REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND FISHERIES. 13 



There are along our coast arms of the sea or partially enclosed 

 waters, that furnish exevy natural condition required for some or 

 other of our fishes. Could entire control be secured of some of 

 them, we believe the results would justify any cost that would be 

 necessary to test them by a fair trial. 



We trust that the Fish Commissioners of the Atlantic States and 

 the United States will give this matter an investigation and report 

 as to to its practicability.
