PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 1931 643 

 SHIPMENTS TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES 



Continuing the practice of recent years, trout eggs were shipped 

 to Canada in exchange for eggs of the Atlantic sahnon, the species 

 furnished consisting of black-spotted and Loch Leven trout spawn. 

 A shipment of 50,000 rainbow trout eggs was forwarded to England, 

 and Portugal received a consignment of 100 top minnows. The total 

 of 800,100 eggs and fish transferred to foreign countries during the 

 year was unusually small as compared with shipments in 1930 and 

 other years in the past.

OUTPUT OF STATIONS AND SUBSTATIONS 



During the fiscal year 1931 the bureau operated 38 stations and 

 49 substations, the latter including a number of locations which are 

 used only for short periods as bases for egg-collecting and fish-rescue 

 operations. In all cases the output shown is the result of closely 

 regulated operations, which are conducted to the fullest capacity of 

 equipment, limited only by natural conditions at the hatcheries and 

 by available funds. A new substation was established near Ithaca, 

 N. Y. In addition to the Federal stations and substations the follow- 

 ing table lists the Arkansas State pond station at Lonoke, Ark. 

 This station is operated under the supervision of an employee of the 

 bureau, and a sufficient number of fish to fill applications in its 

 vicinity are distributed by the bureau.
