KNOW TEXAS
T. S. W. C News Bureau
Denton, May 12— Little do care-
tree Texas fishermen realize the fore-
thought and preparation which mak-
es it possible for them to "haul 'em
in." The energies of the Texas Game
Fish and Oyster Commission are
combined with those of the U. S. Bu-
reau of Fisheries to protect and bet-
ter fishing conditions both for com-
mercial and sporting purposes.
Experimentation in the hatcheries,
made necessary by a national fish
hortage which began about 1S84, is
one of the most important phases of
the commission's wor^ at present.
Shad, herring and California salmon
were first tried, but did not thrive
in Texas waters. Then German car])
were tried, but this fish was soon
discredited for lack of food value.
Now the nine hatcheries, which are
located to serve all sections of the
state except Southwest • Texas, con-
centrate on white perch, black crap-
pies, catfish, bream, gogleye and
i' reen perch. A total of 3,137,357
small fish were distributed over the
state from these hatcheries in th"
Call of 1935. The commission is also
working on the propogation of min-
nows and smaller fish since, their
sale for commercial bait has caused
a food scarcity for game fish.
Precautions have to be taken that
trame fish are not crowded out by
buCfalo, carp, suckers and gars.
Other menaces are predatory birds
and snakes.
A floating laboratory has been es-
tablished by the commission on the
coast of Rockport. Little i8 now
known about the habitg and baiiKg
of coastal fish, but authorities^ say
that if t}ie Gulf banks were well
marked out as those of Newfound-
land, fishing interests woold have a
tiemendous boom.
