About This Book

A practical manual for small-scale fish culture offering step-by-step guidance on stocking waters, selecting suitable species and sites, and building and managing hatching trays, rearing boxes, and ponds. It concentrates on Salmonidae—especially trout—detailing artificial spawning, care of ova, alevins and fry, feeding schedules, thinning, and turning out yearlings, and it considers rainbow and brook trout and char. The text also addresses enemies, disease, and remedies, treatments for coarse fish, and includes technical plans, apparatus suggestions, and practical tips aimed at the amateur fish culturist.
