different fisheries managers disclosed that, to obtain the highest re- 

 turn of sportsmen's money, every effort should be made to produce 

 and use for stocking, healthy conditioned fish. 



During the biennium, a disease and nutrition project was insti- 

 tuted and the biologist detailed to this project was sent to the Uni- 

 versity of Washington for two months by the Fish and Game Com- 

 mission to obtain a library on research work pertaining to these two 

 problems. After returning to Montana the biologist has worked with 

 several hatcheries, but particularly the Arlee hatchery, to diagnose 

 disease problem^ and to prescribe control measures that will enable 

 the hatchery installations to carry on in their districts the raising and 

 distribution of fishes. 



Problems continually arising in the feeding of fishes and in the 

 diets and nutritional problems will be worked out as the need arises 

 in each particular installation.
