Is li a Chum, a Sock eye. Or a Coho?
I Nome area fishermen have re
I ported fairly large catches of sal
| mon during the last two weeks,
j and the colorful racks of drying
I fish offer proof of the good fish
I ing.
j Nearly all of the fish on the
j local racks are either dog or pink
salmon, but a few are reds. Con
trary to frequent reports, few sil
ver salmon have been taken this
season; silvers will run the latter
part of this month,
j Perhaps the erroneous reports
stem from a practice of giving all
silvery-colored salmon the label
“silver salmon.” Silver salmon in
deed are silvery-colored, but so
are most of the others when first
entering fresh water.
The five species of Pacific sal
mon, all of which occur in Sew
ard Peninsula waters, can be iden
tified, however and the following
characteristics are diagnostic.
Three of the five Pacific sal
mon have distinct black spots on
their backs and tail fins, whereas
the other two have no distinct
spots, although fine black speck
ling is frequently present. Those
with distinct spots are the pink
(otherwise known as humpies),
king (also termed Chinook or
spring salmon), and silver sal
mon (also called coho). Those
without distinct spots are the
red, or sockeye; and the dog, or
chum.
Pink salmon, which range in
size from 3 to 10 pounds but aver
age about 5 pounds, can be dis
tinguished from the other two
salmon with spots, by the size of
State Department Urges
Japan Hold Up Sending
Freezer Ship to Alaska
! WASHINGTON, OB— The State
| Department has urged Japan to
I hold up a plan to send a refriger
ator ship into Alaska’s Bristol Bay
to buy salmon, the office of Rep.
Thomas Pelly (R-Wash) said.
An aide said the State Depart
ment’s view, expressed in a let
ter, generally agreed with Pelly’s
1 protest earlier this month against
| a plan for a Japanese ship to buy
3,000 tons of Alaska red salmon
| for processing in Japan.
: “The Japanese have been urged
I to do nothing to implement the
I proposal until a satisfactory meet
j ing of minds has been reached,”
the State Dept, wrote Pelly.
The letter said the department
“has taken the tentative position”
that the salmon proposal “is not
consistent with a North Pacific
fisheries agreement.
“We have informed the Ameri
can embassy in Tokyo that any
attempt to proceed with the proj
ect now might lead to adverse
public reaction and other diffi
culties,” the letter said.
United Air Lines Orders
11 More Boeing Jet 720s
SEATTLE, Wl — United Air
Lines has announced it will buy
11 more Boeing medium - range
720 jet transports, bringing to 29
the number it has on order.
W.A. Patterson, line president,
said a letter of intent for the 11
| new planes has been initialed and
a contract will be signed by Sept.
1. The cost was placed at about
45 million dollars and delivery
date in 1963.
The increase in United’s pur
chase of 720s boosted Boeing’s
total commercial jet sales to 234.
Panama Rejects Suggestion To
Cut Sugar Export Quota to U.S.
PANAMA, Iff*—The Panamanian
government has rejected a sug
gestion by nationalists that it can
cel an increase in its sugar ex
port quota to the United States.
An offical spokesman said that
Panama negotiated the increase
last year and it had nothing to
do with the U.S.-Cuban dispute.
their spots. In the pinks, the spots
are large with the largest at least
as long as the diameter of the
whole eye of the fish; whereas
the silvers and kings have smaller
spots of which the largest is about
equal to the diameter of the pupil
of the eye.
Silver salmon, which average
about 8 pounds, but which grow
to 31 pounds, can be distinguished
from the kings by the color of the
flesh at the base of the teeth of
the lower jaw. In kings the flesh
is dark, but, in silvers the area
is pale. In addition, silvers gen
j erally have black spots only on
the upper halft of the tail. Kings
| usually have spots on both tail
lobes.
The two essentially spotless
salmon, the reds and the dogs,
can be distinguished generally by
their size. The reds range from
3V2 to 6 pounds, and the dogs
from 5 to 18 pounds.
A more accurate method of dis
tinguishing the two species in
volves the number of gill rakers
on each gill. The gill rakers are
projections that grow forward
from each gill, and the number
and shape are fairly consistent
for each species. Red salmon nor
mally have 30 to 40 rakers on the
first gill arch, and the rakers are
long, slender, rough and closely
set. In dog salmon, however, the
rakers on the first gill arch us
ually number only 19 to 26 and
they are short, stout, smooth and
widely spaced. In essence, if you
can’t identify a red or dog sal
mon by size alone, check the num
ber of gill rakers.
All salmon fishermen are urged
to check carefully each fish they
catch, for $25 may be at stake.
At least some of the salmon
tagged on the high seas by var
ious research teams have tags of
fering rewards as high as $25,
and some of those tagged fish
could be stock from this area.
If a tagged fish is captured, be
sure to record the date of cap
ture, the species of fish, and the
location of capture, and submit
the data along with the tag, to the
address on the tag. If that pro
| cedure seems too bothersome,
[ take the fish and tag to the local
Fish and Game office and the in
formation will be recorded and
I submitted for you.
j Let’s hope a few fishermen
catch the $25 variety.
