The eggs taken at Uneva Lake turned out much better than those 

 collected at any of the other i3oints or from the brood fish at the sta- 

 tion, the loss during incubation being only 72,400. From the remainder 

 100,000 eyed eggs were shipped to North ville, and 358,500 fry were 

 hatched. The Wellington Lake trout eggs were probably injured by 

 the long haul over rough roads. Of the 592,000 collected there, 182,000 

 were lost in the hatchery, 50,000 eyed eggs transferred to other stations, 

 and 359,700 fry hatched. The advantage of spring water over creek 

 water was clearly demonstrated this season, the eggs from Uneva and 

 Wellington lakes hatching in from 72 to 73 days, whereas in previous 

 years, when creek water was used, the eggs were frequently in the 

 troughs from 140 to 160 days. 



The following table shows the number of eggs shipped from the 

 station and the number received during the year:
