108 2 3 1 C. Modern Business Geography Why does Scotland, even in normal times, catch many times as large a supply of fish as Germany? Compare the position, harbors, and coast- line of the two countries. Although the United States catches more fish than England and Wales, it stands relatively low in the preceding list. Explain this fact. What becomes of the enormous catch of the United States? “ What grazing lands mean to the American, the sea means to the Jap- anese.” Explain this statement. Conservation of fish. Why does the United States government each year place in rivers and lakes billions of little fish newly hatched from the eggs? Uncle Sam hatches fish somewhat as a farmer hatches chickens. He maintains 70 hatcheries in 33 states and Alaska. In Washington more than 100,000,000 young salmon are hatched and planted in the streams each year. Suppose that when these fish are well grown, one per cent are caught and canned. If the average fish results in about 5 pounds of meat when canned, how many pounds of food would the hatcheries of Washington supply in a year? Fic. 84. A Japanese fisherman casting his net.
