FISHING INDUSTRY OF THE GREAT LAKES 617 



division of authority over the fisheries among several States impedes 

 the enactment and comphcates the administration of any legislative 

 provisions, and it is therefore m-gently recommended that some 

 definite afid responsible organization, international in character, be 

 provided through which a coordinated control of the fisheries may 

 be secured. 



2. The closed season to protect spawning fish should be restored 

 wherever practicable, and no spawn should be collected if investiga- 

 tions and experiments fail to estabhsh the desirabihty and effective- 

 ness of propagation. 



3. Investigations to determine the life histories of the important 

 species abeady begun should be continued, and statistics reflecting 

 the condition of the fisheries should be collected from year to year to 

 supplement these studies. Only by means of such statistics, inter- 

 preted in the light of life-history facts, can the fishing industry beu 

 intelligently controlled.
