REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF FISHERIES. 



33 



of a Senator or Representative in Congress. It has been possible 

 to take favorable action on practicallv all of these applications, the 

 only exception being in the case of the smallmouth black bass, 

 the domand for which is far in excess of the output of the few hatch- 

 eries at which this species can be successfully produced. 



RELATIONS WITH THE STATES IN FISH CULTURE. 



Practical cooperation with the States has continued to prevail 

 throughout ihe country. In several ^States egg-collecting stations 

 have been operated jointly, the eggs taken beincr developed in the 

 hatcheries most conveniently located or from which distribution of 

 the resulting fry could be most advantageously accomplished. 



Large numbers of eggs and limited numbers of young fish have been 

 donated to the wState fish commissions. This cooperation was ex- 

 tended to 29 States and covered upward of 670,000,000 eggs and 

 over a million young fish, as shown in the following table. On the 

 other hand, various States have made similar donations to the Bureau.
