I The annual report of the Depart- ment of Fisheries published for pre- sentation to Parliament contains statistics of the sheries for the sea- son of 1906, and preliminary reports on the returns of the shing `industry of Canada in the year just drawn to the most exhensive of the world, line besides innumerable lakes and streams. The eastern sea coast of the Maritime Provinces from the Bay of Fundy to the `Straits of Belle Isle covers a distance of 5,6oo'miles which is more than double that of Great Britain and Ireland, `while the salt water inshore area, not com- prising minor indentations, covers more than fteen hundred square miles, not including the numerous lakes in Manitoba and their western districts all stocked with excellent species of food sh. The whole cat- ch of sh in Canadian waters by Canadians, including sh products, seals, etc., during the season` of 1906 is valued at over $26,250,000 which, with the exception of 1905, was the largest year on record. Nova Scotia shows the largest catch of the pro- vinces, with British Columbia a very close second. The principal branches [of the Canadian sheries in their [order of production are as follows: a close. The sheries of Canada are- extending over an immense sea coast- V um I - emenu Ar th n Salmon,` cod, lobsters, herring, mackerel, white sh, trout, Haddock, pickeifel, halibut, sardines, pollock, srnelts, dains, etc., pike, oysters, stur- geon,_~ alewives, and eels. The late spring and stormy wea- ther seriously interfered with shing 3operations on the Atlantic Coast ;the past season. In the Bay of lFundy, however, the yield was still labove the average excepting in the lease of smoked herring. l H.
