PAGE EIGHT Fish In Tanks Aboard Ship Become Seasick Declares Collector NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Fish, when traveling in tanks on steam ships, get seasick just like humans, but go a step further and often bring fellow tank passengers to the verge of death by the poisons they emit. Authority for this statement is Louis Mowbray, widely known fish collector who is credited with having transported more fish across the ocean than any other person. Mr. Mowbray, who makes regular trips to Florida waters for speci mens of the New York Aquarium, explained his method of transport ing the fish at the conclusion of a trip rocenf'v. After a fishing expedition is com pleted the species are assorted and placed in the tanks aboard the ship. The tanks are connected with pipes through which running water is pumped from the ocean from the time the boat leaves Key West nn* til it arrives at Cape Hatteras. On the way north the boat follows the Gulf Stream, the water of which usually is 80 to 82 degrees, Fahren heit. When Hatteras is reached in the early season—February, March and April—the pumps are shut off as the water then becomes too cold for the fish of the Florida waters. Heated air then is pumped into the tanks. Mr. Mowbray explained that tropical fish become inumb in wa ter wit ha temperature of 65 de grees. "While a fish is not bothered in the least by the big waves in its natural home,” Mr. Mowbray ex plained, “the abrupt movement of the waters in the tanks is such that the fish cannot keep its equilibrium, and must submit to the rolling of the ship. He doesn’t turn over on his back when he is sick, but simplv ejects his food in much the same manner that a human does. When this happens I have to take the fish out of the tank for the gastric juices and thrown-up contents will kill the otther fish.” Tn order to minimize seasickness as much as possible among his fish travelers, Mr. Mowbray withholds all food from them for two days before starting the trip and some of , them are not fed during the. entire , trip. He finds it necessary, how- . ever, to feed the more delicate fish , moderately en route. When the fish get hungry they will eat their companions, he declares, and for this reason great care must be tak en to put fish of the same size and species in company.
