NURSERY or THE an DISCOVERY OF THE WINTER ~ HA 5:4 TAT QF SALT WATER FISHES.. In the Deepest H01) mvs of the Ocean They Congregutc During January and Feb- ruary—Thousands of Pounds Recently Caught. ' The most important discovery in coast fishing so far has been made by the fishermen ofi' shore of Beaufort, N. (3., and there is reason to believe that there will be far-reaching results obtained in the future through im- proved methods of deep-sea seining. In the two winter months of January and February, all of our littoral spe- cies of fish disappear almost entirely from the waters off our coast. and fish- ermen are compelled to fold up their seines, and wait until spring for; the reappearance of their favorite game. Scientists have concluded that the fishes go to some unknown region or depths of the ocean to breed during these two cold months, and upon their return in the spring they are accompa- nied by innumerable hosts of young fry. The discovery off shore at Beau- rTort is nothing less than that of a win- :er nursery of Our littoral species of fish. ' From six to eight fathoms be— low the surface of the water the fish have been found to be literally swarming in countless numbers, and hooksand seines let down to that iepths invariably bring up rich hauls. No amount of coaxing and temptation can induce the fish to leave their warm winter habitat far below the surface, and the fishermen have to adopt new ”methods of catching them. The discovery is important in modi- fying our prevailing methods of catch- -‘ng marketable food fish, and in cheap- 1ening the supply in winter and in furnishing the needy workers with em- ployment at an off season when pov- erty and hardship often press most sc- rerely upon them. The fish are found off Beaufort and liorehead City in deep holes or corru- gations. In the summer time they come ashore further and swarm around the oyster beds and the bays and inlets. A great variety of food fish is found in this winter nursery. such as the red drum. gray trout or weak fish, spotted sea trout, blucfieh :ronkers and many others.’ A new sort of seine has been used it Beaufort. _It is designed just for this deep-water fishing. It closes up n the shape of a long. narrow eel pot with a heavy weight at. the lower end. it dangles over the side of the fishing unack by several ropes, which are ma— iipulated either by the men or a tack- 0. When the lead reaches the bottom the seine is allowed to rest for some time, while the men spread it open. This is done by means of 'opes. Four rowboats leave the smack ind each one pulls a rope attached to 1 corner of the seine. Thus it is ipread out on the bottom of the sea di- rectly under the flocks of sea fish. l‘hen it is gradually hauled up. ,A leep pocket in the bottom of the seine s quickly filled with so many fish that they threaten to break through the meshes by their very weight. In each haul the fishermen bring up at east 500 pounds of fish. The number of fish seem inexhausti- ile. When one hiding place is pretty well cleaned out the fishermen hunt tround for another. The bottom of :he sea off the coast is undulating, forming deep hollows or holes in which the sea fish hide. They are never lound on the ridges of the bottom, but always in the hollows. Consequently the fishermen carry sounding leads with them in search of a new hiding place or winter nursery. When the water is six to eight fathoms deep they drop the net, and leave it there for a short time before hauling it up. if they strike it rich, they haul it up ind let it down until their boat is ended. The fact being established that the ish merely sink to a good depth off the coast in Winter instead of mi- grating to some tropical sea, the ques- zion of discovering the hiding place of other species becomes interesting. It s thought that the same sort of fish- ng may be applied to the codiish off the Newfoundland banks, and to the med snappers off the Florida coast. It the winter habitat of these fish is not too deep, they may be caught right through cold weather with properly sonstructed seines. It is believed now that countless millions of shad, sal- mon, herring, striped bass and other inadromous fish are hidden away in the fields 0f the ocean a short distance ntf our coast, and that only a small per cent. of them enter our rivers to ;pawn in a given season. In fact, if one-hundredth of all that are in the ocean should make a simulta— neous movement in this direction they would completely choke up every river in the country. Hence. it is quite important that winter hiding place should be discov- ered. ‘Inthe nets off Beaufort an oc- 3asional striped bass, bluefish, salmon. herring and shad have been caught. demonstrating that they are aground somewhere in the deep corrugations of the ocean’s bottom.

My whole head was stuffed up; the pas- sages of my head and throat. would at times become so filled withmucous that I could not talk, and altogether in was very annoying. I also sufiered a great deal of the time with headaches. 19,015 a bottle of California. Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store in South N orwalk, and I think it isthe great-est stuff in the world.

All the fish caught in the Great Lakes and sold throughout the United States )i‘ elsewhere are to be handled by an English syndicate. ' This syndicate, which has a capital if $5,000,000, has secured control of .he business of the twenty corporations ind firms doing business on Lakes Winnipeg, Superior, Michigan, Huron, L‘rie and Ontario and the hundreds of imaller bodies of water in the West ind Northwest. Negotiations leading up to the pres- :th combination were begun over a rear ago and a secret meeting of all :he leading men interested was held 11 Chicago last summer. The main )asis of the agreement which has re— sulted in' the present combination was .hen reached, and practically all of ,,:he important details of the big affair lave been arranged since. The combination will distribute ibout 150,000,000 pounds of fish annu- illy at the outset. but it claims that his quantity will be greatly increased tfter the concern has sys-tematized its ousiness. The London company will control all uperations of the concern. but head- luar-ters will necessarily be establish- ed in the United States. Cold storage plants will be estab- ~is-hed in New York, Buffalo, Erie, Eleveland, Sandusky, Toledo, Detroit, wJhicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, In- lianapolis, Pittsburg, St. Paul, Min- ieapolis, Duluth, Kansas City, St. 'Jouis and Denver. In addition there will be the necessary freezing plants it all stations on the Great Lakes aordering on the United States, as well as on Lake Winnipeg, Canada. By controlling theoutput and pre- venting waste the combination claims Lt can sell fish in a larger territory than they are sold now and can sell, them cheaper than anybody else.— L‘hicago Times-Herald.
