KING SALMON
SEASON TO BE
5 DAYS EARLIER
Definite informa
tion concerning the
fishing season dates
for Lower Cook Inlet
still was not avail
able in Seldovia to
day.
Information from
Anchorage reports
that the over-all
season in the entire
territory has been
shortened as much as
a month. The season
curtailment was made
to protect late-run
ning salmon.
The king salmon
season on Cook Inlet
is to open five days
earlier than last
year and will close
four days earlier in
order to give greater
protection to the
pink salmon runs.
New regulations
also imposed restric
tions for the protec
tion of Dungeness
crabs. Maximum and
minimum depths of 175
and. 120 meshes were
prescribed for beach
seines and the Alaska ' .
peninsula was divided
into five fishing
districts,
