508 _aE-text prepared by Ronald Calvin Huber while serving as Penobscot Bay Watch, Rockland, Maine,
520 _a"The Salmon Fishery of Penobscot Bay and River in 1895-96" by Hugh M. Smith is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work examines the condition and extent of the salmon fishery in the Penobscot River and Bay during two specific years, highlighting the influence of artificial propagation on the salmon supply. The book is intended as a detailed report for the United States Fish Commission and provides comprehensive statistics, methods, and observations related to the fishery. In the report, Smith provides an analysis of the salmon fishery's extent and condition, reporting a significant increase in salmon caught in 1896 compared to the previous year. The catch details are meticulously documented, alongside the methods and apparatus used in fishing, such as nets and weirs. Additionally, the effects of natural and artificial factors, including the impact of seals on salmon populations and the results of various fish-cultural operations, are explored. Key observations were made regarding the challenges faced in securing spawning fish due to obstructions in the river and the positive effects attributed to artificial hatching efforts in sustaining the fishery. Furthermore, the report discusses the introduction of non-native salmon species into the region to enhance fishery resources. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
