PROPAGATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FISHES, 193 1137 



Assigtvments of fish eggs to State and Territorial fish commissions, fiscal 



year 1930 



SHIPMENTS TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES 



The forwarding of less than 2,500,000 trout eggs to four foreign 

 countries during the year represents a decline in this activity. Ship- 

 ments of eggs to Canada are involved in a transfer arrangement 

 whereby the bureau receives Atlantic salmon eggs. Of especial 

 interest was the shipment of eggs to Chile, which was accompanied 

 by the chief inspector of fisheries of that Government upon his return 

 from an official visit to this country. These shipments are the nucleus 

 of a carefully considered effort to acclimatize desirable food and game 

 fishes from the United States in Chilean waters.
