FISH CULTURE 



During the past two years the Yuba River Hatchery and the Snow 

 Creek Hatchery have been completed, and rearing ponds have been 

 constructed on the San Gabriel River and on Snow Creek. The rear- 

 ing ponds are of particular interest, as they are being used as a basis 

 of study to determine the cost and the effectiveness of rearing fish to 

 a catchable size before planting.
