TROUT EBB SHIPMENT REACHES
ROTUND IN PERFECT CONDITION
Fifty thousand Rainbow trout eggs,
«hipped last spring from the Madi
son river station at Meadowcreek to
the Netherland government, reached
their destination in virtually perfect
condition, according to a letter re
ceived by W. T. Thompson, superin
tendent of the hatchery, from H. Van
Aschvanlerack, Netherland charge d'
affaires at Washington, D. C.
Mr. Van Aschvanlerack declares
that the quality ctf the) eggs was
noticeably finer that that of previous
shipments from other sections. This
indicates, Mr. Thompson says, that
Montana "seed,'* whether from field
or stream, is just a little bit better
than that from any other territory.
The letter referred to follows;
"Royal Netherland Legation,
"Washington, D. C.
Dear sir: In accordance with, in
structions received from my govern
ment, I have the honor to inform you
that the consignment of 50,000 Rain
bow trout eggs have reached the
-Netherlands« he Heide-Maatschappij'
in perfect condition.
"The eggs were delivered cm May
19 last to the hatching house of the
»hove mentioned institution. After
«<
preparatory measures had been taken
upon arrival with regard to the inter
change of temperature (7°C of the
ease and 18°C of the hatching water)
it was stated that the transportation
bad caused but little loss, for accord
ing to verification by way of count
ing and measuring the consignment
appeared to consist of 47,000 eggs,
the transportation loss therefore be
ing only 1.2 per cent. The beautiful
color of the eggs was especially no
ticed. Later, after the hatching, a
greater loss was suffered owing to
the fact that several fish were dead
within the eggs. The 'Nederlandsche
Hekie-Maatschappij,' however, ; s
greatly satisfied with the results
which are very much more favorable
as compared with those obtained with
the first consignment received in De
cember, 1922.
"In connection with the foregoing
and at the request of the 'Neder
landsche,' I now venture to convey to
the Bureau of Fisheries its very best
thanks for the utmost care which has
