The experiments in fertilizing and hatching a liigh percentage of the eggs and ill keeping them free from fungus or bacterial infection were successful. The avoidance of bacterial infection is very important in propagating eggs of shad and striped bass. While no shipments were made East, experiments made in holding the eggs for shipment demon- strated that they can be successfully shipped to eastern hatcheries in shipping cases. Next season it will be possible to furnish Massachusetts and Connecticut with shad eggs for their hatcheries, as well as to hatch a liberal supply for our rivers. The excessive fishing on the lower reaches of the Sacramento River, and in the bays, has greatly depleted the number ot shad, and it is now necessary to hatch in streams of .Mendocino, Sonoma and Lake counties. The distribution of fry from the Fort Seward Hatchery, Humboldt County, was completed August 20th. This was the first season's work at this station and the results are very satisfactory. The water proved to he all that was predicted for it when the station was first built. There was an ample supply of pure cold water during the warmest days, and the fish were unusually healthy and vigorous. One million one hundred and fifty-three thousand fry were distributed this season along the lino of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad from Fort Seward Hatchery. Plans are being made to collect enough salmon eggs from Eel River near Fort Seward Hatchery to furnish that station with salmon eggs this Fig. 72.

Next season a well- equipped shad hatchery should be run on the Sacramento River and the Depart- ment of Fish Cult
