Treet*, the Hokkaido Exploitation Agency Carried out-hatching and release with a simple installation in Kairakueh Park in. Sapporo. (The first hatching and release in Japan was › aCcomplished.in the Naka River in Ibaraki Prefecture.in 1876.) 1878: A hatchery was established at the N.anaeExperimental . Station (present Nanae-machi, Kameda,-gun)...to,industrialize the . .hatching. ... 1888: The prefectural government Of Hokkaido-set up.the Central Hatchery in Ohitose-muta (present -Ohitoseshi)- after the model of American hatcheries. - The -government encouraged 'local fisheries associations of each water-system in Hokkaido to establish and /manage hatcheries convincing them of the • necessity of a hatching enterPrise. As a result, nine _ hatcheries were founded. 1890: During the - following three years, the prefectural governMent • of Hokkaido established hatcherieS in -Nishibetsu (present .•. Nijibetsu), ShibetsU, Rausu and_TOro (KUril'Islands).

The head office was put in Chitosaand branches.in Nishibetsu (present Nijibetsu station - Kitami (present. Yubetsu.station),.Etorofu and Kunashiri. Furthermore, 38 private hatcheries became enterprise run') at national expenditure. 1937: 8 private hatcheries in Hokkaido and 5 in the Kuril Islands were put at national expenditure. The total number of hatcheries - - reached 51. 1946: After the loss of Kunashiri and Etorofu e the organiza• ion comprised 1 head office, 5 branches and 42 stations. 1948: The enterprise came under direct management of the central government. 1951: The increase and decrease of salmon resources is very important internationally. Furthermore, salmon fisheries are divided into complicated categories covering a wide range. Hence • the national need of artificial-hatching enterprise, In - - 41. Dscembér, the law related to-the protection of marine resources was enacted. Article 20 of this law stipulates the nationaliza- tion- of artificial hatching and release . of . salmon.

A similar tendency is observed in the United States of America, Canada, the U.B.S.R. which surround the North Pacific Ocean. In these countries where the . resburces have been so.far maintained through natural spawning, propagation by .artificial hatching has gradually increased. In Hokkaido , . fishing is prohibited in specific zones on the coast of estuaries for the purpoSe of reinforcing these- measUres, Furthermore, the catch of salmoh in river is completely prohibited by the Hokkaido Surface Fisheries RegulatiOn. Due to-these measures . as well aathe improvement of technique, the rate of return is maintained at an average.of 1.30% producinda rising curve. al• •The n.umber of returning salmon by age in the same year _class (Hokkaido) • .
