Map Showing Area Where Japanese Gill Netter Are
Making Inroads in North American Salmon Stocks
WHEN THE PROVISIONAL LINE at the 175th meridian west <
longitude, as shown on the above map, was adopted by treaty
between Japan, Canada and the United States in 1953, it was
assumed that salmon stocks of North American origin were
protected.
West of this provisional line, the Japanese engage in virtually
unrestricted high seas salmon fishing with gill nets; east of it
the United States and Canadian'
nationals, in the interest of con
servation, are forbidden by law
to engage in ocean net fishing.
Now, after three years of bio
logical research by the fishery
scientists of the three nations, it
has been discovered that the rov
ing North American salmon inter
mingle with those of Asian origin
for at least 500 miles west of this
line.
Altho under terms of the treaty
Japan has agreed to abstain from
fishing North American salmon
stocks regardless of where found
in the North Pacific, the Japanese
•contend that the scientific inves
tigations are not conclusive.
At the November meeting of
the three-nation fisheries confer
ence, Canada sided with Japan,
thereby leaving the zone of inter
mingling west of the line wide
open to Japanese exploitation in
1958.
As Japan’s increasingly heavy
fishing operations threaten ex
tinction to the Bristol Bay red
salmon runs and economic ruin
for the permanent residents of
that region, the Alaska Fish and
Game Commission has drafted a
resolution to the U.S. government
requesting that it do everything
in its power to help solve this
problem.
