lreyentug the total anrhiston OF Shad in our river
Some eighteen years ago it common TO draw 1000
1900 shad at haul Now, sometimes the fisherman gets
only one or two fish in his seine
The object Of Mr. Pe in trsnsplanting shad from the
partially salt waters OF the Hudson the fresh water Of
his ponds grow shad for the table, bat for food
for piekere shad will produce $4,000 eggs the young
Of which VII afford abundance Of food for the pickerd
As general thing fish do not require feeding they find
sufficient food in the onlmacua Of the ponds though they
very vorscious feeders when proper food is offered
them In some Of bis ponds the fab have never been fed
but he no difference in the quality of the fish
