ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 1892). (1881) 1892 4th edition. 8vo (142 x 225mm). Pp75. Not illustrated. Paper wrappers printed as title-page. Spine chipped and worn. Good. "The last edition of the pamphlet on Stocking has been out of print for some months, .The first edition had to beg the whole question of modern fish-culture, the fourth edition finds artificial Stocking very generally adopted, and trout farms established in many places in england and Scotland as purely commercial ventures, thriving both fishculturally and financially.

The public wants to know what each pond, lake, or mile of stream should yield to the rod annually, and what species, kind, and description of fish will give the best sport. And the public is right .To enable the reader more esaily understand the practical rules which govern the successful cultivation of trout in ponds, lakes, and streams, it will be convenient first to consider the cost, manner of production, and uses of Ova, fry, yearlings, and two-year-olds; next in order the various conditions under which each can be most profitably used; and finally, how any given piece of water can be cultivated so as to yield conditions favourable to one or other mode of Stocking, and the management necessary to command the best possible results." .…
