Cod and lobsters —The work at the marine hatcheries was espe- 
cially successful, the total output of cod and lobsters being greater 
than ever before. The Norwegian method of obtaining cod eggs was 
tested at Woods Hole with such encouraging results that the Bureau 
is considering the extension of this method to all the marine stations. 
From various parts of the New England coast is received the gratify- 
ing report of an evident increase in the abundance of small lobsters. 
W hitefish—Severe storms which prevailed on Lake Erie during 
the fall interfered somewhat with the collection of eggs of this spe- 
cies and caused the loss of a considerable number of brood fish, but 
on the whole the results were satisfactory. 
Pike perch—The output of pike perch is very gratifying. The 
development of the field at Swanton, Vt., auxiliary to the St. Johns- 
bury station, supplemented the pike-perch work on the Great Lakes, 
and was not a small factor in the success of the season. 
Yellow perch and white perch—The propagation of these two 
fishes is limited in possible extent only by the funds available for the 
work and the number of stations where the equipment is suitable. 
The collections of yellow-perch eggs are steadily increasing and the 
work with this species, as also with the white perch, can profitably 
be extended to other Atlantic rivers. 
Black bass—The demand for large-mouth and small-mouth black 
bass continues to exceed the supply. As stated in previous recom- 
mendations to Congress, there is a great need for additional pond- 
culture stations, especially in the Southern States. There was an 
average output last season.
