Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive guide to the practice of fish culture, which the author insists is as exact and demanding as any other branch of human labor. By detailing the discoveries that have been made over many years of study and experiment, the author aims to provide practical advice that will make it possible for people with the opportunity to practice fish culture successfully. By comparing fish culture to the cultivation of crops, the author emphasizes the potential for abundant, inexpensive, and nutritious food production in bodies of water across the country. Moreover, the author suggests that fish culture can play a role in the preservation of fish species that are facing threats from pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction. Ultimately, this book's insights can help readers to utilize fish culture as a means of increasing food supplies, protecting endangered species, and making more efficient use of natural resources.
