Besides, it appeared that the reariiig station needed repairs 

 to a largo extent; the celluloid of the v/indov;s of the rearing 

 boxes had, for instance, become so brittle that it could not stand 

 the movement of the water, which '.vns caused by the rotation of the 

 propeller o 



Instead of. repairing the reading' station and continuing v/ith 

 this, I obtained the authorities* pen.iission to stop f\arther experi- 

 ments after Mead's system., and to dispose of that part of t he Jnaterial 

 Virhich could not 'be' used later on« ••• .. , 



At the same time I' rucomraende;! that v/e should start experiments 

 at the hatchery in order to investigate the problem' on a small scale 

 before we start working on a larger scale* 



The hatching of cod ?igs also been stopped this year, as I could 

 not get any gasoline for the motor boat. 



During the revenue year I have been busy yri.tH' preparation of 

 different scientific material. 



The report on fish eggs and yoving collected by Dr» Hjoirt on his 

 trip to Lofoten 1913 has been finished and is to be printed in 

 Report on Nor wegian Mar ine and fishery Investigations e Also the 

 material v;hich I collected in the spring 19^17 h'-'.s, been partly pre- 

 pared. As such a work is very exhausting if it is done with accuracy^ 

 it takes more time than could be desired before the results can be 

 printed; I hope, however, to get it finished the coning fall.

The hatching of lobster eggs was improved by putting the egg 

 lobsters into cod hatching boxes instead of removing eggs from lobsters 

 and circulating them until they hatched. The newly hatched larvae were 

 led to the mesh net by the wat or . curr ent . From 56 egg-bearing females, 

 a total of 28,000 young hatched, or about 500 per lobster. Although
