FISH DO NOT HAVE CHANCE
IN POTOMAC, SAYS SMITH
Commissioner Of Fisheries Points
Out Need of Legislation to
Correct Situation.

Declaring that the Potomac river was
one Of the places where fish do not have
chance. because they cannot get
through nets to their spawning grounds,
DR.. Hugh M. Smith, commissioner of
fisheries, points to the need Of laws such
as that in force in North Carolina. There
only two-thirds of stream may be COW
cred with nets. The remaining one third
Is left to enable the fish to get up the
rivers.
More than 113.OO0O0O shad eggs have
been handled this season at the govern
ment's hatchery at Edenton, N. c., it
was said. This Is declared to be a rec
ord. and 1t is estimated that the total
may run up to nearly 200. 900 before
the spawning period is over The hatch
cry is being filled to capacity, it is said.
This remarkable take of shad eggs
this year." said DR.. Smith today, lis due
to the fact that North Carolina has
adopted such liberal and advanced laws
for the protection Of migratory fish,
such as the shad. striped bass. herring
and others. Whereas a few years ago
most Of the fish on their way to the
spawning grounds were captured in nets
which stretched across the waterways,
today the law requires that one-third the
width Of the stream be kept free of nets.
This gives the fish q chance
AT Havre de Grace, Md, where we
have the largest capacity shad hatchery,
we took last year less than 10000 600
shad eggs. because there Is no law pro-
tect1ng the fish as they come UP the SIs-
quehanna. The same Is true in the Po-
tomac and elsewhere"
