THE CREVALLE.
Two Specimens at the New York
Aquarium-A Handsome Fish.

From the New York Sun.
A tank in the aquarium in front OF
which visitors are likely to linger for a
moment longer than usual is one contain
ing two specimens of the crevalle, the
larger of these being about eighteen
inches in length and the smaller about
fifteen.
The two now we'll grown are the sur
vivors of little lot of eight small young
crevalles taken in Gravesend bay and
brought to the aquarium about eight
years ago. Eight years is long time for
crevalles to live in captivity, but these
two are still active and in good condition,
feeding we'll and still growing.
The crevalle is a Deep thin bodied fish
with pearly sides-a handsome fish. 1t
has a mackerellike tail and long, slender
PICTORIAL fins. 1t is very alert in the wa
ter and fine swimmer.
These two crevalles are seen always to-
gether, swimming side by side, one like
the shadow of the other.
Birds of a feather flock together. and
so likewise do fishes of fin. In nature
the fishes of any one kind will keep to-
gether by themselves and not mix with
others, and the same is true of fishes in
captivity. Put two or three punches of
fishes of as many kinds together in a tank
and each kind will herd by itself and fol-
low its own ways.
At times the crevalles have had i'm the
same tank with them fishes of other
species, but still they always kept by
themselves, Now the two remaining
crevalles have tank alone. but still they
always keep together, now perhaps for
companionships sake as well as by in
stnct; but so they are always seen swim
ming about wherever they go, Away side
by side.
Slightly as it is in appearance the ere
vale is not an edible fish. Fishermen
sometimes eat the young crevalle-hsnes
I'D to five or six inches in length-but not
the larger fishes, which when caught are
thrown back in the water; eating the
larger fishes of this species causes rash
or eruption to break out on the body of
the eater.
The crevalle is not native to these wa
ters. but 1t is found in great numbers In
waters further south. In Cuba, visitor at
the aquarium said, the sale of the cre-
vale is forbidden by law.
