XI. 1824—Beginning of Fish Culture 7 Bohemia.—I\n 1824, in the 
duchy of Horazdovic, in Bohemia, successful experiments in salmon 
culture were carried on by Director Studeny, the young fish dying 
when fingerlings. [FRITSCH: Die Flussfischerei in Bohmen, Prague, 
1871, p. . HAPKE: op. cit., p. 162.) In 1853, a new interest was 
awakened in Bohemia by the experiments of Prof. Purkynje in trout 
culture. 
XII. 1837—Begznnings of Fish Culture in Great Britatn.—In 1837, 
Mr. John Shaw, after studying for several years the habits of the 
spawning salmon, succeeded in fecundating their eggs and raising the 
young fish to the age of two years. His experiments, though under- 
taken chiefly to demonstrate the identity of the fishes known as the 
parr and the smolt with the young of the salmon, were of great import- 
ance in the development of fishcultural science in Great Btitain.

Gottlieb Boccins claims to have successfully raised young trout at 
Chalsworth and Uxbridge, England, as early as 1841. [Bocctus, GoTT-

In 1854, the Brothers Ashworth hatched 260,000 young salmon at 
Lough Corrib, in Ireland, and soon after similar enterprises were un- 
dertaken for the River Tay, by Mr. Ramsbottom, and for the Dee, by 
Mr. Ayrton. 
XIV. 1842-1844—Experiments of Remy and Gehin.—In the year 1842, 
according to various French authorities, an illiterate fisherman, named 
Joseph Remy, living in the mountains of Vosges, after studying for 
some years the spawning habits of the trout in the brooks about his 
home, succeeded in fecundating and hatching their eggs, and in feed- 
ing the young fish until they were old enough to shitt for themselves. 
In the latter part of his undertaking he had an associate named Antoine 
Gehin. These fishermen were actuated solely by professional zeal,
