A Cover for Container to Hold Live Fish

Raymond E. Fitch

Covers are often required to prevent fish from jumping out of tanks and vessels used to hold them. A cover we have developed has proved highly convenient, especially in situations such as population studies on streams. This cover (see figure) was designed for a wash tub, but the plan could be used also to make covers for fish-holding receptables of other shapes and dimensions. Also, it could be made either with or without an opening for the passage of fish into the container.
