lion fish and 2.7 million lb (1.2 million kg). In 1976, fall 

 chinook salmon were the most numerous with 35 million 

 released, followed by coho salmon, steelhead trout, and 

 chum salmon. By weight, coho salmon were dominant 

 with 1.3 million lb (0.59 million kg) stocked, followed 

 in order by fall chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and 

 spring chinook salmon. No summer chinook salmon are 

 reared in this region. 



As noted in Table 7, the two State fisheries agencies 

 use Dingell-Johnson Act and Anadromous Fish Act 

 monies to partially fund some of their hatchery programs. 

 Dingell-Johnson monies come from a Federal tax on rec- 

 reational fishing gear and are divided among the States 

 based on the number of fishing licenses sold. It is ad- 

 ministered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

 (USFWS). 



The Anadromous Fish Act (Public Law 89-304) is 

 administered jointly by the USFWS and the National 

 Marine Fisheries Service. Under this Act, cooperative 

 agreements with States are made and other non-Federal 

 interests for the conservation, development, and en- 

 hancement of, among others, the anadromous fishery 

 resources of the Nation. Federal matching funds of up to 

 50% may be used to finance project costs if one state is
