We may con- clude that the older the i)laice gets the more valuable it is as a machine for conxerting animals like the sand dollar and sea urchin into food sf'talile for DEATH RATE. During the first year while the fish is in the egg and fry stages, the death rale nuist l)e very high, so high indeed in the bay of Fundy and Passiui'a(|U(Hldy bay that apparently not a single egg hatches out. Because of the number of old fish in this region wry few eggs are to Ix' found .ind of these none seem to reach the last stage previous t<) hatching. In the gulf of St. Lawrence on the other hand the conditions arc more favourable and a high percentage of the eggs, which arc very abundant, hatch. The fry are likewise numerous, but much less so than the egg:;, there being one larva to 10 eggs, certainly no more. The older fry are still fewer in number, so that onK- a fraction of the young spawned each year cwt change into the adult form and reach the bottom. We will consider the death rate of the adult fish in connection with our discussion of the stock. 26.
