The Poison hatchery has assumed great importance dur- ing the review of the fish cul- tural facilities in Montana. It is at this station that the major portion of kokanee for distribu- tion in Montana has been prop- agated. The cold water at Poison retards the incubation period and also retards the fry development after hatching. This condition prolongs the time that kokanee fry swim-up and are ready for feeding and planting. Results of kokanee plantings following this practice have been successful and therefore it is neces- sary to consider Poison as an important unit in the fishery program of Montana. If warmer water were used, the kokanee would be ready to plant before the ice cover left many of the lakes. Poison fish production cannot be evaluated on a basis of cost per pound of fish produced and thereby be compared with similar production costs of catchable-size fish at productive warm water trout stations. Poison does not produce catchable-size fish for put- and-take stocking as do the warm water trout stations. It produces "seed" fish at a time of year when they are needed for stocking.
