Subsecuent plantings. have been made in numerous systems to augment sports fish populations, but the policy has generally been to stock brown trout in rivers where few or no Atlantic salmon have been angled. There :?.re also indications that brown trout populations have become estIlished in unstocked rivers through migration of sea-run trout from adjacent systems. Lein and Scott (1966) recorded distribution of brown trout in the following Nova Scotia river systems: Maccan River (Harrison Lake), Cumberland County; Clam Harbour River, a, ys- borough River and Salmon River, Guysborough County; Corn•:f - llis River, Kings County; Merigomish area (which includes Barn ys, French and Sutherland's Rivers), Pictou CoUnty; and Mersey River (which includes Kejimkujik Lake), Queens County. This report summarizes the known distribution of brcn trout in Nova Scotia as determined from hatchery distribu t ion records and angling records kept by the Federal Departmec:t of Fisheries, Halifax.

A. RODD, Director of Fish Culture Fish cultural operations in 1941 were carried on by the Department of Fisheries in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, where the fisheries are entirely, or to a large extent, under federal administration. In addition over 1,000,000 sockeye salmon eyed eggs were planted in Hillier Creek, Maggie Lake, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in continuation of the stocking effort, resumed in 1937, to add these waters to the sockeye producing areas of the Barclay Sound district. Thirteen main hatcheries, one subsidiary hatchery, six rearing stations, six salmon retaining ponds and several egg collecting camps were operated. The total output from these establishments was 29,635,654, over 83 per cent of which was distributed in the fingerling and older stages. The output by species, hatcheries and provinces was: STATEMENT BY SPECIES OF THE FISH AND FISH EGGS DISTRIBUTED FROM THE HATCHERIES DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1941 Year- Total Species Eyed Advanced Finger- Rugs and Dis- Eggs Fry fry lings Older tribution • Salmo salar—Atlantic salmon 100,000 2,894,500 12,086,153 90,684 15,171,337 Salmo irideus--Rainbow trout 386,645 223 386,868 Cristivomer namaycush—Salmon trout. 67,550 67,550 Salmo salar sebago—Sebago salmon. 39,235 39,235 Oncorhynchus nerka—Sockeye salmon.

No. Fs.4-357 ,('. - ~-- ···1 CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT SER VICE OR the Conservation and Development Service of the Department the fiscal Fyear 1957,53 brought many problems and required extra efforts. The increas, ing efficiency and expansion of the fishing fleets in British Columbia demanded closer supervision to guarantee sufficient salmon escapement. The valuable lobster and Atlantic salmon fisheries in the Maritimes Area continued to encourage efforts to break the regulations. Industrial expansion presented numerous problems for solution. Large dams such as that at Beechwood on the Saint John River, New Brunswick, and develop, ments such as that on the Somass River in British Columbia required constant vigilance. It is encouraging to report, however, that as more and more data are gathered and experience gained, better control is being exerted and solutions are being reached. In the year under review, numerous emergency problems were handled but there was still time to make a start in implementing long term policies of control and improvement. · Fish Culture Development Pacific Area Recruitment of almost eighty per cent of the much needed trained staff for fish culture work in the Pacific Area in the fiscal year 1957,53 made it possible to increase activities relating to the development of the salmon fishery, as well as to continue work on the growing number of industrial projects affecting this fishery.
