214 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 



4. The closing of the immediate vicinity of the smaller natural passes (particu- 

 larly Corpus Christi Pass) to all methods of fishing, since most of the shore fishes 

 utilize these passes during spawning or seasonal migrations. 



5. The adoption of an adequate system of collecting fishery statistics to provide 

 means for learning the trend of abundance of the various species of marine food 

 fishes and to indicate the possible need for modifying existing regulations. 



6. The continuing of biological research along the Texas coast to determine the 

 practicabihty of artificial propagation of the leading food fishes and devising better 

 methods for conserving and utilizing the marine resources of the State.
