22 DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND FISHERIES No. 9 



The Department is endeavouring to maintain and to build up the maskinonge 

 supply in a variety of ways, which may be summed up in a more or less concise 

 manner as follows: 



1. Restricted bag limit and restricted number of days' fishing. 



2. Protection of the normal population in sanctuary areas, taking in waters 

 adjacent and outside these areas only the natural increase from them. An ex- 

 planation of the purposes of these sanctuaries was given in detail in the 

 previous year's report. 



3. The planting of fry in suitable areas. 



4. Further studies regarding the possibilities of rearing fry to the fingerling 

 stage.
