I came across this phrase in the novel Out of Africa:
"We had in Africa a kind of perch, which was good to eat, and we dwelt much upon the idea of rich fishing on the farm. It was not, however, an easy thing to get them, the Game-Department had set out perch in ponds but would let nobody fish there yet"
Please could someone tell me the meaning of "set-out" here. Does it mean The department allow to put perch there, in the ponds.
Many thanks.
