Reviews

R.R. Stickney ...One of the many striking things about the book is the thoroughness of the introduction, which provides a thoughtful synopsis of the book and integrates the information on various topics by indicating the chapters in which each topic is discussed... Principles of Salmonid Culture is impressive in size, scope, and detail. Its shortcomings are few and the depth of information is great... It is unlikely to be superseded by a more comprehensive volume for many years. The Progressive Fish Culture
