Any difference in temperature between stream and can must be gradually equalized.

State, is particularly advisable prior to the installation of a rearing station.

While rearing stations are not to be lightly undertaken, the results that they bring in better fishing well justify the labor and expense that they involve.

Pollution

All those who are interested in the conservation of the aquatic life of the State realize that pollution of our watercourses must be kept at a minimum. There is no more precious gift of Nature than pure water. Yet many of our finest streams, and even some of the lakes, have become practically worthless as fishing waters through the agency of pollution. City sewage, as well as refuse from pulp and lumber mills, dye works, gas plants, dairy plants, metal factories, and various other manufacturing establishments, have long since spoiled the larger rivers. Even small trout streams are not safe from the drainage of cesspools, barnyards, outhouses, kitchen sinks, and garbage heaps. Pollution is an important contributory cause of diseases among fish, so that those which are not driven away at first remain merely to succumb eventually to poison and infection. All waters in which fishing is desired must have their purity safeguarded. It is no exaggeration to say that the greatest menace to fish culture in New York State today is pollution of the waters.
