The Potomac Fisheries.


CAUSE OF THE DECREASED CATCH OF Su.p-
THE DEADLY NET-GooD work OF THE FISH
COMMISSION To CoUSTkRACT THE SLAUGHTER
In discussing the question OF the decreased
catch of shad i'm the Potomac and Susduehauua
rivers, it is important TO consider the changed
condition of the fisheries resulting from the in
PRODUCTION of pound-nets in the ChesapeaIze
region. Ten years ago the schools of Sbad enter.
ihS the Day We're sale irom capture until, with
the advance In season, they pushed their way
INTO and up the rivers for the purpose OF spawn
ing. In vast schools they sWatmed into the
fresh waters and made Irofi table harvest Tor
the large haul seines and for the OILERS Now
both shores of the Chesapeake are lined with
Pound,nets from the capes To the head OF the
pay. 1hese stretch their fatal me>hes "A mile OF
more from the shore To hedge I'm and impound
the unwary shad. our rivers, I'm their lower
reaches, are infested with the same deadly i'm
struments OF capture. IL may be truly said that
the waters of the Potomac. the Rappahannorlx
the James, and many minor tributaries of the
Chesapeake are literally strained through
small-mesh Eets before discharging into the
bay.
The consequence of these changed conditions
Is th;tt the siad fisheries lave been shifted from
the rivers to the shores OF the bay from fresh
water to salt water, and so perfect are the in
Struments and appliances of capture that only
beggarly remnant OF the schools of shad enter
ing the bay can safely run the gauntlet OF nets
which intercept, arrest, and impound them,
ana reach their spawning grounds in.the rivers
When We consider the TACT that shad can only
spawn in fresh water. the fact that so small a
proportion ever reach spawning grounds pre-
sents matter of very grave Import. Natural
conditions will not keep up supply, since
enough do not spawn naturally TO COMPENSATE
losses by capture or natural casualties. The ut
most resources of fish culture must be taxed to
supply the deficiency.
In this connection il is a very significant fact
that the aggregate catch of shad in the Chssa-
peake region, taken as whole. is increasing wear
by year. That this has been the case, In the face
OF the untoward conditions limiting natural re-
production, Is q strong and conclusive argu-
ment for the value of the work of the T. s. Fish
commission, In Matching out and adding year
by year, tens of mill rs of young shad to the
natural supply.
