Propagation of Commercial Fishes. 
The more important commercial fishes propagated by the bureau 
are the salmons of the Pacific coast, the whitefish, cisco (lake her- 
ring), lake trout, pike perch, and yellow perch of the Great Lakes, 
the yellow perch of the Potomac, the carp in the Portage River sec- 
tion of Ohio, the marine species—including the cod, haddock, pol- 
lock, winter ‘and pole flounders—the buffalofish in Louisiana, and 
the anadromous fishes of the Atlantic coast—the shad, glut herring, 
alewife, striped bass, and Atlantic salmon. A discussion of the 
propagation of these fishes at the various stations during the fiscal 
year 1921 follows. Data concerning the spawning seasons for the 
species at the different stations are assembled in the table on page 72, 
and the amount and cost of fish food used at the Pacific salmon sta- 
tions are given in the table on page 75. 
PACIFIC SALMON CULTURE. 
With the recent increase in the cost of all labor and materials 
the bureau has found it impossible to maintain the former magni- 
tude of its Pacific salmon operations or to keep pace with the work 
done along that’ line by the various State commissions. The Yes 
Bay (Alaska) station was temporarily closed in order that its 
allotment of funds might be used to rebuild the water-supply lne 
and make repairs to the hatchery and its equipment, such action 
being essential to prevent complete deterioration of valuable Govern- 
ment property. In the following pages is given a brief review of 
the work of the hatcheries on the Pacific coast. 
AFOGNAK'(ALASKA) STATION. 
[EDWIN WENTWORTH, Superintendent. ] 
There was another excellent run of sockeye salmon in Letnik Lake. 
and during the active spawning season, extending from July 31 to 
September 24, 62,300,000 eggs were laid down in the hatchery. This
