(International) o o r? i 1 ) o Scientific Findings Brings Even More Marvel Over Amazing Habits of Fish o O Br DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor ;fJew York (U.R) On the ba- ,sSs of new scentific fact and theory, we may now marvel even fmore than ever over the amaz- leg ways of fish. (D In Scotland, a scentist has prc- Ctfuced proof that sea trout return Q (not only to the fresh water n (stream in which they were spawned but to the very same ,o 'little inlet of that stream, even Q (to the same stretch of gravelly 0 Jbank. q In this country, a scientist has found evidence upon which' to erect a theory that the first fish 0-, returning xo a spawning grouna (if swim at once to its outermost reaches, thereby leaving room e for later arrivals. c, W.

The recognition was in the form of a certificate from district and regional man- agers. . The certificates indicate that staff members have more than 500 hours of sick leave to their credit, or more than 1000. The 500-hour certificates were signed by A. J. Tonsing, district man ager, and the 1000-hour certifi cates were signed by S. G. Schwartz, regional manager. Three members of the Med- ford staff have more than 2000 hours of sick leave to their f credit. They are Earl H. York, Stanley Sherwood and Richard Singler, all supervisors. Those receiving 1000-hour certificates, p besides York, Sherwood and g Singler, are Otto W.

State Bar Board Elects Four Men o Portland U.R) Four men efcave been elected to the board of governors of the Oregon State Bar, to succeed four mem bers due to retire Secretary q John H.

In his report to the scien tific journal, "Nature," Shearer said this suggested that sea trout return to their native waters and do so more or less exactly -one year later. John C. Briggs, of the Univer sity of Florida, published Shear er's theory in an organ of the American Association for the Ad vancement of Science in the hope of stimulating other biologists into confirming it or knocking it down. Basically Briggs and Shearer both were trying to ex plain how millions of migratory fish can find room to spawn at the same time in the same stream. 'Outer Limit" Theory Briggs labeled his theory the "Phenomenon of Differential Dis tribution." If the first arrivals do go directly to the outermost limits of suitable spawning grounds, the next arrivals could take up the adjoining territory and thus the spawning stream would fill up with spawning fish in an orderly fashion. He found some supportive evi dence in reported behavior of the king salmon, the sockeye sal mon, the Pacific lamprey, the At lantic salmon, and even the east ern brook trout which migrates only in fresh water streams. He saw certain advantages for the fish to behave according to his theory. For one thing, the baby fish would have a better chance "an especially important factor in such fishes as salmon or trout," he said, "which are quite can nibalistic." Advantage To Fish And for another: "In some Pa cific salmon ... the territorial behavior of the female. Once the territory is selected and the spawning activities are begun the female becomes a very zeal ous gardian and remains so for a considerable period after the eggs are deposited. This may dis courage other females from pen etrating farther into the spawn ing area, especially if the stream is small. "On the other hand, territorial behavior is only poorly develop ed in the steelhead trout and the sea lamprey, and . these two species have' been observed to follow the differential distribu tion pattern." As to how some fish arrive at the spawning grounds before other fish, Briggs suggested it was due to their heredity that it must be they are "offspring of parents that showed similar be havior." But if Shearer's discovery about sea trout represented any thing typical of all migratory fish, it wouldn't matter which fish arrived first since all fish which had been spawned in a particular place in a spawning stream, would be headed for that particular place and none other.
