THE OUTPUT AND ITS DISTRIBUTION. 



The fish-cultural work of the Federal Government has now attained a 

 magnitude that can not readily be comprehended, and is increasing at an 

 exceedingly rapid rate. Especially marked has been the increase in the hatchery 

 product during the past ten years, owing in part to the establishment of new 

 stations, in part to the extension of operations at existing stations, and in 

 part to greater efficiency of methods and appliances. The work during the 

 fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, reached larger proportions than ever before, 

 notwithstanding a shrinkage in the operations addressed to several important 

 species. In the following summary by species of the eyed eggs, fry, and fin- 

 gerlings, yearhngs, and adults distributed in the past year it will be noted that 

 several fishes included in the list of species cultivated do not appear in this table, 

 for the reason that the entire stock was retained for breeding purposes. Orna- 

 mental species are Hkewise omitted from the table.
