The last consideration is oneof immense importance, and yet, owing to the difficultieswhich lie in the way, little is being doneto repair the damage which has accrued to them. Pisci-culture undoubtedly has its work to do for the salmon,and it is a most important one. Carried out in the rightway and on a sufficiently large scale, there can be nodoubt as to the benefit that will result, but the work mustnot be played with. Professional pisciculturists have hada great deal to leatn, and experience has often been verydearly bought, but a mass of knowledge has been gainedupon which we can now build with safety, and we aretoo sure of our ground to hesitate even for a moment ingoing View inside one of the Hatcheries. river, as they have to go to sea, and if retained in pondsagainst their will they do not thrive. Many of them willjump out, if it be possible to do it, others will die, andthe survivors will be found to have lank, thin bodies,and even though they may develop, as they have done insome places, until they yield ova, yet they will nevermake good fish.
