Congress Interested
In Lower Fish Supply
Bill Being Considered
To Make Study of
Situation
Congress may come to the aid of
Atlantic Coast game and commercial
fishing areas which have suffered de
clines in catches of certain species of
fish in. recent seasons.
The Fisheries and Wildlife Conser
vation Subcommittee is considering
bills which would provide for studies
of certain fish which are of major
importance to the game and com
mercial fishing industries.
The bills are designed to authorize
the United States Wildlife Service to
make a study, with the cooperation
of the various states, of fish which
are decreasing in numbers and about
which little is known.
Under the proposals the Wildlife
Service would recommend to the
states measures to increase the
abundance of fish. The recommenda
tions would be based on the studies
which would include propagation, bi
ology, abundance and catch records
of the various species.
Hearings have just been completed
on one such bill which would au
thorize studies of important game and
commercial fish all along the Atlan
tic Coast. The bill is of particular
interest in eastern North Carolina
where fishing, both commercial and
sport, is a great industry.
At the hearings, bluefish, rockfreh
(striped bass) and others of import
ance to North Carolina were mention
ed specifically.
Another bill wtiich will be of inter
est to the fishermen of North Caro
lina would provide specifically for an
investigation of the croaker situation
in the coastal and inland waters of
Virginia and North Carolina,
In recent seasons the decrease in
the number of croakers taken in this
area has been alarming.
The bills are being considered by
the Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Subcommittee of the Merchant Ma
rines and Fisheries Committee. Texas
Congressman Clark W, Thompson,
who chairmans the subcommittee,
says hearings will probably be held
on the bills concerning certain fish in
specific areas in the near future. The
bills could possibly be incorporated
into an anonymous bill which would
apply to all cases, he said.
■Congressman Herbert C. Bonner, of
North Carolina and a member of the
Merchant Marines and Fisheries Com
mittee, says he is particularly inter-
