SARDINE HAULS
TOO LARGE FOR
CAN SUPPLIES
MONTEREY, Cal., Feb. 24 (by As
sociated Press).—Catching forty-five
tons of sardines in a single haul, but
forced to throw back into the water
all but five tons, “on account of can
shortage,” is the experience of sar
dine fishermen of Monterey bay, ac
cording to a writer in the Monterey
Cypress-American, who describes a
: trip taken with a party of fishermen.
“If we could sell all the fish we
qatch we would soon all be rich,” the
captain is quoted as saying.
The boat made its catch in about
two hours, and the writer remarked:
“It is hard to believe that such quanti
ties of food lie right at our door, and
only a small part of it utilized.”
The sardine fishermen work on
moonless nights, so the fish can not
see the approach of the beats. Once
a school is sighteed, the nets are run
* out in tAVo swings, each 450 feet long.
The fish are surrounded by a net Avail
200 feet in depth and about 1,000 feet
in circumference.
The fish soon discover their plight
as the net draAvs in on them, accord
ing to the article. There is a patter
ing on the surface as if rain Avere
falling. As the net draAvs closer on
the fish this becomes more violent,
and soon fish are scurrying about the
surface of the water. Many of the
fish in their -frenzy leap out of the
water, a considerable number jumping
the cork line and making their escape.
When the net is draAvn in the fish
are transferred by means of scoop
nets to a barge, Avhich accompanies
the launch. When the fishermen have
all the fish they can dispose of the
rest of the catch is alloAved to escape.
The fish this year are running late
in season near Monterey, and are of
unusual size and plumpness, measur
ing in many instances fully a foot in
I •
| length.
