Gentleman coming down, and the eligibility of the property, at-

A writer in the Quarterly J.,uruul of Science suggests a
plan for constructing Sea ponds, for the purpose of pre-
serving and breeding a sufficient stock of various species of
fish for the public markets. It has been found that sea-
fish will live and thrive in, and also breed, in ponds or en-
closed waters; and with regard to many, it also appears,
that it is indifferent whether the water be salt '
fresh, or brackish, or alternately fresh and salt. This
plan would bring the fish within our own power, to be
taken alive when wanted, and, from being better fed, in
grtster proportion and more uniformly gord. There are
three or four sea ponds in Scotland where the fish are thus
kept: one in Orkney; one in Frith of Forth; and one in
Galloway. This has recently been put to the test in
Gnernsey by Mr. Arnold: in a rod of about four acres
only, many species of fish are now thriving; all those
which have had sufficient time have propagated ; and
all have improved in quality, and many in a remarkable
manner.
