104 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
There were retained at the station, for rearing, 250,000; these were 
highly successful in hatching, producing an equal number of fish, which 
were liberated in the inland lakes of Michigan and Indiana May 3 to 13. 
Brook trout.—Through the courtesy of the officers of the Flint and 
Pere Marquette Fishing Club, arrangements were effected for obtaining 
adult brook trout from Kenne Creek, a stream controlled by them. The. 
fish were readily secured in October by two employees of the North- 
ville Station and Mr. George Brown, associated with the club. In four | 
days 415 were secured with hook and line and transferred to the station 
without loss. Kenne Creek was first stocked in 1880, and in the first 
season of fishing, 1892, more than 5,000 fish were captured, none measur- 
ing less than 6 inches. 
From original brood fish in ponds, 244,500 eggs were obtained from 
285 fish between October 26 and January 12, and from the new stock of 
trout, practically between the same dates, 41,600 eggs were taken from 
144 fish. There were retained for hatching 120,000, and transferred as 
exchanges, donations, or to other stations, 90,000, as represented below:

Loch Leven trout.—Among brood stock there was a reduction to the 
extent of about 400, chiefly on account of deaths, but partly from the 
transfer of the parent fish to the World’s Fair and to the aquarium at 
Washington, D. C. Between October 26 and January 16, 444,500 eggs 
were obtained from 764 spawning fish. There were retained for hatch- 
ing 118,000, consignments to other hatcheries being as follows:

Von Behr trout.—There having been no addition to the stoek of brood 
fish, a decline in eggs was perceptible. The spawning commenced Octo- 
ber 26, when 6,750 eges were obtained, and terminated January 7, the 
number taken on the last date being 1,750; the total product of 590 
fishes was 375,800. The number retained for hatching was 112,000, and 
the transfers, aggregating 225,000, were consigned as follows:
