REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF FISHERIES. 



31 



HATCHERIES OPERATED. 



There has been no addition to the list of regular hatcheries operated. 

 A hatchery provided by the National Park Service of the Department 

 of the Interior was constructed under the supervision of the Bureau 

 in Glacier National Park and is being maintained as an auxiliary of 

 the Bozeman (Mont.) station. Its special function is to maintain 

 and increase the supplies of fish in the various waters of the park. 

 The construction of the hatchery in Rhode Island has been further 

 delayed by the inadequacy of the available appropriation, and 

 Congress will have to provide a substantial addition to the original 

 sum in order that the hatchery and other necessary structures may 

 be completed. The shad hatchery in Maryland near the mouth of 

 the Susquehanna River, whose operations were suspended by order 

 of the Secretary because of failure of the State to conform with the 

 requirements imposed by Congress, has remained closed, and its 

 equipment has been largely transferred to other stations. 



The hatchery work as carried on at the 70 main and auxiliary sta- 

 tions in 1919 was located in 33 States and Alaska. The following list, 

 arranged in alphabetical order by States, shows the fish-cultural 

 stations and auxiliaries in operation during 1919, with the fishes 

 handled at each. Mere egg-collecting stations are not included.
