Opening of the bass season on July I this year is certain to attract one of the greatest numbers of anglers in the history of the Fish Commis­ sion to warm water lakes and streams yielding this hard-fighting game fish. Few fishermen who have taken good-sized bass will concede that anything with fins is superior to this spike-finned battler of our inland waters when it comes to game qualities. Constantly increasing popularity of bass fishing and the difficulty attendant to raising smallmouthed and largemouthed bass in vast numbers at the hatcheries make sound conservation policies for the species almost mandatory if we are to have con­ tinued good fishing of this type. Our fishermen are in a strategic position to bring this about, for the number of bass under legal size that are destroyed each year through careless extraction of the hook might well mean the difference between mediocre or good bass fishing. Certainly, the cost of a few cents for an occasional hook cut off and left in a fish is repaid many times and with interest through the sav­ ing of a gamey little bass for future sport. A number of years ago, J hooked a four pound smallmouthed bass while fishing helqramite. When this fish struck, it was realized that it was a big one and sufficient time was given it to swallow the bait. The setting of the hook was the signal for a battle and what a battle it was! For almost half an hour it continued, ending only when the leader parted while the fish was being drawn toward the landing net. At a later date, while fishing in the same hole, another terrific strike, was had, and this time the quarry was landed. Much to my surprise it proved to be the bass hooked on the previous trip. About two feet of the lost leader still protruded from its mouth. Later examination disclosed that the hook had been embedded in the stomach and that the chemical action of the stomach juices had already begun their work of de­ terioration. Extracted, this hook was easily broken between the thumb and forefinger. This was conclusive proof that bass will not die as a result of being hooked in the stomach so long as it is left to nature to disgorge the hook in a natural manner. Later experiments with bass hooked deeply have definitely established that in most instances, so long as they are handled with a reasonable amount of care, these fish will recover from injuries inflicted by the hook. Of eighteen bass hooked, fifteen lived afler jjjg sne|| 0f the hook had been snipped off, close to the mouth, in one of these experiments. ^, , . • . Bass conservation benefits under the new Fish Code, which raised the legal size limit from 9 to 10 inches for the coming season, and reduced the creel limit from 10 a day to six a day. Fishermen in most instances regard these new regulations as highly Important to the welfare of their sport. „',..., ... Another vital factor in continued good bass fishing is the preservation in our public waters of a good supply of live forage, minnows, helgramites, crawfish and stone catfish present regulations governing the taking and keeping of bait fish and fish bait in the new Fish Code have been drawn up with the idea of benefiting the great­ est possible number of fishermen. A steadily increasing number of anglers have taken up fishing with artificial lures on fly rod and casting rod and are finding in these two methods of fishing great sport as well as dispensing with the bother of keeping and carrying live bait on their bass fishing trips. .... , , , „ , . ,,. , Our bass fishermen can be the key men in bringing about betterment in this grand sport.

  • Stone Tidal Weirs, Underwater Cultural Heritage Or Not? Akifumi
    Stone Tidal Weirs, Underwater Cultural Heritage or Not? Akifumi Iwabuchi Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Tokyo, Japan, 135-8533 Email: [email protected] Abstract The stone tidal weir is a kind of fish trap, made of numerous rocks or reef limestones, which extends along the shoreline on a colossal scale in semicircular, half-quadrilateral, or almost linear shape. At the flood tide these weirs are submerged beneath the sea, while they emerge into full view at the ebb. Using with nets or tridents, fishermen, inside the weirs at low tides, catch fish that fails to escape because of the stone walls. They could be observed in the Pacific or the Yap Islands, in the Indian Ocean or the east African coast, and in the Atlantic or Oleron and Ré Islands. The UNESCO’s 2001 Convention regards this weir as underwater cultural heritage, because it has been partially or totally under water, periodically or continuously, for at least 100 years; stone tidal weirs have been built in France since the 11th century and a historical record notes that one weir in the Ryukyu Islands was built in the 17th century. In Japan every weir is considered not to be buried cultural property or cultural heritage investigated by archaeologists, but to be folk cultural asset studied by anthropologists, according to its domestic law for the protection of cultural properties. Even now in many countries stone tidal weirs are continuously built or restored by locals. Owing to the contemporary trait, it is not easy to preserve them under the name of underwater cultural heritage.

Fishing nets and gears are refers to those devices having different shape and sizes and used in the water body to capture different sizes of fishs. Present study deals with fishing techniques in Uttarakhand where fishing has its good scope. Fishing methods was observed and collected through intensive field survey, structured questionnaire, direct observation, interview methods and direct conversation to the fishermen. Various fishing nets, fish poison and use of explosives were main part of this state fishing methods. Fishing techniques adopted in Uttarakhand were simple, mostly old-fashioned, indigenous and locally manufactured. Paper also focuses on various techniques as well as their independent contribution in state fishing. Gill net, Cast net, Dragged net, Dip net, Hand net, Hanging rope, Trap, Hook, Line and Explosives were mainly used other than that six chemical poisons and thirteen Icthyo-toxic plants were observe which was used by the local fishermen. Explosives and Icthyo-poisons were polluting and damaging aquatic ecosystem by various ways and was one of the main causes of aquatic biodiversity loss. Keywords: Central Himalaya, Fishing Techniques, Fishing Gears, Fishing Nets, Fish Poison, Hill Stream Fishing I. INTRODUCTION The fishes are one of the main exploitable resources of the aquatic ecosystems that provide a major source of protein.

Dissertation Committee: onar ree Ernst S. Reese ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I sincerely thank the members of my committee for their helpful comments, which greatly improved the quality of this dissertation. Dr. Parrish deserves special recognition for conceiving the idea for the predation experiment, serving as the principal investigator on the Sea Grant projects which largely supported this work, and for going out of his way repeatedly, to support me personally and the proper completion of this research effort. The field work required for this dissertation was labor intensive and physically demanding. I thank all the people who painstakingly contributed their assistance many in a major way! to the long days in the water, often under severe conditions, and late evenings of data transcription and field preparation. Jim Norris deserves special thanks in this regard, having done an excellent job in serving as my main dive buddy during most of the Midway cruises. I am indeed grateful to the many students who contributed to the necessary laboratory work and assisted with data and manuscript preparation.
