MBITS OF OUB FISHES Parental Care Given Their Young, Necessity of the Proper Environment. WAWASEEMHMROUNOS By Geo. , HI Miles, President of the Ha- ■ teasee Protective Association.. While many of our fishes—notably pike and other members of tbe perch family—simply deposit their spitwn and leave them to their fate,, there are many others that guard their nests and their young with a truly parental care. It is the duty of the female bass to clean off a nest and deposit her spawn in it. She then turns it over to the male and leaves it. After feoundising the eggs he takes a position oyer them and, With his tai) and fins, for 36 to 48 hours carefully and continuously brushes Hhe sediment off them until they are hatched. Should he be removed during this time and tbe eggs deprived of tlrs careful brushing not any cf them would hatch. After the young are hatched they remain for six to seven days fast in the nest, each nourished hy a sac of the egg that remains attached to it, during which time the father stands guard over them. And he is a most savage and corageous protector Have no fear that any dogfish or pickerel or carp is going to destroy his family, for he is more than a match for any one of them however much they may over size him. At the end of this week the little fellows come to the surface of tne water and begin to swim —ten thousand of them if they are the large mouthed bass and five thousand if the small mouthed—all in a black circular bunch as big as a wash tub, with the father directly under them, ready to charge Out and drive away any enemy that may. approach. Thus he guards them for another week or ten days, when they seperate and hide themselves in the mosses at the bottom, where they subsist on the insect life with which these mouses abound, until they are an inch .or more long* and are fleet swimmers enough td get oufof the way of danger. Catfish are noted for the parental care with which they guard and protect their young. With them, too, most often the work is turned over to the male after the spawn is deposited in the nest, but frequently the parents join in it. And the male assists in excavating a sort of nest in shallow water and iq sandy, ground. After the eggs are laid they are not only carefully brushed and cleaned., as are the eggs of the bass, but are aerated by being taken into the mouth and blown out again at intervals until they are batched. The young are followed and protected much as are bass, until they are able to take care of themselves. Fish never deposit their spawn in ■ the nests until the water is At exact- , ly the proper temperature for hatching them, hence tbe spawning season is controlled very much by the , weather. There are very few lakes that have the e mall mouthed black bass that belong almost exclusively to our rivers, because in but few of the lakes are there proper bedding grounds for them. They must have a gravelly bottom in the proper depth of water, in which to construct their nests, so that their spawn may be attached to pebbles, while the spawn of the large mouthed bass is attached to the ordinary mosses found in all the lakei. They escaped extinction in Lake Wawasee by a very narrow margin. The proper bottom for then- nesting is there, on some of the flat* at> the south end ol the lake, but the/water over these flats is almost toe. deep. It takes so much longer than it ought to reach the proper ture for their spawning t.ldat they spawn a month later than do the large mouthed bass, which is altogether unnatural, and were the writer a little deeper would not s|>awn at all and would shortly beXjme extinct. I More than fifteen yeap ago a foolish attempt was mads tJ stock Wa-

wasee Lake with wall-eyed pike, and five millions of fry from the government hatcheries were put into it. They have done poorly. Now and then one of them is caught, but they are growing scarcer instead of more plentiful and will no doubt shortlv disappear altogether. Most of have been caught were of the original ones planted in the lake, and it is evident that few, it any, of them have ever been hatched and raised there. There is something wrong with the environment. What it is 1 do not know. But if it were not, wall eyed pike would have been in the lake naturally. After the ice age and the melting of the glacieis the waters of all the northern section ot cur country about the great lakes were continuous and the fishes in them passed freely from one section to another, and when these waters receded until a lake was formed probably all the species existing in the whole area were land locked witbin it. Now, these species that found the proper environment bred and continued, while those that did not, gradually became extinct. Thus oftentimes lakes near each other have ’different species of fi-li, though there is not anv doubt tint in the not extremely remote past they were but parts of one lake. Hence it is folly to attempt to stock a lake with fish that ought to be in it naturally, and woultr be if the environment were favorable for them there. Soma years ago our neighbors over in Michigan, at considerable expense; foolishly attempted to stock their streams with eels. The fry they planted did very well, and indeed, one of them may possibly be caught now and than down to this day. But inasmuch as eels are always hatched in salt water and all the streams cf Michigan empty into the lakes the expiriment was a failure. The eels that are in tbe Tippecanoe lakes south of us come all the way from the Gulf of Mexico. Hatched in salt water the little eels seek the streams ‘and follow them for thousands of miles, up to their very sources. In their old age they return to the sea, spawn once, and die. The falls of Niagara have been sufficient obstruction to keep them out of the waters tributary, to lhe great lakes. En vironment is every thing. Proper depth and temperature of water, proper breeding grounds and proper and extensive brooding and feeding grounds —these are the things required in a first class fishing lake. And in all these I doubt if Wawasee is excelled by any lake in the whole world. Its breeding grounds for such.fishes as find their proper environment there — pike, large and small mouthed bass, crappies, bluegills, perch, rock bass, bull heads etc. —is ample, and the brooding and feeding grounds cover about three fourthsoftbe whole lake, over which the water is shallow (from four to eight feet deep) and the bottom in these shallows is covered with kari moss that swarms with insect life on which the infant fishes subsist.
