Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Natural History and Habits of the Salmon; With Reasons for the Decline of the Fisheries, and Also How They Can Be Improved, and Again Made Productive: Also an Account of the Artificial Incubation of the Salmon
IN endeavouring to give a short, and, I hope, correct, account of the habits and migrations of the salmon in rivers, and While absent from these rivers, I have confined the account generally to the natural habits of working and depositing their seed; how instinct leads them, at the proper time, to select the suitable places in a river wherein they may deposit their seed to advantage, and Where, unless by some natural yet unforeseen cause, it will lie in security until the time of incubation is over, When, after that, their security entirely de pends ou the dictates of nature and the Wide waters for their feeding-ground.
