Halibut Fishing
Season Over For
Another Year
4
SEATTLE, —(>P)—Halibut fish
ing was over for another year to
day from northern California to
the Bering Sea.
Two of the fishing areas under
the international fisheries com
mission were closed June 1. The
others—from Cape Blanco south,
from Cape Spencer to the Aleu
tians, and the Bering Sea itself—
closed last midnight.
The season was described by
H.E. Lokken, manager of the fish
ing vessel owners’ association, as
one of the shortest in the indus
try’s history. The early closing
was made possible, he said, be
cause cold storage plants at close
in Alaska harbors speeded trips
by fishing vessels.
The commission closes the sea
son when the quotas are obtained.
