Salmon Fisheries
Summer Research
Is Buttoned Up
SEATTLE, UP) — A weather
plagued but successful season of
salmon research in the North Pa
cific has been buttoned up by the
University of Washington’s Fish
eries Research Institute.
Dr. William F. Royce, F.R.I.
director, said the institute’s two
chartered research vessels, the
Seattle fishing boats Commander
and Windward, took and tagged
more than 7,500 salmon in the
area centered around the west
end of the Aleutian Island chain.
The actual end of the research
season at sea came at 4 p.m. Sun
day when the weary crewmen of
the Commander tied their boat up
, at Fisherman’s Terrpinal and
headed home after a voyage that
began here May 20.
The Commander’s skipper, Clif
ford Anderson of Vashon Island,
said the last six weeks at sea saw
the Commander buffeted by a
series of storms that, at times,
made her research fishing im
possible.
The research program aboard
the Commander was directed by
Albert W. Palmer, institute, bio
logist, who stayed with the ves
sel the whole trip.
The research, Royce said, was
programmed in two phases. The
Windward sailed March 28 and
returned to Seattle early in Aug
ust, the early departure set in
order to allow a comprehensive
sampling of salmon stocks in the
Aleutian area early in the season.
The Commander was sent north
at the later date to allow a similar
sampling of Isfce stocks in the same
area. Both vessels fished for a
time with Japanese research boats
west of the Aleutians.
Royce said this year’s work was
significant in that a wider geo
graphic sampling was obtained in
addition to the longer season of
research. The institute has been
engaged in research in the far
Aleutians since 1956.
The research, the charters paid ;
by the Federal Bureau of Com- |
mercial Fisheries, is aimed at
piecing together a realistic pic
j ture of the distribution of salmon
in the waters centered around 175
degrees west longitude, the area
of the disputed North Pacific red
salmon fishery being worked in
tensively by the Japanese high
seas fleets.
The F.R.I. work and that done
by other agencies already has
shown to come extent that Amer
ican salmon stocks move further
to the west than was believed at
the time the present regulatory
treaty was drawn among the
United States, Canada and Japan.
