MARINE FISH HATCHERY AT FLODEVIG, NORWAY. 809 



Conclusion. — The above description refers to the Flodevig hatchery in its 

 present state. It would be a long story to mention all the experiments, success- 

 ful or otherwise, which step by step have led to the present condition of affairs. 

 It is sufficient to say that improvements have been made from year to year and 

 are still going on, so that the Flodevig hatchery, instead of being regarded as 

 an old institution, rather must be looked upon as a growing concern, capable of 

 further development. If the great expectations so justly combined with the 

 question of artificial propagation of marine fishes shall ever be realized to their 

 full extent, the work must be carried on upon an immense scale, and this will 

 first be possible when the expenses have been reduced to a minimum.
