342 Third Annual Report of the 



Common Lake Herring, Leucichthys artedi 

 The common lake herring of Lake Erie. It ranges also to Lake 

 St. Clair and Lake Huron, and has been planted in Lake Ontario 

 from Lake Erie. 



Jumbo LIerring, Leucichthys eriensis 

 Found in Lake Erie and northward. As a food fish it is far 

 superior to the other lake herrings, and is as good as the best White- 

 fish. 



Ontario Longjaw, Leucichthys prognathus 



Deep waters of Lake Ontario, in depths of 60 fathoms and 

 more. Sometimes called bloater. 



Tullibee, Leucichthys tullibee 



This is known to the fishermen as " Oneida Lake whitefish." It 

 was formerly abundant in Onondaga Lake, where it is now ab- 

 sent or rare; but abundant in Oneida Lake. Highly prized as 

 a food fish. The Oneida Hatchery force collected upwards of 

 60,000,000 of Tullibee eggs last fall. As a fresh fish or salted 

 or smoked, it is one of the best food fishes in the lake. 



Labrador Whitefish, Coregonus clupeaformis 

 Known also as Lake Superior whitefish; Manitoba whitefish; 

 Musquaw River whitefish; whiting of Lake Winnepesaukee and 

 shad of Lake Champlain. The Otsego whitefish, locally known 

 as Otsego bass in Otsego Lake, is believed to be identical with this 

 species. This is the common whitefish of all the Great Lakes, 

 Lake Erie excepted. It is also found in many of the smaller lakes 

 of New York. This is one of the most valuable of all of our food 

 fishes. 



The Commission has obtained more than 13,000,000 eggs of this 

 fish from its Adirondack Hatcheries. 



Lake Erie Whitefish, .Coregonus albus 

 Found in Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair ; introduced into other 

 lakes. This species is not so good as the Labrador whitefish ; but 

 it is a very important food fish. It is not known to take the hook
