PROPOSED CHANGES IN
ALASKA REGULATIONS
U. S. Commissioner of Fsh
eries Henry O’Malley has given
out the following summary of
changes that will probably be
embodied in the legulations for
1927:
Bristor Bay.—Both opening
and closing dates are advanced
to the 24th of the month, mak
ing the fishing season from
June 24 to July 24. No other
change of importance.
Herendeen Bay-Port Moller.
—No important change: total
weekly closed period remains
at 84 hours, leaving 84 hours
open, at different times in the
week.
Peninsula, South Side.—Salm
on fishing will close Aug. 20,
eliminating considerable fishing
in the latter part of the sum
mer. Weekly closed season
unchanged, except that the same
weekly closing will be requir
ed throughout the fishing sea
son.
Chignik Area.—Closed areas
will be increased, leaving only
two of the present trap sites
available; power gill-net boats
will not be permitted.
Kodiak Area.—A spacing of
traps 1 mile apart may be re
quired in this area, and some
new closed areas are contem
plated. Some further action in
a part of this area is under
consideration but has not been
definitely decided upon.
Cook Inlet.—A space of 2,
500 ft. will be required between
traps in this area. No other
change.
Prince William Sound.—Sum
mer salmon fishing season lim
ited to period from June 8 to
Aug. 5, inclusive, with a 48
hour weekly closed period.
Fall fishing season will be from
Aug. 25 to Sept. 23.
Copper and Bering Rivers.—
No change in either salmon or
clam regulations.
Yakutat'r District. — Salmon
fishing in the Dry Bay section
will not open until June 1,
and a 60-hour weekly closed
period is contemplated for both
Yakutat and Dry Bay.
Southeast Alaska Area.—Few
notable changes are contemplat
ed, aside from the establish
ment of some additional closed
areas, where the escapement
has been considered inadequate.
A large area will be closed
around Anan Creek, and a
closed area will be established
around Staney Creek on the
west coast, where some trap
sites and purse-seining grounds
will be eliminated. Boundaries
of the West Coast district at
the north end of Prince of
Wales Island will be shifted
slightly to include the Pt. Col
poys traps.
Herring Fishery.—A 36-hour
weekly closed period will be
established for herring in all
districts. Otherwise ‘the re
gulations for the Kodiak and
Cook Inlet areas will be un
changed. On Prince William
Sound, herring fishing will
open June 10 instead of 24, as
last season, and close Sept. 30.
Herring fishing in Southeast
Alaska will alsoclose Sept. 30.
