DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD-FISHES. 
The results obtained by stocking public waters with species of fish 
which are indigenous to them have been difficult of exact determina- 
tion; that good has followed is shown by the continued increase in the 
value of the fisheries, demonstrated by carefully collected statistics. 
In those waters where species not indigenous were placed it is clearly 
shown what is possible of accomplishment. For information relative 
to the acclimation of the shad and striped bass on the Pacific Coast 
reference is made to page 175 of this report. Many of the streams and 
lakes of the Yellowstone National Park, formerly barren of food-fish, 
are also now furnishing an abundance of trout and whitefish, the 
result of plantings of former years. 
The following table summarizes the work of distribution of various 
species of food-fishes during the two years covered by this report. 
The large increase over former years in the number of adult and year- 
ling fishes distributed is the result of systematic efforts in rearing. 
This feature will continue to receive attention, it being applicable to 
fresh-water, marine, and anadromous species. The advantage of stock- 
ing waters with fish of a size large enough to protect themselves or 
to escape from their enemies will be very readily appreciated. The 
details of distribution will be found in Tables A and B, pages 75 to 96 
of this report.
