Given a Scientific Name by the Gov ernment Ktlt Co-nimlaadon and , Hay Deeume Valuable a : ... an Article of Food. A new species of shad has been dis coveredin this country . It inhabits the Ohio river, and ha.s befii named by the authorities of the I'nited States fisJi commission at Washington "Alosxi Ohiensis." From time to time the fish commis sion had. heard of thecaU-hiiijrof hfcnd in the Missi.ssij))i basin, and as long afro as Prof Haird called attention to the occurrence of shad in the Ouachita river in Arkansas. But it was not un til recently that the members of the lish commission procured s; wiinens of the fish, which when examined was found to be a new species of shad, dif fering in many important particulars from shad as taken from the North river and from other waters on the Atlantic seaboard, says a Washington report. These new shad have been caught by means of seines light-leaded so that they would fish the upper few feet of water rather than the bottom. This method of fishing was fl rst adopted in order to get the "spoonbill cat," which, when running, swims close to the sur face. When the nets were hauled in it was found that the shad had been cap tured at the same time. The two f pe des of fish npoear to run together. The principal seining ground has been near Louisville, below the falls of the Ohio and between Rock island and the In diana shore. All the known facts regarding the distribution and habits of the Ohio shad indicate that it has regular runs, like the common ,hal. It appears in the Missisippi on the borders of Coahoma County, Miss., about the middle of Mrrch; in the low er Ohio about a month later (April 20), at Louisville still a little later (April 2S to May 20), and in the Kanawha river at Montgomery, West Va., in the lat ter part of May. The Ouachita, river, Arkansas, from which shad have been reported, has its month in the Red river, near the con fluence of the latter with the Missis sippi, more than 200 miles below Coa homa, and only about 20O nii'ps from the fiulf of Mexico. Althoutrh it has not been proved that Hipsf shad come up from the Culf of Mexico, it is re garded as certain that they do. and that they rrf as truly anad romons as is the Atlantic shnd. Whether important fisheries for the Ohio shad can be established remains to be determined. Tn the first place, it is not yet known whether the fish is commercially abundant. It is con sidered not at all improhjil'le that its apparent scarcity may be due merely to the fact that the methods of fishing in vogue in the Miss-Nsipoi basin have not been such as would prove effective in the rapture of shad. (Jill nets and trap nets are scarcely known, and where seines are used they are usually leaded so ns to fish the bottom, and are hauled mostly during the daytime. Shad might very well be present in abundance and remain forever un known ?o long as the present fishing methods are continued. Many plants of Atlantic shad have leen made by the United States fish commission in the waters of the Missis sippi basin the first in 174 and the last in 1S93 and although none of the planted shad has since been received by the fish commission for identifica tion, and the rapture of none has been fully authenticated, it does not follow by any means that none has survived. It is regarded as by no means improb able that the Atlantic shad may now be abundant in the gulf and its tribu tary streams, and that a thorough investigation may establish the fact. The spawning time of the shad in the Ohio river is not earlier than the 10th of June. The numerous examples seen at Louisville May 1j to 19 were far from ripe, and it is regarded ;ts doubtful if any of them would have spawned much before the middle of June. As an article of food the Ohio shad does not yet seem to have appealed to the citizens of the Missi.-sippi valley, t Louisville they sol at a low price, the price received by the fisherman being but two cents a pound, the same that was paid for carp, "buffalo. " and toothed herring. Those who are fa miliar with the delicious Atlantic shad and who know how tn pre;i::re it find the Ohio species not at all inferior. If the shad should be found t be present in the Missi- iss ippi and its tributaries in sufficient numbers to justify the establishment of permanent fisheries each sprimr. there is, it is be lieved, little doubt but that it would soon become quite as highly prized ;i its near rolative in the Atlantic coastal streams.
