The method of quaternionic analysis in fluid mechanics was developed by several generations of mathematicians with numerous important results. We add a small result in this direction. Actually, we introduce a new reformulation of fundamental solutions of the Stokes system within the framework of quaternion analysis and construct integral representations for its solutions.
