PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1939 557 
Kentucky, or spotted bass were distributed for the first time, and 
the hatching of mackerel was resumed on a limited scale. 
The hatchery records reveal interesting facts regarding the popu- 
larity of different game species. There appears to be no “All- 
American”’ fish, but the largemouth bass most closely approaches this 
classification. The popularity of the trouts is sectional, with the 
species native to the different regions rated highest in popularity in 
their respective sections. The smallmouth bass is highly popular 
although somewhat restricted in range and has, in the past, presented 
a production problem which is being rapidly overcome. 
The commercial species which have been distributed are those which 
are most amenable to artificial propagation and are not necessarily 
those which are of the highest economic value.
