FIST TRAPS
It would become effective next
year. ' McKay’s endorsement
adds weight to the probability
the bill will be enacted in the
next congress.
When the FWS proposed a
curtailed fishing-effort pro
gram tnree years ago, trap
operators cooperated for two
reasons:
1. The obvious necessity of
permitting more salmon to
reach stream beds for spawn
ing purposes.
2. A promise by the FWS
that once the salmon fishery
showed signs of coming back
rigid regulations of traps
would be relaxed.
Under use of the word “es
tablished” in the bill, opera
tors owning' traps inoperative
next year through the FWS
hold-the-line proposal would
find themselves penalized and
closed traps would be consid
ered outside the “established”
category and, therefore, perm
anently eliminated.
In 1953, when the trap mor
atoriuim program 'became ef
fective there were about 375
traps in Alaska of which 256
were in southeastern waters.
In the southeast under the cur
tailed program only 118 have
operated the past two years.
Others remained closed.
A curtailment of 50 per cent
in the fishing effort by traps
— and purse seiners — was
possible because owners coop
erated voluntarily. j
From the viewpoint of trap
owners it would be to their
disadvantage if they agreed to
go along with McKernan in
his proposal to continue to
hold the line in 1956 now that'
the Bartlett bill has a better
chance of passage. Trap oper
ators today instead of looking
forward to relaxation of the
rigid program find themselves
being asked to lose half of
their traps before the bill ev-'
en is enacted into law. Half
of the traps would be disqual
ified under the term “estab
lished” in the bill, thereby be-,
ing eliminated permanently
because of the effective date
of the Bartlett measure.
