CARP PROTECTED IN OHIO.
Catch from Lake Erie Melted the Fisher
men 100000.

The much despiscd German carp Of
twenty years ago has come into his own.
Last year there were 1000, 900 pounds
Of carp caught in Lake Erie and tho
tributary river, which brought in the
handsome sum Of 81 100000 to the lucky
fishermen. Twenty years ago the carp
was depised by all fishermen and bill
was introduced in the Legislature to
pay a royalty for his determination.
Now bill has been passed to protect
him. 1t was made Il fine last week by
the present Legislature of OHIO to catch
carp under 10 inches in length. and the
fisherman who undertakes to market
carp under that length is liable to be
hauled before a court OF justice and
heavily fined.
This law, however. applies only to Lake
Erie and the rivers which flow into it.
Carp that are to be found in other
streams in Ohio have been found to
lack in size Of the lake fish.
The German carp, which is the only
carp to be found in the state, was first
introduced in Ohio twenty-five years ago
and his development was slow. 1t took
several years for him to become acCi-
mated to the waters of the rivers and
lakes, and only in Lake Erie and its
contributing waters has he ever devel
opod into a marketable product. 1t
has been found to be a prolific breeder
and in the last four or five years has be-
come one of the most important CONNER
cial fish along the lake front.
The bill just passed by the Legislature
also has reduced the size of white bass,
perch and other fish that may be mar
keted. it having been found that net
fishing is materially reducing the prOduc-
ton Of fish of all kinds
