Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Medical Surgical Journal, Vol. 4: January to June That they are not taken from Without is clearly shown by the fact that the salmon during its long sojourn in fresh water does not feed, - that it does not regularly take in a supply of food sufficient to yield the necessary energy and to afford material for the construction of the rapidly growing ovaries. I do not here discuss the question of whether a salmon will or will not swallow a worm or other object while in fresh water. All I desire to contend is, that it does not feed in the sense of taking in the necessary material. The evidence of this seems very conclusive, and a summary of it will be found in a Report on Investigations on the Life History of the Salmon in Fresh Water, presented to the Fishery Board of Scotland, I 898.
