Assignmeuls of fish mid fish eggs to State fish commissions, fiscal year 1936 — Con. 



TRANSFER OF EGGS BETWEEN STATIONS 



There is a great difference in the efficiency of hatcheries due to 

 varying local conditions. At certain points brood stock can be reared 

 most economically for egg production and these hatcheries are used 

 as sources of general supply for trout eggs for the entire Bureau. The 

 accompanying table showing the transfer of eggs between stations 

 will illustrate the extent of this practice. In some instances, as in 

 the case of the Creede, Colo., and Ennis, Mont., stations, the eggs are 

 collected from wild or semi- wild fish. This procedure has made it 

 possible to secure a stock of eggs from the Bureau's own resources 

 without the necessity of purchasing any from commercial sources.
