PRODUCTION 



Inasmuch as the total output of eggs and fish varied but slightly 

 from the figure for the previous year, there was relatively little differ- 

 ence in the comparable production of the individual species. The 

 trend of increase in the production of marine commercial species of 

 New England — cod, haddock, pollock, and lobster — has continued. 



Other commercial species handled in increased numbers were the 

 shad, lake herring, and buffalofish. The output of all species of 

 Pacific salmon was at a lower level, which accounted, in part, for a 

 reduction in the distribution of fish of the fingerling size. There was 

 a slight increase in the distribution of steelhead trout, so popular on 

 the Pacific coast. 



The production of largemouth and smallmouth bass, approaching 

 70 million fish, exceeded all previous records for these species. The 

 aggregate number of trout and trout eggs, which contributed to the 

 development of good angling, was 99 million. Grouping the so-called 

 "panfishes" with the strictly game varieties, there was a total produc- 

 tion of 131)2 million fish of a noncommercial tj^pe. 



While this report emphasizes the number of fish and eggs produced, 

 there has been an unremitting effort to maintain the existing high 

 quality of stock.
