Saving Fish That Stray in Flood Time
The 1920 floods along the Mississippi prompted federal and state action to rescue food fishes from overflowed lands. The Bureau of Fisheries saved about 180.85 million fish from July to November, returning most to open waters at collection sites. Cost averaged under 20 cents per 1000 fish rescued and planted, with the rest allocated to supplying bass for applicants and commissions.
