NINTH REPORT OF THE 



great interest taken in this inexpensive display of the work done at the hatcheries 

 was apparent to every visitor, and the exhibit received many favorable comments. 

 The fish, with the exception of the Albino Trout, were turned over as usual to 

 the Anglers' Association of Onondaga County for distribution in near-by waters. 



Acknowledgment is made of the receipt of 1,830,896 Lake Trout eggs from 

 the United States Fisheries Commission, which were forwarded to the Caledonia 

 Hatchery on November 9, 1902. 



The Commission has abandoned the Sacandaga Hatchery for the reasons given 

 in last year's report. This hatchery was located twenty-two miles from the rail- 

 road station and could only be reached over a rough mountain road. Experience 

 showed that it could not be successfully operated, and improvements made at the 

 Adirondack Hatchery, which is easily accessible, will make it possible for this 

 hatchery to do all the work. 



Following are tables showing in detail the distribution for the year and the 

 work done by each hatchery :
