With larger loads of fish being hauled and greater distances involved in distribution, improvements also have been made to the large fish planting equipment. The newest fish planting trucks, capable of hauling 2,000 pounds, are equipped with electric refrigeration. Elimination of the use of ice increases the over-all load capacity of the truck and eliminates time lost on the road for re-icing. The transferring of large numbers of catchable sized trout from distant hatcheries to areas without hatcheries has been facilitated by the construction of temporary fish planting bases. Here, the fish are placed in large holding tanks, and are later reloaded into smaller trucks for planting into streams and lakes. The tanks used at these bases were designed by the depart- ment's engineering section, and consist of a half-round, aluminized steel flume with end plates, screens, and w ater intake and outlet facilities. FISH PLANTING BASES The construction of the following fish planting bases w as completed during the biennium: AincriCiVi River Base—On the South Fork American River near Kyburz in El Dorado County, three tanks. Capacity: 45,000 catchable trout. Greenhorn Base—On Greenhorn Creek near Quincy in Plumas County, seven tanks. Capacity: 45,000 catch- ables and 50,000 fingerlings. Bear River Base—On Bear River near Emigrant Gap in Placer County, two tanks. Capacity: 39,000 catchables. Fiddle Creek Base-On Fiddle Creek near Downie- ville in Sierra County, one tank. Capacity: 15,000 catchables. San Lorenzo Base—On tributary to San Lorenzo River in Santa Cruz County, one tank. Capacity: 15,000 catchables.
