ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN BRIEF. 



Both a land and a sea patrol maintained as a means of limiting 

 violations and conserving fish and game resources. 



Over 2700 arrests for violations of the fish and game laws made. 



More than fifty-six and one-half million trout and nearly thirty-five 

 and one-half million salmon reared in state hatcheries and planted in 

 the streams of the state. 



A new stock of eastern brook trout obtained from the east for the 

 state's hatcheries and thousands of the resultant fry planted in 

 lakes and streams. 



Two shipments of Mackinaw trout (the largest trout in North 

 America) eggs secured and hatched successfully and the resultant fry 

 planted in Clear and Eagle lakes. 



Supply of cutthroat trout secured from the Rocky Mountain region 

 for planting in north coast streams. 



Policy of building small hatcheries to supply local streams, thus 

 eliminating long hauls, continued. 



The pond system at the Mount Shasta Hatchery developed so that 

 the brood fish now furnish 10,000,000 eggs annually. 



Numerous surveys made preliminary to the erection of fishways 

 over dams to allow fish to reach their spawning grounds. 



Inspection of 253 screens in irrigation ditches and surveys looking

Many cases of pollution by sawdust and oil remedied. 



The most dependable statistics as to the monthly and annual take 

 of fishery products taken anywhere in the world regularly compiled. 



State Fisheries Laboratory maintained with staff engaged in fishery 

 research. Foretelling the catch of fish and means of discovering 

 depletion are being made possible through these investigations. 



A thorough investigation of the effect of the purse seine fisheries 

 made and recommendations offered. 



Possibility of foretelling catch of sardines proved by a scientific 

 investigation. 



Marking experiments on salmon have proved the parent stream 

 theory and valuable data as to the age and rate of growth have been 

 obtained. 



Control of the worst enemy of the deer, the mountain lion, 

 continued. 



Special patrol and permanent boundary signs given game refuges. 



Lectures, talks in schools, newspaper items, magazine articles and 

 educational work in summer resorts featured the educational and

Quarterly publication acquainting people with the activities and 

 accomplishments of the Commission regularly issued. 



Saving of migratory fish in Klamath River by creating a fish 

 reserve and blocking the move to erect a 250-foot dam near the

 on the ballot for decision by the people promptly secured. 



Refilling of Lower Klamath Lake to restore breeding grounds for 

 waterfowl advocated. 



Drainage of Lake Earl in Del Norte County opposed on 

 conservation grounds. 



Many deer saved from death in a large power ditch on the
