ABOUT 



THE CRAY FISHERY, 



FOOTS GRAY, KENT, ENGLAND. 



THIS Establishment, now in its eighth year of existence, has 

 recently been enlarged to a considerable extent ; and the most 

 perfect systems of impregnation and incubation are in use in it. 



The feeding box of Mr. Silk, late of the U. S. Fish Commission, 

 wonderfully simple in construction and management, and successful in 

 output or result, undoubtedly the most important article shown at the 

 late Norwich Fisheries' Exhibition, is used there, and can be purchased 

 at a moderate price. 



The grewth of fry therein, if properly fed and managed, is very 

 surprising, and they live through very hot weather without injury even 

 up to 1 5th July. 



At this Establishment ONLY can be obtained ova and fry of the 

 strain of trout which gives the highest average of both weight and 

 quality in all England. Under favourable circumstances these fishes 

 have been known to attain the enormous weight of 12 pounds in 4^ 

 years a marvellously quick growth. 



The Proprietor of this Fishery, after much trouble and expense, has 

 thoroughly established the Gillaroo Trout of Ireland in his waters ; 

 next year there will be a copious supply of ova for sale. The beauty 

 and grand sporting qualities of this trout will ensure a large range of 

 purchasers of eggs and fry in future seasons. 



The Cray is now fully stocked with all the best strains of trout to be 

 obtained in this country ; should any fresh variety present itself to 

 notice, no pains or expense will be spared to secure a supply, and the 

 eggs for supply of other fisheries will be of large size and beautiful 

 colour, the parent fishes being favoured with a large and varied 

 assortment of natural foods as well as artificial diet. An abundant 

 supply of water is provided for the eggs, whereby, with strong impreg- 

 nation and strong parents, a good future is secured for their offspring. 



Hatching Apparatus on various principles and scales of the best 

 construction and all necessaries are provided at reasonable prices. 



Advice about hatching apparatus, the formation of hatching ponds, 

 sluices, and the other points in successful breeding of fishes, will always 

 be given. 



Having had many difficulties to contend with in his own case, the 

 Manager is in a position to point out means of saving expense, trouble, 

 and failure in those of others. 



" Trout Culture," by C. C. Capel, a little work highly reviewed by 

 the Press and valued by the public, will be sent post free to any enquirer 

 for 30 stamps, together with an illustrated pamphlet, giving the latest 

 information respecting the feeding and general management of fry, &c. 

 All communications should be addressed to the Manager, Cray Fishery, 



FOOTS CRAY, KENT, ENGLAND. 



CHARLES CAPEL, PROPRIETOR.
