DIVING LOBSTERS
 CREATE NEW MARK
Special Tanks at NOank Hatchery Now Speeds
 Development

Hartford, Sept. 3-"Graduation" of the largest "class" of diving Holsters on record at the Noank State Fish Hatchery, where the crustaccans are raised and then taught to dive to escape predatory enemies when re- leased. is announced today by the State Board of Fisheries and Game.
 Studies have revealed that lob sters younger than the fourth stage of growth float about in the water and are consumed in quantities by hungry fish.
 Special tanks at the hatchery now speed development and pro- vide diving practice, enabling lob- ster youngsters to dive to the bot tom for refuge immediately upon being planted.
 Diving Holsters propagated and planted along the coast of Connec- ticut in Fishers Island and Long Island Sounds during the matching season just closed numbered 509,000, on all time record, Captain Frank N. Banning, Marine Fish Hatchery supervisor, reports.
 Shad fry propagated at the Sal- mon River Hatchery this summer numbered 8894,000, amounting to slightly less than one-half the i935 production, reports show.
 Spring floods, which secured pol lution from the Connecticut River and its tributaries and made better spawning conditions in these streams, apparently reduced the number of shad normally attracted to the Salmon River" Banning declares. "This theory is further borne out by a catch of shad in the Connecticut River this year exceed ing that of 1885,"
 with fewer spawn-bearers in the Salmon River, our take of eggs, twas correspondingly reduced and but one half the normal shad fry produc- tionresulted," Earnings report con- cludes.
 Shad fry stocking records show that all but 10000 of this years pro- duction were planted in the Con- necticut River below Haddam.
