PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1930 1127 



OUTPUT 



The division has been able to exceed all former records of the 

 distribution of fish and eggs by a total of 500,000,000. It is probable 

 that the feature of greatest popular interest in considering this total, 

 is the fact that over 205,000,000 of the forms distributee! belong to 

 the game species and represent about 2.7 per cent of tlie total, 1.7 

 j)er cent greater than the figures for 1929 and identical with those 

 for 1928. The marine species, including eggs and fry, account for 

 the major portion of the huge total with a percentage of 85.9. Six 

 and nine-tenths per cent comprise species of the interior waters 

 which, in addition to supporting market fisheries, are likewise 

 sought to a considerable extent by sportsmen, particularly in the 

 case of the pike perch, lake or Mackinaw trout, and yellow perch. 

 Commercial anadromous forms comprise 4 per cent of the total. 

 The above ratios are substantially the same as those which have 

 existed during the past few years, indicating that the numerical 

 increases in output are distributed quite equitably among the vari- 

 ous fields of activity. After a drop during the previous year, the 

 fingerling production was again raised to a point above 250,000,000. 

 This is sufficient to include virtually all the game fishes and large 

 numbers of other forms, particularly the Pacific salmons, which are 

 amenable to artificial feeding and rearing in nursery or hatchery 

 ponds.
