PLANTING FISHES IN THE OCEAN 



The Marine Fish Culture Work of the United States 

 Government 



By George M. Bowers 

 Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries 



THERE are very few countries 

 that engage in the cultivation 

 of marine fishes and crusta- 

 ceans, and none that conducts the work 

 on nearly so extensive a scale as does the 

 United States. The only other country 

 that deserves mention in this respect is 

 Norway, which undertook the pioneer 

 operations in marine fish culture, and has 

 continued the cultivation of one species 



of fish at one hatchery up to the present 

 time. Oysters and other mollusks are 

 extensively cultivated in France, Eng- 

 land, Japan, and other countries, as well 

 as the United States, but only as a pri- 

 vate enterprise.

 given to artificial propagation of marine 

 fishes and other free-swimming creatures 

 in Europe and all the other continents
