American Fisheries Soctety. 223 
Mr. Clark: No, nothing to amount to anything. 
Mr. Brown: You put more fish in each division ? 
Mr. Clark: More fish would naturally come in each division, 
and the idea of having the two race ways of 200 feet each is that 
you could introduce double the quantity of water for the hundred 
thousand fish, whereas it would not be safe here now, even if 
there was an ample supply, to introduce it when the fish were 
young, because the current would be too strong. 
Mr. Marks: With the amount of fish we have there now, by 
fall it will be crowded—the growth of the fish will crowd it. 
Mr. Titcomb: With the current which you have, do your 
fish dash against the screen ? 
Mr. Marks: This sized fish? 
Mr. Titcomb: Yes. 
Mr. Marks: No, but putting fry in from the trays it will 
drive them against the screens. 
Mr. Atkins: What proportion of those fish do you expect 
to die during the season ? 
Mr. Marks: I do not think we will lose over three or four per 
cent. 
Mr. Atkins: Between now and when ? 

Mr. Marks: Say between now and September—provided 
there is no disease. 
Mr. Atkins: How do you take out the dead ones ? 
Mr. Marks: With ascap. When we clean it down the dead 
ones wash down against the screen and are taken off. 
Mr. Atkins: Do you count or keep a record of the dead ones? 
Mr. Marks: No, sir. 
Mr. Atkins: But you satisfy vourself of the amount of fish 
after you get through.
