694 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
the intervention of outside agencies. When such a situation pre- 
vails, as was the case during the fiscal year 1927, the funds of the 
division of fish culture may be applied to actual propagation work 
without detriment to the actual conservation of fish life in the 
Mississippi. The State of Wisconsin has continued to operate in 
some of the most prolific breeding areas, and to avoid duplication of 
effort the bureau has withdrawn from such territory. 
The diversion of fish away from the parental waters was negligible. 
Less than 1 per cent of the fish rescued were shipped to fill applica- 
tions, although the demand for fish in carload lots is insistent. It 
is the intention to make the work on the Mississippi River rescue 
work in the truest sense of the word, admitting no possibility of 
depletion by excessive withdrawal of fish from their sources of origin. 
Appended are tables showing the disposition of fish according to 
species and a summary by stations. More detailed tabulation ap- 
pears in the statistics of output of the individual stations.
