The silver salmon (Oncor- hynchus kisutch) has become an important fish in the manage- ment of certain Montana lakes. The eggs have been obtained from west coastal states, how- ever, hydroelectric and other water developments in the Columbia River system have so lowered the supply of silver salmon that there is doubt whether Montana can continue to obtain eggs from these sources. Prior to this biennium, silver salmon eggs have been obtained from fish in Georgetown Lake and hatched at the Anaconda station. Fish reared from these eggs have been held at this station and during this biennium eggs were obtained from the resulting mature fish. This is the first time on record that silver salmon eggs have been obtained from brood stock which have spent their entire life cycle in fresh water. The Anaconda station is of great importance to the hatchery system in the State, since it is used for collection and distribution of rainbow and cutthroat eggs for a large portion of the other hatcheries in the state. The Georgetown Lake and Willow Creek reservoir spawning stations are operated from Anaconda. In addition to the wild eggs taken, the domestic brood stock of early spawning rainbow is maintained at this station. All necessary maintenance was carried on at the Anaconda station. ^ FISH PLANTED FROM ANACONDA HATCHERY May 1, 1952 to April 30, 1953 May I, 1953 to April 30, 1954 Speciesâ Number Size Weight Speciesâ Number Size Weight Rainbow 32,120 4 960 Rainbow 24,164 4 540 37,640 5 1,940 64,274 5 3,300 43,368 6 3,680 19,996 6 1,700 11,596 61/2 1,240 9,082 * 1,410 10,514 7 980 10,186 * * 3,430 5,600 8 1,120 Cutthroat 24,960 â :â 6 156 * * 290 16,320 1 12 Cutthroat 277,388 1 23,898 4 854 59,131 4 1,290 27,800 5 1,120 Eastern Brook 640 2!/2 4 Eastern Brook 1,728 2 6 Brown 69,600 1 50 7,600 3 100 Silver Salm
