ULTIMATE FATE OF FISH,
They Never Die a Natural Death, SAYS
an ObserXant fisherman.

Fish never die a natural DEATH" said
an old fisherman who has observed as ne
tshed. IF they did bodies of dead fish
would be floating on the surface Of the
water about all the while, because such
bodies IL unmolested would have to float.
Il mean, of course, fish in nature never
die a natural death, no. fish in captivity.
And perhaps 1T should not be called nat
ural death that fish in captivity die. Their
environment induces mortality that fish in
their native habitat would escape, and
these causes might be properly classed as
among the accidents that carry the cap
tive fish off.
IF fish in their native element were new
err molested / believe they would never die
If they had sufficient food. which would
be impossible if they no longer preyed on
one another, there would be no reason for
their dying. 1t was 10 prevent such unin-
terrupted tenure of life that all fish were
made firecely predatory, If not remorse-
lessly cannlbalistic, as many kinds are.
"A fish's life is a constantly strenuous
one and one entirely selfish. A fish lives
only to eat and TO avoid being eaten"
