+ Hen Cannot Rival the Fish.

Information concerning the number
Of eggs produced by various species Of
fish has been limited mainly to rather
rough estimates. According to the ALL
gemeine Fischerei.Zeitung, some care.
full counts were made last year at the
Bavarian trout hatchery. The first in
vestigations were in connection with
common trout and rainbow trout: IS
specimens of the former and 81 Of the
latter were stripped and the spawn
counted. The older and heavier FISH
were found to have the most eggs
(ranging up to about 3,0OO), but tho
younger fish yielded decidedly larg-
er number Of eggs in proportion to the
weight Of the fish. The experiments
were repeated with perch (Perca
fluyiatilis), in this case the females
just about to spawn being killed and
the ovaries being removed and dis
sected. The number of eggs in perch
ranged from $40 for a. fish four
inches long up to 30.480 for one 1912
inches long; but in this species, also.
the number Of eggs per unit weight Of
fish Is much larger In small than in
large fish.-Scientiflc American.
