This makes the evil doubly mischievous, be- cause from their new habit of hiding they are less likely to be discovered, and their increased rate of growth is daily putting a greater difference in size be- tween them and their companions, and making them more formidable. Careful sorting is the remedy, to- gether with regular feeding. If these rules are ob- served, there will not be much trouble or loss from the trout eating one another. But there is another form of cannibalism, whioh, though less repugnant, is more injurious, namely, nibbling. The young fry when they first feed are very voracious, and will nibble at the tails fins of those in front of them, and, if flowed to get very hungry, will often do a great deal of injury in this way, especially if much crowded. The younger they are, the more they are given to the habit, but they finally outgrow it. The remedy is to give them regu- lar feed and plenty of room. 21. Overheating.
