On the whole, it may safely be said that this 

 apparatus, very valuable though it may be in the hands 

 of a professional pisciculturist, is but little suited to 

 the wants of the amateur ; and should he take the

 wide berth. 



At the Great International Fisheries Exhibition 

 many very ingenious apparatus were exhibited by the 

 various States represented ; but they nearly all required 

 professional skill, in some cases mechanical power, and 

 were, in nearly every instance, more adapted for the 

 service of a State Hatchery than for the use of private 

 individuals, for whom, and for whose benefit alone, 

 these chapters are written.
