Goose Fish Can Easily Devour Bird
II Is Named From.
The goose fish. as 1t is known along
the Massachusetts shores, derives its
name from an ability to assimilate
wild fowl in cannibalistic fashion.
In Maine the goose fish is often
called the monk fish. Notwithstanding
that 1t has anything but a monkish
aspect. Rhode Islanders call 1t the
bellows fish; In Connecticut IT is
known as the molligut; in North
Carolina as the allmouth. which tallies
closely with its looks. and in places on
the other side of the Atlantic the
names wide gut and kettlema~ are
applied.
Their swallowing capacity is prac-
tically unlimited. Mackerel, sculpins,
dogfish. sea ravens. crabs. squids and
Holsters have been found in their
stomachs by government experts.
Sometimes they annoy fishermen by
swallowing the wooden buoys attach
ed to their lobster pots.
The adult goose fish Is commonly
about four feet long and weighs from
So to 45 pounds.-Fishing Gazette.
