AMKRICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY. 



to hatch codfish, because of the condition of our hatchery, in 

 which we could not keep the salt water pipes from freezing; but 

 if we get a new building, as we expect, we will no doubt be able 

 to proceed with the hatching of the cod, as has been done at 

 Wood's Holl. Last winter, when every salt water pipe frcjze, 

 we had a portion of our tomcod eggs in jars, and as salt water 

 was not available we tried fresh water; and after hatching tiiem 

 in fresh water, we kept a large number in fresh water until they 

 were ready to take food. No doubt this little fish could be 

 acclimatized in the Great Lakes, and if not valued for food, 

 would be desirable as food for the other fishes; but on Lcjiig 

 Island the tomcod is regarded as a very desirable fish, and they 

 are taken from all sizes up to perhaps i}i lbs., which is the 

 largest I have ever seen. They resemble the common cod in 

 having three dorsal and two anal fins.
