OverviewExcerpt from The Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, Vol. 9: Exhibiting a View of the Progressive Discoveries and Improvements in the Sciences and the Arts Of the other fish, as regards their habitats, having paid less attention to them, I have little information of any value to offer. The pike, perch, and eel are of very common occur rence. The eel, indeed, is found in almost every lake and river in the district, and even in the mountain tarns. The minnow and thornback are also widely diffused in both lake and river. The tench and roach are less frequently met with, and are confined chiefly to ponds into which they have been introduced, brought from other counties. The barbel, too, is of rare occurrence as a river fish. And the same remark ap plies to the smelt, an estuary migratory fish. Hitherto I have heard of it as taken only in the estuary of the Kent.
