GRAINING

The graining is a fish of the dace kind found chiefly in the Mersey and its tributaries and in some of the Swiss lakes. The nose is more rounded than that of the dace, the eye larger, and the dorsal fin commences half-way between the point of the nose and the end of the fleshy portion of the tail. It seldom weighs more than half a pound; in habit and food it resembles the trout.
