Much Information
Learned At Recent
Fisheries Meeting
ADMINISTRATIVE HEADS OF PACIFIC FISHERIES,
AT CONFERENCE HELD IN SEATTLE TWO
WEEKS AGO, SECURE DATA INVALUABLE TO
ALASKA IN HANDLING OF SALMON PROBLEMS
—SHAPE PLANS FOR 1927 MEETING
Information invaluable to Alaska and British Colum
bia in the administration of its fishery resources was laid
before the International Pacific Salmon Federation at its
recent meeting in Seattle, according to John P. Babcock,
Deputy Minister of Fisheries of the Province, who at
tended on behalf of British Columbia.
As a result of an invitation extended by Mr. Babcock,
the able representative of the Province, Major J. A.
Motherwell, Chief Inspector of Dominion Fisheries on
this Coast, and Dr. W. Clemens, of the Biological Board
of Canada, the Federation will hold its next meeting in
Victoria in April, 1927. The exact date of this conference
will be fixed by Henry O’Malley, Commissioner of Fish
eries of the United States, and chairman of the Commis
sion.
TELLS OF SALMON WORK
The work of the Federation at its
recent meeting and its importance to
British Columbia was described by
Mr. Babcock on his return in the fol
lowing statement:
“The International Pacific Salmon
| Investigating Federation is an asso
ciation of the executives and the scien
tific staffs of the fisheries departments
of Canada and the United States, and
British Columbia, Washington, Oregon
and California, which was organized
two years ago. The purpose of the
! federation is to produce through joint
j and uniform effort, the essential know
ledge required for the proper and
scientific administration of the sal
mon fisheries of Pacific coast states
and Alaska—to effectively conserve
the great salmon resources of the
North Pacific.
To Protect Salmon
“The conception of such conserva
tion held by the federation involves
the utilization of the salmon resour
ces to the fullest extent compatible
with their preservation. The associa
tion seeks to be able to say definitely
how many salmon can be taken from
a given water and still leave sufficient
for spawning purposes, so that the
supply will continue year after year
at a high level. It has repeatedly
brought out at the meetings of the fed
eration that the central idea of its
programme is the production of the
maximum yield obtainable from the
salmon fisheries and yet maintain
them. By the maximum yield is
meant the greatest production of fish
which may be taken for commercial
purposes without endangering the fu
ture supply. To provide adequately
for this the federation seeks to ascer
tain:
“1 What natural fluctuations in the
abundance of salmon occur.
“2 The causes of fluctuations, par
ticularly the immediate causes—
though the ultimate causes shoul final
ly be determined.
“3 The intensity with which the
commercial fishery is conducted and
its effect on the future supply. 1
“4 The relative value of various
measures which may be employed to
prevent depletion and to build up runs
already depleted.
Many Topics Discussed
“With these fundamental require
ments in mind, the federation at its

Seattle meetings afforded free dis
cussion of the following subjects:
“1 Collection of adequate and uni
form statistics, which are of funda-j
mental importance and should include '
not only data which will show the !
trend of the yield of each stream :
area, but the trend of fishing efforts.
“2 Tagging experiments, which have
been productive of a great deal of
valuable information relative to the
ocean migrations of salmon, and hear
ing on the relationship between sal
mon found in different regions. Such j
data are essential to reliable interpre- '
tation of statistics. The importance
of such data is well shown in the re- j'
suits obtained from the tagging off the !
west coast of Vancouver Island in the J
last two years, by which it was deter- i
mined that fish caught, tagged and
liberated there were later recaptured
in the Columbia, in Oregon, and the
Sacramento, in California, as well as
in British Columbia waters ;and by
the tagging along the Alaska Penin
sula, through which it was determined
that the fish caught in the Ikitan
Shumagin Island district were largely
from the spawning streams of Bristol
Bay.
