During the middle ages, and through
out the period of the European predomi.
nance Of the church of Rome, the neces.
sity Of providing proper supply of fish
for use on Fridays and during Lent did
much to create species of fish culture.
That this did not extend to fish hatch
ing, but stopped short at inclosing and
regulating the supply of fresh water
fishes, seems TO US probable. AT the
same time, the Romans were at least
acquainted with the securing of oyster
spat, and from this to the artificial
Matching Of fish ova does not seem a very
long step or one that may not really
have been taken The probability is,
however that the cost of such artificial
ly produced fish would have been far be-
yond the purses Of the multitude, and
the wealthy had viviers and ponds in
which they kept tleir own fish for their
own use.
The extent to which they have gone
may be judged oy the system in use
among the monks II the monasteries and
the great seigneIrs of the continent,
which was also introduced into this
country, probably by the Normans orig
inally. The absence Of proper convey
snces for the supply of sea fish to the
inland parts Of the country made it inn
perative for the various proprietors TO
meet their own necessities. In doing 50
they did not fail 10 discover that certain
fishes required particular kind Of
"cultch " upon which to fix their spawn.
AS the supply of this material was an
acknowledged necessity this may be
considered the first step toward fish
Matching. Scottish Review.
