Weather Reduces Fish Restocking Bay s This Year That the quantity of flounder fry annually provided by the Federal government for each of Suffolk' s ten towns will be substantially less this year than that received in each of the past sever al year s , . due to adverse weather conditions ,, was reported in a letter received by the Brookhaven Town board last week through Con- gressman Leonard W. Hall. With his letter , in which he ex- pressed the hop e that \the bad weath- er we have been having will not un- duly diminish the . fry distribution , \ Mr. Hall enclosed a copy of a letter he had received from Acting Com- missioner Charles E. Jackson of the Bureau of Fisheries of the United States Department of Interior. \It is . not believed , \ Mr. Jackson wrote , \that the bureau will be in a position to furnish anywhere near the number of fry that we liave dur- ing the past two years. Adverse weather conditions in the vicinity of the Woods Hole , Mass., unit have greatly curtailed the collecting of adult flounders , thereby retarding hatchery activitie s considerably. On February 10 , the collection of flounder eggs was less than eight per cent of what it was for the same period in 1939. In view of this , coupled with the fact that some of the fry must be utilized for the restocking of Mas- sachusetts waters from which the eggs are secured , it appears -as though it will be necessary to re duce the various suggested allotments. \I am highly gratified to 3iote from your letter the enthusiasm manifest- ed by your constituents in the work of this Bureau. Thank you for your splendid co-operation in seeing that the flounder fry furnished are properly handled and planted in the most logical waters. \ On arrival , the flounder fry, million s of tiny wrig- gl ers , are distributed in waters on the town ' s North and South shores by the Town trustees.
