Gets Its Share
In Taxes
OVER 300,000 POUNDS
TAKEN SINCE MONDAY
Approximately 330,000
pounds of shrimp (possibly
more) have been taken on
the North Carolina coast this
week and as we go to press
today good catches were still
coming into local markets.
The bulk of the total catch
was sold by the shrimpers to
Beaufort markets and the
bulk of the catch sold thru
1 local markets was handled
by Carteret Fish Company.
Credit for the good catches, not
only during the past week but
throughout the autumn perhaps
should go to the State Department
of Conservation and Development
which with the local U. S. Fisher
ies Station formulated laws re
stricting the taking of shrimp in
the sounds and rivers of the coast
during the Spring and early sum
mer months.
By restricting trawling during
certain months of the year when
newly spawned shrimp are grow
ing to maturity has saved untold
millions of the little fellows which
were allowed to grow up. Shrimp
ers did not look with favor on the
law (as is usual) when it was first
enforced, but it is believed that
they will agree now that the law
was a good one and has resulted in
bigger catches (luring the late
summer and autumn .months.
Without getting estimates from
the markets at Atlantic, Ocraeoke,
Hatteras and Belhaven the ap
proximate total number of pounds
handled in Beaufort and Morehead
City is 200,000 pounds or more
since Sunday. Capt. Jt.'m Nelson,
