...behind. On the Chinese mainland, Fan Li's descendants have dotted the countryside with so many fishpond cooperatives that their annual production of carp and related fish (1.5 million tons) nearly equals the total U.S. catch. The Israelis, who have extensive breeding pools, learned that by injecting mullets with pituitary hormones they could cause the fish to spawn in captivity. Ordinarily the mullet -a popular tropical food fish-will spawn only in open water. Similar projects are underway on Taiwan, in India and at Hawaii's privately run Oceanic Institute, where scientists have just made an esoteric contribution...
...Cannes, skindivers soar around beds of jeweled coral-reds, violets, purples, yellows-in pursuit of sea bass and mullet. In Australia they prowl the caverns of the1,250-mile Great Barrier Reef, or play tag with the gregarious seals that frolic off Carnac Island. Near London, divers happily muddle through the ooze of a dank lake in Black Park...
Night & Day. Oscar figures that interesting stripers bite mainly at night near high tide. By day, the sight of seagulls gliding over the water at close to stalling speed told him that schools of feeding fish (silversides, English herring, mullet) were boiling along the surface, and that stripers might be right behind. At no time did Oscar go more than ankle deep into the surf-believing, with his kind, that it is sinful for man to disturb the striper's water. He scorns newfangled reels that would lessen the challenge...
...prayer is a king or snow job. Many a coed, dating up a storm, gets snowed (or sewed) for an infatuated spell called snow time (if her king is too cool, she may have to shovel out the snow). During this romance, only a bad-mannered gnome or mullet would try to hook a snake (ask for a date with the snow king's queen). But should some crude dormitory barbarian crack this campus canon, the dethroned king has been shafted or jabbed, barbed by the purple shaft or the maroon harpoon. In despair he feels clanked or clutched...
Twenty workmen on The Mullet last week were busily employed by the Irish Land Commission dividing a large estate into small farms when they discovered, to their horror, that the government surveyor intended that a fence should be driven straight through a rath, or fairy fort. They promptly downed picks and shovels and folded their arms. Their foreman sent for a government inspector, a citified cynic who believed the rath was nothing more than an ancient burial mound. He suggested that the fence wire be strung over the rath instead of cutting through...
