From the Reading Eagle, OF Friday.
The First Shad of the season.

THE HABITS OF THE sHAD-THE TINE
THE DIFFERENT KINDS REACH THE
READING MARKET THE IsHERRIEs IN
THE sCHUYLKILL
Yesterday Daniel Parker received
some Savannah shad, the first OF the
season, Tor the Mansion House. This
morning he received another lot, for the
American House. He says it is unusual
toreceiye shall in December. Last year
he could not procure any before the 18th
of January. The Norfolk shad usually
reach here by the latter end of Febru-
airy, the Delaware shad the latter part
of March and the Columbia shad in
April.
The shad is II large species OF herring
which inhabits the sea near the mouths
of large rivers, and in the spring as.
ccnds them for the purpose of depositing
its spawn in the shallow water. The
young fry remain for IL season in the
waters which gave them birth, but on
the approach of cold whether descend
the rivers and take refuge in the ocean.
The old ones likewise return, and at this
time are emaciated and unfit for food.
The shad is found i'll nearly all the
rivers of our Atlantic coast. During the
season they are an important source OF
wealth TO tAe inhabitants Of the borders
of tie Delaware, Hudson. Susquehanna
and some smaller rivers where dams do
not prevent the fishes from ascending
the stream.
At ono time Reading was quite famous
Tor its shad fisheries, but those days
have passed and the seine may perhaps
never sgaln be hauled to shore along tie
Schnylkill, filled with the iinny luxurios,
Us the building Of the dams in the river
Tor navigation purposes has put u stop
to the migration OF shad up the stream
The last fishery was above Kissing
er bridge, and was owned by Villa IN
Gaul. The shad migrated to Schuylkill
county. where they spawned in the
shallow water.
The last shad caught at Reading was
in the year 1918, just after the erection
OF the dams below the city. Besides
shad, large numbers OF Striped bass
and blue catfish" where caught at the
Reading fisheries. j.
