8. To maintain the breeding stock of fishes for the hatcheries 

 and even to insure the existence of some species, it has already 

 become imperative that fish preserves, Hke game sanctuaries, should 

 be established at critical localities, as both State and Federal 

 preserves. 



9. Similarly, to conserve the breeding stock, the investigation of 

 post-hatchery problems of fish culture must be enlarged and per- 

 fected, and be based on adequate held sun-eys. 



10. To supplement proper planting a campaign of education 

 among all organizations and individuals who plant fish will be neces- 

 sary to prevent waste, or the gains made by improved methods will 

 be diminished. 



11. The problems demanding investigation are too complex and 

 difficult to expect immediate solution all along the line. A sufhcient 

 technical stait should be available to permit part of it to be devoted 

 to the continuous survey of the waters, and to problems involving 

 more immediate attention, and the remainder of the staff to be 

 devoted to other important problems, which require much more time 

 for solution. 



12. The public should be made fully aware of the magnitude of 

 the difficulties involved in an investigative program for fish, so 

 that they will come to realize that to maintain this resource there 

 must be a continuous, permanent program, one which can never be 

 completed so long as the resource lasts, and so long as conditions 

 change which influence the fish. Investigations must be as constant 

 as taxes. 



13. From the standpoint of the general public, the public waters 

 seem destined to soon become the last, and almost only accessible 

 angling and fishing waters. The most accessible of these will be in 

 the State forests and State parks, on the non-agricultural lands of 

 the State. For this reason the systems or policies of management 

 will be, in the main, those governing forest lands, and they should 

 be so organized that there will be harmonious, consistent manage- 

 ment for forests, fish and game, such as can best be established 

 under a unified conservation commission.
