* A Past View of Resources in the Lahontan Region
A discussion of the economic value of the fishes of this region and any consideration
of methods of propagation and protection must begin and end with the assumption that
agricultural and manufacturing interests are of paramount importance. A considerable
and constantly increasing amount of the flowing water must be used first for power
and then for irrigation, and when any measure intended for the protection of fishes
is found to seriously interfere with the working of power plants or the demands of
agriculture it will have to be abandoned. John Otterbein Snyder, Fish Biologist Bulletin of the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries
