Fish Hatching is a 1863 treatise by Frank T. Buckland that documents the development of young fish, especially salmon and trout, from eggs to hatchlings. Buckland explains egg anatomy, oogenesis, egg colors, their tough membranes, and the nest-building behavior of salmon and trout. The book discusses enemies of ova—floods, mill wheels, fish-eating species, water insects, and poachers—and argues for artificial incubation, both outdoor and indoor hatching boxes, water filtration, temperature control, and darkness to prevent algae and fungus. It details experimental results at Stormontfield on the Tay, at Huningue in France, and in English fisheries such as Stormontfield and the Thames. Buckland includes practical methods for transporting eggs and fry, operating near Hampton, and turning fish into rivers to stock waters. He also reports on the physiological development of the embryo, including blood vessels and heart rate, and introduces the concept of hides for fry to protect them from light and predators.
