ONE FISH is SOLD FOR 1929
Return Of Sturgeon to Delaware River
Surprising, as 1t Was Thought to
Have Been Exterminated.

Sturgeon fishing in the Delaware
river and bay has showed a surprising
Improvement over past years in the
number of catches and size of the fish,
the Philadelphia Record states. Old
river men are mystified by the return
of the sturgeon, as 1t was thought these
big fish has been about externinated.
Recently number Of exceptionally big
tsh were caught, some averaging well
above 200 pounds and few 300-pound
sturgeon have also been caught.
The COW sturgeon are just now filed
with roe and some Of the big ones yield
from 90 to 100 pounds, selling at S2.75
pound at the wharves. One fisher
man who brought In 3OO-pound stur-
geon last week was paid $305 for the
roe and $24 for the fish, his catch net
ti1g him $500.
Harry A. Dalbow of Pennsgrove,
who has been buying caviar here for
many years, says that this is one Of
the best sturgeon seasons In the bay
he has seen for long time. There
is big demand for the roe this year,
as importations of caviar from Russia,
where sturgeon are caught extensively,
have been cut off by the wa-.
