| Title: | Photograph - trout after being killed by catfish |
| Collections: | Faculty of Agriculture fonds |
| Description: | A photograph, taken by John Wallis, of the fish he and a friend discovered in Clearwater Bay, Lake of the Woods, in June 1946. A large trout was found with a ten-inch catfish lodged in its throat; Wallis surmises that, as the trout tried to swallow the catfish, the catfish's spines were driven into the sides of the trout's throat, causing the catfish to be stuck. In this photograph, according to Wallis, "the body cavity of the trout is open to show its amazing emptiness. Beyond a few threads too thin for identification, there was no sign of entrails other than the one of which the shrivelled cut ends are shown above and below the opened fish. This possibly was the swimming bladder." A three-page story, from which the above quote was taken, accompanies the photographs. |
