In Ms report to the state board of
fish commissioners, reporting for the
month of April, Fish Warden Van
Dusen says: "The Chinook salmon fry
raised at the Ontario salmon hatchery
thla past season hare alt been turned
into the Snake river, the total output
of the station being 22,660,235. In
planting of the. fry "extreme care w;
taken to scatter them as much as
slble and not overtax the food capac
lty of the river with any one batch.
The work of Mberating them began
March 3 and lasted until April 26, ex
tending over a period of 55 days. Dur
tng he month of March not to exceed
300,000 were turned out during any
one day, but during April the water
became considerably warmer, which
caused them to develop more rapidly,
and the average dally output was al
most 700,000. They were all taken as
fur as possible from the hatchery and
turned loose in the main water of the
Snake river. Recent experiments made
by the United States bureau of fish
ertes show that the chlnook salmon
fry begin their migration as soon as
they are able to swim. If thla be true,
and we have no reason to doubt it,
those that were raised and turned out
at thla hatchery thia season should,
with very few exceptions, make the
long Journey to the sea, for the waters
Schilling's of the Snake river have been quite
high and riley and afforded the heat
opportunity for them to keep out of
eight of their natural enemies." The
report adds that the cost of hatching
this number of fry waa JS838.73 an
average of S9 cents per thousand
which la much below the usual cost
of propagating salmon.
