The Fish Nurseries at Huningue, France, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The Fish Nurseries at Huningue, France, 1864. The suite of buildings at Huningue is devoted to the extension of the piscicultural system, having been erected with a view to the reception and distribution of fish-eggs, as also with the intention of providing accommodation for such experiments in acclimatisation as were to be conducted there for the benefit of the French fisheries. M. Coumes, of Strasbourg, is the designer of the buildings and ponds...It is not, as a rule, found convenient to hatch the eggs at Huningue, as the young fish could not be very easily transported to such great distances as the ova; but a few thousands are always hatched for the purpose of being experimented on so far as food and growth are concerned... All the ova which is collected is kept under cover in one of the long halls of the side building. There is, of course, an abundant supply of all kinds of water, and the ponds are used for studying the rate of growth of such of the fish as are kept for study. The principal fishes manipulated for at Huningue are the Rhine and Danube salmon, the Ombre chevalier, the lake and river trout, and the fera - a very plentiful fish'.From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures The Fish Nurseries at Huningue, France in 1864, showcasing a unique glimpse into the world of pisciculture during that era. Designed by M. Coumes of Strasbourg, these buildings and ponds were specifically created for the purpose of receiving and distributing fish eggs, as well as conducting experiments in acclimatization for the benefit of French fisheries.
The image reveals a scene where thousands of fish eggs are carefully kept under cover in one of the long halls of a side building, surrounded by an abundant water supply essential for their growth. The main focus is on studying the rate of growth and behavior of various fish species such as Rhine and Danube salmon, Ombre chevalier, lake and river trout, and fera.
It is evident from this photograph that meticulous care and attention were given to each stage of the fish breeding process at Huningue. The dedication to scientific research and experimentation shines through in every detail captured within this historical snapshot.
Overall, this print serves as a valuable record not only of the physical structures involved in pisciculture but also as a testament to the ongoing efforts to enhance fisheries through innovative practices during that period.
