WARMING<\/span> ARCTIC OCEAN<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Earth’s<\/span> Tilt Modifies Currents Marine surveys recently carried out by the British Admiralty show that a “warming<\/span> up” of the Arctic Sea has been caused by an alteration in the tilt of the earth.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
This remarkable phenomenon is responsible for the rapid development of the north polar regions as Britain’s chief source of fish.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
The surveys show that the directions taken by the Gulf Stream are changing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
As a result the ice barrier is being pushed back and parts of the Arctic Sea that were formerly almost impenetrable are becoming accessible at certain seasons.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Full advantage is being taken of this change by British fishermen. Larger and better boats are being built for the arctic trawling grounds, arid improved methods adopted for handling the fish.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In place of the old carriers which took catches from the trawlers and brought them to port in wells, ships fitted with refrigerating plants are being employed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
At the landing ports cold storage warehouses have been erected where the fish can be kept in cold chambers, each fish being sealed up in an envelope to prevent the “frost” from spoiling its flavor.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The “shooting” of nets in the inclement arctic regions is not carried out without considerable hardship to the trawler crews. But they are carefully “mothered” by the ships of the Admiral-<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
ty Fishery Patrol. At the same time these patrol evssels make surveys to discover new fishing grounds.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Britain’s best quality supplies of cod, plaice, and haddock already come from the chilly waters of such districts as those in the vicinity of Bar Island, close on the edge of the Spitzbergen banks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
An officer of the Admiralty Fishery Patrol, just back from survey work in the arctic, said that an increasing demand for fish had enforced a search for new sources of supply.<\/div>\n
Where a big haul was made one day, he said, there might by empty nets the next. In this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
capricious fashion the herring had dis- appeared from the Dutch coast some years ago, while other classes of fish had moved from their old habitats in the North Sea.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Drifters and trawlers, he continued, from such ports as Aberdeen, Hull, and Grimsby have had to look elsewhere for their catches. Their search, in which they have been assisted by the Admiralty, has proved successful, and proved incidentally a story of thrilling adventure with the blizzard-swept waters of the arctic as its scene.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
