It is only during the past two or three years that the Department _ has planted brown trout fingerlings to any extent, and although the results of the plantâ€" ings may be known, it is not in the best interests of conversation to publish the details until the fish become proâ€" perly established. The large distributions of trout in Algoma and Thunder Bay are the reâ€" sult of the establishment of a large troutâ€"rearing station in each district, each capable of distributing annually 1,500,000 fingerlings.

Does the reader recall that Thunder Bay conâ€" tains certain trout waters of outstanâ€" ding importance on the continent, and as a matter of fact, in the world? At least 80 per cent. of the brook trout eggs distributed later as fry, fingerlings, yearlings, etc., in the waters of Southern Ontario originate from breeders at the Northern Onâ€" tariq troutâ€"rearing stations and the field station on Lake Nipigon. If it were not for these sources of supply, reâ€"stocking in Southern Ontario would be greatly curtailed.

Experimental work on the culture of maskinonge fingerlings has been unâ€" dertaken, but the results accomplishâ€" ed to date are insignificant; in fact, practically nothing is definitely known of the actual requirements to rear this species successfully. It is well known that it is better to plant fingerâ€" lings and larger fish, and comparing the pond space devoted to bass culâ€" ture in Ontario with that elsewhere, it will be found that the quantity of bass fingerlings distributed by the Deâ€" partment in recent years is creditable.
