Excerpt from Forty-Fourth Annual Report of the Commissioners of Inland Fisheries: Made to the General Assembly at Its January Session, 1914 The Commissioners herewith present their forty-fourth annual report, for the year 1913, which contains, as required by law, data and statistics with respect to the fisheries under their jurisdiction and such recommendations as they deem expedient. The fisheries in general have been in a quite prosperous condition. Especially can this be said of the lobster industry. Not only has there been a marked increase in the number of pounds taken from the waters of the state, but there has also been a great increase in the average number of pounds per lobster pot. This gain is due largely to the persistent enforcement of the lobster laws and to the rearing of young lobsters at the State Hatchery at Wickford. It is the Sincere hope of your Commissioners that the laws regu lating the general fisheries may be put in the same effective condition as those relating to the lobster industry. At present they are ambiguous, difficult to enforce and in many cases Obsolete. Your Commission recommends that a committee be appointed from your honorable body to assist them in drawing up new laws which Shall give the proper protection to these fisheries. Considerable interest has been Shown by' Sportsmen in this section of the country in the possibility of establishing rod and reel fishing for tuna in Block Island. Your Commission is very much interested in the matter and is doing all in its power to encourage it. More extended references to this valuable fishery is made on page 30 and following. The work of the Commission has followed the usual lines as outlined below, more detailed statements will be found in the body of the report.
