Anchovy Found in Large Quanti-

The Hague, Holland.-The coat OF

are anchovies; for Enkhulzen owed
a great part of its prosperity to the
anchovy fisheries.
1t is generally supposed that the
anchovy is caught exclusively in the
Mediterranean sea, SO it comes as a
surprise to most people to hear that
It. is so largely caught OFF the coasts
of Holland. Dutch fishermen have
been familiar for ages with the fact
that the anchovy comes up in great
shoals at certain times of the year
and enters the Zuyder zee to spawn
There have, however, been consider
able lapses of time when no anchovies
at all appeared. and when it was
feared that the Dutch fisher folk had
lost their means of earning a liveli-
hood. then. suddenly. without any ap-
parent reason, the shoals of fish again
became regular visitors. These last
few years the anchovy has been par
ticularly plentiful. Many Zuyder zee
fisherman has made his living for the
whole year during the anchovy sea-
son, which lasts from six to eight
weeks, and as much as 1000 forms
$4,000 worth have been known to be
taken in a single day.
Formerly the method of capturing a
shoal of anchovy consisted in stretch.
ing an enormous net with small mesh.
es between two boats. This net
touched the sea bottom. Then the
boats hoisted sail and the more wind
there was the better pleased were the
fishermen. They sailed on for a while
and then when the net was lifted It
contained thousands of silvery fishes,
Later ON they preferred to fish with
stationary nets, because more fish
could be caught in that way. Each
fisherman places his own nets in a
certain part of the sea, and after a
while comes to see whether they have
been filled with fish.
Inc anchovy brings plenty OF work
for many another category of persons
than the regular fishermen. For the
fish have to be cleaned. sailed and
packed into casks. The cleaning is
done almost exclusively by women and
children, the sailing occupies the
''salter' and the making OF the many
casks employs a little army OF coop.
ers. Then the packing is also done
by experienced hands in such a way
that the anchovy can be kept for many
ypArS without anoiIiDp
The herring fishers also often Sc
cure millions of anchovy near the
coasts of Holland. For as soon as
they perceive a shoal coming their
way they will fix anchovy netting into
their herring nets, and so often Sc,
cure almost miraculous hauls.

grown specimen being only fifteen cen.
