Annual Report of Shellfish Constable
During the past year a total of 610 bushels of various kinds of shellfish seed was planted, classified as follows:
50 bushels oyster seed
100 bushels scallop seed
460 bushels clam seed
A report showing the amount of State participation in the clam reseeding project will be found on another page.
The oyster seed was furnished by the Division of Marine Fisheries with an actual cost to the Town of $2.00 for plant- ing.
Scallop seed also furnished by the State with a cost to the Town of $14.00 for motor boat hire and labor, half of which is refunded by the Town of Orleans.
I have wanted for a number of years to try reseeding scallops in the Town Cove. Previously I have been unable to obtain the seed. It is my opinion that the Cove will grow scallops again, as it has in the past, providing enough parent stock is introduced. Thanks are due to Mr. Barnes of the Division of Marine Fisheries, Mr. Eldredge of the Matta- poisett Board of Selectmen and Bernard C. Collins of East- ham for their cooperation which made the obtaining of this seed possible.
The Municipal quahaug beds in the Salt Pond, River
(40)
and Hemmenway's Channel were opened for shellfishing last September. Previous to the time of opening I consulted with Bernard C. Collins relative to price. He agreed to buy all cherrystones at $1.75 per bushel. In three weeks he bought 368 bushels. During that same period 100 bushels were taken by fishermen who did not sell to Collins. Subsequently about 50 bushels more were harvested by the commercial fisher- men. Approximately 50 bushels were taken from the River and Pond for family use. I estimate that at least 100 bushels remain in the River at the present time. This makes a total of 568 bushels harvested and 100 bushels on hand at a value of $1,100.00 The investment by the Town was exactly $189.93, which covered all items connected with the purchase and planting.
I believe, however, that our largest return will be de- rived from the set of seed which was received from these quahaugs. The Pond and River are well seeded and even as far down as Hemmenway Bar at the beach I have counted 22 quahaug seed to the square foot. It would appear that the planting of quahaugs is a sound investment and should be continued on a larger scale. There is little doubt that if a policy of continuous seeding was adapted, that our Nauset Flats could be brought back to something like their old pro- ductiveness.
It must be borne in mind that without the cooperative help of the Division of Marine Fisheries, both financial and otherwise, very little could be accomplished in the matter of shellfish propagation with only $200 a year to work with. Undoubtedly the knowledge by the Division that we are al- so willing to cooperate with them, reacts in a favorable man- ner for us. In pursuance of this policy we have furnished, in addition to clam seed transplanted for our own use, a mat-
(41)
ter of 1,500 bushels for planting in other Towns of the Com- monwealth.
This amount together with our own provided a pay- roll of about $1,400.00 which was distributed among the various fishermen taking part in the work. This seed was taken from areas that have always been ravaged by birds in winter and represents a clean savings. This money, of course, was furnished by the Division of Marine Fisheries. No cost whatever accrued to this Town because of seed furnished to other Towns.
A good Spring and Fall set of clam seed was received on most flats, and in certain fast growing sections, steamer clams will be large enough to dig next Summer.
As will be noted by the accounting between Eastham and Orleans the net return on permits, etc., was $319.22 leaving a balance of only $230.78 net cost to Town for prop- agation and protection of shellfish. It is my earnest recom- mendation that the appropriation for propagation be in- creased somewhat, if possible.
