centage of eggs are saved than by taking them in a fresh, uneyed state 

 direct to the hatcheries. We hope in time to be able to supply the hatcheries en- 

 tirely from our own traps and stations, for in this way we obtain eggs from wild 

 fish which are stronger and better than those obtained from brood fish held in 

 ponds, and that is the kind of eggs usually obtained when they are purchased. The 

 cost of taking eggs from our own traps is usually as much as when they are 

 bought, but the quality of eggs is better and the resulting fry stronger. From the 

 eggs taken from fish in our own traps we estimate that there is an output of fry 

 to the extent of more than 90 per cent.
