Amateur Fish Culture

This book contains a comprehensive guide to breeding fish, with a special focus on breeding trout and salmon. Written in clear, plain language and full of handy tips and useful suggestions, this volume is ideal for the amateur, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “Stocking Waters with Food”, “Suitable Fish and Suitable Waters”, “Trout – Preliminary Hints and Advice”, “Trout – Rearing Ponds, Boxes, and Hatching Trays”, “Trout – Management of the Ova and Alevins”, “Trout – Management of the Fry”, “The Rearing of the Rainbow Trout”, etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. This book was first published in 1901.
