FISH AND GAME COMMISSION 



We wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation of this 

 assistance, and to the Southern Pacific, the Western Pacific, the Santa 

 Fe, Northwestern Pacific, the Sacramento Northern, and other trans- 

 portation companies which have so generously transported, without 

 cost, tish cars, fish cans, and the hatchery personnel necessary for the 

 distribution of the product of our hatcheries. This very material 

 assistance makes possible other work which could not otherwise be 

 undertaken.

FISH CULTURE 



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

 Creek Hatchery have been completed, and rearing ponds have been 

 con.structed on the San Gabriel Eiver 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.
