Green's patent is for a "Method of Hatching Fish-Spawn" and it "relates more especially to the propagation of shad, and its nature consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of a propagating or fish or frog-spawn hatching chamber in such a manner as to effect a perfect and uniform circulation throughout the entire chamber, and at the same time prevent the escape of the spawn, and also of the young fish, until the attendant thinks proper."
