The fish-ermen rendered us great assistance and were pleased with the the close of the lobster hatching the Sea Bass began to eggs can be hatched in floating boxes, but owing to the roughwater, the eggs being semi-buoyant, it is impossible to hold have been requested to stock the harbors on the north sidewith Blue Crabs. In early fall they are carrying their eggs and. Forest, Fish and Game Commission 153 can then be collected and planted where r: eded. We also planted alot of adult crabs which would spawn later in the season. The totaloutput of eggs and fish from this station numbers about threehundred and sixty millions. Our output of marine fishes could be greatly increased. Duringthe past season our salt water hatchery has been equipped with gasengines which take the place of the hot-air pump, that being en-tirely worn out. We have also placed gas engines in our pumphouse near the main hatchery, the steam boiler being improvements have been made on the grounds. Our icehouse needs repairing, and wre need a reservoir for our salt wateror marine work. Some changes could be made in the hatchingroom, giving us more space for our hatching jars and increasingour work in that line.
