FISH BREEDING IN 1881. 



The general success of the several institutions during 1884, as given 

 below, will be found satisfactory, as evidencing the onward progress of 

 the work as a whole, although returns from some of the hatcheries do 

 not show as large a crop of ova laid down as in the previous year of 

 1883. The falling off" in the quantity of eggs was occasioned by a less 

 number of parent salmon having been captured at some of the stations 

 than during the season of 1883. 



There are now twelve establishments for the propagation of fish by 

 artificial methods, in actual operation in the several provinces of the 

 Dominion. These hatcheries are all at the present time (December 31, 

 1884) largely filled with fish eggs which have been collected at various 

 points throughout Canada during the spawning season of 1884. The 

 latest hatchery erected on the Eraser Eiver in British Columbia was 

 completed only in time to receive its first croj) of ova last autumn. 



Particulars relative to the rearing and distribution of fry from eleven 

 of the above-mentioned nurseries during the spring of 1884 are liere- 

 with submitted in detail ; likewise a descriptive account of the quauti-
