There has also In-en an exceUent showing made from the 

 phmtings of pike perch fry in this vicinity. Last fall two hun- 

 dred pounds were hrought in at one time by a licensed fisher- 

 man, and several fine specimens have been captured with hook 

 and line during the past summer, one of which weighed six and 

 one-half pounds. 



It is gTatifying to note that the value of the work of the bur- 

 eau is fully conceded and appreciated by the fishermen and deal- 

 ers. They are thoroughly in accord with the aims and objects 

 of the commission, and in some instances are taking measures 

 to regulate the size of the mesh of their nets. It is hoped that all 

 may be induced to do so, and thus prevent the catching of un- 

 dersized fisli. and the marketing of the same.
