 ACCLIMATIZING PACIFIC SALMON IN OTHER WATERS. 



For many years efforts have been made by the United States 

 Bureau of Fisheries and various State, fish commissions to introduce 

 Pacific coast salmon in eastern waters. In the early history of fish 

 culture chinook fry were planted in almost every imaginable stream 

 along the Atlantic seaboard, in various streams in the Mississippi 

 Valley, and also in tributaries of the Great Lakes. In most cases, 

 owing to the unsuitability of the water, the experiment was doomed 

 to failure from the start. In the case of a few streams where results 

 might have been obtained, the plantings were at long intervals and 

 the fish were too small to protect themselves, while no effort was 

 made by the State authorities to protect them. 



The most successful results with plants of chinook salmon have 

 been obtained in Lake Sunapee, N. H., where it is now a not uncom- 

 mon thing for anglers to catch chinook with rod and reel.
