PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, L926 333 



FISH-RESCUE WORK 



The State of Wisconsin has taken renewed interest in the salvage 

 of food fishes along the western border of the Mississippi River, and 

 in the prosecution of work in that field has greatly aided the bureau 

 in covering the extensive territory where fish are stranded in land- 

 locked pools. This State also has aided the bureau in distributing 

 the salvaged fish, transporting them to their destinations in the State 

 distribution car. Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois also have engaged in 

 independent rescue operations in the waters adjoining their bounda- 

 ries. The territory covered by the States and the bureau has been 

 equitably apportioned in order to avoid duplication of effort. Owing 

 to low water stages no salvage work was undertaken during the year 

 on the lower Mississippi River in the vicinity of Friars Point, Miss.
