Beschreibung

In "The Ranidae: How to breed, feed and raise the edible frog," the anonymous author provides an exhaustive exploration of the lifecycle and husbandry of edible frogs, particularly the species *Rana esculenta*. The book employs a practical, hands-on literary style that demystifies the breeding and care processes involved, making it accessible both to hobbyists and those in the aquaculture industry. Grounded in scientific research yet arranged in a user-friendly format, it discusses environmental needs, dietary specifications, and common health issues, situating itself within the broader context of environmental sustainability and biodiversity preservation. The anonymity of the author may hint at a collective voice of dedicated herpetologists or aquaculture experts whose insights centralize on the unique challenges and rewards of amphibian husbandry. Their dedication to fostering an understanding of edible frog cultivation likely stems from a passion for biodiversity and a desire to introduce sustainable practices into culinary and ecological domains, reflecting contemporary concerns regarding species survival and environmental stewardship. For anyone interested in sustainable farming, culinary innovation, or amphibian conservation, "The Ranidae" serves as an essential guide. Its comprehensive approach provides not only practical methods but also inspires a deeper appreciation for these remarkable creatures, making it a recommended read for enthusiasts and professionals alike.

PREFACE.

Think of it! "One Dollar a Pound."

The Editor of this book was brought face to face with the true possibilities in Frog raising by his love for this delicate meat and his inability to get it. As I had visited all the principal markets in New York City, a market where it is known the world over that if there is anything in the eatable line to be found it can be found there. This was not so of frog meat. After making several attempts and failing, finally one day I found about twenty pounds, which had been shipped from a distant point, and when I inquired the price? "One dollar a pound," it set me to thinking, as it will you, now that I have brought the subject to your notice. At prices like this and the demand far in excess of the supply, as I had inquired of the market man if he had many calls for frog meat, and his reply was, "More than we can get to supply." Now what more inducement does anyone want? This information should make you ambitious to go into the business of Frog Raising. You hear on all sides of you to-day that there is no opportunity to go in business and make money, as all the branches of industry are overproduced. Here surely is one line of business that is not overproduced. And a business that is not necessary to large capital to start, and one that bids fair to bring him who ventures good profitable results.
