State, Federal, and local government agencies and pri- 

 vate enterprises rushed to build hatcheries. Though 

 many of these early efforts ended in failure for various 

 reasons, there were 72 hatcheries and rearing ponds on 

 the coast in 1929. The total releases from all early hatch- 

 eries through 1928 were in excess of 12 billion fry and 1 

 billion fingerlings and yearlings (Cobb 1931). 



Between 1929 and the early 1940's, there was a decline 

 in the number of active hatcheries due in part to the De- 

 pression and World War II. All but 3 of the 18 U.S. 



Bureau of Fisheries (now U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv- 

 ice) hatcheries were closed, replaced, or turned over for 

 State operation. The Alaskan, Canadian, and California 

 facilities in production in 1929 were also closed, or in a 

 few cases, converted to trout culture. Only the State 

 hatcheries of Washington and Oregon did not decline 

 significantly in number. Many of those built in these two 

 States prior to 1929 are currently in production. Addi- 

 tionally, new facilities built in the Washington coastal 

 region in the 1930's are still in operation today.
