ANCHORAGE FISH MEN
RECOMMEND
As a representative of Henry
O’Malley, Captain Roy Cole, fish
warden, attended a fish meeting
held a week ago at the Anchor
age hotel. Attention of the De
partment was directed to need
ed corrections in fishing laws.
An earlier king season was
urged.
The need of lengthening the
season to permit a catch of sil
vers.
Attention was directed to de
structive hair seal herds.
In connection with the recom
mendations submitted regarding
seal extermination, the startling
point was revealed that a check
on a permanent herd of approx
imately 5,000 seals between Ni
kolai River and Snug Harbor,
shows the destruction of 125,000
red salmon daily during the run.
It suggested that a Federal
bounty be provided to supple
ment the Territorial award,
and the length of trap leads
brought up, and the great need
ol changes in laws governing the
opening and closing of seasons,
and the length of trap leads
and gillnets was stressed.
The fish warden, upon his lat
er visit to Seldovia, declined to
discuss recommendations con
nected with the different com
plaints and requests. Nor would
he dwell even lightly upon the
probable need, or lack of need,
embraced in the Upper-Inlet’s
suggestions.
He is not going straight to Se
attle, said Captain Cole, but will
stop in Southeastern Alaska, and
there make an exhaustive study
of spawning ground conditions,
analysis based upon reports of
this Investigation will be added
to the bureau’s informative bu
reau.—Seldovia Herald.
