Fish rescue trap designed by G. R. Holman. The whole flow of a small tributary stream which has dried up in its lower portion is diverted into a mesh box placed at the terminal end of the flow. The down- stream migrating fingerlings are trapped and removed each morning. Fish rescue is an incidental pro- gram of the crew working in the North Coast area. During May and June, 1952, a total of 19,400 steelhead and 3,998 silver salmon was rescued. WARM-WATER FISHES The reproductive potential of the warm-water fishes (principally the black basses, sunfishes, and catfishes) is generally recognized to be so great that stocking for maintenance is unnecessary, and may actually be harmful. The warm-water fisheries program of the Bureau of Fish Conservation is consequently directed toward finding ways of increasing production in existing waters and creating new fisheries.
