Trout E48* Arrive At
Kodiak Naval Station
First steeihead trout eggs of
the 1954 season arrived here
recently from the Karluk River
Camp, located in the northwest,
corner of Kodiak Island. The
egg taking operation at Karluk
is under the supervision of
Marcus W. Meyer, U. S. Fish
and Wildlife representative
from Juneau, Alaska. The eggs
have been placed in Kodiak’s
Conservation Club’s Devil s
Canyon hatchery, located on
the Kodiak Naval Station.
The only steeihead hatchery
in operation in Alaska, the Ko
diak hatchey is now the home
of 271.000 fish eggs, which are
being cared for by Fred W.
Bitle, fish culturist also from
the U. S> Fish and Wildlife
Service.
The eggs arrived trom ivar
luk in specially made con
tainers, which provide a maxi
mum amount of prote ction ! or
the soft jelly-like embryo. In
the early stages of fe filia
tion, the trout eggs are very
susceptible to rough treatment
i and, at this stage, any jar or
mishandling will kill them. It
isn’t until the eggs have
[ ‘eyed’, which takes 30 days,
that they enter what might be
classified as a safe stage,
r After the eggs are counted,
they are put in basquets,
which hold around 36,000 eggs
each. The basquets are placed
in troughs where there is a
continuous flow of water. The
process of counting is done ac- ,
cording to a pre-determined
set sc le of water displace
ment. The first group averaged
out 192 eggs per ounce. Ac
cording to Mr. Bitle, this
method of counting is almost
fool proof.
The operation of egg taking
at Karluk will continue until
the ’54 goal has been met. Af
ter the eggs are hatched, the
fish will be planted in the lake
and streams of Alaska, in co
operation with the U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service.
