The average number of eggs in the streamside incubators was 7, 200 eggs per incubator. If streamside incubation were to be used as an alternate incubation strategy for a watershed or large river, a greater number of eggs would be needed per incubator. If the entire incubator was used it could potentially incubate 100, 000 eggs. It would be beneficial to investigate the potential of streamside incubators to incubate greater numbers of eggs. 3, record 4, English, - stream%2Dside%20incubator

(Maubois et al., 1969) Concentrate to 5-7 x original milk protein content, add both starter and rennet, incubate until both coagulation and lactic fermentation are complete, and ripen. MMV is most successful for some fresh and soft-ripened cheese varieties which have relatively low total solids and do not require rigorous pH control. It has been most successful for Feta cheese. The chief difficulty is that the MMV process produces close textured cheese which has led to two types of Feta :(1) Structured or conventional Feta and;(2) UF or cast Feta. The MMV process can also be used to manufacture cheese base to extend young Cheddar in process cheese formulations. 1, record 7, English, - MMV%20process
