NOBODY WORKS
BUT FATHER IN
SPAWNING TIME

AiBANY, N z, May 31.-In the
bass family nobody works but faith
er. according to the Conservation
Commission, which has just mailed a
decorated postcard to fishermen
throughout the State asking their
help for father bass in his onerous
domestic duties, by refraining from
fishing over the spawning beds and
by working for an extension of the
close season from June 10 to July L.
Tho card shows a picture III a
male bass guarding his nest At the
top of the card, as a motto for his
faithfulness. are printed the lines:
Nobody works but father
He's on guard all day;
Fins in constant notion
Keeping the foes away
According to the printed matter on
the card. 'In the bass family the
male selects q nesting place and
then seeks and escorts to It a mate.
From 5000 to 10000 eggs are laid.
after which the mother bass is driven
away. never to return or to know her
progeny.
Father bass takes a position I'm
mediately over the nest, constantly
tanning it with his fins and ever
watchfuI for intruderS This vigil
continues for ten days to two weeks,
while the eggs are developing and
Matching, and for a few days there
after, while the young are getting
ready to try their fins Woe unto the
sucker or other enemy which ap-
pears too near to the nest. The faith
full paternal guardian darts fiercely
after It and attempts to rip IL open
with his dorsal fin By this means,
unless he is attacked by overwhelm-
ing numbers of carp or caught by
the angler, tho father bass Is able
to hatch his brood and caro- for them
until they scatter for food.
THE bass cannot be artifically
propaEated, and for its supply Of
such fishes the Conservation Com
mission must accordingly depend
upon the vigilance of father bass. The
spawning time of all fishes IS gov
erned by water temperature In
normal season in New York waters
the bass do not leave their nests
before July I, and in late seasons
the male bass may be seen lowering
over his nest until well past the mid
die OF July.
Lot us therefore give father bass
a chance to do his bit in food conser- |
vation by working for an extension |
of the close season until July ], and
let US refrain from fishing over the |
spawning beds whenever we find him |
guarding his nest. even II II be dur
