Special efforts were directed, as heretofore, to the cultivation of 

 the salmons of the Pacific coast, the commercial fishes of the Great 

 Lakes region, and the anadromous and marine species of the Atlantic 

 seaboard, though the fishes of the mterior, comprising various species 

 of trouts, basses, crappies, and sunfishes, also received much attention. 



Among the species propagated in larger numbers tlian in 1911 were 

 flatfish, cod, pollock, haddock, shad, chinook salmon, silver salmon, 

 humpback salmon, steelhead trout, rainbow trout, Sunapee trout, 

 black-spotted trout, yellow perch, striped bass, white perch, smelt, 

 and lobster. Species which, owing to unfavorable conditions for 

 taking eggs, were produced in smaller numbers than in 1911, were 

 whitefish, blueback salmon, Atlantic salmon, landlocked salmon, 

 brook trout, small-mouth black bass, and pike perch. 



Notwithstanding the scope and magnitude of the operations as at 

 present conducted, there is a practically exhaustless field in unoccu- 

 pied territory were fish culture can be profitably inaugurated on as
