The larger fish come in for the best trout share and thus outgrowing their fellows are likelyto turn to cannibalism young trout feed almost entirely uponthe alevins, and thus not only destroygreat numbers of their own kind, butthemselves acquire the evil habit ofcannibalism. There is no doubtwhatever that a larger percentage ofcannibal fish exist in rivers where thefish breed naturally than in riverswhere artificial rearing is resorted to. Thus in summing up, we find thatloss is likely to arise from a number ofdifferent directions should the fish beleft to breed naturally. Firstly, alarge percentage of the ova depositedis likely to escape fertilization: se-condly, a flood water in the wintermay bury the redds, aud thus preventthe ova from hatching, while a iloodin the spring is likely fo kill or cripplethe alevins: and thirdly, a large num-ber of alevins are destroyed by the
