FISHCULTURE IN SCOTLAND. 



"VrSTE make the following extracts from the Dundee .4o!t'«»'- 

 Vt User of Oct. 6. No doubt, the Fishery described is a 

 large and a Hue one, but we doubt the statement that it is the 

 finest in the world. Our cousins of the British Islands do not 

 seem to be up in all the modern a.pph. a les ot dskeijrnre and 

 those familiar -with the subject will be apt to regard hatching 

 on glass grilles as a little behind the age, as well as the gravel 

 on which the eggs are afterward placed. The article savs: 



Howietoim Fishery, the property of Sir James Ramsay 

 Gibson Haitland, is situated about four miles south from 

 Stirling. The ponds have, been laid out on ground beside the 

 burn of Sauchie, from which the water supply is obtained. 

 Their construction was begun in 1 ST4, and the "idea of their 

 formation was first suggested in 1S7S in course of a difference 



about -ionic 1 nsll ■■ I i,_,ltiu, aa., I .etc ..-en [Sli .fumes J till' tlt'i.llil 



and the late Mr. Frank Buckland. 



Fishculttu-e, under the fostering care of Sir James Maitland, 

 has made wonderful progress within the last ten years, and 

 nothing proves this more conclusively than a contrast of the 

 old-fashioned hatching grounds and processes at Stormontfield 

 with the improved met hods adopted at Howietoun. Hatching 

 the ova in woodeu boxes was the plan pursued at Stormont- 

 field, but hatching on tubular glass grilles is an umnense im- 

 provement on this system, and at this moment the new and 

 spacious hatching houses at Howietown are capable of incu- 

 bating, and do incubate, from eight to ten million ova per an- 

 num. The proprietor is now in a position to stock all the rivers 



in Scotland successfully and with certainty, because what is 

 done at Howietoun is done to a large extent bv nature, and 

 no better pattern than nature gives has yet been 'discovered or 



The new system is much more expensive than the old. but 

 it is iniicb more satisfactory, and the oninion of Sir James is 



that if the lishe 

 must be done o

 and all the expense and trouble 

 avoided. 



After inspecting the hatching houses the visitor returns to 

 tin- main road, ami a short, distance down crosses t be Sauchie 

 Burn, which at this point is tapped, and feeds the ponds with 

 the water necessary for breeding purposes. Here the inspec- 

 tion of the ponds proper begins, aud the first thing that 

 strikes the visitor is a little water-wheel, which, by an in- 

 genious arrangement, keeps constantly in motion a series of 

 levers, attached to the outer ends of which are perforated 

 boxes containing prepared food for the vouug fry. The 

 motion imparted to the boxes shakes out the food, and it is 

 curious to watch the thousands of tiny fishes .-warming about 

 and devouring the food as it is shaken from the moving 

 boxes. 



Our space forbids quoting more than the following on I he 

 Sain linns /vnttnali.". the article further savs: The first of 

 the ponds contains thousands of fry of our Lochleveu trout, 

 and a handful taken out with a net shows them to be in prime 

 condition — fat, plump, and healthy, aud stronger looking and 

 more lively than their companions in the next pond, the 

 young of the American brook trotit, which, however, are fine 

 fish, and promise to become a specialty of Howietoun. The 

 Fontinalis, also known as charr, come from New Hampshire. 

 Anglers will be sorry to learn that they are not good risers, 

 as they generally feed at the bottom on the water 'ilea [Eoph- 

 niapulcec). 



Their general introduction into this country was at one time 

 regarded as very improbable owing to the expense of transit; 

 but at Howietoim they have been carefully reared, until now 

 any number of ova, fry, and young fish can be supplied from 

 the. parent stock. They are .specially adapted for reservoirs, 

 where animalcuhe have to be cleared out, and it was humor- 

 ously suggested by one of our party that ins tea...! of spending 

 thousands of pounds in filtering operations ttt Monikie and 

 Crombie, the Dundee Water Commissioners should spend a 

 few pounds in stocking the ponds at these places with Fonti- 

 nalis, thereby obviating the neces-it-, of having a filter at all. 



When the meat is thrown in among these youngsters the 

 peculiarity of their "rising" is at once observable. They come 

 from the bottom straight up with a rush, as if they were 

 arrows shot from a bow, seize the bait, and descend' again 

 with lightning-like rapidity. In angling for the Fontinalis 

 with fly there would bo no necessity for the angler to strike. 

 The fish, if it was in a taking mood, would hook itself, and 

 all the angler would have to do would be to cast the lure 

 within seizing distance. They come up to feed, but not with 

 nearly the same rush and avidity as the Loch Leveners. Sev- 

 eral were taken out with the net, and a brief examination be- 

 fore their return to the water showed that they were of fine 

 shape, and beautifully colored and spotted. One peculiarity 

 is their teeth, which 'are small, and of mesh-like formation, 

 something Uke the mouth of the whale.
