The shipment of fish and eggs to foreign countries has been an inter- 
esting but unimportant activity of the Division for many years. While 
such ‘consignments bave been furnished gratis from available hatchery 
stocks, no expense has been incurred in forwarding the shipments. 
During the past year an initial shipment of 250,000 lake trout eggs 
was sent to Peru, as a start on a program of establishing this species 
in Lake Titicaca. Due to insufficient time for the necessary prepara- 
tion and scheduling of the shipment, the eges were a total loss. Rain- 
bow eggs were sent to England as a means of introducing new blood 
into the existent stocks of the species in that country. Rainbow trout 
egos and fry were sent to Costa Rica and Colombia as an experiment, 
with little success. As usual, rainbow eggs were forwarded to Puerto 
Rico in line with plans to develop angling as a means of attracting 
tourists to that island. 
There were additional inquiries from serveral other countries relative 
to securing some species of American fishes, but for various reasons 
no action was taken.
