PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES 669 



Output of the salmon hatcheries owned by the State of Washington ' 



1 As the printed reports of the State before 1913 in many instances report as the output the number of 

 eggs gathered, it has been necessary in such cases to make an arbitrary reduction from these figures, in 

 order to allow for the loss in the egg stage. In addition to figures in table, in 1916, 13,424,362; in 1918, 

 6,745,823; and in 1919, 12,351,780 dwarf sockeyes were hatched and planted in waters of the State. 



2 A considerable proportion of the fry was fed in rearing ponds for some time before planting. 



3 29,900 eggs were distributed in addition.
