REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF FISHERIES. 



refers to the proper state officers for approval or rejection most appli- 

 cations for fish that are not native to the respective states. The neces- 

 sity for this course has arisen from the receipt of numerous requests 

 for predaceous or destructive fishes for the stocking of waters in which 

 weaker species exist. An instance of this is the effort of residents of 

 the Pacific States to introduce black bass into trout streams and lakes, 

 or into waters tributary to salmon streams. 



The Bureau has allotted to the state fish commissions the usual large 

 number of eggs, which are hatched under state auspices and the 

 resulting fry deposited in state or public waters. The donations of 

 eggs and tish in 1905, as shown in the following table, aggregated over 

 400,000,000 and reached twenty-one states.
