U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 



EGG COLLECTIONS 



The majority of the fish handled by the bureau are distributed in 

 the same fiscal year in which the eggs are collected. Thus the same 

 tendencies are shown each year in both the distribution and egg 

 collection tables. Variations between egg collections of the past two 

 years are reflected mainly in the comparatively low collection of cod 

 and pollock eggs. The collection of grayling eggs at Grebe Lake, 

 Wyo., and of striped bass eggs at Weldon, N. C, marks the renewal 

 of operations with species which were not handled during the fiscal 

 year 1930.
