F ishing Seasons I
To Be Flexible
WASHINGTON, OP) — Flexible
fishing seasons in Southeastern
Alaska, Kodiak, Prince William
Sound and the Alaska Peninsula
were announced today by secre
tary of the interior Krug.
His announcement was contain
ed in a synopsis of Alaska com
mercial fishery regulation revi
sions for 1948.
Krug said flexibility of the fish
ing seasons in the areas mentioned
will be assured by the delegation
of authority to fish and wildlife
service personnel in the field to
extend or curtail fishing seasons
as conditions warrant.
Other changes in regulations
provide a minimum weight as
well as a minimum length limita
tion on troll-caught king salmon.
No salmon of this species measur-1
ing less than 26 inches in length
or weighing less than six pounds
when dressed may be taken com
mercially.
Minimum limitations have been
placed on otter trawls with regard
to mesh size, method of operation
and place of operation with rela
tion to immature halibut. Otter
trawl operators also are required
to submit periodical reports in
cluding catch statistics.
In the Bristol Bay area good red
salmon run is expected this year
and only minor regulation changes
have been made.
In the Alaska peninsula area
seasonal restrictions in effect pri
or to 1947 have been restored ex
cept that the fall season will open
on August 20 instead of August
26 in other waters of the area.
In the Kodiak area, the open
ing date for salmon fishing in the
Karluk and general districts has
been changed from June 1 to June
10, except in waters surrounding
Raspberry Island, Whale Island
and Afognak, Marmot and Shuvak
Islands, where the opening date
has been delayed from June 1 to
July 10 to rebuild depleted salmon
runs. Elsewhere in the area sea
sonal limitations in effect prior to
1947 have been restored.
Secretary Krug said a uniform
season will reduce to some extent
the intensity of fishing operations
that has resulted in the past from
the concentration of gear in each
district as the various seasons |
opened. However, the secretary
added, both the opening and clos-1
ing dates of the uniform season
for Southeastern Alaska are sub
ject to revision as the runs pro
gress.
BODY OF ARTHUR KAYOULIK
FOUND NEAR KOTZEBUE

U. N. To Spend
Fortune for Site
LAKE SUCCESS, The U.
N. is getting ready to toss a five
million dollar plum to a European
city. Its choice of a site for the
1948 assembly meeting probably
will involve that much money.
It probably will go to Paris,
Brussels, Geneva or the Hague.
Secretary-general Trygve Lie
called a nine-nation committee to
meet next Monday to decide where
the 1948 general assembly will be
held. The 57 member nations de
cided here that the session would
be held in a European city to be
selected by Lie and the committee.
