CULTURE AND CAPTURE. 295 



expanse of surface. The advantages claimed for the 

 system are numerous. We are told that greater 

 facility is afforded for counting the eggs ; that detec- 

 tion and expulsion of blind or unfertilized eggs is 

 made easy ; and that the rough edges of the glass 

 will enable the little strangers to extricate themselves 

 more readily from the egg membrane ; but all these 

 advantages are possessed by the perforated zinc 

 troughs, which have the additional recommendation 

 of being much simpler to manage.* 



Judging from the increasing interest that has of 

 late years been exhibited in this subject, we con- 

 fidently predict that the time is not far distant when 

 angling clubs, leaseholders, and proprietors of private 

 waters generally, will sow the seed, as well as reap 

 the harvest, by practising Pisciculture as well as 

 Piscicapture. 



* These and other requisites for the amateur pisciculturist are sup- 

 plied by the Cray Fishery Co., Foot's Cray, Kent ; from whom the 

 eggs also, as well as hatched fry and yearling fish, may be obtained.
