REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF FISHERIES. 5 
963,123,354; fry, 994,503,040; fingerlings, yearlings, and adults, 
9,716,631. The eggs shown were for the most part donated to vari- 
ous states to be incubated in their own hatcheries, the resulting fry 
being planted under the direction of the state fishery authorities. 
The number of fish and eggs of each of three species distributed 
exceeded 200,000,000; the output of each of two others was over 
100,000,000, and of six others upward of 20,000,000. 
It is worthy of remark that while the Bureau makes ample provision 
for maintaining the supply of fishes caught chiefly by anglers, nearly 
99 per cent of the fish handled are those which are the objects of 
commercial fisheries.

DISTRIBUTIONS IN THE DIFFERENT STATES. 
The fish-cultural operations of the Bureau affect every state and ter- 
ritory, as the following condensed table shows. Of the 1,264;408,025 
fish and eges distributed in the United States, Massachusetts receiyed 
the largest assignment, 363,854,407, owing to the concentration of 
marine fishery work in that state; 202,166,318 were distributed in Ohio 
and 169,544,407 in Michigan waters; Pennsylvania received 81,687,230, 
Maine, 67,232,963, California, 66,807,484, and other states and terri- 
tories according to their needs and the capacity of the hatcheries.
