Japanese Set Take of
Red Salmon At 11 Million
WASHINGTON, W — The Jap
anese government has informally
suggested a reduction of the Jap
anese take on red salmon but
further United States restrictions
may be necessary to conserve the
red salmon fishery of Bristol
Bay, Alaska.
Donald L. McKernan, director
of the Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries, gave that picture of
the Bristol Bay situation.
McKernan said the Japanese
government has agreed to recom
mend to the Japanese fishing in
dustry that it reduce its high seas
take on red salmon from the 20
million of last year to 11 million
this year.
It will be recommended also
that Japanese red salmon fishing
be reduced in areas of high con
centrations of American salmon.
“However, under the proposals
made we do not think the results
will be adequate for full conser
vation with a normal red sal
mon fishery in Bristol Bay,” Mc
Kernan said.
“The United States government
therefore is seriously considering
additional restrictions on the
Bristol Bay fishery.”
The State Department said the
Japanese government has indi
cated that in addition to the 11
million limitation on the red sal
mon catch “it would also recom
mend certain other measures
which would reduce the catch of
Bristol Bay salmon.”
However State Department
spokesmen said they were unable
to spell out precisely what the
certain other measures would be.
The spokesman added:
“We understand from the In
terior Department that for con
servation reasons in view of the
expected small run of salmon
this year there may have to be
less fishing in the Bristol Bay
area than was thought necessary
earlier.”
U. S. conservationists and fish
ing interests have worried that
because of the seasonally small
run of young salmon, the re
source may be depleted this year
by the 11 million fish catch.
