44 <br /> r, <br /> Report ®f the Shellfish Warden <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> Town of Mashpee <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> I hereby submit my report for the year ending December <br /> 31, 1952. During the year 1952 there were 37 Commercial <br /> shellfish permits issued at the cost of $2.00 each. There were <br /> 169 family permits issued. I think this is very good and hope <br /> we can do better in the coming year. <br /> There was a good supply of seed scallops last summer in <br /> Waquoit bay. In August they looked good, but when the sea- <br /> y son opened in October, the eyes were very poor. The prices <br /> i, were poor for Waquoit scallops and fishermen had to take <br /> II <br /> i ;,3 their fish to Hyannis to sell. There is a good supply of seed <br /> scallops in Waquoit bay, and some in Popponesett bay this <br /> year. The weather has been good this winter, and there <br /> lv' s should be a good season this year. <br /> Quahauging was not too good`this year, due to the grass <br /> ,I! in Waquoit bay. Most of the fishermen had to fish in Pop- <br /> 7 <br /> ponesett bay:' The grass in this bay has been there for 4 to <br /> f} 5 years and there is nothing that can be done. <br /> The oysters in Popponesett bay have been nearly cleaned <br /> ki a I4 out. I have met with the Selectmen and it was agreed to close <br /> Popponesett bay to the taking of oysters for 1 year. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> I�I I VINCENT C.
