Smell Expected to
Re-es4abIish Selves

Ann Arbor Mar. S-The smelt
population Of Crystal Lake which
escaped the plague that nearly
wiped out the species in other
Michigan waters last year IS still
healthy according to tests made by
biologists from the conservation
departments institute for fisheries
research.
Tests made this winter as part OF
a study begun in 1925 showed that
the average size and growth rate
this year compared favorahly with
that of former years indicating a
healthy smelt population in the
lake.
The study has shown that the
majority of smelt arc no more thar
four years old although one fish
taken since the investigation start.
ed was five years old.
Crystal Lake is the first place
where smelt made an appearance
and became established in Michi-
gan, and it is believed that the
species spread from there into
other waters. 1t is possible that
this process will be repeated and
that the Crystal Lake smelt will
help to repopulate other waters. a
small catch of smelt by ice fisher
men on waters where the plague
hit, however indicates that NOR
tality of the species was not 100
per cent and that a small stock ap-
parently was left. Because the
species vii not have to be en-
tirely re-established. fisheries men
believe it may not take as many
years for smelt to become abund-
ant again as it did for them to be-
come plentiful the first time
