NEW METHODS OF TRANSPORTING EGGS AND FISH
By WALTER S. KINCAID,
HANDLING GREEN EGGS OF TROUT.
NEW METHODS OF TRANSPORTING EGGS AND FISH – This method consists of packing the eggs in a case containing 4 trays, each about 8 by 20 inches, each tray containing 10 cells about 4 inches square, or 40 cells in each crate, the bottom of each tray covered with brass screen cloth to allow water to drain off and also to prevent rust.
Each cell carries 4,000 green trout eggs, and there are thus 160,000 in the entire crate. In packing the eggs in the cells, make a nest of moss in each cell; place cloth down firmly in cell, leaving top of cell open; pour just 4,000 eggs in cell, fold cloth carefully over them, and then fill cell to top with moss.
