LONG ISLAND FISHERY STATISTICS. 



The traffic manager of the Long Island Railroad Company, Mr. 

 A. L. Langdon, stated in a letter that there was a decrease in 

 fish shipments over the lines of that company during the years 

 1910 and 1911, and that the decrease was principally in ship- 

 ments of weakfish and flukes from Montauk and Promised Land. 

 The fish shipped from those points are caught in Gardiner's hay, 

 Napeague Bay and Block Island Sound. The shortage of fluke 

 marketed was not due to a scarcity of the fish; the fish were 

 abundant, hut the prices were so low at certain times that it did 

 not pay the fishermen to catch them. 



Weakfish are migratory, and their spawning grounds around 

 Long Island have not yet been discovered, so that the Commission 

 has been unable to increase the supply by artificial hatching. 

 Flukes have not yet been propagated at the Long Island Station ; 

 but the winter flounder is distributed in very large numbers. 



DISINFECTION OF PONDS. 



Copper sulphate solution has been used in the Spring Reser- 

 voir Pond at Cold Spring Harbor to kill bacteria and protozoan 

 parasites which seemed to infest that pond. Mr. Walters wrote 

 that the solution had killed everything in the pond, and that he 

 expected to give it another treatment and to follow this with a 

 strong solution of common salt. Salt is fatal to the flagellate 

 related to Cosita which has caused extensive gill inflammation in 

 the young brook trout. The copper sulphate, according to Mr. 

 Walters, has not been effective in keeping down the excessive 

 growth of algae.
