METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION 



In its distribution of fish, the bureau first considers the waters 

 from which the e^rgs were obtained. After such waters have been 

 properly stocked, fish are shipped to other suitable public and pri- 

 vate waters. It is the aim of the bureau to apportion the output of 

 its hatcheries so as to obtain the best results, orivinp: special attention 

 to depleted and nearly depleted waters in which it is apparent the 

 fish would find suitable conditions for reproduction. Anyone desir- 

 ing: fish should communicate with his representative in Congress or 

 write to the Bureau of Fisheries. The name of the water in which 

 the fish are to be planted should be stated. Upon receipt of a request 

 for fish, the bureau mails the applicant a blank on which the request 

 may be made in a formal manner. These blanks call for a descrip- 

 tion of the waters to be stocked, and from the information fur- 

 nished by the applicant the bureau can determine what species seems 

 likely to produce the best results. 



Applicants are notified immediately upon the receipt of their ap- 

 plications concerning the species that will be sent them and the 

 approximate time the delivery will be made. They are also sent 

 instructions for receiving and caring for the fish. Prior to the date 

 of shipment a second notice is given, usually by telegram, stating the 

 exact time the consignment will arrive at the railroad station indi- 

 cated on the application. Deliveries of fish are made at the railroad 

 stations of applicants without expense to them. However, appli- 

 cants are required to meet the train with receptacles for receiving
