1 62 Big Game Fishes 



At this time fishes ranging from three and five 

 inches to fifteen inches are observed. In obser- 

 vations covering six years I never saw or heard 

 of a bluefish on the outer reef. 



The bluefish is a valuable food-fish one of 

 the most delicious table fishes in America. After 

 being kept or frozen, its delicate flavor is, to a 

 certain extent, lost. Over eight million pounds 

 of bluefish are consumed annually, valued at 

 about half a million dollars, and all alongshore 

 wherever found they rank high as game or food 

 fish, or both.
