
quantity and of $550,028 in value, and in Massachusetts an increase
20,334,048 pounds in quantity and a decrease of $1,350,888 in valu
The increase in the value of the products in Maine may be attribute
principally to the high prices received for lobsters, but in Mas
chusetts the catch of lobsters was not large enough to materially offs
the decrease in the value of products occasioned by the comparative
low prices received for fish. In Rhode Island the products ha
‘decreased in quantity, owing to a reduction of 109,440,000 pounds |
the catch of menhaden. There has, however, been considerab
increase in that State in the quantity of food species. The decrea
in the products of Connecticut may be accounted for by the absence

322 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

FISHERIES OF MAINE.

Among the New England States Maine occupies second place in the
extent of its fisheries, being surpassed only by Massachusetts. The
lobster fishery is more important than in all the other New England
States combined, and the alewife, herring, salmon, shad, smelt, sword-
fish, and clam fisheries are more extensive than in any other State in
this region. There are also important cod and mackerel fisheries. —

The persons engaged in fisheries in 1898 numbered 16,954, of whom
1,947 were employed on vessels, 6,770 in the shore fisheries, and 8,237
were shoresmen. ‘The number of vessels fishing and transporting was

rom two counties situated on the Penobscot River.

The number of persons employed in Washington County in 1898
S 3 7, 822; of these, 5,863 were shoresmen engaged principally in the
sardine and other Besbohes of the herring industry. In Hancock |
County there were 3,173 persons, of whom 681 were employed on ves-—
sels. The vessel fisheries of this county are more important than those
of anyother county. The fisheries of Lincoln County employed 2,209
persons, those of Cumberland and Knox 1,662 and 1,421 respactively.
‘he Beherics. of the remaining. four contibies were less extensive,
mploying only 1,167 persons.

Washington, Lincoln, Cumberland, and Hancock.

a

324 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The investment in the fisheries of Washington County, owing to an
extensive sardine industry, was nearly twice that of any other county,
amounting to $1,413,825. The investment in Lincoln County was
$750,622, in Santeria $733,041, and in Hancock $552, 491. The
largest county of vessels, 178, atid at $142,100, is in Hancock
County. Knox County has 98, valued at $90,000; Cumibosiaa 73,
valued at $110,400; Lincoln 59, valued at $102,650, and Washington
57, worth $70,250. A comparatively small number is employed in
each of the other counties. A number of the transporting vessels
above included are steamers used in the lobster-carrying trade.

In the vessel fisheries gill nets are used extensively in three counties,
and hand and trawl lines in four counties. Lobster pots are employed
in all but two counties, the largest number being in Hancock and Knox,
the former having 7,146 and the latter 4,140. _ :

In the shore fishopics the largest number of boats are in Hancock
County, being 1,419. Two other counties, Washington and Cumber-
land, each have nearly 1,000. The forms of apparatus most extensively —
used are weirs and gill nets in Washington County, weirs in Hancock, ©
gill nets in Knox, weirs and gill nets in Sagadahoc, and gill nets in —
Cumberland and York counties. Lobster pots are the most numerous
form of apparatus in all counties except Penobscot. |

Lincoln County leads in the quantity of products secured, with ~
32,323,528 pounds, valued at $521,186, but is exceeded in value by ©
Hancock County with 20,775,195 pounds, valued at $617,619. Wash-
ington County leads in the herring and pollock fisheries; Hancock ~
County in the cod, flounder, salmon, scallop, and lobster fisheries;
Knox County in the cusk and hake fisheries; Lincoln County in the
alewife, mackerel, menhaden, shad, and smelt fisheries, and Cumber
land County in the haddock, sword-fish, and clam fisheries. .

In 1889 scallops were taken only in Hancock County, while they are
now secured in Washington, Hancock, Waldo, Knox, Lincoln, anc
Cumberland counties. There may also be other grounds in various
parts of the State which have not yet been discovered. q

The three following tables show the extent of the fisheries in each
county of Maine in 1898:

THE SALMON FISHERY OF THE PENOBSCOT RIVER AND BAY.

_ The principal salmon fishery on the Atlantic seaboard is centered
ipon the Penobscot River and bay. During the progress of the last
canvass data were secured to show the condition of the fishery during
he years 1897, 1898, and 1899. As data for the years 1895 and 1896
d been secured previously, the whole has been combined in the three
ollowing tables in order to show in a condensed form, by townships,
ne status of the fishery during each of the years named. As the
shery has been prosecuted on the river for a number of years by
eople owning the shore line, naturally but slight changes are noted
the number of persons employed and the weirs and traps used. In
895, 133 persons were employed, while 102 were engaged in 1899. In
395, 193 weirs and traps were used, while 167 were employed in 1899.
ill nets occupy a very insignificant position in this fishery, only 12
‘ing used in 1899. The total investment in the fishery in 1895 was
6,268, while in 1899 it was $14,392. The catch from year to year
us fluctuated considerably. In 1895, 4,395 salmon were taken, while
515 were secured in 1899. The highest catch was in 1896, when
403 salmon were secured. |

. : ‘THE CANNING INDUSTRY.
; The canning of herring and other species is the most important
hore industry connected with the fisheries of Maine. The principal
eature of the business in most of the canneries is the preparation of
n all herring as sardines. Clams are canned extensively, and plain
erring, mackerel, and menhaden in limited quantities incidentally.
na few instances moked and pickled herring also form a part of the
mutput. When not preparing fishery products a number of the can-
eries engage in canning fruit and vegetables in their season. The
a aning of lobsters was formerly an important part of the business,
ut in 1895 the State enacted a law prohibiting the catching of a5
ters under 104 inches in length. The large lobsters being too expen-
ve for canning purposes, that branch of the industry was discontinued.
e number of lobster canneries had, however, been gradually decreas-
ig for years, the packers finding it more profitable to locate their
unneries in the British provinces, where the supply of lobsters was
ore constant and labor much cheaper than in Maine.

‘In 1889 there were 49 sardine and other canneries in operation,

-8386 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

employing 4,017 persons, while in 1898 there were 78 canneries, with
6,829 employees. There has been a considerable increase in the pack
of sardines. In 1889 the sardines packed were valued at $1,676,105,
and in 1898 the value of the pack was $3,103,723. ‘There were no
mackerel canned in 1889, but in 1898 the pack of canned mackerel was:
valued at $44,848. There has also been an increase in the value of the
pack of canned clams from $43,050 in 1889 to $206,087 in 1898.

There has recently been considerable change in the management of
the sardine industry. In 1899 two companies were formed which
‘included a large majority of the sardine canneries of the State, and
the result has apparently been favorable to the interests of the business.

WHOLESALE FISH TRADE AND SMOKED-FISH INDUSTRY. |

The wholesale trade in fishery products, and the preparation of
smoked herring and haddock, the latter being known as ‘‘ Finnan had
die,” are of considerable importance in many of the fishing localities
on the coast of Maine. The fishery trade, though widely distributed, is
centered chiefly at Portland, in Cumberland County, and at Rockland
and Vinal Haven, in Knox County. The fish sold in a salted condition
are purchased from fishermen fresh, and afterwards cured by dealers,
or salted on board vessels before landing. Fresh fish, lobsters, clams.
scallops, and a variety of secondary products are also handled exten
sively. The greater part of the pack of ‘‘ Finnan haddie” is prepared
at Portland, while the smoking of herring is carried on principally a
Eastport and Lubec, in Washington County.

In 1898, exclusive of fishermen and sardine canners who prepare
considerable quantities of smoked and pickled herring and Russian
sardines, there were 124 firms, employing 748 persons in these twe
branches of industry. Their shore property was valued at $271,570.
The cost of materials utilized in the preparation of fishery products
was $89,645. The wages paid to employees aggregated $112,449, and
the cash capital employed in the business amounted to $410,625. The
products of the wholesale trade were valued at $1,899,191, and those
prepared in connection with the smoked-fish industry at $154,992.

SMOKED HERRING.

The smoked herring prepared by the fishermen are shown as such
in the general-products table for the State. The American-caught
herring smoked by the canners and regular smokers are included in

he statistics relating to the canning and smoked-fish industries, but
are shown as fresh herring in the general-products table, that being
jhe condition in which they were sold by the fishermen. It is cus-
omary for many of the fishermen to smoke a part of their own catch,
ut other classes of smokers utilize both American and Canadian
aught herring for smoking purposes.

THE MENHADEN INDUSTRY.

There has been considerable increase in the menhaden industry since
1889. In that year there were three factories, valued at $22,200,
while in 1898 there were four factories, valued at $190,000. The
products have increased from 282,465 gallons of oil, valued at $62,405,
and 2,305 tons of scrap, valued at $24,735 in 1889, to 765,000 gallons
of oil, valued at $191,250, and 9,120 tons of scrap, valued at $91,200
in 1898. In 1899, however, the factories were not operated, as no
menhaden appeared along the coast of Maine during that year.

With the exception of the preparation of menhaden for bait by
fishermen and dealers, the following table shows the extent of the
menhaden industry of Maine in 1898:

| FISHERIES OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

_ The commercial fisheries of New Hampshire are confined to Rock-
ingham County, that being the only one in the State touching the
Atlantic seaboard.

In 1898 the number of persons employed was 154. There were 5
vessels employed, valued with their outfits at $7,358, and 123 boats
valued at $5,395. The value of the fishing apparatus was $12,120.
he value of the pound nets and weirs represented more than half of
this amount, being $6,960. The shore property and cash capital aggre-
gated $27,775, the total investment being $52,648. The fisheries of
this State bhve decreased in the amount of capital invested and in the
value of the products about 50 per cent since 1889.

_ The products in 1898 were worth $48,987. The greater part of this
value was derived from the yield of cod, hake, haddock, cusk, and pol-
lock, which were worth $29,473. The yield of the lobster fishery was
Bioed at $9,372 and that of the mackerel fishery at $3,207. The
remaining products had a value of $6,935.

The three tables which follow show the extent of the fisheries in
detail for the year 1898.

FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. 3438

FISHERIES OF MASSACHUSETTS.

' Massachusetts has over two-thirds of the investment, more than half
' of the quantity, and nearly half of the value of the products of the
coast fisheries of New England. It is the leading fishing State of
New England, and in the items of investment and value of products it
| surpasses any other State. It had until recent years more persons
employed in the fishing industry than any other New England State,
but is now exceeded by Maine in this respect. The most important
branches of fishing prosecuted by vessels are the offshore bank fisheries
_ for cod, haddock, hake, halibut, and other ground species; the mackerel
fishery, and the whale fishery. The shore, or boat, fisheries embrace a
large number of species, but yield only about 20 per cent of the total
value of the fishery products of the State, a smaller percentage than
> any other New England State except Connecticut.
‘ The principal fishing ports, where the largest fleets of vessels are
owned and operated, are Gloucester, Boston, Provincetown, and New
_ Bedford. A considerable number of vessels, mostly of small size, are
' owned in various other localities, while the shore or boat fisheries
are prosecuted to a greater or less extent along the entire coast. The

whale fishery was engaged in by vessels from Boston and Provincetown,
but is centered principally at New Bedford. Some of the whaling
vessels owned at New Bedford have headquarters at San Francisco,
Cal., but are included in the statistics for Massachusetts.

The products of the fisheries of this State are derived chiefly from
_ the numerous offshore fishing banks extending along the North Ameri-
can coast from Nantucket Shoals, Massachusetts, to the Grand Banks
of Newfoundland. The products taken by boats in the shore fisheries
and by the smallest class of vessels represent practically all that are
obtained from jurisdictional waters. A very large percentage of the
principal species taken by vessels in the cod fisheries is from offshore
_ grounds. The mackerel fishery is also prosecuted along the coast, to a
greater or less extent, from Florida to the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The halibut supply has for many years been obtained mainly from
the banks off the New England coast, and from La Have, Banquereau,
Western, Grand, and other eastern banks. Since about 1895 large
quantities of halibut have been secured on grounds located to the north-
east of Newfoundland, in latitude 48° to 50° N. and longitude 50° to
51° W. The great demand for halibut in 1898 induced a Boston firm
to send a steam vessel on a voyage to the halibut grounds in the North
Pacific Ocean. These grounds are principally in latitude 50° to 55° N.
and longitude 135° to 140° W. This vessel had a crew of 28 men, and
during October, November, and December secured 411,011 pounds of
fresh halibut which, after being landed, was packed in refrigerator cars
and shipped to Boston by railroad, where it arrived in good condition.
It is interesting to note that the tishing-grounds in the North Atlantic

344 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

and Pacific oceans on which halibut have been found to be abundant
in the past few years are in approximately the same latitude. |
In the whale fishery one bark from Boston took 400 barrels of sperm
oil in the Okotsk Sea, north of Japan; one brig made a similar catch
in West Indian waters; one bark, the Swadlow, visited Kerguelen, or
Desolation Island, to obtain sea-elephant oil, and one schooner was at
the close of the year in those waters on a sealing voyage. There were
also four vessels from Provincetown fishing in the South Atlantic
Ocean, and the whaling fleet from New Bedford fished in the North
and South Atlantic, North and South Pacitic, and Arctic oceans.
The bark Swallow, of 310 tons, above referred to, with a crew of
34 men, sailed from Boston in July and arrived at Kerguelen Island
in December, 1897. This island is in the Southern Ocean in latitude
49° S. and longitude 69° E. Within three months about 4,000 sea-
elephants were secured, which yielded 63,000 gallons of oil having a
value of $20,790. It heing summer in that locality, no difficulty was
experienced from ice, but heavy fogs prevailed the greater part of the
time. The younger sea-elephants were taken in December, the larger
ones later in the season. They were all killed on shore by the use of
_ rifles, lances,and harpoons. Only the oil from the animals was saved.
It is used chiefly in tanning morocco and other leather. The vessel left
the island in March and Yeturned to Massachusetts on July 20, 1898,
after an absence of about a year. The captain reports that at Kerguelen
Island the young sea-elephants are chiefly produced in November, as
very few were born after his arrival there, and that they shed their
hair in December. The voyage of the Swallow is noteworthy, as the
Kerguelen Island sea-elephant fishery has not been regularly prosecuted
fora long period, the only other vessel visiting the island in recent years
being the Francis Allen, of New London, Conn., in about 1894.
The herring fisheries furnish another instance in which the products
are derived largely from waters outside of State jurisdiction, the New-
foundland herring fishery alone yielding about half of the entire catch
of this species. This fishery is apparently increasing in importance.
In 1896 it was engaged in by 43 vessels from Gloucester, 3 from Bey-
erly, and 1 from Provincetown; a total of 47 vessels, with a net tonnage
of 4,981 tons and a value of $239,316; the value of their outfit, seines
and gill nets, was $29,123 and the number of fishermen was 440. The
quantity of fresh frozen herring secured was 8,441,842 pounds, valued
at $117,649, and of salted herring 1,807,575 pounds, valued at $18,150.
In 1898 the Newfoundland herring fleet had increased to 56 vessels,
valued at $281,028. Of these, 51 were from Gloucester, 2 from Bev-

GENERAL STATISTICS.

_ In 1898 14,363 persons were employed in the coast fisheries of Mas-
sachusetts—on vessels fishing, 6,962; on vessels transporting fishery
_ products, 14; in the shore or boat fisheries, 3,365; and as shoresmen
‘in the various branches of fishery industry, 4,022.

The vessels engaged in fishing and transporting numbered 637, worth
$1,776,025. Their net tonnage was 30,558 tons, and the value of their
outfits $939,772. The number of boats used in the shore fisheries was
2,625, valued at $178,082. The apparatus of capture, consisting of
seines, gill nets, pound nets, trap nets, fyke nets, drag nets, dip nets,

hand and trawl lines, lobster and eel pots, harpoons, dredges, tongs,
rakes, and various minor apparatus, was valued at $556,525. Of this
amount $337,082 belong to the vessel and $219,443 to shore fisheries.
This is exclusive of harpoons, guns, and other means of capture used
in the whale fisheries, the value of which is included in the outfits of
vessels. The shore and accessory property employed in the fisheries
and fishery industries was valued at $5,125,248, and the cash capital
amounted to $4,797,250, the total investment being $13,372,902.

The products of the fisheries aggregated 202,257,817 pounds, valued

at $4,463,727. About 70 per cent of this quantity and nearly 50 per
cent of the value were comprised of the five principal species obtained
in the cod fisheries. These, combining the fresh and the salted of
each species, were cod, 71,314,978 pounds, $1,407,039; cusk, 5,954,036
pounds, $63,514; haddock, 35,581,514 pounds, $419,818; hake,
21,331,816 pounds, $163,634; and pollock, 7,084,037 pounds, $43,045;
the five species totalizing 141,266,381 pounds, and having a value of
$2,097,050. Other important species, with the quantity and value of
fresh and salted, were halibut, 10,523,297 pounds, $547,440; mackerel,
6,703,364 pounds, $361,864; herring, 22,363,497 pounds, $332,547;
sword-fish, 597,186 pounds, $35,280, and alewives, fresh, salted, and
smoked, 2,535,201 pounds, $31,288. The principal species disposed of
wholly in a fresh condition were blue-fish, 832,849 pounds, $38,089;
eels, 425,846 pounds, $17,635; flounders, 1,168,876 pounds, $14,793;
menhaden, 1,497,367 pounds, $10,544; scup, 1,043,625 pounds, $14,253,
and squeteague, 1,371,910 pounds, $39,518. Lobsters yielded 1,693,741
pounds, worth $147,702. The more important mollusks were oysters,
101,225 bushels, $156,235; clams, hard and soft, 210,912 bushels,
$153,318, and scallops, 145,919 bushels, $94,971. The yield of the
whale fisheries, consisting of whale, sperm, and sea-elephant oil, and
whalebone, was valued at $285,688.
_ A comparison of the statistics for 1898 with those for 1889 shows
that there has been a decrease of 2,875 in the number of persons
employed. The decrease in the number of vessel fishermen is 3,875,
nd in shore or boat fishermen, 383. This has been partly offset by
n increase of 1,383 in the number of shoresmen.

The vessels have decreased 199, or nearly 24 per cent, in number,

346 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

and $1,332,320, or 43 per cent, in value. The net tonnage has also
decreased about 48 per cent. ae instance of the gradual decrease in
vessels during the past nine years is furnished by the fishing fleet
at Gloucester, Mass. From July 1, 1897, to November 15, 1898, 27
vessels were sold and 24 lost; in the same period 11 vessels were
purchased and 7 built; the net decrease in the fleet in the 174 months
being 33 vessels. The vessels sold and lost have generally been larger
in size than those taking their places and the percentage of decrease
in number has therefore not been so large as in value and tonnage.
The decrease in boats is nearly 25 per cent in number and 30 per cent
in value, and in the value of the apparatus of capture about 44 per cent.
In the meantime there has been an increase of $2,067,041 in the value
of shore and accessory property, and of $513,050 in the cash capital;
resulting in an increase in the total investment of $127,673.

The products in 1898 as compared with 1889, if the various species of
algae gathered by fishermen are included, have decreased 96,959,852
pounds in quantity and $1,394,547 in value. In 1889 the algae consisted
of seaweed and Irish moss, and amounted to 117,993,900 pounds, valued
at $66,034, and in 1898 of 700,000 pounds of Irish moss, worth $22,375.
Eliminating these items for both years, the fishery products proper in
1898 show an increase of 20,334,048 pounds in quantity and a decrease
of $1,350,888 in value.

The following tables show the persons employed, the number and
value of vessels, boats, and apparatus of capture, the value of shore and
accessory property, the amount of cash capital, and the quantity and
value of the products of the fisheries of Massachusetts in 1898.

348 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

THE FISHERIES BY COUNTIES.

There are eight counties on the coast of this State, all of which are
interested in the fishing industry. These are Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk,
Plymouth, Barnstable, Nantucket, Dukes, and Bristol. The fisheries
of Essex County are the most extensive. The number of persons
employed in this county was 7,025. There were 4,853 in the vessel
fisheries, 740 in the shore or boat fisheries, and 1,432 in the wholesale
trade in fishery products and other shore industries connected with the
fisheries. The number of vessels fishing was 352, valued at $1,220,420.
and their outfits at $655,893; the number of boats was 451, valued at
$18,051; the fishing apparatus was valued at $262,403, the shore an
accessory property at $1,758,311, and the cash capital at $2,346,000,
the total investment being $6,261,078. The products amounted t
134,744,667 pounds, having a value of $2,578,806. The extent of the
fisheries of this county will be better appreciated when it is stated that
they represent practically one-half the fishery interests of the State an¢
are nearly equal in value to the fisheries of Maine, while they exceed
those of either of the other New England States.

The county next in importance is Suffolk. Its fisheries center at
Boston and gave employment to 3,027 persons, of whom 963 were ves:
sel fishermen, 129 shore or boat fishermen, and 1,935 shoresmen. ‘The
number of vessels fishing was 60, valued at $313,300, their outfits
having a value of $188,275. There were 99 boats used in the shor
fisheries, worth $5,590. The fishing apparatus was valued at $62,372.
the shore and accessory property at $3,160,910, and the cash capital a
$2,251,750, a total investment of $5,982,197. The quantity of pro:
ducts obtained was 27,780,143 pounds, valued at $529,835. .

In addition. to considerable quantities of other species, the fisheries
of these two counties produced 87 per cent of the quantity and 85 pel
cent of the value of the fresh and salted cod, cusk, haddock, hake, an
pollock; 94 per cent of the quantity and 91 per cent of the value of tht
halibut; 60 per cent of the quantity and 72 per cent of the value of the
mackerel, and 85 per cent of the quantity and 91 per cent of the value
of the herring taken in the fisheries of the entire Stete. The product
in both of these counties are derived mainly from the vessel fisheries.
The investment is also exceptionally large, especially in the items of
shore property and cash capital, which is due chiefly to the extensive
wholesale trade in fishery products at Gloucester and Boston.

Barnstable County had 2,307 persons engaged in the fisheries. Of
these 905 were on vessels fishing and transporting, 1,126 in the shore fish-
eries, and 276 were shoresmen. ‘lhe number of vessels employed was
157, valued at $186,755; and of boats in the shore fisheries, 929, valued
at $61,242. The fishing apparatus was valued at $177,318. Of this
amount $132,683 is the value of the apparatus in the shore fisheries,

FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. 349

which are more extensive than in any other county in the State. The
more important forms of apparatus used were seines, gill nets, and
lines in the vessel fisheries, and pound nets in the shore fisheries. The
total investment, including outfits of vessels, shore property, and cash
capital, was $608,158; and the products amounted to 26,761,104 pounds,
valued at $741,826.

_ Provincetown is the principal fishing port in this county. It had 62
vessels engaged in the food fisheries and 4 in the whale fishery, a total
of 66 vessels, valued at $134,950. The greater part of the fleet in the
food fisheries fished on Georges and other banks off the New England
coast, and six of the largest vessels made trips to the Grand Banks of
Newfoundland. The catch was marketed chiefly at Boston. There
were also 205 boats of various classes used in the shore fisheries. The
persons employed numbered 912, of whom 650 were vessel fishermen,
149 shore fishermen, and 113 shoresmen. The total investment was
$316,020, and the value of the products obtained by vessels and boats
was $355,907.

_ Besides the usual branches of fishing by vessels and boats, a fishery
for flounders is carried on in the harbor during the winter by boats
and by the smaller class of vessels with drag nets. These nets are
similar in construction to a beam trawl. They are 30 feet wide at the
mouth, 5 feet wide at the extreme end, and the length is 35 feet. The
method of operating them is to throw them overboard and drag them
on the bottom like a dredge, drawing them up at intervals to empty
the catch on the deck of the boat or vessel. They have been used in
this locality only a few years, and seldom take any other species than
flounders. |

“In each of the five remaining counties the fisheries are less extensive.
The aggregate number of persons employed was 2,004; the invest-
$521,469; and the quantity of the products, 12,971,903 pounds,
valued at $613,260.

The following statistical statements of the value of the fishing appa-
ratus, and the quantity and value of the products of the vessel and the
shore fisheries will serve to illustrate the importance of each of these
: branches of fishing in the various counties:

Hand and traw!] lines are by far the most important apparatus used
in the fisheries of this State, the yield being larger both in quantity —
and value than that of all the other means of capture combined. The —
products of the vessels with lines were 145,003,619 pounds, valued a‘
$2,560,871, and by boats 6,149,280 pounds, valued at $121,842, a total
of 151,152,899 pounds, valued at $2,682,713, as compared with
51,104,918 pounds, valued at $1,781,014, with all other kinds of appa-
ratus. The leading species in the vessel fisheries were cod, 37,349,753
pounds fresh, $624,924, and 29,573,631 pounds salted, $684,186; cusk, ©

eel pots were less widely distributed. The catch of lobsters by ves-
sels was 70,941 pounds, worth $6,552, and by boats 1,622,800 pounds,
worth $141,150. There were also secured in lobster pots at Chatham,
in Barnstable County, 9,500 pounds (the weight being exclusive of
shells), or 950 bushels of winkles, valued at $475. These are used by
the fishermen as bait for cod, and are said to be very good for that
purpose. The catch of eels in pots by vessels was 5,000 pounds,
valued at $150, and by boats 174,940 pounds, valued at $8,132; the
total catch with pots being 1,883,181 pounds, valued at $156,459.

Dredges, tongs, rakes, etc., constituted the means of capture in the
molluscan fisheries. About 18,498 bushels of scallops, valued at
$12,866, and oysters to the value of $50 were obtained by vessels. In
the shore or boat fisheries the products secured were scallops, 127,421
bushels, $82,105; clams, hard, 63,817 bushels, $50,724; clams, soft,

- WHOLESALE FISHERY TRADE OF BOSTON AND GLOUCESTER.

The wholesale trade in fishery products in Massachusetts centers
chiefly at Boston and Gloucester. These two cities are also the prin-
cipal receiving and distributing points for fishery products in the New
England States.

_ Boston is especially important as a fresh-fish market, but large
‘quantities of salted, smoked, and canned fish, oysters, ishetoas: and
other products are also buat. The supply is derived from a variety
of sources. The ocean species, disposed of in a fresh and salted con-
: dition, and as otherwise prepared, are caught and landed chiefly by the
f-vessels owned at Boston, and by vessels from Gloucester and
Bisectown, Mass., and from Buciiad. Me., and other localities on
the New England achat Large quantities be fish are received from
other sections of the Atlantic coast, and from the Great Lakes, the
Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific coast. There is also a considerable
‘quantity of fishery products of various kinds imported from the British
provinces and from a number of European countries.

ters, clams, quahogs, scallops, fish oil, glue, etc., valued at $1,764,518;
the total value of the trade being $8,951,653.

In comparing the statistics of this trade for 1889 and 1898, so far as
such a comparison is practicable, it should be remembered that the
business done by firms handling fish on commission was included in —
the former year, but not in the latter. . The data for 1898 show a con-
siderable increase in the quantity and value of fresh fish, but a decrease
in some of the other products; the total value of the trade being
$2,148,606 less than in 1889.

eee is one of the most important fish- aoe centers in
the United States, but its wholesale fishery trade is much less extensive
than that of Boston. It consists principally in the preparation and
distribution of salted and smoked fish and a large variety of secondary
products, such as fish oil, glue, isinglass, and fertilizer. In December,
1897, the fresh-fish business, which has now become an important
feature of the fishery trade at Gloucester, was established and carried
on by a company known as ‘The Gloucester Fresh Fish Company.”
Prior to that time halibut was almost the only food species handled
extensively in a fresh condition. The greater part of the fish utilized
in all branches of the fishery trade at Gloucester is caught and landed
by vessels owned there. A limited quantity is also obtained from other
sources. |

The number of firms in the wholesale trade in 1898 was 59. There
were 4 firms in the fresh-fish business, 39 in the salted, smoked, and
boneless fish trades, 10 in the manufacturing of fish oil, glue, isinglass,
and fertilizer, and 6 in box-making and other related industries. The
number of persons engaged in the trade, as proprietors and employees,
was 1,425; the amount of wages paid, $574,342; and the investment in
shore property and cash capital, $3,055,776. The products embraced —
fresh fish, 28,229,677 pounds, $793,505; salted fish 26,131,752 pounds, —
$1,011,177; boneless fish prepared from the salted fish and stated
separately on account of the importance of the quantity and value,
24,680,404 pounds, $1,356,796; smoked fish, 4,796,794 pounds, $220,047; —
and other products, inciuding canned fish, fish oil, glue, isinglass, fer-
tilizer, etc., 19,176,774 pounds, $705,456; the total quantity of products
Hadied in all brinisled of the trade feilay 103,015,401 pounds, haa
a value of $4,086,981.

There was a decronse in the total products of the trade in 1898, as
compared with 1889, of 15,160,990 pounds in quantity and $1,534,175
in value. The fresh, smoked, and canned fish, glue, isinglass, and fer:
tilizer products have increased, but the quantity of salted and boneless
fish decreased 42,021,835 pounds and the value $1,825,311. There was”
also a slight decrease in the quantity and value of fish oil.

364 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

FISHERIES OF RHODE ISLAND.

The fisheries of Rhode Island in 1898 gave employment to 1,687 per-
sons, of whom 444 were on vessels, 896 in the boat or shore fisheries,
and 347 were shoresmen. The investment in vessels, boats, fishing
apparatus, shore property, and cash capital amounted to $957,142.
The products aggregated 32,854,396 pounds, valued at $955,058.

The number of fishing and transporting vessels employed was 93,
having a net tonnage of 1,454 tons and a value of $167,850. The
value of their outfits was $46,597. There were 854 boats in the shore
fisheries, valued at $72,381. The apparatus of capture in the vessel
fisheries was valued at $50,763, and in the shore fisheries at $99,902.
The value of shore and accessory property was $439,149 and the cash
capital amounted to $80,500. |

The products consisted of 20,728,529 pounds of fish, including food ~
species, refuse fish, and menhaden, valued at $333,789; 457,378 bushels
of oysters, valued at $505,378; 46,227 bushels of clams and quahogs,
valued at $52,385; 19,231 bushels of scallops, valued at $10,471; 578,066
pounds of lobsters, valued at $43,290, and a variety of other species and
secondary products having a value of $9,745.

Since 1889, the year covered by the last general canvass, there has
been a slight decrease in the number of persons employed and of
$63,036 in the investment. The products have also decreased 94,511,079
pounds in quantity, but have increased $19,914 in value. There has ~
been a large increase in both the quantity and value of food species, ~
while the menhaden catch has decreased from 112,580,000 poundsg
valued at $281,450, to 3,140,000 pounds, valued at 87, 591.

There has been a pcndeiaee toward decline in the menhaden fishery
for a number of years. In 1892, for which a special canvass of some
of the important species was made, the catch of menhaden had decreased
to 34,045,230 pounds, valued at $115,992. The great falling otf in the
catch in 1898 is due principally to the fact that in the early part of
that year the menhaden industry was consolidated under the control
of a company having headquarters in New York City, and most of the
vessels which had formerly been engaged in the menhaden fisheries 0
Rhode Island were transferred to New York and have therefore beet
credited with their crews and catch to that State. This also accounts
for the decrease in the number of persons employed and the amount
of capital invested. The fish utilized by the menhaden factories i
Rhode Island were practically all supplied by vessels owned by the
company above referred to.

The scallop and clam fisheries have both declined.as compared witt
the statistics for the year 1892, the catch of the former in 1898 being
19,231 bushels, valued at $10,471, and of the latter 15,015 bushels
valued at $20,569, while in 1892 the yield of scallops was 52,690 bushel
and of clams 33,950 bushels. Quahoges were more abundant during 189%

FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. 365

than either scallops or clams, the yield amounting to 31,212 bushels,
valued at $31,816, against 19,950 bushels in 1892. The supply of clams
‘in 1898 was not equal to the local demand, a Jarge proportion of the
yield being used for clambakes.
The lobster fishery, as compared with 1892, shows a decrease in

products, but an increase in the quantity of apparatus employed. The
eatch of lobsters in 1892 was 774,100 pounds, valued at $53,762, and
in 1898 it was 578,066 pounds, valued at $43,290. The number of
pots used in the former year was 6,341 and in the latter 10,312. The
season for catching lobsters is principally from May to August, inclu-
sive, but more or less fishing is carried on throughout the year. While
the law prohibits the capture of lobsters under 9 inches in length, little
attention is paid to this provision. The cost of bait used in lobster
pots is not very great, as the lobstermen utilize all kinds of fish refuse,
which is often obtained from the trap-net fishermen and the local fish
markets without cost. |
- Seup is the most important species, next to oysters, obtained in the
fisheries of the State. The catch of scup in 1898 was 6,390,225 pounds,
valued at $75,596, all of which, except 2,300 pounds, worth $68, taken
with hand lines, was secured with trap nets and pound nets. It is said
that this fish has been phenomenally abundant every season since 1894.
Some years ago about 7,000 barrels of scup were -held in a large pound
for several months pending a rise in prices. They were fed chiefly on
yround menhaden and mussels. It was found that they greatly pre-
ferred the menhaden to anything else, the quantity fed to them a day
sing 100 barrels. When sold they were in good condition, and the
experiment proved a success, although a good many of the fish escaped
through a break in the pound. They will live, it is said, an entire
summer in a pound without being fed, but will become poorer than
when first impounded.
Squeteague or weak-fish are also very plentiful, and appear to be
petting more so each year. The catch in 1898 amounted to 3,125,635
pounds, valued at $63,976. At Wickford the sounds, or swim-bladders,
are taken from the squeteague, and after being dried are sold asa
“secondary product. It requires about 35 of these, when prepared for
“market, to make a pound, the average selling price of which was 30
cents, the total quantity sold being 2,100 pounds, valued at $630.
_ Alewives are taken in Point Judith Pond and other waters of the
tate, but the catch was not so large as in former years. ‘In 1889 the
y1 Bduct of fresh, salted, and smoked alewives aggregated 1,046,250
ounds, valued at $18,138; in 1892 it was 1,189,593 pounds, valued at
18,216, and in 1898, 838, 629 pounds, valued at $10, 273. The trade in
a ted Mewives was very much injured in 1898 by the Spanish-American
, the West Indies being the principal market for this product.
hi Brionts were made by only two persons, and amounted to 368 barrels.
Th 1899 3,000 barrels were shipped and prices were considerably better.

366 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The fishery for hard and soft shell crabs is carried on by several
persons to a limited extent in Narrow River, between Wickford and
Narragansett Pier, the season being from about the middle of June to
the last of August. Soft crabs were the more valuable, the price
received in 1898 being $1 a dozen, while the hard crabs brought only
about 25 cents a dozen. The catch of hard and soft crabs was 12,895
pounds, valued at $2,250.

The sword-fish fishery, which centers at Block Island, appears to
have declined during recent years, owing, it is said, to the scarcity of
fish. In former years 15 fish have been caught in a day by one vessel,
but a vessel is now considered lucky if she brings in 3 or 4, the chances —
being that the result of her day’s cruise will be only 1 or 2 fish, and
possibly none. In 1898 the total catch amounted to 55,875 pounds,
valued at $2,935. Their average weight, dressed, is about 200 pounds.
It is said that the largest specimen ever taken by the fishermen of
Block Island weighed 618 pounds and was captured about five years
ago. The fishery is carried on chiefly by 5 schooners, ranging from
13 to 25 tons net register. The season is from the middle of June to —
about the 10th of August. In suitable weather the vessels leave the
harbor in the morning about 4 o’clock, returning in the afternoon
about 5 or 6 o’clock. Before being shipped (and generally before the
vessel returns to port) the fish are dressed by removing the head, vis
cera, and fins, including the caudal, the ventral cavity being washed ~
out with sea water and the carcass wrapped in bagging. Boston and —
Providence are the principal markets for this product. |

The oyster industry is the most important branch of fisheries in the
State, its products at the present time having a greater value than all —
the other fishery products combined. There has been a substantial
increase in this industry during the past few years, the yield in 1898
being larger than in any previous year, except 1879, for which date
are available. The quantity of market and seed oysters taken from
the private and public grounds in 1889 was 203,450 bushels, valued at —
$271,939; in 1892 it was 174,446 bushels, valued at $259,242, and in
1898, 457,378 bushels, valued at $505,378.

The three tables which follow show the number of persons engaged

fishing apparatus, the value of shore and accessory property and the
amount of cash capital employed, and the quantity and value of th
products of the fisheries of Rhode Island in 1898:

368 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.
THE FISHERIES BY COUNTIES.

The five counties having fishery interests are Newport, Bristol, Proy-
idence, Kent, and Washington, the first named taking precedence over
all others in the number of persons employed and in the quantity and
value of fish proper, although Bristol County ranks first in the total
value of products, owing to the large oyster yield, this fishery being
conducted chiefly in Bristol, Providence, and Kent counties.

The molluscan fisheries of Newport County are mainly for quahogs,
clams, and mussels, most of the quahogs in 1898 being from Codding-
ton Cove, near Newport, where 2,640 bushels were secured, valued at -
$3,080. The price received for them was $1 per bushel in summer and
$1.25 in the winter. Of the clams shown for this county 1,500 irae
were obtained from ‘‘ Salt Pond,” on Block Island.

In the lobster fishery Newport County ranks first and Woshiligtol
second, the entire lobster catch of the State being taken in these two
counties, except 2,500 pounds, valued at $188, in Bristol County,

Newport County is also prominent in the number of vessels employed
and in the trap-net and pound-net fisheries. The number of vessels in
its fisheries was 53, valued at $70,550, and the number of trap nets and
pound nets was 111, valued at $83, 550; being over. half the number:
of vessels and of 230 nets and pound nets in the State. The catch of
trap nets and pound nets in this county aggregated 10,561,019 pounds,
valued at $151,729, or about 73 per cent of the total catch an the State
by these He BL ON

Block Island, in Newport County, is the principal center of the line
and sword-fish fisheries. The products in 1898 aggregated 2,327,026
pounds, valued at $64,399, consisting chiefly of cod, haddock, blue-fish,
mackerel, and sword-fish in the vessel fisheries, and of squeteague,
flat-fish and flounders, bonito, pollock, alewives, sea bass, and scup in
the shore fisheries.

In the vessel fisheries there were 8 schooners, of from 13 to 25 tons
net register, valued at $19,100, and 13 smaller vessels, valued at $8,000;
a total of 21 vessels, valued at $27,100, with 239 net tons.

Besides quite a number of small rowboats, there were in the shore
fisheries 25 sailboats, valued at $7,850. The principal apparatus it
the shore fisheries were pound nets, gill nets, lobster pots, and lines.

The vessel fisheries of Block Island have undergone some change
during recent years with respect to types of vessels. The old style
‘pinky ” or ‘‘ Block Island boat” is no longer built, being superseded
by the ‘‘catboat.” Five old pinky boats still remain in the business
but no vessels of this type have been built during the past 18 or 2
years. The ‘‘ Block Island boat” was especially well adapted for with-
standing a heavy sea, being deep and double-ended; they are easil}
managed and fast sailers, but somewhat lacking in accommodations; 2
of these vessels were employed in the fisheries at Block Island in 1879

4 FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. 369

Kent County has smaller fishery interests than any of the others,
the most valuable products being oysters, quahogs, and scallops, in
the order named. Practically the entire catch of scallops is credited
tothis county. The catch of Bristol and Providence counties, like that
of Kent County, consists chiefly of shellfish.

Washington County ranks second in the yield of products, exclusive
of the molluscan fisheries. In this county 76 pound nets, valued at
$25,120, are used. Quite a number of these are set in the salt-water
ponds that fringe the coast between Point Judith and Watch Hill.
Some of them are of comparatively small value and are used for catch-

ing eels and other fish that enter these ponds from the sea. :

THE VESSEL AND SHORE FISHERIES.

The number of vessels fishing was 69, valued at $121,600; their net
tonnage being 894 tons and the value of their outfits $43,441. The
number engaged in transporting, comprised almost wholly of sai
vessels, was 24, valued at $46,250, their net tonnage being 560 tons
and the value , their outfits $3, 156.

The vessels included 20 steamers, 14 of which were engaged in the
oyster and 6 in the trap-net fisheries. A number of vessels employ J
in the fisheries of this State during a part of the year have been cred-
ited to other States where they were owned and used in the fisheries.
The products of the vessel fisheries aggregated 18,385,634. pounds.
valued at $536,037, the more important species being oysters, scup,
cod, squeteague, flat-fish and flounders, mackerel, menhaden, haddock,

lobsters, and sea bass. The yield of the shore fisheries was 14,468,762

_ pounds, valued at $419,021, the principal species, in the order of their
importance, being oysters, squeteague, lobsters, scup, quahogs, clams,
eels, flat-fish and flounders, blue-fish, striped bass, cod, scallops, ale-
wives, mackerel, and tautog.

The most valuable and effective forms of apparatus employed for
the capture of fish proper in the vessel and shore fisheries were trap
nets and pound nets. In the vessel fisheries 27 trap nets were operated,
having a value of $41,900. The value of all other forms of apparatus
‘used by the vessels, including purse seines, snap nets, lines, pots, har-
poons, dredges, tongs, etc., was $8,863. In the shore fisheries there
were 175 trap nets and pound nets used, valued at $68,495; all other
‘apparatus, consisting of seines, gill nets, ‘eke nets, lines, vibits spears,
dredges, tongs, etc., being valued at $31,407.

_ Some of the ocean trap nets have a weight, including the leader but
exclusive of anchors, of about 3,000 pounds. The construction of one
of these trap nets pdiiees shiva 2,000 pounds of rope, varying from
2-inch to the large cable size, and costing 7 cents a pound, and 8,000
_ corks or floats worth $3 a Leadred. About eighteen anchors, eae
from 200 to 700 pounds each, are also necessary for setting one of these
nets. The names “‘ trap ” and **pound” are often used interchangeably
by the fishermen, but the former relates more properly to the floating
trap net held in place by anchors, and the latter to the pound net set
| with stakes.

. _ The trap-net fishery centering at Sakonnet Point and in the vicinity
of Newport is of considerable importance. In addition to the small
boats ordinarily used in the fishery, there were nine steamboats
(some of them not owned in the State) engaged in tending the nets
! ep nsporting the fish. Three steamboats not owned in the State
vere employed in the pound-net fishery between Point Judith and
Watch Hill, in Washington County. The trap nets, with perhaps a
few Beeeeons, were set in deep water.

The season for fishing trap nets and pound nets extends from the
latter part of April to about the 15th of July, the best fishing being
|from May 1to June 15. There is also more or less pound-net fishing
| carried on in different parts of the State in the summer and fall, but the
| eatch is not so large as it is in the spring. The spring fishing is often
| called ‘‘ scup fishing,” on account of the predominance of that species
| in May and the early part of June. A large deep-water trap net is
capable of holding thousands of barrels of fish at one time; but the
‘sScup were so abundant in 1898 that some of the nets were closed at
| times to allow them to pass by. When the fish are so plentiful prices
are very low and shipments can not be made with profit. The products
| secured with trap nets and pound nets in 1898 aggregated 14,385,126
pounds, valued at $220,791. Of this quantity 6,387,925 pounds, valued
| at $75,528, were scup, and 7,997,201 pounds, valued at $145,268,

consisted of flat-fish and flounders, anes sea bass, butter-fish,
and various other species.

The most important group of apparatus employed in the fisheries
of the State, as determined by the value of the catch, was comprised
of dredges, tongs, clam diggers, and hoes. The soabsiiaile obtained
with these consisted of oysters and oyster shells, clams, quahogs, and
scallops, and were valued at $572,896. A considerable quantity of
products was also taken with other forms of apparatus. The yield
of seines amounted to 3,630,143 pounds, valued at $21,978, the more
important species being mackerel, menhaden, and alewives. Gill nets
secured 330,770 pounds, valued at $11,828, consisting principally of
blue-fish and squeteague. The catch of fyke nets was 141,645 pounds,
valued at $3,385, the greater part of which was flat-fish. The hand and
trawl line catch was 1,972,116 pounds, valued at $60,076, the more
abundant species being cod, haddock, mackerel, tautog, and blue-fish.
The catch with lobster and eel pots consisted of 578,066 pounds of
lobsters, valued at $43,290, and 291,225 pounds of eels, valued at
$13,271. In the vessel fisheries harpoons were used for the capture
of sword-fish, the catch being 55,875 pounds, valued at $2,935. The
remainder of the products was taken with spears, snap nets, and minor
apparatus, and was valued at $4,608.

The following series of tables shows by counties, species, and appa-
ratus the quantity and value of products obtained in the vessel and
shore fisheries of Rhode Island in 1898:

_ THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.

The private cultivation of oysters is carried on under the general
supervision of the State, represented by a shellfish commission, from
which leases of oyster-grounds are secured. The rental depends upon
the depth of water. For a depth pf 12 feet and over at mean low tide ©
it is $5 an acre; under 12 feet, $10 anacre. In determining the depth
of water a Government chart is used and the acreage is measured by
the State surveyor. The revenue accruing to the State from this source
‘during the year 1898 amounted to $7,690.07, and it was estimated that
the receipts for the following year would be $20,000 or more. Leases
are not granted to persons outside of the State, but a large percentage
of the total acreage is planted and controlled by oyster planters living
in other States, who obtain leases through the medium of their foremen
or other residents. In 1898 the total area held by lessees was 1,922.3
acres, most of which rented for $10 an acre.

The total yield of the private beds was 439,148 bushels of market-
able oysters, valued at $497,360, and of the public oyster-grounds
2,580 bushels, valued at $2,788, while 15,650 bushels of native seed
were obtained and planted, the value of which was $5,230. In1892 the
total area under cultivation was 700 acres. The yield of marketable
oysters from the cultivated areas was about 157,581 bushels, valued
at $251,384, and from the public grounds it was approximately 2,000
bushels, valued at $2,075. There were also 14,865 bushels of native
seed oysters used for planting purposes, having a value of $5,783. |

In the upper waters of Narragansett Bay considerable difficulty is
sometimes experienced by the planters in connection with the green-
ing of the oysters. A good deal of the ground formerly occupied in
this section has therefore been abandoned, the disposition being. to
take up land farther down the bay. A considerable area has recently
been leased in Mount Hope Bay, most of which rents for $5 an acre,
and large plants were made there in 1899.

In addition to the stock already on the beds, there were planted by
the cultivators in 1898 420,200 bushels of seed oysters, valued at
$268,730 when delivered. The bulk of this supply was from Connect-
icut waters, sailing vessels being chiefly used as transporters. At one

.. FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. 377

time seed oysters from Virginia were cultivated by the planters of
Narragansett Bay, but the climate has been found to be too severe for
the southern product.

The seed supply of 1898 was from the following sources:

ne es ae ee | 420, 200 268, 730

* Including a few seed from Greenport, N. Y.

"The price for Connecticut seed ranged from 50 cents to 95 cents a
bushel, according to age, but the usual cost was 65 cents, including
reight, which was generally 5 cents a bushel. Native seed brought
from 25 to 40 cents a bushel. Some of these were picked up by hand
t low tide along the shores. The Seakonk River is one of the chief
ources of native seed supply. These oysters, as well as the seed from
Somerset, Mass., are green when first taken from the water, and are
mnly used for planting purposes, but the green color disappears in a
hort time after they have been transplanted. Some of the oyster-
lanters from Connecticut raise their own seed ap and transplant
hem to the Rhode Island beds in the spring.

- Quite a number of oyster-planters sold shells during 1898, which
vere used on roads, in gas works, and for planting purposes, the total
uantity sold by thioeas being 127,900 bushels, worth $3,968. Others
lid not sell any shells, having need for them on their own beds, and one
ultivator found it necessary to buy 80,000 bushels.

_ Starfish do not appear to be so destructive as formerly, owing to the
systematic and persistent manner in which they are destroyed by the
jyster-planters, tangles being used for catching them. It would seem
hat isolated beds suffer most from this enemy. Of 1,200 bushels of
eed planted in 1897 at Wickford only 300 bushels of marketable oys-
ers were secured, the remainder being destroyed by starfish. In 1898
7,362 bushels of starfish were caught by the oyster-growers of Narra-
pansett Bay, chiefly by those of Bristol and Providence counties.
The mussel is another source of annoyance to the oyster-planter.
fhe usual method of destroying them is by exposing the oysters to
the sun until the mussels which are attached to them die and fall off.
he oysters are then returned to the water. This process is effective,
jut is supposed to be more or less injurious to the oysters. If the
lussels are not removed, the oysters become poor and are also very
roublesome to open.

The following table shows the extent of the oyster industry of Rhode
sland in 1898. _

THE MENHADEN INDUSTRY.

In 1898 there were two menhaden factories in Rhode Island, one of
which was in operation only six weeks. 106,838 barrels of menhaden,
equivalent to about 35,612,667 fish, were handled at these factories, and
the resulting products were 306,960 gallons of oil, valued at $61,407
and 3,576 tons of scrap, valued at $34,982. The largest catches of
menhaden are made in June, July, August, and September. The yield
of oil varies from 4 to 4 gallons for each barrel of fish, according te
their condition, which depends somewhat on where they are obtaingg
and the time oe the season in which they are caught.

The following table shows the important features of the menhader n
industry in Rhode Island for 1898:

THE WHOLESALE FISHERY TRADE.

The wholesale trade was conducted by three firms in Providen
and one in Newport, the principal products being fresh fish and lob-
sters. The greater part of the lobsters were handled at Newport
The value of the four establishments was $28,025. The amount of
cash capital was $20,500, while $13,180 were paid out in wages, the
number of employees being 28. The value of the products as sold
amounted to nearly $200,000.

FISHERIES OF CONNECTICUT.

In 1898 there were 2,473 persons employed in the fishery industries
Connecticut. The investment in vessels, apparatus, etc., amounted
) $1,241,291, and the products amounted to 31,920,417 pounds, for
hich the fishermen received $1,559,599.

Compared with 1889, the fisheries were fairly prosperous, and com-
aratively few changes of importance occurred. A decrease appears
n the number of the fishermen, due principally to the use of better
juipment both in vessels and apparatus of capture. The value of
he capital invested, as shown by the returns, decreased from $2,826,834
(1889 to $1,241,291 in 1898. This is not due so much to a decrease
| the investment as to a change in the manner of reporting it. In
he former year the value of the oyster- -grounds was included with the
2m of shore property, whereas in 1898 it was omitted entirely. If
jat. item be excluded from the returns for each year, the decrease in the
vestment appears to be only $282,818 instead of $1,585,543, as in the
ables. The total value of the product shows a fractional increase over
at of 1889, when it was $1,557,506, whereas in 1898 it was $1,559,599.

‘The two Beincipal items in ite pada as in 1889, were oysters
d.lobsters, the yield of the former being valued at $1, 249 071, or 80:
sr cent of the total, and of the latter $83,748, or 5 per cent of the
otal. In 1889 the beats yield was valued at $1,055,807 and the lob-
er product at $83,099. The yield of menhaden and cod, which were
sspectively third and fourth in rank in 1889, have decreased in value,
1e former from $100,569 to $26,334 and the latter from $50,018 to
10,978 in the two years under comparison. The yield of blue-fish,
ay ah sea bass, squeteague, hard clams, and soft clams shows little
hange in value, but the fisheries for halibut and red snappers are no
onger prosecuted by vessels from this State.

‘The three tables which follow show the number of persons employed,

he amount of capital invested, and the quantity and value of paadues
Mecured in the fisheries of Connecticut in 1898.

FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. 381
THE FISHERIES BY COUNTIES.

Five counties in Connecticut have commercial fisheries, viz, Fair-
eld, New Haven, Middlesex, New London, and Hartford.. All of
hese except Middlesex border Long Island Sound, and Middlesex,
fartford, and New London border the Connecticut River. The fol-
ving tables indicate the extent to which each of these was interested
a the fishing industries in 1898. New Haven and Fairfield counties,
rith their important oyster industries, rank first and second, respec-
vely, in the items of persons employed, investment, and value of
roducts, but of fish proper sa London yields far more than all other
unties gogibined:

THE PRODUCTS BY APPARATUS OF CAPTURE.

As regards the value of the products, the principal forms of apparatu
employed in the fisheries of Connecticut are those used in the mollusca
fisheries, viz, dredges, tongs, etc. The yield of these in 1898 amountec
to $1,303,026, or 83 per cent of the total value. The items entering int
this value are oysters, $1,249,071; hard clams, $29,900; soft clams.
$19,039, and scallops, $5,016. Pots and spears rank next in importan
in this particular, with a yield valued at $98,000, consisting of $83, 74
worth of lobsters, $14,004 of eels, and $248 of flounders.

Of the forms &: apparatus employed in the capture of fish pro
lines yielded the largest value, viz, $60,574, comprised principal aa 0:
blue-fish, sea bass, and cod, the ‘wiih of ob being valued at $32,087
$12,152, and $10,924, respectively. The value of other species take
by lines was $5,411, of which $2,164 represented the value of tauto
or black-fish. The seine fishery was second in importance, yieldin:
7,437,144 pounds, valued at $33,855. Menhaden was the most impor
tant item in this product, with a yield of 6,428,010 pounds, wort
$16,947. Alewives and shad ranked next, with a return of 810,30(
and 94,120 pounds, worth $6,891 and $4,064, respectively.

The pound-net fishery, which is prosecuted only in New Haven
Middlesex, and New London counties, yielded 5,486,670 pounds ©
fish, for which the fishermen received $32,374—a decrease from 1889

FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. 383
vhe on the product was 7,556,665 pounds, worth $43,288. The principal
ems in the returns for 1898 were menhaden, 4,706,900 pounds, worth
287; flounders, 277,654 pounds, worth $7, 843; squeteague, 179,893
unc Syorth $4,728; scup, 96,020 pounds, ore $3,288; and butter-
oo, 280 pounds, worth $2, 37 0.
he gill-net fishery yielded 401,511 pounds of fish in 1898, valued
: 17, 074, of which 375,561 pounds, worth $15,680, represented the
C yield. The remaining species taken by means of gill nets were
ue-fish, squeteague, striped bass, and alewives.
Although fyke nets are used in every county in the State in which
series are prosecuted, the fishery is of comparatively little impor-
, the total yield amounting to only 213,083 pounds, worth $6,096.
2 principal item in this total was flounders, the yield of which
nounted to 131,760 pounds, worth $4,206.
The following series of eight tables shows, by counties and species,

THE MENHADEN INDUSTRY. -

There were three menhaden factories in Connecticut in 1898 as com
pared with four in 1889; but the value of those three was only $24,000
and they employed 52 men, whereas the four factories in 1889 were
valued at $83,200, and the factory employees numbered 82. A greate:
decrease has occurred in the number of steamers employed, of which
there were six worth $61,500 in 1889, and in 1898 there were but two,
valued at $14,000. The quantity of fish utilized at the factories in the
latter year was 13,259,350 in number, from which $39,763 worth of oi
and scrap was prepared.

DREDGING AND OTHER RECORDS OF THE STEAMER ALBA-
TROSS, WITH BIBLIOGRAPHY RELATIVE TO THE WORK OF
THE VESSEL.

Compiled by C. H. TOWNSEND,
Chief of Division of Fisheries, U. S. Fish Commission.

PREFACE.

The records of observations connected with the dredging, sounding,
nd other operations conducted on board the Albatross since the first
royage of the vessel in 1883 have been published in full from year to
fear in the reports of the United States Fish Commission; but being
eattered through a series of bulky volumes, many of which can no
mger be supplied, it has become desirable to bring them together
1 order to secure complete data respecting these operations. The
riter, on account of his familiarity with the work of the ship, having
arved as naturalist during most of the cruises from 1886 to 1900, has
sen requested to compile the records and bibliography.

‘There has been a demand for the station records of the Albatross,
ot only as an aid in identifying the large collections of the vessel
laced in the hands of specialists for study or deposited in museums,
ut as a reference book for use in connection with the numerous
sports which have already appeared relating to them. In certain
apers based on Albatross material localities are referred to by station
imbers only, which the complete dredging records presented here-
rith will render intelligible.

The dredging records include data connected with 1,786 hauls of
1e dredge, beam trawl, etc., at all depths from the shore down to
173 fathoms (the deepest), and cover areas extending from the Banks
‘ Newfoundland along both coasts of North and South America to
ering Sea, with limited areas in the tropical Pacific and the region from
Japan to Kamchatka. The data accompanying the serial numbers
‘the stations show the date, position, depth, temperature of surface
nd bottom, the character of bottom, and the instrument used.

‘The hydrographic records are included here as an aid in the identi-
Ce tion of specimens of bottom deposits. As the 4,000 or more sound-
igs made by the vessel have already found their way upon the various
iarts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, their positions have not been
atted on the accompanying maps in connection with those of the
redging stations.

390 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The serial numbers of Albatross dredging and hydrographic stations,
the former beginning at 2001 and the latter at 1, were carried without
change or duplication from 1883 until 1899, when the series ‘‘ A. A.”
(A. Agassiz) was added temporarily. During the cruise through the
tropical Pacific all of the specimens received ‘‘A. A.” numbers; these
are shown, both in the dredging and hydrographic series, in columns
parallel with the regular serial numbers, which are still continued.

The records of tow-net stations—not kept systematically during the
earlier work of the Albatross—are presented for the period from 1887
to 1900 only. The numbers identifying them are not, unfortunately
continuous from year to year. They are frequently identical with the
nearest dredging or hydrographie stations.

The oceanic areas explored by the Albatross have been platted upor
the accompanying series of charts. As the vessel returned to certain
regions year after year, it will be noticed that the serial numbers of
the dredging stations are much seattered. Two of the maps show the
positions of dredging stations in depths greater than 100 fathoms, the
dredgings of less than 100 fathoms being shown on a separate map.

A list of dredging stations, by Sanderson Smith, published in 1888
contains, with earlier dredging records, several maps which show the
positions of dredging stations. Itis numbered 58 in the accompanying
eatalog of publications. Other maps showing the positions of Alba
tross dredging and hydrographic stations will be found in the papers
numbered 52, 59, 71, 86, 87, 89, 117, 159, and 198. The most important
of these, with respect to deep-sea dredging, is No. 86 (same map 4
in No. 198), showing the positions of stations from Panama to the Gul
of California. |

The catalog of papers relating wholly or in part to the work of the
Albatross numbers nearly 300 titles, including those in preparation.
It is annotated briefly, the names of new genera and species describe
in each paper being given in full.

The yearly reports of the commanding officer of the Albatross cor
tain accounts of the daily movements of the vessel. They present noi
only the dredging and hydrographic data, but the records on oceai
temperatures, specific gravities, and other observations made on board
with many notes on the general character of dredge hauls. Reference
should be made to these reports! for many details respecting the work
of the Albatross and for numerous records not presented in this paper.

Special papers on the results of Albatross investigations have beet
published in the reports and bulletins of the U. 8. Fish Commission
the proceedings, bulletins, and reports of the U.S. National Museum
the bulletins and memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, the
proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, the transactions
of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in the America
Journal of Science. In the proceedings of the U. S. National Museum

RECORDS OF THE ALBATROSS. 391

will be found a series entitled ‘‘Scientific results of explorations by
the U. 8. Fish Commission steamer Albatross”; the bulletin and
memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoology contain a series of
“reports on the dredging operations off the west coast of Central
America and Mexico to the Galapagos Islands and in the Gulf of
California, under the direction of Alexander Agassiz.”
The bibliographical matter is arranged chronologically and is com-
posed almost entirely of American papers, although the titles of a few
European publications will be found near the end of the catalog.
‘The explorations of the vessel have been referred to from time to time
in the reports of the Challenger and other European deep-sea exploring
expeditions, and in the journals of geographical societies, but very
few contain more than brief notes on the subject.
It has not been thought desirable to include the titles of certain
official documents relating to the naval patrol of Bering Sea, in which
he Albatross was much employed; and some unimportant references
in periodicals have also been disregarded. A considerable amount of
' deep-sea exploration was accomplished by the U. 8. Fish Commission
steamer Mish Hawk, both before and after the launching of the Alba-
tross, which has been the subject of numerous reports in the publica-
tions of the Fish Commission and elsewhere. In some reports the
sults of the work of the two vessels were combined.
_ The Albatross has been regularly in charge of naval commanders
whose periods of service have been as follows: November, 1882, to
May, 1894, Z. L. Tanner; May, 1894, to May, 1896, F. J. Drake; May,
1896, to the present time, J. F. Moser. Occasionally, when employed
in special investigations, the work of the ship was placed under the
lirection of other persons. _

During the work of the Albatross, which was primarily the investi-
gation of the fisheries and fishing-grounds, dredging was carried on
more or less regularly as opportunity afforded, but it has been by no
means continuous from year to year. For several years, from about
1892 to 1898, comparatively little work of this character was accom-
plished, owing to the vessel having been frequently detailed for spe-
ial lines of work in other departments of the public service. In 1889
the Albatross was assigned for a time to the service of the Senate
Committee.on Indian Affairs in Alaskan waters, and in 1891 was
engaged for several months in the survey of the cable route between
alifornia and the Hawaiian Islands. In 1898 it was detailed to the
Navy Department for service in the war with Spain. During the long
period of the Bering Sea controversy the vessel was much employed
in connection with the naval patrol of Bering Sea and in the service of
the commissions created for the investigation of the fur-seal fisheries.
The surveys of fishing-grounds, always accompanied with considerable
use of the dredge, and the special voyages for deep-sea exploration
were thus so frequently interrupted that dredging was practically
discontinued for long periods.

392 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.

The work of the Albatross from her first voyage to the present time
may be stated briefly as follows:

1883. Fishery and deep-sea investigations off the coasts of the Middle Atlantic and
New England States. ,

1884. Fishery, hy: drographic, and deep-sea investigations along the Atlantic coast
of the United States and in the Caribbean Sea.

1885. Fishery and deep-sea investigations along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of
the United States and northward to Newfoundland.

1886. Fishery, hydrographic, and deep-sea investigations among the Bahama
Islands and along the Atlantic coast of the United States northward to
Newfoundland.

1887. Deep-sea exp'orations among the Lesser Antilles and along the Atlantic
coast of South America on voyage to the Pacific coast.

1888. Voyage around South America continued, with deep-sea explorations off the
Pacific coasts of South America and Mexico and fishery investigations off
the United States and Alaskan coasts.

1889. Fishery and deep-sea investigations off the coast of the United States and
Lower California.

1890. Fishery investigations off the west coastof the United Statesand in Bering §

1891. Deep-sea explorations, west coast of Mexico and Central America and off the
Galapagos Islands (winter).

Cruise with Pering Sea Commission to the Pribilof Islands (summer).
Fishery investigations off the coast of Washington and survey of cable route

between California and Hawaiian Islands (fall).

1892. Hawaiian cablesurvey continued. Fur-seal and fishery investigations, A
kan coast, and voyage to Commander Islands. <3

1893. Fur-seal and fishery investigations in Alaskan watersand patrolof Bering Sea.

1894. Fur-seal investigations and patrol of Bering Sea.

1895. Fur-seal investizations in Alassan waters and voyage to Commander Islands, -

1896. Fur-seal investigations, Pritiiof Islands, Commander Islands. Okhotsk Sea
Kuril Islands, Japan coast, and return voyage via Hawaiian Islands.

1897. Fishery investigations. west coast of thé United States, and special salmon
fishery investigations in Alaska.

1898. In service of Navy Department during war with Spain.

1899-1900. Voyage of exploration through the tropical Pacific to Japan. Salmor
fishery investigations in Alaska.

1901. Salmon fishery investigations in southeast Alaska.

While it is scarcely expected that the present compilation will be fre
from errors, it is hoped that it will be of substantial service not only i
- connection with the study of the ever-increasing collections of the Alba-
. tross, but as a contribution to the general subject of oceanography.
