TAKING OF SEAL ON PRIBI
LOFS THIS YEAR
WASHINGTON, June 22, (/P)—
The increasing public preference
for fish items in diet is estimated as
given commercial fishing industries
a $112,000,000 gross income in 1928.
The rate of current expenditures
indicates 1929 will be higher. Three
billion pounds of fish were taken
from the United States and Alaska
fisheries last year.
Lewis Radcliffe, acting federal
commissioner of fisheries said
‘ Though salmon packing in the
Pacific and Alaska waters is still
most conspicuous the single ele
ment of fish output in the New
England haddock fisheries proba
bly made the greatest output in the
advance of the industry in recent
years.
“Western salmon fishing season,
now under way in Alaska, turned
out over 5,000,000 cases last year.
Henry O’Malley, head of the gov
ernment fish and cultural estab
lishments, expects to stay in the
f shing grounds of Alaska all sum
mer. Mr. O'Malley believes the Al
aska catch will be stablized around
4h00,000 cases yearly.
‘The fisheries bureau is respon
sible for regulating the salmon
catching and we are hopeful that
the measure taken to conserve stock
in past years will justify itself by
maintaining, if not increasing,
yearly runs. It is impossible to tell
in advance how large the catch
will be ”
The bureau also has charge of the
Pacific seal herd. The commis
missioner expects to supervise the
taking over of 30.000 seal pelts; the
herd is setimated at 850,000 animals
and the United States, Great Brit
ain and Japan will share in the seal
profits.
