salmon, is the most important an
adromous species Of North America.
Among the fishes of economic value in
the United States only the salmon and
cod exceeded shad in value for many
years, and, considering all branches of
the fishing industry, only the whale
fishery and oyster fishery, in addition to
those mentioned, have been financially
more important than that of the shad.
Discussing the general fishery situa-
ton, Commissioner Henry O'Malley OF
the Bureau of Fisheries declares that
"the commercial fisheries Of the United
States apparently are In stronger eco
nomic condition than those Of any other
large fish-producirg country IN the
world today.
The enlivening of the public con-
science to the need for proper hus-
bandry of our fisheries resources Is the
most heartening feature Of the present
fisheries situation. Greater interest IN
outdoor recreational pursuits and the
development of strong organizations
that are sponsoring the conservation Of
wild life have enlisted the active sup
port of hundreds of thousands Of our
people In insuring the perpetuity Of our
fishery resources, as result OF which
Federal and State agencies are ex-
banding their facilities for handling
and distributing fish and eggs for stock
ing streams in an effort to maintain the
fish supply. As a consequence OF this
expansion In Matching and rearing
facilities many more fish are reared TO
a length of 8 or 4 inches before being
released in natural streams and ponds.

shad. It is always Potomac River
shad." If all the shad thus designated
actually came out of the Potomac, that
river would be literally teeming with
fish. The same is true Of "PenobScot
River salmon"
There was a time when the Potomac
did TEEN with shad, and today the Big
gest shad industry in the United States
is In the Potomac, but the supply Is not
what 1t used to be. The dwindling sup
ply is the reason why the Bureau OF
Fisheries is doing its utmost to re-
habilitate the industry by artificial
means of propagation, and the new
hatchery established at Fort Humphreys
is expected to go far toward producing
that result. The hatchery is close to
spawning grounds and at place where
there is minimum Of river pollution.
X X * y
DURLNG the height Of the shad sea-
~ son, which this year will run from
about April 20 to May 10, from 10 to 20
men will be active at the hatchery

men in that vicinity, bringing the eggs
into the laboratories where they will be
placed in Matching jars and distributing
the fry when the eggs are Matched in
6 to IL days. depending upon the tenn
perature Of the water, among the vari-
Gus tributary streams.
In the early days of the Potomac shad
industry the supply of fish was so large
that intensive catching methods did not
need to be employed in order to take
enough fish to satisfy consumer de-
mands. Many fish reached spawning
grounds where they propagated natu-
rally. But as consumer demand in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-04-14

but usually eggs we're not obtained In
sufficient numbers so to justify contin-
ued operations. As early as 1880 it was
discovered that the Potomac River, i'm
mediately adjacent to Fort Washington,
IL miles below Washington, is more
productive of ripe stad eggs than any
other place of equal area. A hatchery
with full equipment was erected at this
point. but the station was moved later
to Bryant Point. on the Maryland side
of the river, opposite Mount Vernon.
In some years as many as 100000
eggs have been gathered on the Poto-
mac, the take" fiuctuating each season
between that figure and minimum OF
5000 900 eggs. 1t has been learned that
when temperatures are high the flSh
tend to leave the main channels and
scatter over the shallow-water areas OF
the bay, where they are more easily
taken by the traps, thus reducing the
numbers that ultimately reach spawn
ing areas. If temperatures are low, the
fish tend to follow the deeper channels,
and thus a larger number reaches the
spawning areas and the take Of eggs is
correspondingly increased. The slad
fishery Of the Potomac River has had,
in addition to the benefits Of artificial
propagation, some protection from the
excessive fishing to which other areas
have been subjected, by the enforce
ment of regulatory measures Of the War
Department maintaining lanes unob-
structed by fishing apparatus for pur-
poses Of navigation.
In value, Mr.. Leach says, sllad is the
most important fish of the rivers of the
Atlantic Coast and, next to the Pacific

upstream as the Cascades, about $50
miles above the mouth Of the river.
A THOUGH shad eggs were arti-
"A ficially taken and fertilized as
early as I84s, little is known Of the
habits and movements Of the fish when
out of the rivers. The shad assumes
the aspect Of mystery fish," In that
the ocean areas to which 1t resorts are
unknown, and what its saltwater food
consists of has not been determined.
In the Gulf Of Maine 1t Is known to
associate In large numbers with mack
erel and herring during the months
of June, September and october, being
most numerous in June. 1t has been
taken at North Truro. Mass, in the
Fall, when the ocean temperature was
from 43 to 80 degrees: in the month
Of November it has been found on the
west side of Sakonnet River. Rhode
Island; in May and June 1t has been
captured with mackerel few miles
northeast Of Cape Cod Light.
Some instances of capture indicate
that under certain conditions the adults
may remain in the fresh water rivers
whole year. Shad have been taken
In Chesapeake Bay in November. The
fish has been found in the Potomac
occasionally, In limited numbers, in
August and September, and even dur
ing the last week In December. Its
movements apparently are largely con-
trolled by the water temperature. It
is believed that the fish seeks to occupy
an area having temperature OF go or
10 degrees, and that its migrations are
determined by the shifting of this area.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-04-14

"In the Middle Atlantic States the
young fish remain in the rivers until
the cool weather of Fall comes; then
they begin to drop downstream, and by
the last of November have passed out
into the oceans or bays and are lost
sight of until they come back, three or
four years later, full grown and ready
to spawn. They leave the Potomac
when the water falls TO about 40 de-
grees, by which time they are about
sfree inches long.
"They have been observed in great
abundance about organs Point, on the
Potomac, feeding and jumping out of
the water about sunset. They keep
within the open streak of water be-
tween the shores and the aquatic vege-
tation that covers the flats, in water
2 TO 5 feet deep. After mild Winters
young shad have been found in the
Potomac. in April, 80 miles above
brackish water and 100 miles from the
ocean, in company with young alewives.

years old, are caught each year In seines

RACK In 1856 the Government
deemed it advisable to erect at
Jones Point at the mouth Of Great
Hunting Greek, on the west bank of the
Potomac, lighthouse, for the protec--
ton of navigation and in doing SO found
it necessary to inclose the Dist lets
corner stone in the seawall surrounding
the structure placed there "a years be-
fore, and in this way 1t was obscured
from view for many years. About 20
years ago it was located and enough OF
the wall removed so that it might be
visible at all times, and few years sub
sequent to this it was protected with an
iron grating placed there by local menu
bers Of the Daughters of the American
Revolution.
TO ever SO many Washingtonians Of
mature" age, Jones Point Lighthouse
means much. For, in their childhood
excursion days, when gliding down the
Potomac on the "fast and commodious
Steamer Mary Washington" they al
WAYS had to pass this venerable land
mark. Indeed, If they only went as far
as Fort Foote, which was almost oppo-
site Alexandria, they still came In full
view Of the lighthouse.
If. however, the boat went as far
down the river as Glymont or perhaps
to Lower Cedar Point, how glad We
tired tots were when we could see IN
the distance, upon returning home late
at night, re light from Jones Pointl
Then we lew we were nearing Alex
