Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the State Commissioners of Fisheries, for the Year 1873 After we had concluded the purchase of the right to use the boxes, Mr. Green 'came' on to Pennsylvania, with one of his assistants, Edward H. Rhame. We at once established our point of Operations at Newport, in Perry county, at the fishery of Messrs. Miller Kough. Owing to the remarkable low-temperature of the water it was some days after our loca tion at N ewport'before Mr. Rhame succeeded in taking any females ready for Spawning. Then the temperature of the water underwent a sudden change. At the time of the establishment of Newport as a base of opera tions the temperature of the water was about 62° within a Short time af terwards it rose as high as 75° and at one time reached 82° Farenheit. This sudden change very visibly affected the fish, quite a large number be ing taken with the spawn dead within them. This prevented our opera tions from being as successful as they otherwise would have been. Mr. Rhame succeeded, however, in turning into the Susquehanna, at Newport, young shad. Mr. Welcher, another of Mr. Green's assistants, who was in the employ of Prof. Spencer F. Baird, the United States Com missioner of Fisheries, was sent by Prof. Baird to the Susquehanna to as sist in the hatching of shad, the State of Pennsylvania paying all the ex penses of hatching other than that of his own personal compensation. Ow ing to the suddenness with which the warm season set in, he was only able to hatch and turn into the Susquehanna, at Columbia and Marietta, about young shad. The total number of Shad hatched by the artificial method duringthe past year in the Susquehanna was consequently in ex cess of The yield of the fisheries in the Susquehanna, above the Columbia dam, was largely in excess of and much more profitable to those operating them than it has been for many years. The entire catch of. All these fisheries must have exceeded fifty thousand. This was due to the abrasions in the Columbia dam, which were several hundred feet in length and which were created by the immense quantities of ice which were swept down the river by the winter and spring floods, and which formed in an immense ice gorge immediately upon the crest of the dam.
