FISH BREEDING. 
As the future of the salmon industry depends upon the 
number of adult fish which reach the spawning grounds each 
year the importance of securing this desideratum is manifest. 
Nature has provided for the work of procreation, and under natural 
conditions there would be no danger of the fish becoming extinct, 
but with the innumerable devices for their capture in Puget Sound 
and other waters leading to the Fraser River such a possibility is 
menacing. Clearly the most effectual means of prevention would 
be the enforcement of restrictive measures which would 
insure the taking “of only that proportion of the run which is in 
excess of the number necessary to the perpetuation of the species.”* 
As already shown, all attempts to regulate the indiscriminate 
taking of salmon on Puget Sound have been unsuccessful, and as 
an offset to the destructive methods of the Washington fishermen 
the Canadian authorities have established several fish hatcheries for 
* Babcock's Report.
