EFFORT TO SAVE
MIGRATORY FISH
New Jersey Leads in Effort to Prevent
determination of Varieties on
Atlantic Coast

NEWARK, n. j., Jan. 5.-A move
ment has been started i'll New Jersey 10
save from determination the migratory
fish which spawn in one place and move
along the Atlantic coast with the chang
ing of the seasons-such as mackerel,
menhaden, herring and numerous other
varieties peculiar to certain localities on
this coast. Experienced fishermen de-
clare that the supply of these migratory
fish has been seriously depleted by the
spawn. and by the reckless manner IN
which they have been caught in nets.
The method proposed by the New Jer-
sey Fish and Game Conservation league
to prevent from determination Is to in
duce the United States government to
take control of and regulate the catch
ing of these fish and stop pollution Of the
spawning areas. 1t is contended that
only in this way can the increasing cost
of fish food to the consumer be checked
or reduced.
The four fundamental points in the
New. Jersey leagues proposal for national
First-Protect spawning areas against
pollution.
Second-Prevcnt fishing in spawning
Third-Regulate the size of the meshes
of nets so the immature fish can not be
caught.
Fourth-Protect the natural food supply
of eatable fishes.
The fourth point has to do with one of
the most perpleXing phases of the salt
water problem-the matter of the men
haden industry. The menhaden, other
wise known as mossbunker, which once
swarmed along the coast in incalculable
attracting hordes of edible fishes
that proved on them, have been slaugh-
tered right and left to produce oil and
fertilizer. In the view or experts their
end is not far off and with their passing
viii disappear from Atlantic costal wat
ers many of such edible species as now
remain.
Efforts to cope with the problem
through state regulation here have failed
the last straw being the com
plete breakdown of the State Board of
Fisheries, which had been created by leg
islative enactment with a view to increas-
ing the supply of food fishes and reducing
the cost to the consumer. The five mem
hers OF the board resigned in a body in
July. 1919. and there have been no re-
Appointments.
Investigation by a committee of veteran
coast men disclosed an equally deplorable
it is said, in other seahoard
states 1t, was learned, also, that fisher,
les officials of Connecticut and Maryland
agreed with those of New Jersey that a
federal law was the only remedy.
