His discoveries are of .special interest at this time when certain New Jersey oysternen are seeking to make war on the r^i! drum, which they charge is ruining their oyster beds. , j by the Kfdcn l Bureau of Fisheries, ! j which .places hlaine f •; oyster damage ! . upon the bearded or bi..:i; drum. President Xuiper found that in Florida the ehanne! bass is highly prized for; its food values, as well as for the fin- I • sport in catching it.

Dr. Moore give the red drum an alibi °f ravaPinK oyster b-ds. This fish feeds on small fish and crustayeans but it is not known to destroy i oysters to any serious degree," he says, j 'The destructive effect on oyster beds is | more properlv attributable to another 1 1 species, the black drum. I believe it isl the black drum that is creating havoc I the oyster beds of New Jersey coaH.. I j "I investigated a similar case a few years ago in the vicinity of Tuckertown nnd the black drum was the offender at that time. On that occasion large numbers of the fish were killed with dynamite by towing a 6tick over the schools, which are to be found in the inlets during daylight, and exploding it with a : bartyrja It. of course, will not do to | use the explosive on the oyster beds, and moreover, the fish seem to commit : their depredations chiefly at night. I ! believe the red drum, or channel bass j of the south rarely if ever proves de- . structjve to oysters.
