Summary
The 1899 U.S. Fish Commission distribution table lists 3,000,000 whitefish fry and fingerlings for “Lake Michigan, Beaver Island, Mich.” It is distinct from the report’s lake-trout egg-collection planning narrative.
Evidence and limits
The table supports a federal distribution entry associated with Beaver Island and a quantity of three million in the fry-and-fingerlings column. It does not say that those fish were collected at Beaver Island, identify a hatchery or release site, name personnel, or establish a continuing stocking history.
