This raverite Fish Has AL
ready Disappeared From
the Delaware River
STATE INDUSTRY LOST
BEFORE THE REVOLUTION THE
FISH WAS NOT CONSIDERED
vALUABLE, BUT IT ROSE RAP
IDLY IN FAVOR

The opening of the fishing season in
the upper Delaware river recalls the fact
that one of the most famous fish in these
waters. the sturgeon. is rapidly disap-
pearing. This has given an opportunity
TO the state of New Jersey and the COM
nonwealth of Pennsylvania to provide
Jointly fishing station at Bristol for
the re-introduction of this fish. the stur~
geon.
Long before the revolution Trenton
nnd the vicinity was famous as fish
Eng centre Advertisements at the end
bf the colonial period shows that many
/. bf the local market met, in addition TO
telling salted herring and shad. packed
Rown sturgeon in barrels. The stur-
Seon was sent to New York and Phila-
telphia in the OK team wagons of that
fme or sent to nearby river points in
ballops.
Traveller SON the Trenton-B Bordentown
sanch Of the pennsylvania Railroad
ave noticed pond lying directly south
i the bluff facing Prospect Valley.
Before the construction of the canal and
be railroads 75 years ago this pond di-
&ctly connected with the Delaware
liver and was navigable for boats. Fish
kmen would bring sturgeon into the
bond where they were allowed to remain
sntil wanted for use. It is a matter of
kadition that bow dam restrained the
kh from escaping into the river.
The industry of sturgeon fishing con-
hued until well into the memory Of
Aany Of those now living. Some of the
"a people OF the Fourth and Sixth
Yards were, as boys and ysung men, en-
Aged in capturing sturgeon.
Until long after the Revolution the
emrgeon was not eaten by the better
PASS Of people, except, possibly, on rare
kcasions. The fish was the food of
laves and servants, while no one would

by caviar is seteemed great delicacy

tect it resembles IN the history Of it's
pc the diamond back terrapin, which in
ee CoBonial period in Maryland, was so
nanon that slaves petitionef their mas
RS that they be fed with salt pork
bther than with terrapin.
