SALMON CULTURE.* 
The artificial culture of salmon on the Pacific coast has developed 
into a large and constantly expanding industry. 
Bureau ar 
hatcheries, while the 
The United States 
Fisheries Epes a number of ve and well-equipped 
tate governments of California, Oregon, and 
Washington, the Dominion of Canada and the Province of British 
Columbia, and certain private companies have built and maintain 
a large number of hatcheries, some of these being among the largest 
in the world. 
OBTAINING THE SPAWNING FISH. 
The eggs used for artifical propagation are obtained from salmon 
taken on their way upstream to the natural spawning grounds. In 
order to arrest the ascent of the fish a rack is usually built across 
the stream. Where this is not feasible a trap is sometimes con- 
structed for the purpose of catching the fish. Ee dmetiiies the racks 
have slat traps attached in which some fish are caught.

ficial Propa ation of the Salmons of the Pacific Coast,’ revised and enlarged by Henry O’Malley.
