EGG COLLECTIONS 



The eggs collected from commercial species, wild trout, and from 

 station brood stock constitute the raw material from which the dis- 

 tribution stock is produced. It will be noted from the following table 

 that the collections for the past 2 years were practically the same as 

 far as totals were concerned although there was considereable devia- 

 tion as between various species. A reduction in such forms as the 

 glut herring, some qf the Pacific salmon, pike-perch, yellow perch, etc., 

 was offset by a considerable increase in the take of cod eggs. The 

 fact that the distribution of fish was larger than the previous year 

 although there was a decline in the egg take indicates a greater 

 eflBciency and a higher percentage of hatch.
