BUCKSPORT, ME. March 31, 1885 ARTICLE VI METHODS EMPLOYED AT CRAIG BROOK STATION IN REARING YOUNG SALMONID FISHES By Charles G. Atkins, Superintendent U. S. Fish Commission Station at Craig Brook, Maine. _Bulletin of the United States Fish Commission_, Vol. 13, Pages 221-228, 1893. The station of the U. S. Fish Commission at Craig Brook was founded in 1889, on the same site where, in 1871, the first attempt at the artificial spawning of salmon in the United States was made. This site had been selected by the commissioners of fisheries of the States of Maine, Massachusetts, and Connecticut for that experiment because of its proximity to the salmon fisheries of the Penobscot River and the facilities presented for the maturing of the spawn that might be obtained. The collection of spawn has been carried on in the vicinity annually from 1871 to the present time, with the exception of the three years 1876,1877, and 1878, and since 1879 the development of the spawn has been conducted constantly at Craig Brook. No attempt was, however, made to rear the fry of any species until 1886. Two years later it was definitely determined to found a permanent station at Craig Brook, and in 1889 the purchase of the grounds was effected and permanent improvements begun.
