, BT AVCOCK BROWN
IT WILL BE A worthwhile project
if the WPA grants a sum of money
to the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries for
the construction of rearing pools for
small fish. What Dr. Frtherch has in
mind is to convert one or two of the
many lagoons formed by the salt
marshes between Morehead City ana
Beaufort for the purpose. At first it
will be more or less experimental.
but Dr. Prytherch feels confident
that fish especially mullets can be
penned in the ponds and reared to
maturity.
IF THE WPA will finance the way
for these experiments, and if they
prove successful one may not in the
future be surprised to see the house
wife going not to a freezing plant or
market after their seafood but to
the fish pools where their choice sea
food will be caught before their eye
and perhaps killed and cleaned only
