MORE ON HALIBUT
(Continued lrom Page 4.)
*—the chartered halibut fishing vessel,
Scandia, was wrecked and all the ex
pensive deepjsea apparatus was lost.
The season was too far advanced to
“■permit of further work. We know,
j however, that the results will prove,
of great importance in connection with
the facts indicated by other lines of
investigation, and we hope during the
coming waiter to add essential facts to
our knowledge.
Basis for Regulation
“The percentage of mature on dif
ferent banks, the age of maturity and
the relative rates of growth on dif-j
ferent ’banks also contribute, with the j

above facts, to building up a founda
tion upon which methods of regulation
can be safely built. This is particu
larly true of the demonstration that
the younger fish can be treated and
protected as separate units, bank by
bank. So complete is the information
at hand that tlm commissioners have
a splendid basis upon which to judge
of the results of any regulations in ef
fect or proposed.
“■The commissioners were necessari
ly well pleased with the progress the
director and his scientifically trained
staff have made, and so expressed
themselves, but there is much more
to be accomplished before the commis
sion will be able to advise their gov
ernments as to practical steps that
may be taken to cbnserve the halibut.
Further meetings will be held th:s fall,
when all the commissioners can be in
attendance. In the meantime it is
proposed to invite the principal of^
fleers of the fishermen’s associations,
the Vessel Owners’ Association and
the leading halibut dealers on the Pa
cific coast to visit our offices at the
University of Washington, eattle,
where the director and his staff will
show them the nature, of the data that
has been compiled—in order that they
may be fully informed of the drift of
the evidence which the commission
has accumulated. This will be fol
lowed by a general meeting, when all
interested parties will be asked to ex
press their views. Following that
conference the commissioners will
draft an interim report for presenta
tion to their respective governments.*’
A Difficult Problem
Asked as to the nature of the rec
ommendation the commissioners
would recommend, Mr. Babcock re
plied that the commissioners had not
yet reached any conclusions.
“The question,” he said, “was most
[complex. It is still an open question
as to whether the fishery can be con
servingly administered. We are deal
ing with a deep-sea fishery extending
j from Oregon to Bering Sea, a fishery
that the present is engaged in by Cana
dian and American fishermen only,
but which is open to the nationals of
’other countries. Granted that the
banks off the coast up to Southeastern
Alaska have all been depleted, and
that there are banks yet untouched in
j Northwest Alaska and Bering Sea to
be opened, the devising of a system of
regulation, it must be admitted, is
something in the nature of a real
problem. We already have the opin
ion of almost every captain in the Can
adian and American halibut fishing
fleets. With few exceptions they ad
.vocate the closing of certain banks
such as those off Masset and the Port
lock bank. Others would go further
and close other “old” banks, ntil it
is tried out no one is possessed of the
knowledge necessary to say just what
the effect of closing such banks would
have on the fishery. It might or might
not improve the general situation.
Would Be Experimental
“The closing of the Masset and Port
lock banks at the present time for ex
perimental purposes would at least
not affect the total catch materially.
The fish taken there are all immature
and the bulk too small for the mar
ket. However, any attempted regu
lation can be regarded only in the way
erf an experiment. If those banks
were closed for a period of years they
might produce a lot of breeders and re
seed themselves, or they might not.
Who can tell? If they are to be
closed for a period sufficient to re
seeed themselves, how can Canada and
the United States best take joint and
uniform action? If they are closed
they will have to be watched and the
results of closing scientifically ascer
tained. It’s a bridge we have not
reached yet, but we are on our way
toward it.”
