BALLAXTYNE, Minister of ~rarine and Fisheries. SIB,-After a separation of six years, the Fisheries Branch was again attached to this department, and I have now the honour to sulbmit the fifty-fourth annual report thereof. By Order in Council of the 16th of June, W14, the Fisheries Branch was transferred from the administration of thiy circular letter ao; to the possibili~ of eX'tending trade. Recently such circ-ular:; have covered the ATgentine Republic, Brazil, West Indies, Australia, Ind.ia, and Ohina. The fact that practical use has been made of the information th\1& .furnished is proved by ~etters which have ,been received from exporters. There has ~l'lso been furnished to interested parties 1;he names of fish importers in foreign countrit's. as rwell as other information v;-hich wiH tend toward the development of forei'gIl trad ... SCOUTING FOR ~fACKEHEL Arrangementa were made last spring with the Department of the ~ aval Service to )ave the Fisheries Protection cruisers, detailed to 'fol'l.ow the movements of the United iSta;tes maokerel purse-seiners. endeavour to keep just in advance of the school; of mackerel and at least dai'ly to send rwireless reports to shore giving th.. ~ocations of the schools of mackerel when dbserved, their apparent volume and the direction in which they were moving. There was a double Object in this arrangement. First it was felt that a good purpose would 'be served by keeping the fishermen all along the coast who ·were interested in the mackerel fishery advised as fully as possible as to the movement and volume of the schools of nsh, and in the second ,place information would .be gained which would :be of value to those studying the natural history of the mackerel. The daily information sent 'by wireless from the eruisers was repeated /by telegram to all points along the Atlantic coast to the fishermen who would !be interested. The cost of these land tl'legrams was the only l'xtra expense that was involved in the arrangement. Cruising began off Cape Sable on the 8th of )fay, and the first school o} maCkerel was observed on the eleventh of that month forty miles east of Seal island. This school was apparently approaching from the south and was working it, way north and northeast. It was then on the west edge of Brown's ,bank. On the 16th of May a large ibody of maokerel was observed thirty miles east of 'Cape Sable. This school apparently followed along the southern edge of Brawn's ,bank, a portioll of it moving up the deep water channel on the western edge of the bank while the remainder foHowed the deep water on the eastern edge of that bank. On the 17th of '-May another large 'body of fish was fYbserved moving slowly northward. It was coming from the south and was 'between Brown's !bank and LeIIave bank. It converged with the school previously mentioned. The fish were next sighted on the 20th of :May west of IRoseway bank. where the school divided. a portion going north of Roseway bank and the main body ·going east between Roseway and LeH ave !banks. 12 DEPART.llE:YT OF THE :YATA.L 8f:RrICE 12 GEORGE V, ·A. 1922 The cruising was continued until the fish had passed the southeastern portion of Nova 'Scotia. . . . It is hoped that it will be found feasible to continue t~ese observatIOns In commg years so that the ful1lest information posaible maybe avaIlable as to the movements of the mrucker~l. J llRlSDICTION OVER THE FISHERIES The question of extending the jurisdi'Ction of the Federal Government over the fisheries in all parts of Canada has finally ibeen settled. This was d'one iby th~, decision od: the Judicial Commi ttee of the Privy 'Councii in the ;:Fisheries !Reference that was agreed to with the province of Qu~bec in 1915. As wiH later ve shown this reference was considered by the ICourt of King's Bench in 1917, ibut ()lWing to the conditions ibrought albout by the war, it was not found possible to have it argued before the Judicial Committee until this year. The decision of the committee was given on N oveIllber 30, 1920. The decision finds in su'bstance that there is a public right of fishery, over which the Federal authorities ha\'E~ exclusive jurisdiction, not only in the navigable tidal waters but in the non-tidal portions of the streams that are navigable as well, thus including valuable salmon and other fisheries. The history of this question i, concisely as follows:At the time of Confederation it was understood that 'by the prOVISIOns of the British North America Act, the complete jnrisdiction of the fisheries in the different provinces was transferred to the Federal Government. .\ few years aiterwards question arose as to whether this was -the case. In 188:2 a deci,ion of the Supreme Court of Canada was obtained in the case known as "Queen vs, Robertson;' which determined that the ownership of the fisheries in the non-tidal waters stiH remained vested in the provinces or in the riparian owners. This did not, apply to what are now the Prairie Provinces and the territories north thereof, as the Crown Lands therein were owned !by the FederaI Government. Following this decision the prodnces continued to press a 'Claim to greatE'r jurisdiction, and a reference in the premises was finally ~Uibmitted to the Priyy Council, the decision of which was given in 1898. This decision was in su'bstance, except in those waters which at the Union passed to the Dominion under the third schedule of the British North America Act, 1867, that whatever proprietary right~ in t,he fisheries were vested in the provinces at the time of Confederation remained their property subsequent thereto; hut the exclusive 'power to regulate the fiaheries, wherever they might !be aituated, is vested in the Federal Government.. Immediately following this decision the different sea-washed provinces claimed jurisdi<'tion over the tidal nsherie" not only in the rivers and eSltuaries, ibut in the 'bays and territorial waters along the ,seacoast as well. The Federal 'Government, on the other hand, maintained that there is a pu'blic Tight of nsl1ery in tidal waters, and that, as such, it came within the exdu~ive purview of the Federal Government. For years negotiations went on with the different provinces to settlt' the matter amicably; but this was not found to be possible, and finally in 19W a reference to the courts was decided upon with British Oolumbia, in ",hi('h the other provinC'es inter('Sted became intervenants. The decision in that case maintained the contention of the Federal authorities. This settled the question in all sea-washed provinces, with the ex('eption of Quebec, which contended that as the decision was largply based on ,Magna Charta, and that as Magna Charta did not apply to the province of Quebec, the decision did not affect the situation in that province. In order to settle the matter speedily, it was finally agreed that a reference should be submitted to the Court of King's Bench in Quebec. under authority of a provincial FISHERIES BR.LYCb 13 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 statute which was obtained for that purpose. The decision in that court wa~ adver~e to the Federal contention, but a~ above explained thi~ (ll'('i~ion \\'a~ reversed hy that of the Judicial Committee. The Federal fishery regulations have be('n aml'nded to place tllI'lIl in line with the law, as laid down by the Pri\'~' Oouncil decision, ,;u that .luring the approaching fishing season, the fisheries in the navigable tidal wak!'" as well as in the non-tidal portions of the streams in Quebec that are navigable and ;tl'('l',,,ihle by way of na'vigation from the sea, will be administered by this departlllent, and no fishing in ~uch ,,'aters will be allowed, exccpting under li('l'nse frolll the lllini~ter thercof. While the Intel'Jlational l'Ullllllission, that was appointed in Hn,., to e(llbid ...l' a settlement of outstanding questinw; l)('tw('('1I Canada and tIll' United ~tat('s, sulJlllitted a unanimous report tu the respective Governmenb when t.hl'~· cOIllpleted their w(lrk. it was not made puhlic dnring the earlier stug(',.; of th" negotiations following if,; submission. It was, however, published by both (~(I\'('l'lIments concurrently on July 26 last, siw'e which date copies of it hay(' bp('n a\'ailahle to those interested' l Fraser River Treaty.-Amongst the (jUl'stions submitted to the l'ulmni~,ioll for consideration was that of the rchabilitation and prutl'l'tiulI of the salmon ti·;lwri(''; .,f the Fraser River system, whieh include not only those of the estuary of the Fraser river and gulf of Georgia, but those of the northel'Jl portion of Puget sound and of the atrait of Juan de Fuca aB well. The commission recommended that a trraty be entered into betweell the two countries for the joint protection of this system of salmon tisheri(·,;, and tu that ('11d it submitted a draft of a propo,.;ed treaty and regulation" therpunder. Thi.; draft treaty and regulations, with slight modifications not ill\'olving any change in intention of the treaty regulations, was approved by the two OO\'el'llment;; and was signed at Washington on September 2, 191:1. On the following day it wns submitted by the President of the United State,; to the St'Jwtp thereof for ratifi('ation but wlwn it came up for consideration in the Senate, objl'dion arose to the wording of the la;;t sen tence of the second article, on the ground that nnder thc wording thereof a person who was tried in one country for a violation of the regulations and was acquittcd might be tried for the same offencl'. if he visitcd the other country, as he would not have been" punished for such offence" in the other ('lIulltr~'. ClI!h,equentl~' 1111 the 15th of January, the President 1't''1uested the Senate to have the treat~' returned to him for further consideration. This was done and on the 2:'th of May, 1920, an amended treaty was signed at \Yashingion, whi('h trl'aty was submitted b~' the Presid(~nt of the United Statrs Senate for ratitil'atiun on the 29th of that month, but action on it has not ~'et been taken b,v the Senatt'. ,jIeantime effective IIleasure~ for the building up of these fisheries an' being delayed. Tl,i, i;; exreedingly unfortunate. The existing position is aptly and concisel~' put in the following extract from the report of the Coml1Jission:The fact that these fi;;h pa,.;s through the wat€.rs of the two countries makes it impossible to properly protect them by independent action. The fishermen of either side are inclined to operate to the limit when the fish are in their waters and place the responsibility for untuw;ofll results on those of the ot11er country. DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVAL SERVIOB 14 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 How the fishery has declined, willlbe realized from the following statemen~ of the packs of sockeye salmon for a series of years:YEAR. 190~, . 119I()3 .• 1904 ..

The yearly possibilities of the Fraser river must be measured by the conditions of the ., big years." All that is needed to produce the run of a "big year" any season is to have the spawning beds of the whole system seeded as plenteously in the" big years" of the past. The river is as free from pollution or artificial obstruction as it ever was. and all the conditions for successful spawning are as fa\'ourable a~ in early times. The only deficiency is in the spawning fi"h. :? Unless drastic action is taken, internationally, to save the situation, the fishery will become commercially exhausted in a few years. The figures for 1(1'18 clearly evidence this. It would be an international calamity, involving almost criminal neglect, on the part of both countries if the latter condition were allowed to obtain. On the basis of the present prices, the sockeye progeny of this river should be prodUcing, annually, a food worth over $30,000,000, this figure being based on the actual pack of the last "big year," 1913. As it is, the average value for the four years ending 1918 is about three million dollars. Canada has left nothing undone tha.t she could do to remedy this unfortunate condition. Port Privileges Treaty.-Ko substantial progress has been made since the last annual report in the negotiations for a final settlement of the questions affecting privileges in the ports of either country to the fishing vessels of the other. Meantime the temporary arrangement for reciprocal privileges, which was made shortly after the Oommission began its work, and at its instance, is being continued in both countries. Pelagic Sealing Treaty.-The good effects of this treaty are becoming increasing4r evident as the year .. go by. The condition of constantly diminishing herds, which at the time the treaty w;as entered into had reached dangerously' near the point of commercial exhaustion, has been replaced by one of ever increasing herds. The herds in which 'Canada is interested under the treaty are tho.se resorting to the Pribilof islands, Behring sea, which a.re part of Alaska, the Oommander islands, also in Behring sea, but which belong to Russia, and Rob'ben island in the North Pacific ocean, which since the Russo-J apanese war has belonged to Japan, By far the largest herds are those resorting to the Pribilof islands.

While our educative and .persuasive efforts under an optional inspection Act have on the whole accomplished a good deal in the way of inducing the trade to use better barrels, and to pack !better fish, experience has made it clear that the means provided by such an Act were not suited for securing speedy general improvement. A system of inBpection which require, inspeding officers to plead with packers to submit their product for in;;pection i, very far from being a satisfadory one, because it makes it difficult for them to condemn tIlt' inBpected product if not quite in accordance with the requirement:; of the Act.. It was realized that so long as inspecting officers are without authorit.v to insist on at least ,0 me of the essential points in the construction of packages. and the packing and marking of fish being -complied with, the bulk of the ,Canadian output would continue to be marketed as poor grade stuff in inferior pl1ekagE"', and result in the nullification of the efforts of those packers who are ende''''ouring to build up a name for Canadian goods by producing a higher grad(' article. The department was drivC'n to the eonclusion, therefore. that the Act of lWI-! rcquil'l·d amending in order to give power to the inspecting IOfficers to compel all l'OOjl('1'S and pa('k('rs to comply with its provisions. In thif; the department had the strong !backing of the Canadian Fisheries A&sociation, the Halifax Board of Trade, the Vancouver Board of Trade, the :Commissioner of -Fisheries for British Columbia, the now defunet Canada Food Board, and of mRny individual fishermen, cooper~, packers and dealers. Under the ,Act of Ifll-!, when a packer desired to have his fish inspected, he notified an iIlJlpeetor. who vi"ited his ('uring place, carried out the inspection there, and put an official stamp on such of the fish as may have been worthy of it. The experif'nr'c of the pnst few ypar" led to the belief, however, that that system of in-;pt'ding and hranding ('o\lld not be satisfactorily carried out under a compulsory standard of packing ('x('('pt hy the employment of a very large and expenBive staff of inspectors, owing to the enormouI" number of individual packers scattered over thousands of miles of con,t line. and the greater quantity of fish that would, therefore, have to be dealt with. Cunsequently, the question as to what system would be F1811Eun", IiIlA.H'Ji 21 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 most acceptable, effective and economical in appl~'ing' the principal of compulsion was duly discussed with th06e directly engaged in the busineBs, and the conclusion was reached that a system somewhat similar to that under which the inspection of fruit is carried on should be applied to the inspection of fish. During- the last "e,<,ion of Parliament, therefore, the Fi"h Inspection Act of 1914 was amended b,Y the Fi,;\l Inspection Act {If 1!1';!4I. which provides authority for carrying on the inspection of fish and packages along the lines proposed. The amended Act became operative on the Paeific coast on X ovember 1, 11:)20, and on the Atlantie ('<>a,.;t on April 1. 1'9:!1. Its main purpose if' to require that all pickled fiilh be fit for human food; that such fish he packed in water-tight barrels of a standard size; that the barrels contain the proper weight of fish, and that the fish 'be as represented by the marks plaeed upon the barrels by the packer. Fish packed by fiehermen or other perf'ons for their own liS". and nut int.>nded tu be sold, are exempted [rom the provisions of the Act. The following is a summar~' of the requirements of the Ad and of the rC'{,!ulations made thereuuder:1. All barrels or other containers in which piekled herring, alewives, mackerel and salmoll, except mild-cured salmon, are to be packed and marketed must 'be made in accordance with the standards defined in the new regulations, and marked by the maker with his 11ame and address. The length and thickness of staves are to be as defined in the regulations made under the IAct of 1914. In other respects the stand~ ards of requirements for barrels, with one or two minor exceptions. are similar to those defined in the old regulations. :!. "\11 herring, alewive,;. mal'kerel and salmon. except mild-cured salmon. packed in "alt and pickle in water-tight barrel" or other eontainers, must be cured and packed in al'cordaJll'C' with the requirements of the lWW regulations. 3. On the end of each Ibarrel or container tilled with either of the above-named kinds of pi"kled fish must be "tencil1ed 'by the packer or the first dealer who repacks or r('conditions the fish his name and addrcs,;. the grade and the weight of the r/ish i'n the barrel or ('ontainer. Pickled fish shipped by a p,wkn to bc repacked 01' reconditioned 'by the first dealer or buyer in 'Canada. if ungraded, may be marked "ungraded ,. but the containers and fish must in other respectil be in accordance with the requirements. J. Competent inspectors will visit coopers' shol'~ and curing places for the purp06e of giving instruction and advice. but the ncw Act does not require them to visit such for the purpose of stamping or branding the output of coopers and packers. There will be no official brand. 5. ('«"pcrs must see t" it tha't their balTel~ a~e properly wade and that their name and address is shown thereon. Packers or rel"1I'k,'r, must likewise make sure that their fish are properly packed and that the marks tlwy plact' on tlw container5, truly and correctly represent the contents. 6. At any time or place which may be found ~uitable <>r ('uIlYl'llit'nt. after the barrels or containers have IJeen packed with fish. marked and made ready for market, an inspector may examine samples of the containers and fish in order to assure himself that the containers are in accordanl'C' ,,·ith the standard, and that the fish are as the marks on the containers represent them to 1,,>. 7. When an inspector filllb barrel,.; or other .'ontainers. in which pickled fish are packed, not up to the standard, he will mark such barrels or containers with the words" Container below standard," and when he finds that such barrels or containers do not show the name and address of the maker, he will hold them until such name and address is ascertai~ed, F'or such violations the barrel maker becomes liable to a fine not exceeding flfty dollars for a first ofl'ence. 22 DRJ>. .. ,and 1 canning crabs. There were in alll;(?~12 formal inspections made and reported on during the season, in addition to many more ineidental visits of inspection. A number of defects, such as unsatisfactory ventilation alld drainage, defective coolers and utensils, were noted and corrected. In several cases license, were withheld until the canners were made to comply with the standard of requirements. One cannery which was found to be without proper sanitary equipment for the use' of th~ enl/)]oyees was made to provide such under threat of closure. The Act, as amended N ovember, 19'W~ provides definite weight8 of dried lobster Illent for the various sizes ,of cans thereof, and was enforced for the first time during the past season. At the beginning of the lobster canning season in western Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, cans which did not contain the prescribed weight of lobster meat were found in somc of the canneries. One canner was proaecuted. but the evidence showed that while some cnns were under weight others \1'('1'(' £1111 nSHBlllBS BRAS CH 23 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 weight and oome even over weight. In.,< 'me instances it was found on a reinspection, after sOllle weeks, that the meat had absorbed ~o much of the liquid as to brill~ it up to the full weight. As there did not appear to be any intention on th~ part of thi" packer to defraud, the case was dismissed. The whole matter of dealing with the packing of light-weight ('aIlS (If lobster was found to be a difficult one to handlc, owing to certain loopholes in the Aet, whioh came to light durillg its enforcement. The action taken, however, and th" aetidties of the fishery officers in warning lobster packers against packing light weight~. have done much good, inasmuch as packers, realizing that the law was ,being enforced in earnest, immediately began to exercise the greatest care in seeing that the proper amount of llIeat was put into each can, and it seems highly probable that there will he little trouble in this respeet during the season of 1921. A great deal of trouble was experienced in the course of the past year in enforcing the labelling requirements for the various kinds of canned fish. Some which were found to be wrongly labelled were held until relabelled; a quantity of .salmon found on sale in British C'olumbia under misleading marks were seized and confiscated; several lots of canned fish, imported for sale in Canada, found to be either wrongly labelled or without label~ of any kind, were refused entry until the labelling requirements had been complied with. It is felt, however, that most of the trouhles which were met with in the past ~'ear will not recur in the coming year, as packers. taken as a whole, have been found really anxious to comply with the provisions of the Act. FISHERIES ST.\TISTICS Dnder an arrangement between this department and the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the latter now compiles and publishes the annual statistics relating to the fisheries, as Part III of ,its Census of Industry. The information is secured partly from manufacturing establishments, on individual schedules designed to fit in with the bureau's general scheme of securing industrial statisticR.. and partly by the officers of this department, from those fishermen and dealers who are not classed as manufacturers, but who market their own produce, The returns from both the manufacturers and our officers are checked in this department, and afterwards handed over to the Bureau of Statistics for publication. A general re.iew only, made ,up from information obtained b~' the department from time to time, is given in this report. :Monthly returns ,of the quantities and values of sea fish landed are sent to the department, as usual, by the officers in sea-mshing districts. The returns are checked and compiled to show the landings in each county and province, and in the whole of Canada. The compiled information is then summarized in a report by the department and made public through the press, monthly. Once every three months the monthly information is compiled to show the total landings of the various kinds of fish for the quarter by provinces and ,for the whole of Canada. This is printed and published in the form of a Quarterly Bulletin and distributed to the trade and all directly concerned. T'he Quarterly also contains summaries, . made up from official monthly reports of the landings of ·fish in the United 8tHt"", England, ·Scotland. Ireland and of certain kinds in Norway. FIsmNO BOUNTY Under the authority of "An Act to encourage the development of the Sea Fisheries and the building of Fishing Vessels," the sum of $160,000 is appropriated annually by the department and paid to fishermen of the eastern Maritime Provinces.

The mo~t of the eommercial speciea were distributed as fry after the food sac was absorbeJ, 011 the natural spawning grounds, and largely where the eggs were collected. The sporting Yarieties suah as, speckled trout in the east .a.nd cutthroat and rainhow trout in the wpst were hatched in limited numbers, and 'Riter adequate return was made to the areas where the eggs were collected were practically all deposited in public wateri'. A small percentage was allotted to privatel~' controlled or leased areas, 011 payment of nominal price,; and distribution expenses. The feeding of salmon has .been given greater attention during the past summer than formerl~' and the distribution of fingerlings was considerably increased. The use of natural ponds for thi, purpose wa.s given particular consider,ation and the neighbourhood of prac·tically all the salmon hatcheries was carefully inspected with the object of locating suitable places for such ponds on a large scale. Arrangements are sufficiently advanced to enable a considerable portion of the coming season's hatch of salmon to be retained and fed through their first summer, and unless something unforeseen occurs accommodation will be ayailable at several hatcheries by next autumn to hold a large number of fry into their second summer, or to the age aJt whioh the majority migrate to sea, under llatural conditions. The conditions met with during the collection of eggs were most unfavourable in some areas, with a consequent decrease in the number of eggs obtained. The total collectioll of 1919 was exceeded, and a record was established in the number of whitefish eg'gs obtained, which w,as over two hundred million greater than in the previous year.

The conditions on the spawning gTolllld" of the British Columbi.a rivers during the past season were also most encouraging. .All the hatcheries in the provinoe were well filled and, in addition, the natural 'i>" wlllllg bell" were well seeded. The collection of sockeye salmon eggs alone was upwards of eighty-five million, although the climatic conditions in mllllly districts during- the egg-,'ollecting sea.son were very unfavourable. A modern and fully equilpped hatchery was oompleted on Granite creek a tributary of Lak€llse lake, whroh in turn flows into the Skeena river, to repl;ace the' old 27 FISHERIE::; BR.LYCll SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 esta'hlishment on Cold'Wat€r ('reek, Itributary to the same lake, which waslmt out of commission by abnormal freshets three years ago. The ha.tchery building is 110 feet long by 40 feet wide with an L 16 feet by 20 feet; walls 10 feet thigh and roof carried Dn ten trusses. The equipment includes one hundred and twen1y hatching troughs having a total capacity of ten million eggs. A central floor drain, the full length of the hatchery, 6 feet wide and from 18 inches to 2 feet in depth, into which the water from the troughs discha.rges provides considerable space for fry, which will relieve the troughs during the hat.ching period. The other buildings include the superint€ndent's dwelling, whioh is a four-room bungalow, 25 feet 6 inches by 30 feet; living quart€rs for the staff, which is a two-storied seven-room build~ng, 25 fee1 by 30 feet, and a boathouse with a landing stage. All the buildings are constructed with concret€ foundations and the hatchery with concrete floor throughout. Both dwellings are modem. with basements, hot-air furnaces a.nd sanitary plumbing. The construction was carried on by day labour, under the direct supervision of the Fisheries resident engineer for British Columbia.

Thls method has YIelded most satIsfactory results III some instances, but further experiments are necessary before the method ca.n be adopted on a larger scale. Under certain conditions. it provides an efficient means of stocking isolated waters to which fry cannot be conveyed from existing hatcheries. The stooking of lakes. barren of fish life. but containing an abundance of natura.l food,has proven mo~t efficient. ! Sockeye fry in some instances have attained, in from seven to ten weeks, a growth equal to the average growth attained by the Fraser river sockeye in one year. I The aoolimlatization of the better varieties of food and spor,ting fish has also been achie,-ed. The eastern speckled trout and whitefish 'have ,been established in considerable areas in British 'C~lumbia. and encouraging returns are apparent from the distribution of spring salmon in certain tributaries of lake Ontario. The introdumion of ba..~s and other fish of predatory habits into salmon and trout areas, on account of the harm that might be done to the young of these species is discourll!ged. Investigation of the spring and autumn runs and the possibility of these runs comprising two races of salmon in the Atlantic rivers has been continued. In the Miramichi and Margaree rivers, where the late run predominates and parent salmon are caught during their upward migration, after August 25, eighty per cent of the recaptures were caught before August 15 and less than twenty per cent after that date. Adjoining rivers, similar in character, are being stocked. in one case with the fry from a river in which the run is predominately early and in the other case from a river in which the late run predominates and the early run has pnwtically ceased to exist. The good effects of fish culture have become more and more apparent on all sides. Very few salmon ascended the rivers of Prince Edward Island predous to the establishment of the hatchery in 1906, but as a result thereof all of its rivers and larger brooks were practically teeming with salmon during the last spHwlling sea~on. Salmon have not been seen in the N ashwaak river, N.B., for over fift~· ~·elUS. but as a result of systematic stocking it carried a heavy run last season. ~otwithstand­ ing the fact that the close season 'WIae recently abolished in the Great Dakes, the whitefish fishery is increasing steadily and the catch per net in lake Winnipeg was last year greater than it ever was. The upper waters of the Fraser river, B.C., where no hatcheries have been operated, have for several years been practically depleted of salmon, while good rune have annually occurred in the lower reaches where several hatcheries are located. There was a larger number of spawning sockeye in the Birkenhead river last year than there has been for thirteen years past. The Fraser river situation, however, cannot be successfully handled otherwise than by proper international co-operation. The run of sockeye to Anderson lake. Vancouver island, was fifty per cent greater than it was in the previous year, which \\'a~ the best for ten yearil previously. It is estimated that not less than seventy thousand sockeye reached the spawning areas of this lake. Definite runs have been estrublished in many areas to which sockeye did not resort before 'they were stocked from the hatcheries, and most satisiiactory return8 are a:pparent from several of the prairie lakes that have been stocked with whitefish. Whitefish are also returning to the southerly pOlftion of Gebrgiall biay. as a resullt of the CollHngwood hatchery. A report in detail of the fish cultural operations of the Department is being published in pamphlet form. OYSTER CUI.TURE; The officer in charge of this service examined the various oyster fishing areas the gulf of St. Lawrence and cleaned the beds which required cleaning. The Bay du Vin area was found to be in a satisfactory condition. III FISHF.RIRS BRI.\·(?II 29 S!SSIONAL PAPER No. 40 In Richibucto river the oysters tran;;planterl two y,· was practically no mortality in this transplanted lot. In (~harlotteto,\'n harbour and surrounding waters the beds are in good condition. Here during the oyster fishing season the officer boarded the boats, inspected the catches and gave advice to fishermen with res-pect to culling the undersized oysters and returning them to the beds. The areas in Richmond bay, P.E.I., which became ,kpleted a few years ago by a disease which practically killed all the oysters, show no signs of improvement ~'et. The beds, both public and private, as a result of not being fished in the last two or three years are becoming overgrown with eel grass and mussels. The beds in Cascumpeque bay seem also to have fallen a prey to the disea"e since last year, as no live oysters were caught there except on some fresh beds in Kildare river. BIOLOGICAL STATIONS OF CANADA. The two Biological Stations under the direction of the Biological Board of Canada had the most successful season during 1920 in the history of biological research in Canada. In addition to the paid staff of eight persons in the station at Saint Andrews, there were nearly twenty scientists who .carried on investigations. Professor A. B. Knight, Kingston, Ont., chairman of the Biological Board, conducted some difficult and lengthy experiments on the influence of temperature on newly-hatched lobsters and he de,ised a method of rearing them to a somewhat advanced stage. When Professor J\night left for Prince Edward Island at the end of July, Professor Prince continued the investigations and a number of young lobsters were reared through a series of the early stages and these stages were prescrvcd so that it would be possible to prepare a ver:v detailed report on the changes which these young lobsters undergo in their earl~' life histor~·. Professor L. W. Bailey, Fredericton, continued his studies of Canadian Diatoms and paid special attention to a valuable collection from Quill lakes, Sask.; Professor A. \V. Willy, McGill University, examined a large collection of Plankton material from the Miramichi river. He drew up descriptions of a series of Copeoda, which will be of great importance in connection with the feeding habits and migration of the smelt and other fish inhabiting the river. In addition, he studied the microscopic Crustaceans from Quill lakes, which had been obtained during the early summer; Dr. F. C. Hainsman, McDonald College, spent a short period at Saint Andrews superintending the scheme for studying of fish bactf'riology; Professor Cox, Fredericton, concluded the important study of the life-history of the tom-cod. The Station was fortunate in having Professor Olara Benson at Saint Andrews, carrying on elaborate investigations into the chemistry of the flesh of various fishes; and Miss McFarlane, Toronto; Miss Symons, McGiIl University, and Miss Williamson,Columbia Fniversity, engaged in thf' bacteriology of lob&ters, clams, etc., thp last named also studying the important question of the alleged shrinkage in weight of lobster meat after undergoing the canning operation; Dr. F. S. J ackson, ~fcGill, completed some remarkable studie& on the changes undergone by the muscle of fishes during the freezing process, a subject of very great practical importance from a food point of view; Pro- 30 DEPART.!! F:.YT OF THE XA. L4L F;ERrlCFJ 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 fessor J. W. Mavor Schenectady, continued his important work in determining the movements of water' in the Bay of Fundy, his results, which included the summarizing of a large number of records of floating bottles ,placed in the currents of the bay, seem to show that these are much more complicated than had been supposed, and the whole investigation will be one of very great interest when published; Professor Connolly, Antigonish, N.S., made a biological study of the young 1!tages of certain Decapod Crustaceans; Miss E. K. Chant, Toronto, completed a report of the life-history of the 5melt of the locality, including a very interesting study of the eggs and young stages; while Miss M. A. Reid, of Toronto, pursued investigations upon the eggs and changes in the life-history of a peculiar marine animal, called Sagitta. Professor A. Vachon, I,aval University, Quebec, made chemical and physical examinations of samples of water from western lakes, including the Quill lakes. In addition, to the biological ,,"ork carried on in the Station and in the waters adjacent to Saint Andrews, researches on the life-history of the shad were made by Mr. A. H. Leim, of Toronto, in the waters at the head of the Bay of Fundy, and Professor Knight, Mr. D. A.McKay of Ottawa and Professor A. B. Dawson, Loyola College, Chicago, completed further investig·ations on the lobster fisheries, which have formed the subject of elaborate studies for several seasons. The researches of the young lobster3 and their behaviour in early life formed an important part of the work, and a report of great value to the fisheries is in preparation. The board took advantage of an opportunity whi~h offered itself of procuring biological collections from the east shore of Hudson bay and J arne3 hay. Mr. Frits Johanssen was gi"en by the department a sufficient vacation to visit these regions, where very little hitherto has been a1!certained as to the biology and general conditions of the fisheries of these waters. This observer was illiltructed by the board to visit this remote area and has brought back a very important {)ollection of fishes and all marine life, which will be of unusual intere,t, when reports upon it fire completed. Professor A. D. Robertson, London, Ont., assisted by Mrs. Robertson and a small staff, extended his oyster studies on certain important beds in Prince Edward Island. The several reports which Dr. Robertson has previously made upon the oyster areas will receive important additions and be supplemented extensively by a further report on the work carried on during the season of 1920. Professor A. G. Huntsman, curator of the Station, and who had general direction of the biological researches carried on, was at Saint Andrews from June to late October, and in addition to his onerous duties as head of the Station, he studied the influence of light on the growth of mussel~. and superintended the slllelt and Saggitn investigatiollR, a~ well ,H conducting the dredging and other investigations in the open sea. MlIeh material has heen supplied to Principal Harrison to aid him in his investigations at MacDonald College upon the canning of lobsters and curing of fish; and Miss Fritz, of Toronto, also continued the study of material which 'had been collected on the Miramachi region in 1918. A very important piece of work was carried on from October 8 to 11.2 in a series of tow-net operations off Southern end, Grand Manan, in order to ascertain the distribution and movements from the spawning ground, in that vicinity of vast schools of young herring occurring there. In August and September several Hydrographic and Plankton expeditions were made in the Bay of Fundy when drift bottles were put out in order to obtain the records of the movements and 'currents desired by Professor Mavor, and some similar studies including a general Faunistic investigation, was made at the Minas basin and other waters at the head of the Bay of Fundy. In September it may be added, that Professor Prince and Professor Huntsman left the Station to give technical instruction to fisheries officers at Truro, N.S., when a large assemblage of the inspectors from all parts of the Maritime Provinces met together under the chairmanship of Chief Inspector Ward Fisher, and a very successful FISHRR1R8 BR:LH'JI 31 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 series of sessions were held and important information on fish and fisheries imparted. Several biological lectures were delivered by arrangement in Truro at the same time and were largely attended by the Normal School teachers and the public. The \Fisheries 'Mllseum at the Station which has proved a great attractiol1 each season, has !heen much curtailed owing to the necessity of placing research talbles between the museum cases, a condition necessary owing to the very large staff of workers who attended during the season of '1920. A refrigeration apparatus divided into three compartments has been constructed for experimenting with frozen fish and other sea produce. An ammonia refrigeration machine has been installed, in order to control the temperature. l1he library has received considerable additions, and the catalogue has been very much extended so that the staff can make coristant use of thc valualble works now on the shelves. The Biological ,Board has !been impressed by the necessity of increasing the accommodations, 'both in the laboratory and in the residence for workers, as there is every possibility that the number of ,canadian scientists in future seasons will be greatly increased and accommodation must be found for them. The heating and lighting of the buildings requires also improvements, and a plan for extpnsion and for installing electric light, etc., is now :before the Board. Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo, B.C.-The ,station at 'Nanaimo has had a very profitwble season under the direction of Dr. ,0. lMacLean Fraser. In addition to important Faunistic and fishery inv!!stigations conducted Iby nr. Fraser himself, Mr. C. Berkeley, the assistant, has also been engaged in chemical and Ibacteriological investigations. The staff included a nUlliber 0If 'Workers from the University of British Columbia and it is certain that in the future there will be an increasing number of able workers sent to the 'Station each season from the uuiversity. Dr. Fraser was offered the Professorship of Zoology by the University, which he accepted • after consultation with the Biological Board and the completion of an arrangement whereby he can still corltinue as head of the Station and direct all investigations. He will atlso carry on his work in the university as ,professor, which will be invaluaJble to the work at Departure bay. Professor A. T. Cameron, 'Winn i peg, resided at tne Station during the season and oarried on some valuable researches in addition to the splendid investigations which he had 'begun in British Cblumbia waters in the spring season. Professor J. LB. Collep also returned to the Station and engaged in some very elaborate biochemical investigations upon certain fish and other forms. A consider-alble amount 0'£ Faunistic work was done and a ,series of prolblems relating to 'fisheries which the department in Ottawa had handed to the Biological Board, were investigated at the ,station and report,s upon them have 'been prepared or are in course of preparation. The Ibiological volume which was announced .asnearly ready for publication last year has been delayed, and this delay has enabled several new papers to be included so that the pulYlication entitled, "Biological Oontributions, 19'18-20," will include no less than sixteen very valua1ble reports containing original result, on fishery and other investigations carried on by the staff at both laJboratories. There is a great demand among scientists in Canada and the various parts of the world for these publications, which are .sent to a ,large number of the principal librarie.s in the Dominion and Europe. It may :he added that Professor Prince, after oocupying the position of 'chairman of the board for over twenty year,s, has retired from that position, and Dr. A. P. Knight, of Kingston, has 'been chosen for the 'position, but Dr. Prince will continue to act as secretary-treasurer of the !hoard. Professor Rut-tan, it. may be added, has replaced Professor Adami as representative of~IcGil1 University, Dr. Adami having accepted the position of Chancellor of the University of Liverpool, England. 32 DEPARTMENT OF THE SATAL SERVICE 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 REnEW OF THE ,FISHERIES OF 1920 The ~'ear 1920 has been a rather trying one for the industry as a whole. During the war, and since, the er.v of the world has been for increased production of food. To this cry the fishing companies and the fishermen, even though inroad~ had 'been made on their nUmlbers by enlistment, splendidly responded ; but since the armistice there has heen a serious drop in the commmption of fish and a consequent slowing down in the demand therefor. One result was a sharp reduction in the ,prices of fish, but. unfortunately this reduction reflected itself more speedily and in gTeater degree on the producer than on the consumer. On th,e other hand the equipment with which the fishermen were supplied had been purchased at high-water prices, and from which there ;as little reduction when 'replacements had to be made during the year. The cauning industries on both coasts have carried on under heavy handicaps. The prices paid for tin plate were very high and labour costs continued heavy throughout the season. While owing to these and kindred conditions the year has not been as suocessful as would be desired, the induO'try faces the coming season in a healthy and vigorous condition. It realizes as it has never realized before that if Canada is to take the place in supplying the markets of the world that her premier fishery resources warrant, our fish muslt be so prepared. fur market as to favourably compare with the best nom any other country, and tha,t if our domestic demland for fresh and frozen fish is to be l'Iapidly eXFPanded, not only must fish in perfect conditnon be placed in the hands of the consumer but at moderate prices. Arrangements are being made accordingly to Il greater extent than ever before. The department has been doing much to stimulate improved methods of handling and curing fish, by investigation, and affording information, 'by puMicity, and by obtaining needed legislation. The compilation of the detailed statistics of the fisheries for the year 1920, which are now published in the form of a separate statistical report by the Bureau of Statistics, has not been completed at thc time of writing, consequently an estimate only of the total value, and .a general summa.ry of the result.s of the year's operations, can be given here. The marketed value of all fish and fish products is estimated to amount to approximatel.v $[;0,000,000. Thi~ is a decrease of aoout $6,000,000 compared with the value for the preoeding" year. The decrease is chieflly attributable to oR diminished pack of fa.ll salmon in British Columbia, and a poor demand therefor; also to oR smaller cateh at lower prieps of cod, haddock, and such like fish of the Atlantic coast. .\l'LAKTIC FISHERIES Cod, H al.c, H addocl.;, and. Pollock.-The greater part of the catch of the four kinds named above is split, salted and dried, for consumption chiefly in foreign market>! where it comes into eompetition with products of the same nature from Newfoundland 'and 'the United States, Norway, !equently, prices felll off ~lie second half of the year ,especially, Bnd many fiShermen finding themselves unable to continue. gave up fishing and sought other occupations, with the result that the aggregate catch of these fish under review fell below that for the year before by approximately 1,000,000 owts. Mach-ael, Hen'ing, and Sardines.-The mackerel fishery was not as successfully prosecuted as in the preceding year, owing to rough weather in the early swnmer and the fact that the fish did not oome close to the south shore of Nova Scotia i~ l!'lSHERIES BRANCH 33 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 their usual numbers. The catch of that province, which furnishes the bulk of the total catch, fell off hy a.bout 90,000 cwts. There were decreased catches in New Brunswick Bnd Prince EdwaTd Island aUso, but the Magdalen islands' caJtch WIllS substantiaUy gr'mter. The herring catch of Nova Scotia was about 20,000 cwts. less, while that of New Brunswick was 180,000 cwts. greater tha.n in the preceding year. The New Brunswick increase, however, was neutralized by a decrease in Quebec, particularly at the M:agdalen islands. The s~rdine fishery of the Bay of Fundy was fina.ncially a .poor one. The catch was nearly as good as the preceding year's one, hut the prices 'paid by the cannel"S were too low for profitable operation of the weirs. This indusUry has not yet recovered from the slump in the demand for the canned product which took place at the close of the war. Other Sea Fish.-The catch of ha.libut was about 40 per cent less than in the preceding year. The landing:,> of swordfish, albacore, flounders, and tomcod, were conside~ably less also. Shell-fish.-It is very gratifying. especially under present conditions, to be able to report that on all parts of the coast the lobster fishffi'Y, which is one .of the most important of our fisheries, gave excellent results with lI'eg,ard to both quantity a.nd value, so far as the fishermen were concetned at least. Some of the packers and dealers, however, were not quite so fortunate. ~[uch of the canned product was held for higher prices than were offered at the opening of rthe season, but in the face of an a.caumulatioll of stocks and of falling market, sales were ultimately made at considerably less than the first prices offered. The present regulations seem to have at last arrested the diminution of the stock of this shellfish, which would appear to be now capable of ma.intaining itself naturally. About the same quantity of oysters was taken as in the rpreceding year. The prices were somewhat easier. The total quantity of clams taken was less. This was possibly due to the fact that fewer cla.ms were required for Ibait owing to the curtailment of line-fishing operations. Quite as many clams were canned as in the preceding year. The fishery for scallops was extended by the discovery of important beds in Digby basin and vicinity. The tota'l catch, however, ,was not equal to that of the preceding year. River Spawning Fish.-The Atlantic salmon catch fell short of that of the preceding year. The smelt fishery resulted in a decrease of 15,000 cwts. In Nova Scotia and New BrunSlWi'ck, the qU'aIlftity taken was less, but in Prince Edward Island it was greater. The catohes of alewivesand shad were not quite So good as in the preceding year. INLAND FISHERIES In Alberta a.nd S,askatchewan there was a decrease in the catch of all kinds of fish. There were fewer fishermen operating and winter fishing was delayed owing to the late formation ·of ice on the lakes, while the la{:k of snow made it impossible for operators to reach the more distant points where the best winter fishing takes place. The demand for fish exceeded the supply, however, and prices were somewhat higher than in the preceding year. There wa.s a decreased quantity taken from the lakes of Manitoba also. Winter fishing was a month later in being started because of the mildness of the winter. High wages in h;lmber and mining camps drew the nUJIDlber of men away from the occupation of fishing. 4()..-4J 34 DEPART:1lEXT OF THE XAl'AL SERVICE 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 PACIFIC FISHERIES Salmon.-The pack of salmon of all kinds throughout the province of British Oolumbia was about 200,000 cases lesEl than in the preceding year. The shortage was almost entirely in the pack of the varieties known as pinks and chums. The scarcity and high prices of food supplies during the war years caused these kinds to be lI:C'Cepted at prices equal to those paid for Sockeye in ,the prewar years, with the result that large quantities we~e packed. Since the war ended, however, it has been found diffu::lrlt to market pinks and chums. Oonsequent'ly, not nearly so many were packed last sea~on. In contrast to this, it may be noted that the e~pensive sockeye is as much in demand as ever it was. The p3Jck of soekeye in the Fraser river district, while not a great one, was oonsiderably greater than that of the year before. An important contributory cause of this and also of the unusually large number of spawning fish said to have reached the spawning beds was no doubt the limited amount of purse-seine fishing in Puget sound by American fishermen, which permitted a greater proportion of fish to escape to the river and its spawning places further up. There was a greatly increased pack of sockeye in the Rivers Inlet district. The pack of sockeye in the Skeena river district was equal to that of 1917, but very much less than that of either 1918 or 1919. In the Naas river district, the pack was disappointing, as \yas also that of the canneries on Vancouver island. In the latter district the canneries are ,dependent mostly on faH fish, and as market conditions for such were not good, the pack 'was much curtailed. Halibut.-The halibut fishery which centres at Prince Rupert was successful financially during the season of 1920. For a while in the summer time a shortage of refrigerator cars temporarily interfered with fishing operations. But, taken all through, the season was a good one financially. H erring.- The chief seat of the herring fishery of British Oolumbia is in Vancouver island-in the Alberni district on the west coast, and the N anaimo district on the east coast. The fish came in great quantities during the winter season and the catch was much larger than .that of the year before. The great bulk of it was salted: for shipment to the Orient but owing to financial conditions in that part of the world the business, for the time being, was not so good as it otherwise would have been. An increased quantity was used in a fresh and smoked condition throughout the province. Other Sea Fish.-Pilchards appeared in their usual abundance on the west coast of Vancouver island. Four canneries engaged in the canning of this excellent foodfuh and a much greatelr quantity wa.s paked. The fishery for cod and for flat fishes was satisfactory. The demand for these fish is increasing with a healthier and steadier local market. Whales.-The Rose harbour, Naden harbour, and Kyuquot whaling stations were in operation, and 493 whales were caught. In the preceding year the catch was 432. GENERAL. The weather during the first four months of the year, especially on the Atlantic coast, was stormy and oold. Fishing operations were greatly interrupted thereby and much gear was either lost or damaged. Two steam trawlers were lost entirely. Unfortunately the prosecution of the fisheries, especially in the open sea, is attended with an annual loss of life. During the year under review, I very much regret to say there were thirty-four lives lost, twenty-four on .the AtLal;ltic and ten on the Pa:cific. ' In conclusion it affords me pleasure to state that the officers and clerks of the Fisheries Branch ,performed their d1lJties efficiently and s'atisfaC'torily during the past year. I am, sir, your obedient servant, A. JOHNSTON, n"'rv\y Minister of Marine and Fisheries. 35 }'[SHERlES BRA?.,-Cll SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 APPENDIX I REPORTS OF INSPECTORS OF FISHERIES REPORT OF CHIEF INSPECTOR WARD FISHER, EMiTERK FISHERIES DIVISION, FOR 1920 The reorganization of the division, undertaken last year, has not yet been perfected. A fair degree of success has been obtained, notwithstanding that the full permanent staff of officers have not yet been secured. Many of the new officers have shown a most intelligent interest in their work, and give evidence of a strong de3ire to thoroughly acquaint themselves with every phase of the fishing induatry. New and important problems vitally affecting the industry are constantly arising, and in the nature of thing.;; the ability of the staff will be heavily taxed to successfully meet them. I am confident that within a reaaonable time, by proper training and efficient oversight, that the general administration of the division will show gratifying progress. APPOINTMENT OF TWO INSPECTORS Vacancies in the inspectorates of two of the more important districts will necessitate the appointment of officers for these two positions. Hon. Donald Morrison, the inspector for northern New Brun.;;wick, died in November last, after a hrief illness. :Mr. :Morrison was an efficient inspector. Mr. R. Hockin, for nearly thirty years inspector for eastern Nova Scotia, is to be retired on the appointment of a suitable peraon to succeed him. Mr. Hockin was one of the most experienced officers in the division; wise in counsel and cautious in decision. These two vacancies add to the difficulty of successful supervision. GENERAL CONDITION OF THE INDUSTRY DURIXG 1920 In the report for 1919 reference was made to the abnormal conditions affecting the industry in consequence of the unexpected ending of the great war. The dealers were caught with heavy stocks on hand which, owing to the extraordinary world conditions, practically financial, could not be readily marketed, even at greatly reduced prices. In addition, the cost of aupplies and the high operating expenses continued, forcing the dealers and manufacturer a to greatly curtail operations, with the result that the volume of fresh and manufactured fish declined. These conditions resulted in greatly curtailing the operations of the shore fishermen. In some localities the catches did not bring returns sufficient to p!1:V operating expenses and afford a means of livelihood, resulting in a considerable number of the fishermen engaging in other operations. The lobster fishery was practically the only principal fishery that continued highly remunerative to the fishermen. The dealers were more heavily hit than were the fishermen, as the hfi)avy stocks on hand were difficult to profitably dispose of owing to depressed markets. In other words, the dealers were in the unfavourable condition of being heavily stocked with the goods of the previous year, and therefore unable to encourage large catches for 1920. The paat year has therefore been the most trying for many years, notwithstanding that the total catches and values greatly exceed the catches and value of the normal year preceding the great war, when the total marketed value of the fisheries of this division was $13,886,780. This total increased during 1915, 1916, 40---3! 36 DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVAL SERVICE 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 and 1917 to over twenty··two and one-quarter million dollars. It will be interesting to note that last year the total marketed value for western Nova Scotia alone amounted to approximately $5,982,367. The catch of the Lunenburg fleet will show a shortage in value of considerably more than $1,000,000 as compared with the previous year, notwithstanding that the catch was only about 4,000 quintal"30 per case, and in some instances as low as $25 per case. The loss at these low prices was serious as they were insufficient to pay the cost of the pack. FISHERIES BRAlI'Cll 37 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 An interesting phase of this fishery was the increaRe in the catch of medium and large sized lobsters during the past two seasons, as compared with the two previous years. For some time the portion of lobsters of nine inches in length and over, as compared with the catch of small lobsters, was a matter of grave concern, as it appeared -that in a few years the fishery would become so depleted that drastic action would have to be taken to preserve it as a commercial ,industry. This was especially true of the conditions ,existing in western Nova '8cotia and portions of the Prince Edward Island coast. The increase in the proportion of large lobsters, particularly in the prolific district of western Nova .scotia, is attributed to the shortening of the fishing season to three months each. year instead of five and a half months as formerly. Whatever may be the cause in this respect it is quite apparent that the fishery has been greatly improved the past several years. The total catches during the shorter season have been almo.st equal to the total catches taken when the longer fishing season prevailed, and it would appear that the danger of depletion has been overcome, and that the equilibrium between the yearly increase and the yearly catch may be maintained for many years. There was a serious falling-off in the total catches of the other principal varieties of commercial fishes such as cod, haddock, pollock, herring and mackerel, due almost wholly to the fact that the returns to the fishermen were insufficient for profitable employment. The decrease of the mackerel catch was over 817,000 cwts. as compared with the previous year. Nova 'Scotia suffered most severely, as the catch for 1919 was about 162,()00 cwts., while last year it dropped to 811,000 cwt;;;. The falling-off was due to the abnormal weather conditions prevailing during the month of May, preventing the fish from approaching the shore or schooling near the surface. SPECIFIC CONDITIOXS Prince Edward Island.-Oeneral operations were curtailed owing to the low prices, and many of the fishermen were compelled to engage in other operations. Fine weather prevailed throughout the lobster fishing season from April 1, and resulted in large catches and increased pack. . The total pack was 40,322 cases, as compared with 31,911 cases the previous year. There was a slight increase in the catch of herring, but a decrease in the value. The smelt fishery was very satisfactory, showing an increase in catch and value. Other fisheries decreased in catch and value, particularly cod, hake and mackerel, the latter being the most serious. While there was a decrease of over five hundred barrels in the catch of oysters, the sizes and quality was much improved. The prospect for increased catches from the areas in Ea Sit and West rivers, and Vernon, Seal and Orwell rivers, are good, as the beds are in better condition than for some years. It is to be regretted that the blight, which has been affecting the areas of Richmond bay, continues. The beds in Hill river, Mill river and Lot 6 rilrer are suffering apparently from the same blight, the entire catch of last year being destroyed. New Brunswicl.:.-With the exception of the lobster fishery, the operations of the past year were unprofitable to all engaged in the industry. Fish of all kinds were plentiful, and large catches taken by those who continued operations, but, unfortunately, the market conditions drove many of the fishermen out of the business. In the Grand Manan district the line fisheries were abandoned. [ltuyers were hit heavily, as the markets were constantly falling, and the dealers were left in nearly all instances with large stocks on hand which were difficult to dispose of at any price. The sardine fishery was financially disastrous to the fishermen. The run of fish was good, but the small prices paid by the cannery operators made profitable operations 38 DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVAL SERVICE 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 impossible. The season opened with prices of $10 per hogshead, dropping within a few weeks to $5 per hogshead. When it is remembered that two seasons previously the price ranged as high as $70 per hogshead, it can easily be realized that a drop to '$5 was most disappointing. With a good run of herring a fair profit may be made at $10 per hogshead, but it would be difficult, even under most favourable conditions, for the fishermen to pay operating expenses at $5 per hogshead. Until the sardine markets regain their former buoyancy the present unsatisfactory condition of the fishery will continue. The smoked-herring industry also suffered severely. This business is carried on extensively in the Grand :Jlanan district, where a large amount of capital is invested, which in past years has made generous returns to both fishermen and operators. A record pack of smoked herring was put up, and the prospects were for a prosperous year but the prices dropped to the lowest level for many ,'ears. ,Some 300,000 box('s of smoked herring of the finest quality are in stock with no market in sight. The lobster fishery was the one bright spot. A greatly increased catch was made, high prices prevailed, 'and consequently this fishery was most satisfactory. As an insight into the eagerness with which the fishermen engaged in this industry, it might be stated that one fisherman, fishing a,lone and operating 70 traps, sold 'nearly $500 worth of lobsters in two weeks. In ~he northern district lobster packing is extensively carl'ied on, while in the Oharlotte-St. 'John district there are no canneries, the catch being shipped alive chiefly to the United State,s markets. Nova Scotia West.-The district compri9ing the seven western counties suffered to a less extent from prevailing unfavourable conditions than any other section of the Atlantic coast. There was a noticeable decrease in the catch of cod, haddock, poHock, and mackerel. The lobster fishermen had the best and most prosperous year in the history of the industry. It should ;be pointed out, as showing the ,importanc(' of the lobster fishery in western Nova ,Scotia, t,nat 40 cannery licenses were issued and nearly 4,000 fishermen's licenses; 2,157 boats were engaged and 3,908 fishermen employed. The total number of traps operated was 280,000, having a valuation of $482,000. Eastern Nova IScotia, comprising the remaining counties of the mainland, experienced difficulties that taxed the rubility of the dealers. and greatly emlbarrassed the fishermen, as the low prices secured by the 'boat fi,shermen, and the reluctance of the dealers to add to the stocks, resulted in curtailed operations. The steam trawlers with their heavy overhead expenses had to be kept in commission. While l'arge catches were taken by the trawlers, it was found impossible to market the catches with any degree of profit. Indeed, in several instances, the losses were very heavy, particularly of catches landed at American ports. Two landings, one of 400,000 pounds arrived in bad condition owing to warm weather and had to be sacrificed, entailing large losses. As in other districts already referred to the ~~ster fishery was productive and valuable. Cape Breton Island.-This district did not escape the g'eneral prevai].ing conditions ,along the whole coast. Indeed, the past year was the most unprofitable yet experienced. Owing ~o the low prices for the catches fishing operations were largely suspended for a conslderalble portion of the year. As in the other districts 'already noted the lobster fishing was carl'ied on with gratifying success. The fish were plentiful, the weather uniformly ,fine and the prices exceptionally high, resulting in an increase in the catch and in t.he value of the catch. Six additional 10'bster canneries were estahlishl'd ouring the year i.e., at iMain-'a,Dieu, Long Point, Eastern Harbour, Ingonish, Inverness 'and Fourohu: FISHERIES BRAXCll 39 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 There was a decrease in the catch of cod with a decrease in value. Hawkesbury is the only ,port showing an increased catch, and this was due to the addition of one steam trawler to the fleet. The decrease in the catch ~f haddock was large. Ingonish was the chief sufferer in this respect. Halwkes'bury showed an increase. No catches of halibut were taken at Glace Bay or at Seatarie, while the catch at Port Hood and ,Port Hawkesbury was less than one·third the preceding year. Swordfish £shing wa3 prosecuted with quite satisfactory success at Scatarie, Little Lorraine and Louisburg. IlIYERS AND IXLAND FISHERIES The rivers, streams and lakes of the Atlantic coa,st provinces constitute an amazing network of waters, nearly all of which are frequented by valuable anadromous commercial food-£shes sUl'has smelt, gaspereau, bass" white£sh, sturgeon, 'and salmon. New Brunswick leads in the abundance of the varieties named. The commercial salmon £shery produced a decreased catch as compared with 1919, the conditions being particularly unsatisfactory in the St. John river and tributaries and along the coast of 'Ild all expectations and both fishermen and ol'l'rators wen' more than satisfied with the results. It is also reported that the spawning beds of this area were seeded to capacity.

FISHERIES BRANCH 51 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 40 Mr. J. A. Rodd, the Superintendent of Fish Culture, made an inspection of all the hatcheries during the month of June, and went thorough];l· into all the different methods attempted at the various hatcheries-such as the hatching of eggs in gravel, retaining ponds, and etc. He made suggestions at various places which no doubt will tend to improve conditions. This officer also reprcsc'nted the department at the Canadian Fi,hpries Convention held in "\ ancouver. At this cOll\'pntion there were representatives of the whole Canadian fisheries, as well as visitors from the United States, who submitted papers on certain conditions of the fishing industry and the artificial incubation of fish life. The convention was a wonderful success, and whilst good work was done by President A. R. Brittain and by every member of the association, it is pleasing to note that at the expiration of ~rr. Brittain's term of office he was succeeded by a British Columbian in the person of :Mr. A. L. Rager. In closing, I may say that this will be the last report submitted by me as Chief Inspector of Fisheries for the province of British Columbia, as my retirement from the service dates from the 31st instant. To the officers engaged in the administration of the fisheries and fish culture in the province of British Columbia I wish to convey my highest appreciation of the loyalty and yaluable services they have given, and I feel assured that the same efficiency will be extended to my successor in office. 40-5 52 DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVAL SERVICE 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 APPENDIX II 'LIST of United States Vessels which entered Oanadian Ports on the Atlantic -Coast during the .Year ended December 31, 1900 Name of VesseL Acushla .......................... .

A fishway was :completed during the summer of 1 ~1!l in the dam on the Annapolis riYer at Lawrencetown. The department was confronted with a serious problem at this dam, in that the Annapolis is one of the few rivers on the Atlantic coast freqUented 'by shad for spawning purpose"" and, so far as it was aware, no successful fishway for the use of this fiah was known. The dam i" approximately five feet high with water at normal level. When this dam was built plans of a !fishway to be constructed of wood were prepared and submitted to the owner. In building the £ahway he departed from the plans. with th" result that no shad ascended the riYC'r during the season of 1'9Hl. The matter was again taken up and it was decided, in relbuilding. to avoirj wooden construction. and to cater as far as po"sible to the timid habit8 of the shad by so constructing the fishway that it would appear as a natural channel. In order to rlctC'rmine a safe grade for the tishway a study was madf' of the "rips" which occur below the dam. up which it was h"1lown shad had passed in large numbers. The fishway was then laid out and built according to the plana attached. The "rips" above refC'rred to showed a gTad" of approximately one in fifteen, which was adopted as a maximum for the tishway. No partitions other than stone projections to retard the continuous flow somewhat were put in. These projectiollR not only 'l'etarded the flow. but formf'd a deadwater below in which the shad could rest before ascending further. A width of not 1f'sS than eight feet was maintained throughout, wider portions 3hown heing due to the natural contour of the ground admitting 'of such without ex('('s~ive work. A condition which made ('on,~ruction at this place somewhat difficult was the fact that the material in excavations was entirely of clay and ,quicksand. Excava-' tions were carried well back land faced ,with 3tone walls and the floors paved to prevent erosion. In spite of these precautions, a short time after the water wail turned 62 DEPARTJfETT OF THE NAVAL SERVICE 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 through it gullied out at the bend where the direction is changed and had to !be filled in with heavy stone. In the spring of 1920 when the shad entered the Tiver a close oIbaervation was made at the fiahway, and during one hour upwards of fifty were seen to pass through and into the pond 8Jbove. Later evidence was secured that these fish had reached the apawning grounds. Salmon and trout also ascend this fishway. NEW BRUNSWICK Westmorland County.-During the summer of :1919 fiilhways were built in the J ones dam on the Petitcodiac river, in a dam owned by the Salisbury Lumber Oompany on the Coverdale river, and in the Jordan Sanitorium dam on the Pollet river, both these latter rivers being tributaries to the Petitcodiac. In the summer of 1920 a fishway was built in the S. H. White dam on the Pollet river. All of theae fishwaYi! are reported to be efficient. so that the situation so far as this system of rivers is concerned is to be conRidered very satisfactory. Ch(!rlot/p County.-An opening was made by the owneri! in an unused dam on the N PW river which admita of salmon and other fish ascending to the spawning grounds. An inspection was carried out at the falls on the )[agagnadavic river at St. George, a report on which has already been su!bmitted. . In general it may be said that the efforts of the department -along these lines have been marked with a good measure of success. A number of problems will pngage attention next year. It is desired to point out that the design of an efficient fishway constitutes an individual problem in each locality. No two dams pre:;ent similar ("onditions. and quite frequently the condition a are not favourable owing in some instances to natural conditions -and in others to the fact that the owners of dams have built them in such a manner that the placing of a fishway is practically impos· sible.

Preface This Report is issued under an arrangement for statistical co-operation between the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Government branches having jurisdiction with regard to fisheries throughout Canada. These brancheR comprise: the Dominion Fisheries Branch of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, which exercises jurisdiction over the' sea fisheries and over the inland fisheries of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Yukon Territory, and the Fisheries Branches of Ontario and Quebec, which have jurisdiction over the inland fisheries of their respective provinces. The inland fisheries of the Maritime Provinces are, from a commercial standpoint, comparatively unimportant; but their statistics, as in the case of British Columbia, ar(' collected by the officers of the Dominion Fisheries Branch. The province of British Columbia has a Fisheries Branch, but it does not engage in independent ~tati"tical work. Under the arrangement above referred to, the statistics of the catch, and of the products marketed in a fresh state or domestically prepared, arc collected by the local officers of the Fisheries Branches, checked in the Department of Marine and Fisheries, and compiled in the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. In the case of manufactured fish products, schedules in conformity with those of other sections of the Census of Industry are sent by the Bureau to the operators of canneries, fish curing establishments, etc., the fisheries officers assisting in securing an expeditious and accurate return. The grateful acknowledgments of the Bureau are tendered to the officers of the provincial Governments who eo-operate in these arrangement~. H. H. COAT;';, [lOll/inion 8tati.sliclolI. DOMI!\'ION BUREAU OF STATISTICS, OTTAWA, September 7,1921. 17a-li iv FISHERIES STATISTICS 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 Note on the Canadian Fisheries. Canada possesses the most extensive fisheries in the world, and the abundance, quality and variety of their product are unexcelled. The fertility of Canadian waters is indicated by the fact that the entire catch of salmon, lobsters, herring, mackerel, and sardines, nearly all the haddock, and many of the cod, hake, and pollock landed are taken within ten or twelve miles from shore. The coast line of the Atlantic provinces from Grand Manan to Labrador, not including the lesser.bays and indentations, measures over 5,000 miles, whilst the sea areas to which this forms the natural basin embrace: the Bay of Fundy, 8,000 square miles in extent; the gulf of St. Lawrence, fully ten times that size; and other ocean waters aggregating not less than 200,000 square miles, or over four-fifths of the fishing grounds of the North A tlantic. In addition there are 15,000 square m1:les of inshore waters, entirely controlled by the Dominion. Large as are these areas, they represent only a part of the fishing grounds of Canada. Hudson bay, with a shore 6,000 miles in length, is greater than the Mediterranean; the Pacific coast of the Dominion measures over 7,000 miles long, and is except1·onally well sheltered for fishermen; whilst throughout the interior is a series of lakes which together cover 220,000 square miles, or more than half the fresh water of the Globe, Canada's share of the great lakes of the St. Lawrence basin alone ammmting to 34,000 square mnes. Uf even greater importance are th~ abundance and general excellence of the product. The cod and the salmon have long disputed the primacy among these, though in recent years the heavy pack and the high price of lobsters have sometimes sent cod to third place. The fisheries of the Atlantic coast may be divided into two distinct classes; the deep-sea, and the inshore or coastal fisheries. Deep-sea fishing is pursued in vessels of from 40 to 100 tons, carrY1·ng crews of from twelve to twenty men, who fish with hook and line, also in steam vessels of approximately 150 feet in length known as steam trawlers. The bait used is chiefly herring, squid and caplin, and the fish taken are principally cod, haddock, hake, pollock and halibut. The inshore or coastal fishery is carried 011 in small boats, usually motor driven, with crews of from two to three men, and in a class of small vessels with crews of from four to seven men. The means of capture employed by boat fishermen are gill nets and hooks and lines, both hand-lines and trawls; whilst from the shore are operated trapnets, haul seines and weirs. The commerdal food fishes taken inshore are the cod, hake, haddock, pollock, halibut, herring, mackerel, alewife, shad, smelt,jlounder, and sardine. Themost extensive lobster fishery in the world is carried on along the whole of the eastern shore of Canada, whilst excellent oyster beds exist in many parts of the gulf of the St. Lawrence, notably off Prince Edward Island. The salmon fishery is the predominant one on the Pacific coast, but a very extensive halibut fishery is carried on in the northern waters of British Columbia, in large well-equipped steamers and vessels. The method of capture is by trawling, dories being used for setting and hauling the lines, as in the Atlantic deep-sea fishery. Herring are in great abundance on the Pacific coast, and provide a plentiful supply of bait for the halibut fishery. In the inland lake fisheries, the various means of capture in use are gill nets pound nets " seines, and hooks and lines. FISHERIES STATISTICS SESSIONAL PAPER No. 17a FISHERIES, 1920. The total value of the product of the Canadian Fisheries during 1920 was $49,241,339, compared with $56,508,479 in 1919 and $60,250,544 in 1918. These totals represent the value of the product as marketed, whether fresh, domestically prepared or factory-made. The following table shows the quantity and value of the chief commercial fishes (those valued at $100,000 or upwards) during the past five years, with a statement in the final column of the increase or decrease during 1920 as compared with 1919. . 1.

The weather during the first four months of the year, especially on the Atlantic coast, was stormy and cold. Fishing operations were interrupted thereby, and much fishing gear was either lost or damaged. Two steam trawlers were lost entirely. The outstanding feature of the year's result:; is a very large falling off in the aggregate cateh of cod, haddock, hake and pollock. The sh~rtage w~s not due to scarcity of fish, but rather to a poor demand at lower prIces, whIch caused many fishermen to give up fishing altogether. The greater part of the f~ur kinds named is split, ~alted and dried for consumption in foreign markets, whICh are also supplied hy Kewfoundland, United State,.;. Korway, Great Britain and France. During the war year,.;, with Great Britain and France completely out uf the business and K orway largely so, pricE's rose to an abnormal level. The unsettled state into which the business of the world has been thrown, however, since the ending of the war and the landing of pre-war supplies by the fishing fleets of Europe, temporarily blocked the outlets for this product and caused prices to drop to a leyel at which fishermen found it unremunf'ratiYe to continue operatiun,.;. Th(' salmon ('atch on the Pacific coast fell short of that in the preceding Y('tU. This was largely due to the poor demand for the cheaper grades, pinks· and chums. Since the war ended, it has been found difficult to get rid of large quantities of those cheaper kinds; packers therefore, did not pack as many as usual in the past season. The catch of salmon on the Atlantic coast, all of which was consumed fresh, was considerably less than that of the preceding year. There was a great increa:;e in the herring catch. Mo:;t of the increase, however, came from the Pacific coast in the opening months of the year. The lobster fishery on the Atlantic coast gaye good results throughout the season. The increase in the catch was common on all parts of the coast. The mackerel fishery was not as successfully prosecuted as in the preceding year, owing chiefly to. rough wl'ather in the early summer, which evidently kept the fish from coming near the shore of Nova Scotia, in their usual numbers. There was a decrease in the catch of haJibut on the Atlantic coast, but on the Pacific coast, notwithstanding some interruption to the fishery, due to a :shortage of refrigerator cars at. Prince Rupert, thl' quantity landed was considerably greater. The sardine fishery of the Bay of Fundy \\'as again poor. Prices were so low as to make fishermen's operations unprofitable. This industry has not yet recovered from the slump in the demand for the canned product, which took place at the close of the war. The smelt fishery, which. has its chief seat along the south shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, rE'sulted in a smaller catch than that taken in the preceding year. Other and k"" important kinds of sea fish were produced in about their usual numbers. The fishe~ies of Albertll:' Saskatchewan and Manitoba were not quite so successful as m the precedmg year. Fewer fishermen operated and winter fishing was delayed, owing to the late formation of ice on the lakes while the lack of snow made it almost impossible for operators to reach the m~re distant points where the best winter fishing takes place. Prices were somewhat higher however, than in the preceding year. • FISHERIES STATISTICS VII SESSIONAL PAPER No. 17a Summary of Production, 1920.

PARLEMENTAIRE No 17a Préface Ce rapport est publié en vertu d'une enténte établissant la coopération en matière de statistique, intervenue entre le Bureau Fédéral de la Sw.tistique et les différents services gouvernementaux ayant juridiction sur les pêcheries canadiennes. Ces services comprennent: la Direction des Pêcheries du ministère de la Marine et des Pêcheries, qui exerce sa juridiction sur les pêcheries maritimes, ainsi que sur les pêcheries fluviales et lacustres du Manitoba, de la Saskatchewan et de l'Alberta; et les Divisions des Pêcheries des province,; d'Ontario et de Québec, qui régissent les pêcheries en eau douce de leurs provinces respectives. Les pêcheries intérieures des provinces maritimes n'ont que fort peu d'importance au point de vue commercial; leurs statistiques sont colligées par le personnel de la Direction des Pêcheries du Dominion. Il en est de même pour celles de la Colombie Britannique. Cette dernière provincf' possède ·une Division des Pêcheries, mais cet organisme ne s'occupe pas de statistique pour son propre compte. En vertu de l'arrangement dont il est parlé plus haut, le::; statistiques du poisson pêché et des produits offerts en vente à l'état frais ou après une préparation sommaire, sont recueillies par les fonctionnaires locaux des services des pêcheries, vérifiées et condensées au ministère de la Marine et des Pêcheries, puis compilées au Bureau Fédéral de la Statistique. En ce qui concerne le poisson industriellement préparé et ses sous-produits, des formules similaires à celles en usage dans le recensement des autres branches de production sont envoyées directement par ce Bureau aux poissonneries, établissements de salaisons, de conserve de poisson, etc., les fonctionnaires des services des pêcheries s'assurant que ces formules sont consciencieusement remplies et promptement retournées. Les fonctionnaires des gouvernements provinciaux voudront bien accepter nos remerciement" pour le concours qu'ils nous ont prêté. H. H. ('0..\.'1':-;, Statisticiell du. DOIII ill iOIl. BUREAU FÉDÉRAL DE LA STATISTIQUE, OTTAWA, 7 septembre 1921. iv STATISTIQUE DES P~CHERIES 12 GEORGE V, A. 1922 Notice sur les pêcheries canadiennes On peut dlrr sans e.ragération que le Canada possède les pêcheries les plus vastes du monde et que l'abondance, l'excellence et la variété de leurs produits ne sont pas surpassées. La richesse des eaux canadiennes est démontrée par le fait que la totalité du saumon, du homard, du hareng, du maquereau et de la sardine, la plus grande partie de l'églefin et ~tne portion considérable de la morue, de la merluche ct dl/. merlan que l'on y prelld, sont pêchés dans une zone qui ne s'étend pas à plus de dix ou douze milles du rivage. . Les rives" des 1Jrovinces de l'A tlantique, depuis Grand Jl! anan jusqu'au Labrador, mesurent plus de 5,000 milles, à l'exclusion des anses et échancrures qui les dentellent, tandis que les étendues maritimes qu'elles embrassent comprennent: la Baie de Fundy, (lrec ses 8,000 milles carrés; l'estuaire du St-Lattrent, au moins dix fois plus grand, el d'anlres eaux océaniques représentant ensemble plus de 200,000 milles carrés, c'est-à-dire plus des quatre-cinquièmes des pêcheries du nord de l'Atlantique. De plus l'on cornpte 15,000 milles carrés d'eaux intérieures, sous le contrôle absolu du Dominion. Mais ces vastes étendues ne représentent qu'une partie des eaux canadiennes. La Baie d'Hudson, dont les côtes s'étendent sur une longueur de 6,000 milles, est plus grande que la Méditerranée. Sur le Pacifique, le littoral canadien mesure plus de 7,000 milles; ses baies et ses fjords innombrables offrent aux pêcheurs une multitude d'abris très sûrs. Enfin, disséminés sur tout le territoire, s'égrène une série de lacs, couvrant ensemble une s1tperficie de 220,000 milles carrés, soit plus de la moitié des eaux dmtces du globe; dans cette étendue, la part du Canada dans les grands lacs du ba.ssin du St-Laurent, figure pour 34,000 milles carrés. L'abondance et l'excellence du poisson sont un fac/eur de tout premier ordre. Pendant longtemps, la morne et le saumon se sont disputé le premier rang mais, dans les dernières années, le homard tant par son l'olume que sa cherté, a quelquefois relégué la morue aît troisième rang. On peut considérer la pêche dans l'Atlantique sous deux aspects distincts; la pêche hauturière (ou de hU1tte mer) et la pêche côtière. La pêche hauturière est pratiquée par des navires de 40 à 100 tonneau.r, montés par des équipages de douze à ,'ingt hommes, qui pêchent à la ligne, et aussi par des chalutiers à vapeur d'environ 150 pieds de longueur. Comme boette, on emploie principalement le hareng, l'encornet et le capelan el l'on prend de la morue, de l'églefin, de la merluche, du merlan et du flétan. Quant à la pêche côhère, elle se fait au moyen de petites embarcations, généralement automotrices, que montent deux ou trois hommes et dans de petites barques, ayant de quatre à sept hommes d'équipage. Ces pêcheurs en bateau font usage de rets à mailles, de chaluts et de lignes à main, tandis que ceux qui pêchent mtr le rivage se servent de pièges mt casiers, de seines et de nasses. Les poissons comestibles que l'on prend surla côte sont: la morue, la 1/Ierluche, l'églefin, le merlan, le flétan, le hareng, le maquereall, le gasparot, l'alose, l'éperlan, le carrelet et la sardine. Les plus illlporlullirs pêcheries de homard de l'unlz'ers se trouvent tout le long du littoral oriental du Canada, cependant que d'excellents bancs d'huîtres existent en maintes parties de l'est'naire du St-Laurent, notamment à proximité de l'Ue du Prince-Edouard. La pêche du saumon prédomine sur le littoral du Pacifique, quoique de grands navires, bien équipés, se livrent à une fructueuse pêche du flétan, dans les eaux septentrionales de la Colombie Britannique, la méthode usitée étant la ligne de fond que l'on tend et que l'on relève au moyen de doris, tout comme cela se pratique dans les pêcheries en eau profonde de l'Atlantique. Le hareng est très abondant sur la côte du Pacifique et fournit une inépuisable provision de boette pour la pêche du flétan. Dans les lacs intérieurs, on pêche à l'aide de rets à mailles, d'éperviers, de seines et de lignes ordinaires. v STATISTIQUE DES P1tCHERIES Doe. PARLEMENTAIRE No 17a LES PECHERIES EN 1920 La valeur totale de la production des pecheries canadiennes, pour l'annee 1920, s'elev(' a $49,241,339 contre $56,508,479 en 1919 et $60,250,544 en 1918. Ces chiffres representent la valeur du poisson mis sur le marche, soit frais, soit prepare par les pecheurs ou dans les fabriques.

Le fait le plus saillant qui se dégage des opérations de l'année, c'est la très importante diminution qui atteint la morue, l'églefin, la merluche et le merlan. Cette réduction est attribuable non pas à la rareté du poisson, mais plutôt à la ~tagnation du commerce et à la baisse sensible des prix, circonstances qui ont amené de nombreux pêcheurs à cesser leurs travaux. La plus grande partie des quatre espèces de poisson ci-dessus est ouverte, salée et séchée pour la consommation, surtout sur les marchés étrangers, lesquels sont également approvisiollnés par Terre-Neuve, les Etats-Unis, la Norvège, la Grande-Bretagne et la France. Pendant la guerre, la Grande-Bretagne et la France avaient complètement abandonné la pêche et la Norvège aussi, dans une moindre mesure, ce qui eut pour effet de faire hausser les prix à un niveau anormal. Mais le chaos dans lequel est tombé le commerce de l'univers après la guerre et la reprise des opérations de pêche par les flottilles européennes ont temporairement supprimé tout débouché à ce produit et fait tomber les prix à un tel degré, que les pêcheurs ne se soucient plus de continuer des opérations "i peu rémunératrices. La pêche du saumon sur le littoral du Pacifique fut inférieure à celle de l'année précédente; on doit l'attribuer principalement à la diminution de la consommation des variétés les moins recherchée", telles que le saumon rose et le saumon bécard. Depuis la fin de la guerre, on a éprouvé des difficultés à se débarrasser de grandes quantités de ces espèces à bon marché; c'est pourquoi, les usiniers n'ont pas mis en boîte une aussi grande quantité que la saison dernière. Sur la côte de l'Atlantique, la pêche du saumon, lequel est exclusivement consommé frais, fut considérablement inférieure à celle de l'année précédente. La pêche du hareng présente une grande augmentation, principalement sur la côte du Pacifique, où ce poisson fut extrêmement abondant dan~ les premiers mois de l'année. Pendant toute la durée de la saison, la pêche du homard sur le littoral de l'Atlantique a donné de bons résultats; la pêche a été fructueuse tout le long de la côte. La pêche du maquereau ne fut pas aussi bonne que l'an dernier, principalement à cause du mauvais temps qui régna au commencement de l'été, et qui éloigna les bancs de maquereaux des rivages de la Nouvelle-Ecosse. On constate une décroissance dans la pêche du flétan sur la côte de l'Atlantique, ma's au contraire, la quantité prise sur le littoral du Pacifique fut considérablement . accrue, nonobstant une interruption des opérations de pêche, due au manque de wagons réfrigérateurs il Prince Rupert. La pêche de la sardine dans la Baie de Fundy fut encore mauvaise' d'aut.re part, les prix étaient. si minimes qu'ils décourageaient les pêcheurL Cette industrie ne s'est pa:-; encore relevée du rude choc qui lui a été porté par la cessation de la demande, qui se produisit à la fin de la guerre. La pêche. de l'épe~'lan, qui se pratique essentie~lement le long de la riw sud de 1 estuaIre du Samt-Laurent, a été un peu mOIIlS fructueuse que celle de l'an passé. Quant aux autre;; espèce>; de poisson de mer, c'est-à-dire les moins importantes, on constate peu de variations. Dans l'Alberta, la Saskatehewan et le Manitoba, la pêche n'a pa:-; été aussi bonne que l'année précédente. D'abord, les pêcheurs étaient en nombre plus restreint, et puis la formation tardive de la glace sur les lacs, et enfin l'absence de neige ont contrarié sensiblement les opérations de pêche dans les régions les plus éloignées, q~i sont p~écisément celles où la pêche en hiver est la plus fructueuse. ToutefOIS, les prIX ont. été un peu plus élevés que l'an dernier. vii STATISTIQUE DES P:l!;CHERIES Doe.

A. RODD, 1-\UPERI~TENDENT Fish cultural operations of the department during the calendar year, 1\)20, embraced. the fresh-water ~nd anadromous specips only, and were confined almo~t entirely to the more Important commercial food fishes, such as Atlantic salmon in the East; whitefish, cisco, salmon trout and pickerel in the interior and the Pacific salmons in the West. ' !>- large part of the wh!tefish, cisco, salmon trout and pickerel eggs were obtaIned from the commercial catch, and the department is, therefore, largely dependent upon thp co-operation renderrd and the success of the fishermen, for such eggs. The success or failure of the work is affectrd in many ways, but the weather conditions during spawning period is the principal factor. If it were not for the hatcheries, these rggs would be a total loss so far as the maintenance and replenishmrnt of the fishprips is concrrned. The commercial species in the interior were distributed in a free-swinmmig stage, after the food-sac was absorbed, on the natural spawning areas, and largely where the eggs were collected. Thp sporting varieties, speckled trout in the East, and rainbow and cutthroat trout in the West, were handled in limited numbers. After adequate return wa~ made to the waters in which thp eggs werr collected, the most of the balance was distributed in response to applicatiom; in public water. Small allotments wprp also made to privately controlled or leased arpas on the payment of nominal prices and transportation expenses. Greater consideration was given to the fp('ding of fry, and the distribution of advanced fry and fingerlings was increased by over four hundred per cent. The use of natural ponds for holding salmon was given particular attention and the neighbourhood of all salmon hatcheries, as well as a large number of salmon rivers and their tributaries, were examined and several places located where retaining ponds on a large scale could be made at small cost. Provision has already been madp to hold a portion of the output of most of the salmon hatcheries for several months, and a considerable number into their second summer and until the time at which they usually migratp to sea. l\Iarked success has been met with in distributing fry in lakes that are devoid of fish life, but in which natural food is abundant. The necessary protection is provided and the cost of feeding eliminated. Hockeye fry from the Harrison Lake Hatchery, distributed in Hicks lake, E.C., attained a growth in from seven to ten weeks equal to the average growth attained by the Frasrr river sockeye in one year. Experiments in hatt-hill!!; eggs in gravel have bern continued. In some instances, when the eggs were buried in a soft state immediately after they were fertilized the percentage hatched was higher than the average in the hatcheries; the fry were unusually large and strong and the usual labour and expense of caring for the eggs during incubation was eliminated. Good results have not been sufficiently general to justify the adoption of this meth?d at the hatcheries, but it offers great pos",ibilities for stocking remote and Isolated areas that are not easily stocked with fry from the hatcheries. Experim~nts h~ve also been made with different kinds of food for young fish, prepared In varIOUS ways, and fed in different rotations. Weather conditions were unfavourablp during the egg-colieeting season in some districts, and were reflected in the number of eggs of some species obtained but the total egg-collection of all species was increased over the previous ye~r by sevpral h~ndred thousan~L :\n. ab~ndance of grilse in Atlantic salmon rivers generally IS an encouragIng IndicatIOn of the return of normal conditions after the comparatively small runs of salmon of the past two years. Salmon were plentiful on the spawning grounds of most rivers, .but cO.ld, sto~my weather with high water made the capture of parent fish practically Impossible and interfered greatly with the egg collection. Abnormal freshets carried away 23151-2 3 4 the retaining pond fences at New Mills, New Brunswick, and York River, Quebec, and liberated the parent fish that had been retained through the summ.er. Warm weather during the early autumn followed by heavy snowstorms with severe cold, which necessitated the sudden closing of several camps, greatly lessened, what would have been, under more favourable conditions, an unusually large collection of whitefish eggs. As it was all previous records were surpassed and the preceding year's collection was exceeded by over two hundred million eggs. A decrease in the usual collection of salmon trout eggs is due to stormy weather during the height of the spawning season, and an unusually small percentage of ripe fish in the commercial catch. The spawning grounds of the British Columbia rivers were also in a very encouraging condition. Parent sockeye wen' more plentiful than they have been for some time in all districts where hatcheries are operated, exeepting Cultus lake, on the Fraser, and Babine lake, on the Skeena river. An unusually heavy run reached the Pemberton distriet and they were present in considerable numbers in many parts of the Fras('r above Hell's Gate canyon. The distribution of sockeye was better than it has been for several seasons, and almost double that of the preceding year. Closer co-operation now prevails than ever before between the Department and the provincial officials in Fish cultural matters. The most cordial relations exist between the department, the enited States Bureau of Fisheries and the provinces in contiguous waters where the different services co-operate for the mutual benefit of all concprned. The assistance and eo-operation of the lessees of angling rights is also acknowledged; particularly the Restigouche Riparian Association, which for several years has done all the towing of parent salmon for the New Mills salmon pond, N.B.; the lessees of the York River, Gaspe, Que., where a salmon pond is located, and the little Main River Club, Restigouche, which plact'd its waters at the disposal of the department for eggcoll(:eting purposes last season when the fences were carried away and the part'llt salmon escaped from the New Mills pond. A modern and fully equipped salmon hatchery was completed on Granite ereek, a tributary of Lakelse lake, which in turn flows into the ~keena river, to replace the old establishment on Coldwater creek, tributary to the same lake, which was put out of commission by abnormal freshets three years ago. The hatchery building is one hundred and ten feet long by forty feet wide with an L sixteen feet by twenty feet; walls ten feet high and roof carried on ten trusses. The equipment includes one hundred and twenty hatching troughs having a capacity of over tell million eggs. A eentral floor drain, the full length of the hatchery, six feet wide and from eighteen inches to two feet in depth, into which the water from the troughs discharges, provides considerable space suitable for rdieving the troughs after the fry begin to hatch. The buildings include t~e ~uperintend~nt's dwellin.g,. which is a four room bungalow twenty five feet SIX mches by thirty fpet; hvmg quarters for the staff, which is a twostoried seven-roomed building, twenty-five feet by thirty feet, and a boat-house and landing stage. All the buildings, except the boat-house are constructed with concrete foundations and the hatchery with concrete floor throughout. Both ?wellings are mod.ern, with l?asements, hot-air furnaces and sanitary p!u.mbmg. The.cons~ructl~n was car~led on by day.labour, under the direct superVISIOn of the FisherIes reSident engmeer for British Columbia. The staff, both in the inside and the outside services were conscientious faithful and unsparing of personal effort in the discharge ~f their duties. Th~ various positions were made more attractive by the new classification which was applied from April.!, 1919, and several new appointments and prot'notions were made OIl merit, following open competition. Thirty-five main hatcheries eleven subsidiary hatcheries, six. sal~on. retaining ponds and thirty egg-collecting camps were operated. The distrIbutIOn of fish and eggs by species during 1920 was as follows:- STATEMENT BY SPECIES OF THE FISH AND FISH EGGS DISTRIBUTED DURING THE YEAR ENDED ON DECEMBER 31, 1920. t<> ;:: r-"" Species Green Eggs I Fry Eyed Eggs Salmo salar-Atlantic salmon .............................

Fishing for hatchery purposes was not begun in the Margaree river, Nova ~cotia, until September 4. Salmon, however, were plentiful, and one hundred and ninety-four were taken on the morning tide of September 14, before the pound net wa~ carried away by a freshet that was raging at that time. From September 14 until the end of the season unfavourable weather conditions were met with, and the pound net was damaged on several occasions. Notwithstanding these difficulties the collection of Pgg~ was increased by upwards of one million five hundred thousand over that of the previous year. The collection at the St. John pond was also increased by three hundred and sixty thousand eggs. A record was established at the Miramichi pond, where the preceding season's collection was exceeded by three million five hundred thousand, and the best previous collection by over four hundred thousand eggs. Nearly four thousand five hundred salmon and a large number of grilse were taken during a period of seventeen days in ten nets that wprp operated for hatchery purposes. Extreme freshets, that exceeded anything in the memory of the local residents, occurred late in September, flooded the river banks, tore out the retaining fences, and caused the escape of the parent fish from the New Mills, New Brunswick, and the York river, Quebec, retaining ponds. The loss was to a small extent made up by seining the pools of the Little Main river, Restigouche, New Brunswick, and the Barachois rivpr, Quebec. This work was carried on under great difficulties, as climatic conditions were unfavo.urable, and the rivers in flood. A marked improvement was also effected at the Tadoussae pond, Quebec, where the collection of eggs was illlTl'ast'd from less than one-half million in 1919 to over two and three-quarter million in 1920. The collection in the Morell river, Prince Edward Island, exceeded the best previous collection by over two hundn'rl thousand. This collection has increased steadily each season from one hundred and thirty-two thousand in 1917 to one million' one hundred and twenty-three thousand in 1920. The t~tal number of eggs was !lot as large as the best previous collection, but l'xc('f'(ied that of 1919 hy over two and three-quarter million. An exehange of six hundred thousand eyed Atlantic salmon eggs for an equal number of eyed rainbow cutthroat and brown trout eggs was arranged with the United States Bureau of Fisheries. Ouananiche or land-locked salmon eggs, to the number of sixty thousand were eollrcted in the Metabetchouan river, lake St. John, Quebec, by the Tadoussac, hatchpry staff. Prospects were promising in the early season, but the work was brought to an end when tl1f' fish were coming on to the spawnina beds in largest numbers by the regular boats, which cater to the summer tourist traffic, being ta~en off the Saguenay route. This was the only feasible way last season to brmg gr!'en eggs from the Metabetehouan to existing hatcheries. The eolleetion was divided between the Tadoussac and St. John hateheries. The following statement gives the number of salmon eggs collected and their disposal up to December 31, 1920:- 7 Collection Point Magaree pond .................. . Miramichi pond ................ .

SPECKLED TROUT Speckled trout are handled in small numbers, and as a side line to commercial species, in most of the Maritime Province hatcheries. With the exception of the Margaree, Middleton, Kelly's Pond and Tadoussac hatcheries, the collection of such eggs was confined to the hatchery water supply ponds and to trout that were taken in the nets operated for parent salmon. Several hundred sea-run trout were taken in the river in the immediate vicinity of the Margaree hatchery. A' large percentage of these fish were apparently barren, and the collection of eggs small, although larger than it has been for several years. An unsuccessful effort was made to obtain eggs in the headwaters of the Mersey river, Nova Scotia, ·and low water with cold, stormy weather militated against a large collection for the Kelly's Pond hatchery, Prince Edward Island, where the parent fish are caught and retained at a given rate per fish in several of the smaller streams. An initial effort on a small scale was made in Lac Jacques from the Tadoussac hatchery. The following summary shows the extent of the collection:-Hatchery Margaree.......................

WHITEFISH A record was established in the number of whitefish eggs obtained, which was over two hundred million greater than the collection of last year. The previous year's collections were exceeded in all areas, except Port Arthur, and the best previous records were exceeded in the bay of Quinte, Georgian bay, and the lake of the Woods. 8 Five pound nets operated by the department for hatchery purposes in the reserve in the bay of Quinte yielded upwards of one hundred and ninety million eggs. Stormy weather with floating ice interfered with the operations towards the end of the season, when at times some of the nets could not be fished for two or three days in succession. The twine and equipment received considerable damage, and had weather conditions been more favourable the collection could readily have been increased to a considerable extent. Whitefish were so scarce in the Detroit river and the extreme westerly end of lake Erie that the camp that has been operated for years on Bois Blanc Island was closed, as the number of fish being caught did not warrant further operation. Over twenty-two million whitefish eggs were collected by the fishermen of Pelee Island, sixteen million were obtained from fish that were retained in Kingsville harbour, and twentyseven million were collected by the fishermen in the Kingsville district. The total collection in this area was som~ thirty million greater than that of last year. This increase was due' to the eggs obtained on Pelee Island. Previous to last season, most of the eggs from this sourCe' went to the United States hatchery at Put-in hay. Tht' unusually mild weatht'r mt't with at Bad river, Georgian hay, intt'rfered to some extent with the colled.ion of egg~, as the parent fish fir~t tahn and which were impounded at the \l~ual time hardened in the retaint'r~ and yielded few eggs of poor quality. :\"otwithstanding this condition, the hest previo\l~ collection was t'xct't'ded by over ten million. A pound-net wa~ St't in the Kaministikwia river, lake Superior, for hatchery purposes, but without rE'sults, although it was rdained throughout thE' whole SE'f(SOIl and until it was carriE'd away by fJ"t'~hd~ latt' in NovE'mber. The operations in Lob~tick and \Yhitefish bays, lakE' of thE' \Yoods, \wrt' brought to a sudden E'nd b~' thE' freE'zin!!: up of tht' bays Oil :\" owmbE'r 17. Owing to thE' unusually mild season the fish did not develop at the usual time and many were still hard and unripe when opt>rations were brou!!:ht to a close by the cold weathE'r. The collection, however, was grt'att'r than that of any previous year since the work was undertaken in the lakt' of the \\" oods distril·t. Forty million eggs were obtained from pound-nets and fourteen million from gill-nets operated by the hat(:her~' staff. The ol)('ratitlll~ at Dauphin rivE'r, lakE' \YinnipE'!!:, were also brought to a sudden close by a heavy snowfall and se YE' re frost on "'ovE'mbE'r 13. At that time the crates and po'und-net pots, in which th\· parE'nt fish were retained, were covered with about five inel1\'~ of ice. C"lIsiderable difficult v was met with in breaking through the ice alld slush in the narrow channels in' ('oll\'('ying the ("g!!:s to POlllts where th('y could be ;;hipped by rail. 1\utwithstanding these ("{)ndititlll~, tht' previou~ year's collt·l·tion, which was also brought to a suddpn dose before the end of the SE'a~UIl h~' advt'!"";l' w('ather ("onditions, was ('xceedpd by almost one hundred million. ~illlilar weather conditions prevailed at \yatt·rhen river, lake ~rinnip('gcs:~, and op('rations there were brought to a RuddE'Il pnd by thE' fret'zll1!!: up of the lah on November 12.

An unusual scarcity of cisco was reported on the spawning grounds, of which jumbos formed a small proportion. The eggs obtained from the Port Stanley tugs, amounting to nine and one half million, were handed over to the provincial hatchery at Normandale. The balance, about twelve million, were placed in the Kingsville hatchery. The eggs were collected and disposed of as follows;Number Collecting Area of eggs Disposal Collected Lake ErieErieau ....

The weather was so cold as to retard normal development, and the eggs from fish first caught were consequently below the average in quality and number. Pickerel were fairly plentiful in the Sarnia district in the early spring, and prospects for a large collection of ef.!;I!:S 10 were promIsmg. When the spawning season arrived, the commercial catch had fallen off and the egg collection was in proportion thereto. Weather conditions were also ('old and unfavourable in the Georgian bay, and floating ice and contrary winds confined the staff to a comparatively small portion of the Rpawning grounds in lake Winnipeg in the neighbourhood of Gull harbour. \rith the ('xc('ption of Kenora and Sarnia, the collection in all areas was below the average. At Kenora, three tamps were operated and upwards of one hundred and six million eggs were obtained, which is only two million less than the jJ('~t previous collection.

A larger number of parent ~almon reached the district than in any year sinep eggs ,,'prp collected thf're for hatchery purposes, and, in addition to a rf'cord colleetion, thf' spawning grounds were well seeded. Th!' run of cohoe was larger than that of last year, while spring and ('hum salmon were present only in small numbers. The run of sockeye to Cultus lake was intermittent in its occurrence and only a fraction of that of the last two years, while chum salmon werp plentiful. Sockeye were comparatiyely scarcE' in ~Iurris creek and at the Harrison Lake hatchery, although they WE're more plentiful than they were in 1916. On the other hand, :"ol'keyl' were plentiful in the Harrison rapids, but the majority were small in "ize and passed through the mesh of the nets, so that the usual number of parent fish were not taken. The run of spring was up to the average, while the number of chum was larger than has been seen in the district for a long time. More sockeye reached the Birkenhead riYer and Pemberton district last season than for thirteen years previously. The Pemberton hatchery was filled to capueity and the natural spawning grounds were well seeded. It is estimated that not less than two hundred thousand soch\'(' reached the' district. Sockeye also appeared in larger numbers than they have for years in various other sections of thf' Fraser. Th('~' Wl're present in considerable numbers in Silver creek and lake and American Bar creek, near Hope; the best run in ~'ear~ of both spring and sockeye occurred in Bear lah and t:pper Bear river; there wa:" an excellent run of f-,ocb'~'(' in thl' Q\j('~nd river, and a goodly number reached Chilt'oten river and lake, Tatla lake and several of the smaller tributary streams; there was a vast improvement compared with recent year:-; in the run to Shu:-;wap lah and it:" tributaril's and an encouraging number of the different specin; reached ('Iearwater riwr and lake. While sockeye W(']'t' more plentiful in the Fraser generally than they were la:-;t year, the colleetion of such eggs was not as large. This was larg!'ly due to the failure of tllP expected run to ('ultus lake to materialize. This is a late run, and when it did not appear at the usual time the season wa:" too far advanced to extf'nd thp operations in other districts.

One of the most successful seasons since the hatchery was established was met with at Rivers Inlet. Weather conditions were favourable, and, with the single exception of Genessi creek, all the sockeye tributaries of Owikano Lake carried a heavy run and the natural spawning grounds were abundantly seeded. The hatchery wa~ also filled to capacity, upwards of twelve million eggs being collected. Nearly one million eggs were collected at the mouth of the hatchery creek, where sockeye did not spawn before the hatchery was built. At Quarp creek, when the run was at its highest, there was a living mass of sockeye from the fence to the mouth of the creek, a distance of one hundred and fifty yardI', and for two hundred yards out on the lake great masses of sockeye could be seen. The collection was made in the following streams:260.000 10,855,000 962,000 Genessi Creek .. Quarp creek ....

Weather conditions generally on the Skepna river were unfavourable, Heavy rains and unusually high freshets occurred, which carried out the fence at the Babine and Lakelse lakes, and befor" thpy could be replal'Pl!, a large percentage of the ascending salmon had passed to the headwaters whl'n' the~' could not be captured. Conditions at Babine wen' somewhat similar to those of 1916, when a eomparatively light run occurn,d.

ATLANTIC SALMON SPRING AND AUTUMN FISH The run of early salmon that in the pioneer days ascended most of the rivers of the Atlantic coast in the spring of the years, and provided the anglers' sport has greatly decreased in numbers in some rivers, following deforestation, settle~ ment of the land and consequent changes in the water levels, volume temperature and oxygenation of the rivers, and more extensive fishing with nets by the com- 15 mercial fishermen in tidal waters. The season for net-fishing ends on August 15 in the Maritime Provinces and on July 31 in Quebec. The nets, therefore~ t~~ir toll entirel* from the spring and early s~l!!~er !ish and do nofdeciffiat~ the late summer an autumnJuns._ Angling was oelow tIle-average of recen years m the ¥argaree nver, while an abundance of salmon ascended in the ~~n, as is evidencedby the taking of one hundrea-ancCninety-four salmon m the hatchery net on the morning tide of September 14. These conditions suggested in the minds of those particularly interested in the angling, the possibility of the spring and autumn runs comprising two races of salmon. For the purpose of gaining some definite information in this regard, a number of salmon have been marked before they were liberated from the several retaining ponds yearly since 1913. The recapture of one hundred and twenty-nine of these marked salmon was reported up to December 31, 1920. Forty were caught before they returned to sea, and of the baianf'e, eighty-nine in number, nineteen were reeaptured in the first year, sixty-seven in the second year, and three in the fourth year after they were marked and liberated. The recaptures of clean fish that were marked at the Tadoussac, New Mills and St. John ponds were thirteen, six, and thirteen respeetively. All those fish were of the early run the year they were marked, as well as the year they were recaptured. As the hatehery net in the York river was fished through the summer the year that the single recapture from that distriet was marked, there is no record as to the run to which it belonged that year, but it was recaptured in the hatchery net on September 10. The twentg recaQtures from the Miramichi river were originally eaught and marked after eptember 15. Thj"ge were reeapt~red in June, five in .~ three in Ahg~st..J?~JQre t~ elg~9f the n~t-fishing on the 15, one on August 31, and eig t m hatchery nets after September 15. The thirty-six recaptures of clean fish from the Margaree were originally caught and marked after August 25. Ten were recaptured in June, thirteen in July, seven in August before the close of the net-fishing season on August 15, one on August 27, one September 4, one September 18, and three in the hatchery net, which is set about August 25. These recaptures, while limited~!!um~r., indicate that the ~pring and autumn fish do .. not comprise t~xace§...Qf. saL[[lon and thatlJeredity is not the e,redommating influence Trli:egard to th~seas~n_ or_ mopth at which salmon ascend our Eastern rivers, but, on the contrary, autumn salmon of any year is llIi:ely to be a spnng or early summer fish when it again returns to fresh water. In this connection, neighbouring rivers, similar in character, and in which salmon, particularly the spring run, have largely disappeared, are being systematically stocked, the one with fry from a river in which the run is predominantly early and the other with frY'from a river in whieh the run is predominantly late ~nd the early run has in recent years diminished. Steps have been taken to asc~rtain, by study of their scales, the age and life-history of the majority of the June salmon in one of the so-called late rivers, and the age and month that the young salmon go to sea in largest numbers in several of the more important salmon rivers. This question of the different runs of salmon in relation to artificial propagation and close seasons has also been referred to the Biological Board for investigation and study. RESULTS Fish culture is lonz-~e experimental stage, and its efficiency in maintainiri-g-and replenishing the fIshenes is beyond ques~ion, provi?ed reas~nable protection is given ani the brood stock necessary to furmsh the reqUlred eggs IS preserved. The good effects of fish culture in Canada are apparent on all sides. Very few salmon were seen in the Prince Edward Island rivers before the Kelly's Pond hatchery was established, but, as a result of its distribution, the rivers I 16 and larger brooks of the Province were practically teeming with salmon last spawning season. No difficulty was experienced in collecting one million ~ggs in the Morell river where none had been taken for over twenty years, prevIOus to 1917. The Pedtcodiac river, N.B., after ractic . s carried a good run of salmon for several years ]2ast. Tne ashwaak, N.B., was depleted 0 sa mo?, but as a result of systematic stocking, begun in 1913, grilse were taken there In 1917 and the residents have never before seen such a run as there was last autu~n. In his report for 1871, the fishery officer stated that the Main Restigouche river furnished angling for four rods. At the present time there is an average of one hundred and fifty rods on the river during the angling season, every pool is leased, the rentals of the river and tributaries amount to about $20,000 annually, and, in addition, the various clubs and lessees disburse about $100,000 yearly in the district. Salmon are also reported to be getting more plentiful in thel"rivers of western Nova Scotia that have been stocked from the Middleton hatchery. Remarkable results have followed the distribution of speckled trout fingerlings in Eel lake, Grand ::\lanan island, where trout were not previously found. Several thousand fingerlings were distributed in the lake in 1916. Within a year many were caught twelve and thirteen inches long; in the second year, two pounds, twelve ounces; and in the third year three pounds, five ounces in weight. As a result of the hatcheries operated by the Federal and State Governments the whitefish fishery of lake Erie has recovered from a ~tate approaching depletion. The whitefish fishing of lake Ontario ha~ increased ten-fold in twenty years, and whitefish are being re-established, and pickerel were more plentiful last autumn than they have been for twenty years in the southerly part of Georgian bay as a result of the Collingwood hatchery. This improvement has come about in the face of the removal some years ago of close season!" in the Great Lakes. The results from the hatcheries in lake Winnipeg are equally good, as the catch of whitefish per net in lak!' Winnipeg in 1919 wa~ larger than it ever was. Young catfish transferred from the Red river are thriving in several prairie lakes that previously contained no fish, and pickerel fry from the Gull Harbour hatchery are showing up well in lake Killarney. Raspberry lake, which did not previously contain whitefish, was stocked from the Fort Qu'appelle hatchery in 1918, And two years later whitefish of two pounds weight were taken. Premier lake, B.C., was stocked with kamloops trout fingerlings from the Gerrard hatchery, and three and five years later trout were taken of eleven and thirty pound weight, respectively. Loon lake was also stocked from this hatchery in 1914, and four years later kamloops trout, sixteen pounds in weight, were taken. Paul and Pin-an-Tan lakes, stocked from the Granite Creek hatchery, are yidding trout of nineteen pounds. Although the Fraser river as a whole is in a serious stage of partial depletion and the situation cannot be succf'~sfully handled except by proper international co-operation, the conditions that do obtain are a testimony to the good work of the hatcheries, inasmuch as the upper waters where no hatcheries are operated were practically depleted for several years pai't, while good and increasing runs have occurred in the lower water where hatcheries are located. There was a larger number of spawning sockeye in the Birkenhead river last year than there has been for thirteen years past. It is estimated that not less than two hundred thousand reached this area. In 1919, four million sockeye eggs were taken in Harrison lake at the outlet of the hatchery ponds where sockeye did not I'pawn previous to the building of the hatchery. Similiar conditions obtain at Anderson Lake, Rivers Inlet and Babine Lake hatcheries. Thf' run to the hatchery creek, Babine Lake, has steadily increased since the harchery was built. Nearly ten million eggs were taken there in 1919. The Coquahalla was not a Rockeye stream previous to 1913. It was stocked with fry in 1915, and it is estimated that not less than seventy thousand sockeye 17 entered it to spawn in 1919. Conditions in Pitt lake and river have steadily improved since that hatchery was built. Two and three-quarter million sockeye eggs were collected there in a limited area in 1920, as against five hundred thousand in the best year previously. Eastern speckled trout and whitefish have been introduced and established in suitable waters in British Columbia. Whitefish hatched from la~e Erie eggs have been taken over four pounds in weight in Hick's lake, and encouraging results are apparent from the spring salmon distributed in lake Ontario. The introduction of bass and other fish of predatory habits into salmon and trout areas, on account of the harm that might be done to the young of these species, is discouraged. The run of sockeye to Anderson lake, Vancouver island, was fifty per cent greater than it was in the previous year, and was the best for ten years past. It is estimated that not le;.;" than seventy thousand sockeye reached the spawning areas of the lake. ~Conditions similiar to the few here referred to obtain in all districts where hatcheries are operated.
