Oyster Planting Seeks To Overcome Disease Problem

OTTAWA (C) A 8200.000. three-year oyster-restoration pro- gram in selected areas of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick is an experiment to determine whether s disease which has destroyed the msiei-s in the last two years can b: overcome. a fisheries depart- ment official said Friday.

'3We are going to try to de- velop a disease-resistant strain but we don't know if it will work." he added.

That was why only the ship- pegan area of New Brunswick and the Malagash and Wallace areas of Nova Scoiia had been chosen

for the first seedlngs with dis-I

case-resistant Prince Edward Is- iand oysters. it is hoped these

oysters Will use on their disease- reslstant qualities to succeeding generations.

"We just can't go dumping oy- sters all over the place until we know if the experiment is going to succeed." the official said.

Depletion of the beds was brought about by a disease known as malpeque which attacked oy- sters in P.E.l. waters from 1915 to I920. The P.E.l. oysters to be used for the seeding experiment now are resistant to malpeque,

Biologists will plant 1.000 bar. rels in fishing areas and private oysters farms in the Shlppegan area of New Brunswick. Another 500 barrels will be seeded in pub- lic areas and private farms in the

Malagash and Wallace areas of Nova Scotia. if the experiment is a succul- other areas. probably including shedlac. will be seeded later- About 10.000 barrels of the P.E.I. seedoysterswillbeplentedlntht New B. swick and Nova Scotie beds over a three-year period. The official emphasized that the condition which .esulted in the de- struction of the oysters is defl- nitely not injurious to humans. Referring to the Buctouche area of New Brunswick official said the disease was not a prob- lem there. The fisheries depart- ment now is investigating to de- termine steps to rehabilitate the oyster beds.

it pass into the hands of a former Albertonisn who is anxious to do all he can for the betterment of his town and its people.

Mr. Fraser said he fully realizes it is a serious affair to take over a business that has been in Alberton for longer than anyone now living can remember, and that has play- ed such an important role In Al- berton activities for a great many years. "It would be unthinkable," he added. "to change the name." Mr. Myrick he said. would hold a very substantial Interest in My- rlck's and will continue as presi- dent of the firm. No immediate changes are contemplated and any that may take place in the future will be only of such a nature as to advance the fortunes of the com- munity. In closing, Mr. Fraser ex- pressed the hope that when the iime came for him to pass the business to a sor. he would be able to give it over with the same respect and standing it holds III the community at the present time.
