Q. Did you try a number of solutions ? 
EU eS. 
Mr. Titcomb: I have seen eyed brook trout eggs come in 
from field stations when half of them were dead. 
Mr. Clark: I am unable to see why they should be that way. 
Q. You have not operated field stations with brook trout 
eggs, have you? 
A. Ob, yes, I have. 
Mr. Titcomb: Of course the conditions vary, but there 
are field stations where you cannot get all good eggs, I do not 
care how well the matter is handled. 
Mr. Clark: Do I understand, Mr. Titcomb, that eyed eggs 
have come from the field station and 50 per cent of the eggs 
were dead after they were eyed ? 
A. No, the eggs were not dead, they were unfertilized eggs. 
Q. ‘They were white, were they? 
A. They turned white in transit. 
Mr. Clark: Why were they not allowed to turn before be- 
ing shipped ? 
Mr. Titcomb: They cannot sometimes stop to do that, where 
os at a field station, 
¢ 
they are handling millions of brook trout eg 
with probably only one man to do the work. 
Mr. Clark: Of course, if there is not help enough it is 2 
‘different question.
