Abstract
The salmon fishing industry of the Pacific Coast is dependent on the survival and propagation of 5 species of salmon which spawn in rivers of that portion of the North American continent extending from California to Alaska. The development of these rivers for power, irrigation, flood control and other projects has drastically reduced the natural spawning areas available to salmon. To prevent the extinction of these fish and the concurrent losses to the fishing industry, various State and Federal agencies have initiated a major program of artificial propagation. This area of animal husbandry has received little attention from nutritional workers and there is a paucity of information on the nutritional requirements of salmon. To supply this essential information the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service established the Salmon Nutrition Laboratory at Cook, Washington in 1952. This report represents the first of a series which will be presented from the laboratory.
