Number 1 A SECOND REPROT ON THE RETURN OF SALMON MARKED IN 1915, Page In the fall of 1919 a marking experiment was undertaken at the request of Mr. W. H. Shebley, in charge of fishculture, the purpose of which was to obtain additional facts relating to the life history of artificially propagated king salmon. Eggs were taken from Mill Creek, a tributary of the Sacramento River, in November, 1918, and hatched at Fall Creek Hatchery on the Klamath River in February, 1919. Approximately 250,000 of the resulting fry were placed in a rearing pond connected with the hatchery. These were fed and cared for until November, 1919, when they were liberated in Klamath River. In the meantime 25,000 of them were marked by removing the adipose and It is presumed that these fish, both marked and unmarked, made their way down the river and entered the sea shortly after liberation. 23291 |
