Summary
Pathe synopsis: Keeping a close watch on the hatching of trout eggs is all part of the work carried out by the fish-farmers of Nottingham. They study new breeds and organise trawling sessions to transfer fish from one lake to another. They’ve even developed an ingenious method that nets a rich catch - using electricity to stun the fish before pulling them out of the water.
