the purpose of perpetuating the fish by artificial means. The first 
of these was built at Bon Accord, on the Fraser River, in 1884, and 
since that year nine more have been installed at points favourable 
to the collection and distribution of the ova and fry of salmon and 
other fish. The Dominion Government hatcheries are :— 
Fraser River Hatchery, Bon Accord. 
Skeena River re Lakelse Lake. 
Granite Creek - Kault. 
Harrison Lake 6 Harrison Hot Springs.

Seton Lake Hatchery, Lillooet, established by the Provincial 
Government in 1903. 
Nimpkish Hatchery, Nimpkish, Vancouver Island, operated by 
the British Columbia Packers’ Association. 
The Dominion Fisheries Commission recommends the estab- 
lishment of hatcheries on the Cowichan River, on Quesnel Lake 
the Nechaco River, the Naas River, at or near Alberni, and one on 
Okanagan, Arrow or Kootenay Lake. The Commission also 
recommends a hatchery for game fish on the Columbia River or in 
Banff National Park. Barkley Sound, Great Central or Sproat 
Lake, and Kennedy Lake are also suggested as favourable locations 
for hatcheries. 
The following tables give the output of the hatcheries for 1908:
