SUNLIGHT FOUND HARMFUL TO FISH AND 
FISH EGGS 
—Courtesy Alabama Sportsman. 
As a result of experiments at its Holden, Va., 
hatchery, the Bureau of Fisheries, Department of 
Commerce, has found that exposure to sunlight is 
detrimental to eggs, fry and fingerlings. 
The experiments, it was stated orally on Novem¬ 
ber 4, were designed to determine whether the re¬ 
markable curative results ascribed to ultra-violet rays 
and sunlight were actual. The bureau found that 
the doubts of fish culturists on this score were well 
founded, continuous exposure to direct sunlight be- 
ing found as not only of no benefit but definitely 
harmful to eggs and young fish.

TESTIMONIAL LETTER 
Wisconsin Aquatic Nurseries 
Box 331, Oshkosh, Wis. 
Gentlemen: 
On behalf of the members of the Lake Nokomis Fish and 
Game Club I want to thank you for the wonderful assortment 
of plants which you shipped us. They certainly were the best 
ever. I am positive no one has ever received any better. While 
the assortment was not large I am in hopes that the results 
from these plants will be the very best. Certainly it will hot 
be the plants fault if we do not get the results we expect to. 
Again thanking you for past favors and for the wonderful 
spirit of cooperation you have shown in this matter, I am

Gentlemen: 
Enclosed please find my order for materials amounting to 
$50.00. I forgot to mention in my last letter, but would like 
to say now, that the seed which we got from you in the Fall 
of 1931 and planted on our Hog Island property did very well 
indeed. We had a small fresh water creek in which we planted 
the wild rice and we were both surprised and pleased at the 
remarkable results obtained. All the other seeds did excellently. 
Thanking you for past favors and trusting to receive copy 
of order with planting instructions, I am 
Sincerely yours. 
Signed: ROBERT McCOMBE.
