Halibut Nurseries
Must Be Established
To Preserve Species
Among the important conservat
ion problems considered by the
meeting of the American Fisheries
society reported by an American
Game Protective assocition bullet
in, held in Seattle, Washington,
August 29, 30, and 31, was the pro
tection and preservation of the
halibut.
Much oi the area on which hali
but were formerly abundant is not
now profitable fishing area, due to
depletion, although the annual
harvesting of halibut fisheries am- j
ounts to $7,000,000. A novel plan ;
for restoring halibut in depleted J
areas of the Pacific has been work- j
ed out jointly by the United States I
and Canadian fisheries experts, j
Dr. William F. Thompson, direct
or for the International Fisheries
commission of Seattle, Washington,
has announced details of a plan to
create two deep sea nurseries for
J the protection of halibut in the
| North Pacific. The program is
i based upon the results of a three
! year study of the home life and ha
bits of halibut, conducted by Dr.
Thompson and a staff of fellow
scientists. They found that the
halibut grounds, particularly in its
early days of its youth, do not
produce, consequently, it is import
ant not to catch them while small
as they have not yet reached the
J reproductive stage. « <
halibut reaching the market have
been taken before reproductive ma
turity.
! It now takes six fishing units to
j catch as many halibut as one did
i 20 years ago, while fishing is car
ried on over more than 1800 miles
of coast against 600 mlies 20 years
ago, and the catch is no i
|it was then.
One of the halibut nurseries, to ,
be established will be off Graham
j Island, near British Columbia, and i
the other off Noyes Island in'
I Southeastern Alaska. These nurs
eries will be closed to fishing. An- !
j other method for preventing the
I taking of immature halibut to be
i adopted is the prohibition of the
j use of small hooks.
The life history of halibut has
been learned largely by a system
(of tagging, which is al-■> i
by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries
with reference to several other
species.
Halibut, owing to their great im
portance commercially, have been
singled out as of sufficient conse
quence to warrant a special inter
national treaty between the United
States and Canada.
MAY SOLVE MYSTERY
I The mysterious disappearance
j nearly a quarter of a century ago
!of a man named Dempster is be
lieved to have been solved with the
finding of a skeleton on Minnie
Creek, about 15 miles from Wise
man.
FOX FARM AREA
Within an area of only three
square miles near Kusiloff there
are sexen fox ranches, with an
eighth, that of Perry Cole, an east
ern fur farmer, now in the process
of construction and calculated to;
be in operation soon on a large!
scale. Most of these n...
been producing quality pelts fo’ j
over five years. Perhaps the oldest
established farm is that of Abram !
Erickson who was the highest ex
hibit at the Auchorage'fair. Erick
son first began raising foxes in
1920. His ranch at the present
time contains over 250 high grade
fur-bearers.

WHAT PART DO YOU TAKE
IN THE NATIONS BUSINESS
The field of commercial activity has
two kinds of workers; those who are
content to labor all their lives for
others , and those who, when the time
is ripe, launch out into projects of their
own. It is this latter type which con
trols the destinies of the giant factor
ies and vast railroad systems that feed
the nation. Consult with us regarding
your contemplated undertaking. We
can aid you.
