Framed Print of Fish-breeding; a Surrey trout-farm, 1890. Creator: Unknown
Fish-breeding; a Surrey trout-farm, 1890. 1. Fish-breeding ponds of Mr. Thomas Andrews, at Hind Head, near Haslemere. 2. Catching the fish for the spawning operation. 3. Squeezing the ova from the female fish. 4. Adding the milt to the ova in the hatching-house. 5. Feeding the fish. [The] artificial culture of trout and salmon...During the past 23 years Mr. Andrews has successfully carried on his piscicultural operations, producing more than fifty millions of trout, American char, and grayling, which he supplies, in ova, fry, or yearlings, to rivers in every part of the United Kingdom, also sending the impregnated ova to Australia, Ceylon, America, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, and other countries...Mr. Andrews has twenty ponds, fed by nearly a hundred springs...At the time our Artist visited these ponds, the water of one of them was being drawn off, for the purpose of catching the fish for the spawning operation...A very pretty sight is "Feeding the Fish." As soon as the first handful of food is thrown into the ponds, the fish rush from all points in thousands...one would get fairly wet, if standing on the edge of the pond, from the splashing of these spotted beauties...The large fish are fed daily upon horseflesh, boiled and ground up'.
