Fishing Gro unds When Season Opens This Morning.

Life for lobsters around the shores oi Prince Edward Island be- comes a good deal more hazardous today‘ when the two-month season gn t e tasty crustaceans opens at

a. m.

As soon as the zero hour arrives the boats. most oi them 20 to 30 feet in length. loaded to the wat- ers edge with rope and carrying a crew oi two. are away in a race the "grounds".

"lines". to traps are attached, are in the water, the boats return to the shore.

Traps are then loaded and once more the small craft head to sea. Ii weather conditions remain fav- orable, and there is sufficient bait, most of the traps. each baited with a choice morse —-io the lobster-of herring, will be in the water. Tues- day the first of the fishermen's harvest from the sea will be gath-

ered.

But the continual dwindling quan- tity of lobsters caught each year is beginning to cause alarm in the ranks of fishermen. who lest year reaped $524,847 from a catch o 58,238 pounds of these denizens of the deep.

Dates Back 60 Years Packing oi lobsters in this pro -

E § a (I

ince on s. commercial basis dates back only about 00 years though the pioneers caught. them for home consumption long before that. Quantities caught hen are almost unbelievable to present dsy fisher-

men.

There is. in this province, a man wLc can remember when with an- other assistant. he brought ashore 85.000 lobsters in one season. Then the fish were sold by count instead of by weight oday.

‘Phat was in 1886 when the iotel catch over the eastern where they

ounds. Fifty years later. ‘he total catch had shrunk to 32.- 000000 pounds.

In 1936 only 28,000,000 unds were taken over the whole area. And the quantity brought ashore

continues to dwindle {eesrly despite greater and ever- res r efforts of fishermen to bols er flheir catch to keep themselves out of the "red".

Island Catch Dwindles Also

The Prince Edward Island catch shows the same dwindling as has been experienced over the wider area. In 1934 it was 76.582 pounds; 63.876 in 1935; 59.286 in i936 and 58,238 in 1337. It hes been pointed out, taking ihures over a long per- iod, that the catch oi lobsters ap- pears to g0 in cycles, lean years being followed by years of increas- ing catches up i0 s. certain point when the downswir" begins again.

However. the peak oi each cycle never reaches a point equal to that of the preceding one.

Outlook for the present season in this province is not too bright. Prices are expected to be some- what lower compared wit last year. But fishermen are invariably optimistic and in the small fish- ing communities around the shores ille season will start. with the some gusto, which has marked it for many ears.
