PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1940 567 
rocated by filling Federal fish applications for waters in the vicinity 
of their hatcheries. 
It will be noted that the Bureau hatched and 
turned over to the Maine lobster-rearing station 7,172,000 lobster 
fry, in comparison with 46,450 lobster fry handled in 1939. 
The policy illustrated by this activity is the most concrete evidence 
of the fruition of the program of coordinating State and Federal fish 
production and distribution. 
The totals listed in the following table 
are included within the gross output of the Federal hatcheries and 
are therefore not to be considered as a separate category within the 
general summaries.
