Excerpt from Report of the United States Commissioner of Fisheries: For the Fiscal Year 1915, With Appendixes Sir: There is submitted herewith a report giving an outline review of the operations of the Bureau of Fisheries during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915. Propagation and Distribution of Food Fishes. Review of the Operations. The scope and magnitude of the Bureau's operations in relation to the propagation and distribution of food and game fishes, and the bearing of this work on the maintenance of the fishery resources of the nation, are indicated by the following table, which shows an output of 4,288,757,800 fish and ova, an increase of 241,000,000 over the preceding year. The increased output was accompanied by a diminished unit cost of production and a very noteworthy increase in the number of fish reared to the fingerling and yearling stages. As improved facilities are gradually provided at the various stations, in accordance with the established policy of the Bureau, the rearing of certain kinds of fishes will be further and further extended, and the effectiveness of the fish-cultural work will thus be annually augmented. In 1915 the fish distributed as fingerlings, yearlings, and adults numbered over 58,000,000, an increase of more than 150 per cent over 1914, made up largely of salmons, trouts, and basses.

Excerpt from Report of the United States Commissioner of Fisheries: For the Fiscal Year 1927 With Appendixes Department of Commerce, Bureau of Fisheries, Washington, July 1, 1927. Hon. Herbert Hoover. Secretary of Commerce. Dear Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to submit the following summary of the major operations of the Bureau of Fisheries during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1927. Perhaps the most noteworthy development of the year has been the growing appreciation of and expressed need for expansion of modern scientific research in the solution of fishery problems. This is shared by men in the fishery industries confronted by the many problems in the taking, merchandising, and distribution of fish and fishery products; by State and other officials interested in determining the condition and trend of each fishery and the need for and character of regulations necessary for the husbanding and wise use of our fishery resources; by Federal, State, and private agencies confronted with problems of large-scale fish propagation, the prevention of losses by fish diseases, and the development of the science of agriculture; and by the thousands of organizations and individuals interested in having good fishing and enjoying the use of lakes and streams for recreational pursuits. It is believed that the bureau's present program of practical research and applied science is accomplishing much in inspiring confidence in and dependence on modern science for the solution of problems in fish culture, fishery administration, and technology. This also applies to the important duty of regulating and conserving the highly valuable fisheries of Alaska. The concern felt for the future of such fisheries as those for shad, sturgeon, whitefishes, and lobsters, and the appreciation of the value of scientific research as a basis for wise administration of fishery resources, has caused demands to be made wholly beyond the scope of the scientific staff to cope with; and the same is true of demands for assistance from the bureau's technological staff in solving the problems of the commercial fishermen. The bureau produced 6,481,073,000 fish and eggs for stocking various waters, an increase of more than 1,000,000,000 over the preceding year and the greatest production in the history of the bureau. Fifty-five cooperative fish nurseries assisted in rearing more fish from the fry stage to a length of 3 or 4 inches. Greater cooperation with State commissions helped to make this an unusually successful year; nevertheless present facilities are wholly inadequate for meeting the increasing demand for the trouts, basses, and sunfishes. In 1926 the fishery industries experienced one of the most successful years in their history. The vessel landings at New England ports, which averaged about 170,000,000 pounds for the five-year period - 1920 to 1924 - had increased to nearly 217,000,000 pounds in 1925 and made a further increase to over 238,000,000 pounds in 1926. In large measure this growth is due to the growing demand for fish packed as fillets and steaks and to the unusually large catches of mackerel, which in 1926 exceeded 60,000,000 pounds. Landings of haddock (the principal fish sold in package form) averaged 73,000,000 pounds for the five-year period - 1920 to 1924 - increasing to nearly 92,000,000 pounds in 1925 and to more than 94,000,000 pounds in 1926.

Excerpt from Report of the United States Commissioner of Fisheries: For the Fiscal Year 1924, With Appendixes In connection 'with this study of the migration of the cod, pollock, and haddock, extensive scale collections have been made. The scales are being examined carefully and important data bearing on the age and rate of growth secured. Scale studies have been used extensively and with great success in determining the age and rate of growth of many fishes, in this country notably the salmon, and it is believed that the application of this method to the study of cod and similar fishes of the New England coast. Will provide informa tion of the greatest value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
