Abstract
WE do not agree that the expression of a view is a "categorical statement" barring any door to further research. Be that as it may, we still consider that no evidence has yet been produced in support of the belief that encouragement of fish-growth by artificial fertilization of arms of the open sea, such as the English Channel or North Sea, can be made a paying concern. On the other hand, there is no little evidence in support of the opposite view. Perhaps the most convincing is the failure of Dr. Gross and his colleagues to demonstrate that marine fish cultivation could be made to pay even in a very tiny and almost completely enclosed body of water.
