Description:Excerpt from Report of the Commissioners of Fisheries of Maryland: January, 1879 The first Report of the Commissioners of Fisheries, being the record of the work done during the first two years of the existence of the commission, gave an account of the completion and successful working of the hatching house in Druid Hill Park; the introduction into our waters of the California salmon, the land-locked salmon, the Penobscot salmon, and the lake trout; the successful importation of European carp -and tench; the establishment of carp ponds in Druid Hill Park, and also the hatching and distribution of 4,340,000 by the Maryland force and a deposit by the United States Commissioner in the Potomac River amounting to 4, 885, 550 young shad. The second Report, published January, 1877, recorded the distribution of an additional number of fish of the above varieties; an important advance in the facilities for carrying on the work of the commission; the successful use of the steamer Lookout in collecting shad eggs from the several fisheries on the Potomac River and at the head of Chesapeake Bay, and the introduction of the adult spawning smelt into some of the rivers of the State, besides giving in detail the general work of the commission. During this year 4, 62, 000 shad were hatched, of these 2, 724,500 were placed in waters within the State of Maryland; and 1, 897, 500 transferred to other localities. The third report, that of January, 1878, chronicled an important advance in the methods of developing the eggs of shad and other fish independent of locality, by the use of two styles of apparatus. One consists of a series of conical vessels swung in gimbals on board the Lookout. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
