THIS is truly a subject for the formidable speculation with which Prof. James Ritchie has treated it1. He dreams of a mountainous, nay astronomical, dash of nutrient chemicals in the North Sea, which is to make a remarkable increase in the growth of fish. And why not? Greater changes than that have been made on the face of the earth in the past; but scarcely so simply-except in destruction. The southern, shallower part of the North Sea, where the main nurseries are, has been found to suffer from shortage of phosphate in one or two dry years, and there was no shortage in one or two normal years. Sun and warmth are likely limiting factors. In the meantime, transplantation has been successful in increasing fish-growth, on an experimental scale in the North Sea, and on a commercial scale in the Belt Seas.
