Downey, of Frederick County, the Commissioners of Fisheries of Maryland, for 1900-1901 Sir: We have the honor to present herewith the biennial report of the Fish Commissioners of Maryland, for the years 1900 and 1901, as required by the laws of this State. Since your Commissioners assumed their duties in May, 1900, they have been active in promoting and extending the work of the department. We found the Commission badly crippled in many ways, but we have the satisfaction of reporting to you that we have made many improvements and additions in apparatus, boats, etc., to facilitate the work of artificial propagation of fish. In the two years past we have not had sufficient money to do the work as it ought to be done. Our predecessors under Governor Lowndes stated this inadequacy of funds very plainly in their report, yet we feel that we have done work of great value to the State, and have given ear to every demand upon us for fish. We have been very successful in the distribution of shad, perch, trout aud bass fry. The spawning season of 1901 was the worst ever experienced by the United States Fish Commission, the Commissions of other States, and our own, because of the difficulty in securing shad eggs, owing to the cold weather and easterly winds that prevailed during the Spring. For weeks at a time it was hardly possible to secure a million eggs, yet your Commissioners, by ardent and persistent work and the intelligent assistance of their deputies accomplished a work of which they feel a pardonable pride, and which is shown in detail in this report. We also feel gratified to know that this department, by our throwing open wide the doors and doings of it to the public, is more appreciated by the people of the State and better understood by them than ever before.
