But the leading product of the waters of
Brittany is the sardine. This country has it's
own peculiar attractions for the artist, the
archeologist, the linguist and other specialists,
and even ordinary tourists often impelled
to extend their travels thither; but the fea-
ture which appeals most strongly to the great
est number Of Americans affects not their
esthetic. artistic scientific tastes, but their
gastronomic, through the medium OF the
canned sardine. Other countries and other
parts OF France produce sardines but the
sardine par excellence comes from Brittany.
Brittany is the center Of the sardine fish
cry and has all of the numerous establish
ments for the canning of the fish. In an aver
age the Brittany sardine fishermen
number $4,000 TO 10000 and catch 100 900 900
TO 150000000 pounds of sardines for which
they receive S1,500,00O to $4,000 900, while the
shore industries dependent on the fishery give
employment TO 10000 other persons mostly
women and girls. SO important is the sardine
that in many communities in Brittany every
person is directly or indirectly supported by
it, and the failure of the fish to come means
ruin, starvation and death to many people in
the more isolated places.
Sardines found on the coasts of Brit
tany throughout the year but occur in great
est abundance in summer and autumn The
small hSh III demand Tor canning purposes,
have been hatched from eggs laid in the pre-.
vious summer at a considerable distance from
the land and go in schools at or near the sur.
face AS many as 100000 have been taken at
one time in one net from one school but the
usual size of the schools is not remarkably
large.
Like other free.swimming oceanic fish. of
which the mackerel. bluefsh and herring are
conspicuous examples, the sardine varies I'm
abundance from year to year and at times has
been exceedingly scarce on the French coasts
Thus, from 1887 TO 1890, there was an alarm
ing scarcity, but after this fouryear period
the fish returned in as great numbers as ever
Again. from 1902 to 1906 the sardne disap-
peared almost completely, only to be followed
by period of great abundance All sorts OF
theories have been advanced to account for
these periods Of scarcity, which appear to be
coming more frequently than formerly.
