Planting Fish in the Sea.


Prof. Baird, not content with [
furnishing yoang game FISH to
stock the fresh water streams
of the country, is planning to re-
plenish the failing supplies in the
sea. He is fitting up hatchery at
Woods Hall, Mass, and expects
soon TO be able to put into the wa
ter 50O,O0O,OO0 young Goldfish an
nually. 1t might seem that the
ocean is a large place in which to
distribute the fish, but it is said to
be the habit of the finny tribe to
return annually 10 the shore
where they are hatched and to
make that their spawning ground
in the future. Putting the fish
into the ocean, therefore, is prac-
tically a move to stock the partIc-
ular portion of coast where the fish
are deposited. In this light it
seems rot impossible that practi-
cal results may be obtained from
the movement. 1t Is intended to
distribute them as far south as the
Chesapeake. This IS the first at
tempt that has been made to stock
the seas on an extensive scale.
Shad and salmon have been sue
cessfully handled so as to replen-
ish the stock in several rivers, but
the attempt to supply the cod fish
cries is new. Three years ago a
comparatively small number of
gray cod were put into the water
at Newburyport. They are now
frequently caught all along the
coast as far north as Maine, though
they had never been found there
before, the catch being always the
common red variety. The success
of this experiment leads Prof. Baird
to believe that the worn out fish
ing grounds can be fully replen-
lshed, not only with cod, but also
with mackerel. Lobsters are alsC
to be made the subject of culture
by the commission. Prof. Baird
looks upon fish culture as offering
practically unlimited field for the
increase of the worlds food sup
ply.
