(Fish and Game Photo) Near the close of the biennium a fisheries field operating station, including warmwater fish holding ponds, was completed at the Los Serranos Game Farm, Chino, by use of funds provided by the Wildlife Con- servation Board. This will facilitate the warmwater fish salvage and distribution program and permit greater emphasis to be placed on this important function in the southern part of the State. Fish Rescue Work Salmon and trout (principally steelhead) rescue work is done primarily in the coastal stream basins from San Luis Obispo County to the Oregon border. Several temporary fish rescue crews operated from strategic locations during the biennium. These crews saved large numbers of salmon and steelhead from dr\ing streams. The rescued fish were released in waters having a permanent flow, preferably in the same drainage sys- tem, where they could continue their natural life cvcle. Total fish salvaged and transplanted during the period from July 1, 1954, through June 30, 1956, amounted to 2,122,468 warmwater fish, 194,915 salmon, I,,756 trout (principally steelhead) and 7,150 mis- cellaneous saltwater fishes. A tabulation of fish salvaged by individual species is found in Table 7, Appendix. STREAM AND LAKE IMPROVEMENT The biennium saw a great deal of progress in stream and lake restoration and improvement of environment. Activities of this nature were increased in nearly all areas of the State. Certain types of habitat improve- ment work took place in all of the regions, while other types of i'.iiprovements were confined to onU' one or two regions. Fish screens and ladders were emphasized where there are migrations of salmon and st
