SPERM UH1LES AND MACKEREL.
A SCARCITY OF THE SMALLER AND AN UNUSUAL
NUMBER or THE BIGGER FISH.

A SCARCITY OF THE SMALLER AND AN UNUSUAL
NUMBER OF THE BIGGER FISH.
Tho New-York branch of the photographic Office
OF the United States Navy has received reports
during juno from some twenty ship captains who
sighted whales in the waters tho coast from
the Grand Banks to Cape IIattcras Captain Owens,
of the steamship Iowa, saw eight large whales
June 4, In north latitude A., west longitude 81.
great number of large whales were seen by Captain
Fox, of tho steamship Isrian, on June T. Others
report schools of large sperm vhacs moving In
various directions. The object of this record IS to
study the movements Of whales and other sea fishes
II has been asertaincd that the temperature of the
wafer has an important influence upon their move
ments and an especial study will be made with
respect to mackere In the hope Of ascertaining
data that will solve the question why they are so
abundant one season and scarce the next.
Fresh mackerel have been scarce In New York
markets this year and the price so high that people
who have commonly been In the habit of eating this
excellent fish have not been able to afford 1t at all.
In ordinary seasons the retail price is from Six 80
ten cents each for mackerd wcgi ing about pound
but the cheapest they have sold for this year has
been fifteen cents each and prices now eighteen
TO twenty cents Speaking the subject to 4 Tribune
reporter yesterday, State Fish Commissioner Black
ford said
Of fresh mackerel this by the passage of bill
through Congress last year. entitled. An
Act to improve tho Size OF Mackercl"
This measure was passed under the pretence that
IL would protect the schools Of these fish during
tho spawning which is egregious mistake
Tho law forbids the taking OF the fish between March
and June and the truth is that the mackccl begin
spawn between June and juno 20. They then appear
TO into deep and become until the latter
OF July the first OF August The law Is useless
as protective measure and outrage in that IL depives
the poorer people OF cheap article OF food Its only
effect Is to limit the supply OF fish In the markets and
thereby keep up tho prices OF all other kinds.
What Is the prospect OF larger supply In the
futurel
That Is extremely dinlcult to say. The fishermen
port total absence OF small red marine vegetable
tho shore which Is usually seen In abundance and
staple article Of diet for the mackerel This fool and
the fish also, are plentiful far The temperature
OF the water has something do with the movements
these fish, and the United States Fish Commission Is now
making study OF this question. The water on these
shores was unusually cold June 30. result OF
tho legislation above referred that the Canadian
nackerel fishers had monopoly tho catch during
March, April aud May, shipped their free to our
markets from Canadian ports and paid times
what nA nah arc usually worth.
