Much of the work of obtaining eggs is carried on in the field at 
temporary substations. These are provided with the equipment 
necessary for collection work only, and few of them are maintained 
as plants for incubating eggs. Transfer of eyed eggs to the main 
stations as soon as the season closes is necessitated by the need for 
economy. The development of new fields of this type and the 
securing of more eggs from those already in operation are probably 
the chief hope for a greater output of fish, inasmuch as the supply 
of eggs from other sources is limited.
