MuIlet Shawn Destroyed
AS result of violent Hindstorm of
the last "a hours, mullet spawn In var
ious fishponds over the territory
have. been destroyed. Consequently,
mullet will be probably abnormaliy
high by the time the spawn would
have grown to fish of market size. Re-
ports reached Honolulu this morning
from several OF the companies owning
fishponds on Oahu carrying the news
OF the wind Is destruction to the spawn.
This is now. the middle of the closed
season for naullet, the season being
from December to February. From
the egg or spawn to the time the null
let has grown large enough to market
stretches a period of Is months, and
SO the damage done by the windstorm
to the fishpOnds will not make itself
felt In the market until about that
time. .,>1g ~ ze... <nz.$
