Why the Fish Die.

A short time ago the carp in Rock
river were dying in such quantities and
accommodating at the gates of the power
plants at GAINESVILLE, Indian Ford and
Fulton as to interfere with the opera
ton of the plants. No one was able to
give any reason for the disease that
was killing the fish in such quantities,
but Richard Miller, who has been SEM
ing on the river during the fall, has re-
ceived a letter from Game Warden
Scholts that throws some light on the
subject, in which he says:
1 will give you Prof. Wagner's opin-
ion of what is causing the death of the
carp in Rock river. He states that he
made a careful examination of the fish
and is satisfied that they died from the
so-called gas-bubble disease. AS the
fish must get their oxygen from the
water they also take with the oxygen,
through their gills, nitrogen. Now it
happens that by the presence of too
much decaying matter or for other
reasons that the water in certain local
tiles mot necessarily whole lakes or
I1VCIO dlO CNCA1 dOACC OAAt]A 0ASc'0J W
comes so charged that the fish through
absorbing these gases cannot handle
them and they separate out as bubbles
in the fins, on the skin and in the cav
ity behind the eye, hence the pop eye.
/ The accumulation of gas interferes with
the normal function of the body and
death results. For reasons unknown it
is usually single specie that suffers.
In the case of these carp they must
have been crowded in some hole in the
river where conditions are bad. AS the
condition is one of the water and can
not be forseen nor prevented, there is
nothing to be done. Usually the condi-
ton lasts but a short time and does not
do any serious damage. There seems
to have been a large number of fish
killed, but when considered with the
number in the river, it is but very
small proportion.
