The purpose of this bulletin is to document the development of fish culture in California from 1870 through 1960. During this period, 170 hatcheries and egg collecting stations were constructed, and brief descriptions of many of these are given. Since only 25 installations were operating in 1960, the reasons for closing the other sites were determined when possible. Detailed descriptions of each of the major hatcheries operated in 1960 are presented.
