As will appear from the above distribution of salmon fry, the work done by this
hatchery is extended over a field, probably as large as by any other hatchery in the
Doniinion. This Province being almost an island, has a greater extent of seacoast
in proportion to its area than is found in any of the Maritime Provinces. This coast
is indented with bays and inlets, some of which extend inland for many miles from
the general coast line, and offer innumerable fishing stations for the capture of
salmon.
