STEPS TAKEN TO
PROTECT STATE’S
SHAD INDUSTRY
Taking of Shad From
N. C. Waters Gradu
ally Decreasing
Measures required to preserve shad
fishing in North Carolina, the most
remunerative branch of the State’s
fishery, which has shown a serious
decline in catch during the past sev
eral decades will be considered by a
special committee of the Board of
Conservation and Development, in
cooperation with officials of the De
partment, R. Bruce Etheridge, direc
tor, has announced-
The committee consisting of J. L.
Home, Jr., Rocky Mount; E. S. As
kew, Elizabeth City; and Jas. L.
McNair, Laurinburg, according to
Mr. Etheridge, has already begun a
Study of the problem and has re
quested the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries
to furnish the services of an expert
to advise in the matter.
Appointment of the special com
mittee followed a recommendation
from the director that serious consid
eration be given to the shad situa
tion and requests from commercial
fishermen that steps be taken to pre
serve the fishery which has furnish
ed a steadily decreasing income over
the past several years.
According to Director Etheridge,
the annual take of shad from North
Carolina waters was 8,963,000 pounds
in 1897; 3,942,000 pounds in 1908;
1,657,000 pounds in 1918; 927,000
pounds in 1932; and 1,274,000 pounds
in 1934. Although no deftnte figures
are available for last season, Capt-
John A. Nelson, fisheries commission
er, asserts that it was one of the
worst in the history of the industry,
with the problem of supply intensi
fied by extraordinary muddy waters
which is believed to have affected
migration.
The inquiry is expected to involve
the collection of all available infor
mation on the habits of the shad
which, in a considerable degree, re
gains a mystery. The shad ascends
the sounds and fresh water streams
from the ocean for spawning in the
spring. The young brood then goes
to sea from which it is believed it re
turns as a mature fish three years
later. The peculiar habits of the
shad and the lack of complete knowl
edge of its life history makes the
problem more difficult, it was pointed
out.
