OYSTER CULTURE ON THE FORE SHORES.—From
page 81 to page 85 in Mr. Dempster's book, entitled " The
Deck-welled Fishing Boat, Fisheries, and Fish Market
Reform," he shows the practical method adopted by the
French to cultivate oysters on the fore shores, between
high and low- water mark. To better convey the meaning
of plan, Mr. Dempster has now added to his little volume
a coloured lithographed plate, exhibiting a proposed site
for oyster pits one foot and a half doep at low water
on the sands abreast of Kinghorn, a small burgh
town, situated on the Fifoshire coast, on the north side of
tlfe Firth of Forth. What gives value to this site for
oyster pits, the projector says, is in consequence of a
freshwater stream constantly running from Kinghorn
Loch on to these sands, together with the way they are
sheltered by two reefs of rocks, one on the east sido of
sands, and the other on their west sido. The two reefs
run from the shore southward into the Firth, until
their ends terminate in a depth of 12 or 13 feet
at the lowest spring tide. Th 3 distance between
the two reefs of rocks is 35U yards, that being
about the extent of the sands from high to
low-water mark. Mr. Dempster's p:au to construct oyster
pits at this site is -sixty feet south from high-watermark
he runs a strong sea well east and west, from the one
reef of rocks to the other. This forms a reservoir
to catch the fresh water constantly running from Ring-
horn Loch. He then fortes his pits, outside of this
sea w,tll, into three different compartments—one for the
first year's growth, another for the second year's growth,
and the other for the third year's growth, after which
time the oy:ters are lit for use. The compattmentE,
of course, are surrounded by stakes, hurdles, and tressel-
work to capture the oyster spat during the spawning sea-
son. When the ebbing tide recedes front the pits, fresh
water from the reservoir is then let into them from sluices
By constructing oyster pits on the fore shores, between
high and low water-mark, when the tido has receded from
them, and the sun acting on their shallow depth, the effect
might in some degree rarify the water, S 3 as to make its
temperature advantageous to oyster culture. The bottom
of the pits to be laid with shingle, tiles, &c.
