A new method of increasing the capacity of a trout hatchery has been developed through the use of small circular tanks. These tanks are superimposed and fastened independently by means of a swivel arrangement, to a vertical post. The use of this method for incubating trout eggs and rearing fry has increased by four times the potential capacity of a hatchery at Saint Faustin, Quebec, where the new method was developed.
