The stock of coarse fish may be improved by fish culture just as much as a stock of trout. In his first year or two, it is very possible that the amateur will not save very much by being his own pisciculturist.
William Shriver, a primitive pisciculturist, took from the Youghiogheny River eleven black bass, and conveyed them in the tank of the tender of a locomotive to Cumberland, in the coal-region of Western Maryland. There he deposited them in the Potomac, with the injunction which forms the heraldic motto of the State of Maryland Crescite et multiplicamini.
Of all the trout, the rainbow is the hardiest, and the one with which the amateur pisciculturist is most likely to be successful. It is also the fish most likely to supply a want felt by very many fishermen, a good sporting fish in waters where the common trout will not thrive. In large and deep ponds with a good stream, or in lakes, char may be tried with a prospect of success.
