Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
CONT

At hatching the [fish] sac fry are golden and fall through the egg basket and school in a tight cluster on the bottom of the tank. Sac fry do not need to be fed because they receive nourishment from the attached yolk sac. If a... fry-rearing trough is used, the sac fry are siphoned into a bucket using a [half-inch] hose and then transferred to the rearing trough. The yolk sac is absorbed by the fry in about 3 to 5 days, depending on water temperature.

CONT

canoe cup... [Canadian] Voyageurs and hunters travelling by canoe sometimes carried cups carved from the burls of tree trunks. These were profusely decorated with incised motifs, such as a four-leaf clover, a basket of flowers, a beaver, a snake, a mermaid and fish, a boat, or hearts. The small barrel attached to the cup with string serves as a toggle for hanging the cup from the belt.

DEF

Petite tasse sculptée à partir de nœuds de troncs d'arbres par les chasseurs et voyageurs canadiens et employée pour étancher leur soif au cours de leurs explorations en canot au dix-neuvième et au début du vingtième siècle, et qu'ils portaient attachée par une lanière de cuir à leur ceinturon.

OBS

Les tasses de voyageur sont devenues des objets de collection prisés car elles étaient pour la plupart décorées de motifs gravés tels que fleurs, castors, poissons, serpents, etc. On dénote toutefois au cours du vingtième siècle une production amérindienne de ces articles plus axée sur le marché touristique.

Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

You can make these traps simply by tying branches, sticks, brush etc. into bundles and either placing them flat or upright on the bottom or suspending them in the water. Fish and crustaceans sheltering in the brush trap can be caught by quickly lifting the bundles from the water. The bundles can be put in the centre of a woven basket to catch fish that try to escape when the trap is lifted. Alternatively, you can put a dip net under the bundles while you are lifting them
