Fresh-water Fish. 



29 



45. You may have seen enclosed in tin boxes 

 and packed in olive oil a great many very small 

 fishes. Do you know their name? Sardines. 

 They are caught in large quantities in the 

 Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean 

 Sea. 



46. All the fish which we have mentioned are 

 salt-water fish. I shall now show you a picture 

 of some fresh-water fish which men and boys de- 

 light to catch, the pike and trout (see page 27). 



47. This is a pike, 2 feet long and 3 inches 

 wide ; some are smaller and others larger. They 

 are caught in streams and lakes, and are deli- 

 cious for the table. 



48. Another favorite fresh-water fish is the 

 trout (here is a drawing of one about 16 inches 

 in length). Trout are caught by hook and line 

 in the streams of the New England, Middle, 

 and Western States, and Canada. 



They are usually found in swiftly-running 

 streams, swimming against the current. 



49. Did you ever see any fresh-water fish caught? 

 What kind? Where? Into what does that stream or 

 lake empty ? Did you ever see a salt-water fish caught ? 

 How ? Where ?
