| Summary |
"New England Salmon Hatcheries and Salmon Fisheries in the Late 19th Century" by an unspecified author appears to be a detailed scientific publication written during the late 19th century. This book focuses on the development of salmon hatchery techniques and the management of salmon fisheries within New England, specifically examining the state of salmon production, breeding methods, and the challenges faced by these fisheries during a period of significant ecological change. The content of the book provides an in-depth analysis and documentation of various aspects of salmon fishing and breeding practices, highlighting specific articles on the history of artificial propagation of salmon, including notable attempts from rivers such as the Penobscot and Kennebec. It records responses from fish commissioners, describes methods for capturing salmon for breeding, and details the establishment of hatcheries. In one noteworthy section, it discusses the trials of breeding salmon in closed environments, emphasizes successful practices, and outlines the economic implications of these fishery practices for the region. The overall narrative showcases not only the technological advancements in salmon hatcheries but also the ecological and commercial challenges that affected salmon populations in New England during the late 19th century.
