THE UGIE 1:33 



A salmon hatchery exists some little distance up the river, which 

 annually treats from 80,000 to 150,000 ova. The old cruives of the 

 river are not now fished for commercial purposes, but are maintained 

 in order that fish may be conveniently secured for ova stripping. 

 The water of the Ugie is practically free from all pollution, but in 

 times of flood it becomes much discoloured. A supply of water 

 for the hatchery from a separate source was, therefore, recently 

 arranged for. An unexpected mortality at first resulted, caused 

 apparently from solutions passing off from new cement work.
