  "Up 
  to 
  1878 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  Commission 
  was 
  confined 
  

   wholly 
  to 
  fresh-water 
  and 
  anadromous 
  species. 
  In 
  this 
  

   year, 
  however, 
  a 
  station 
  was 
  established 
  at 
  Gloucester, 
  

   Mass., 
  for 
  the 
  propagation 
  of 
  marine 
  species 
  ; 
  and 
  cod, 
  

   herring, 
  and 
  haddock 
  were 
  successfully 
  hatched. 
  In 
  1880 
  

   successful 
  experiments 
  were 
  made 
  with 
  several 
  food-fishes 
  

   from 
  our 
  southern 
  seaboard.
