Excerpt from Contributions to Canadian Biology: Being Studies From the Biological Stations of Canada, 1918-1920Having completed and submitted my report 011 salmon material collected in 1916, I secured further material in 1917 and the present report is therefore a continuation of the preceding researches. All of the Pacific salmon again receive attention. In some respects the material was better for examination than that from the preceding year. Practically all of the scales were in good condition and as the material was obtained from a greater number of localities it gave'a better chance for comparison. For this diversity Of material I am indebted to the managers and employees of the canneries at Q'uathiaski, Lasqueti island and Nanaimo. The weight of the fish was taken in each case and that permitted the working out of a length-weight ratio for each species in each locality. The methods used were the same throughout as with the 1916 material.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
