Failure is more frequently from

SUCCESS
If you would revenge yourself on
‘hose who have slighted you, be suc
cessful; it is a bitter satire on their
want of judgment, for it proves you
can do without them.

f
the program which she was sent
out to accomplish. The work of
the ‘Dorothy’ during the last two
i months was to search for the
younger stages of halibut and the
one and two year groups, by means
of otter trawls. The scientific staff
hoped to find schools of these
young halibut and thus open up a
new avenue of approach to sev
eral of the problems which the
Commission have to face, one of
which is that of the great flunc
tuations in the production of
young fish, a fluctuation which
has been shown recently to apply
to flat fish.
“Observations of the conditions
of the banks at any given time
must ultimately take into account
the big and the small runs of
sockeye to the Fraser. Proper reg
ulation of the banks will, we hope,
assure the production of the nec
essary number of young fish, and
when the Commission is able to
locate the schools of young and
properly gauge their abundance,
measures will be at hand to check
up on the efficiency of the regu
lation of the fishery.
“The study of the young fish
is also important from the stand
point of the work the Commission
has already conducted upon mi
gration. It will be recalled how
Dr. Gilbert made use of the marks
on the scale of the salmon to de
termine the rapidity of growth in
both fresh and salt waters. In the
same manner, in the case of the
halibut, there is every reason to
beleive that a definite rate of
growth characterizes the young
fish in different localities, and it
is believed that we will be able to
detect on the scales and the ear
bones of the adults the general
region from which they came
just as Dr. Gilbert traced the lake
origin of the various races of sock
eye in the Fraser. The young fish,
we anticipate, will show more
sharply marked raical differences
than do the adults.
“The study of young halibut is
also important from another
standpoint. The time is coming
when small halibut will find a
ready market as fillets is the most
recent and popular way of mark
eting the catch of several food
fishes. They make the choicest
fillets and, as soon as otter trawl- ,
ing develops on this coast, we shall 1
have to face the question of the j
advisability of allowing capture of
large numbers of very young hal
ibut with trawls. When this ques- ;
tion comes up it will be necessary
for us to not only know where the i
very young halibut exist in num
bers and also their relation to the
class of fish now known and mar
keted as ‘baby chickens.’
“By the present use of the ‘Dor
othy’ we had also hoped to find
some extremely young pelagic ,
halibut. Previous efforts indicat
ed a very considerable drift dur
ing the very early stages; that
their young might drift much fur
ther west than the spawning
grounds in the Gulf of Alaska
and there gives rise to the small
one or two-year old halibut. Un
fortunately the recent cruises of
the ‘Dorothy’ have not succeeded
in getting as far west as had been
planned. The trips have not been
as successful as we had hoped.

“The weather was so bad-such
heavy seas-that the work took
more time than planned and we
have had to abandon the search
this winter because our funds
have been getting exhausted. The
staff of the ‘Dorothy’ did not suc
ceed in getting any great num
ber of very young fish, something
under 100 specimens, although
all likely localities were tried out
as far west as Kodiak Island.
“We shall try again next sum
mer when conditions are more
favorable, but then, unfortunate
ly, the fish will be older and, for
that reason, we regret their ap
parant scarcity during the winter.
“The conditions under which
the ‘Dorothy’ worked this year !
were very severe-even worse than !
when our chartered vessel, the !
‘Scandia’, was wrecked two years
ago. The disaster to the two hal- '
ibut boats, the ‘Brunvoll’ and
‘Imperial,’ at the beginning of the
present closed season, will be re- j
