REPORTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE. 



fry, mostly lake trout, whitefish, cisco, and pike perch on the Great 

 Lakes; shad, salmon, yellow perch, and striped bass on the coastal 

 rivers; carp and buffalofish in the interior waters; and cod, haddock, 

 pollock, and flounder on the Atlantic seaboard. The output of 

 fingerlings, yearlings, and adults was upward of 151,000,000, with 

 catfish, carp, chinook salmon, sockeye salmon, brook trout, rainbow 

 trout, and crappies predominating. Although the distribution of 

 fish in the fingerling stage decreased about 10 per cent from 1918, 

 this falling off was practically confined to one species and indicates 

 no slackening of effort. On the contrary, facilities for fingerling 

 production are being increased, particularly as regards the salmons 

 of the Pacific coast. 



Comparing the general distribution of 1919 and 1918, it may be 

 noted that there was an increase in cisco, rainbow trout, Atlantic 

 salmon, landlocked salmon, buffalofish, carp, shad, pike perch, yellow 

 perch, crappies, pollock, and haddock, and there was a decrease in 

 whitefish, chinook salmon, steelhead salmon, and lake trout.
