 ing funds can total 66 2/3%. 3 



State and Federal anadromous salmonid rearing pro- 

 grams in this region are augmented by: 1) State and pri- 

 vate cooperative efforts, 2) commercial enterprises, 3) 

 regulated Indian tribe rearing programs, and 4) unregu- 

 lated Indian tribe rearing programs. 



The WDF cooperates with sport and school groups in 

 salmon rearing programs. The agency supplies surplus 

 fry for rearing in saltwater net pens or ponds. The coop-

erating groups supply equipment, fish food, and labor 

 needed to rear the fish to migrant size. Releases are made 

 directly from the pens or ponds. Facilities operated in 

 this manner include Northwest Steelheader (various 

 Puget Sound areas), Gorst Creek, Percival, Salt Creek, 

 Whidby Island, and Westport boat basin. 



Two commercial fish rearing companies, Domsea 

 Farms and Bay Center Mariculture, have released salm- 

 on in this region. Normally these companies buy surplus 

 eggs from State hatcheries, rear the fish to smolt size in 

 freshwater, and then transfer the fish to saltwater net 

 pens for final rearing to market size. Although emphasis 

 is placed on commercial production, cooperative experi- 

 mental releases have been made. Under Washington law,
