Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on Fish Culture, 1877
Sydney Hatchery, Cape Breton, reports a distribution of salmon fry in some eighteen of the most important rivers of Cape Breton. They were put out in the best possible condition, without accident, or loss worthy of mention. During the past autumn 554 parent salmon were captured and confined in pens, at the fishing stations on the Margaree, Sydney, Salmon, Middle and Lower Middle Rivers; 401 were females and gave eggs, or an average of to each female; these parent fish were returned to the river again in a lively condition a fence was built on the water line at the hatchery, and a new scow for transporting salmon. The building will require painting, and a new ?oor laid in the hatching room, next year.
