Synopsis

Twenty-First Annual Report of the Commissioners of Fisheries unfolds the state’s 1891–1892 work in fish and shellfish management, policy, and enforcement.

This edition details operations, hatchery outputs, and the finances behind New York’s fishery program, with insights into how laws and practices affect fish, shellfish, and the people who depend on them.

The report offers a practical look at the year’s activities, including how hatcheries raised and distributed fry, yearlings, and adult fish, and how the shell-fish department operated under new conditions. It also includes discussions of shad distribution, clam supply and pricing, and the ongoing debate about fry versus yearling planting.
What you’ll experience

• Details on fish distribution, egg and fry production, and related costs.
• Accounts of shell-fish management, oysters, and enforcement efforts by game and fish protectors.
