Fertilising Fish Ponds
Tests by the biological board of
Canada at St. Stephen, N. B., indicate
that water may he “fertilized” so as
to increase the plant and animal life
within it, making it capable of Sus
taining a much larger fish population.
A pond or lake which has not many
fish may lack sufficient food for them.
By the addition of but a single pound
of herring meal to a thousand gal
lons of water a pond 'was made so
fertile that it produced nearly a hun
dred times ns many plant growths as
developed in a similar quantity of
unfertilized waier. The increase in
fish food brought about an increase
of fishes.
