Kodiak Hopeful
On U.S. Move
The Kodiak community reacted
with appproval and cautious opti
mism at hearing that the federal
government had declared king crab
a creature of the continental shelf
and requested the Russian fishing
fleet to withdraw its king crab op
erations from Kodiak waters.
Oscar Dyson, member of the
ADF&G board said “It is a good
move and a move in the right di
rection . . . the U.S. must insist
upon having its limits extended to
the continental shelf if it is to have
any fisheries left at all . . . it js
a must and must be accomplished
quickly or there won’t be any king
crab fishery left to protect. I am
most gratified as are all fisher
men,” said Dyson.
When advised of the action taken
by the federal government Vern
Hilliker sent the following wire to
members of the Alaska congres
sional delegation:
“We appreciate and thank you
for the king crab fishery of this
area. We sincerely hope the Rus
sians will honor your request for
recognition of king crab as a crea

Biologist Reports
Poor Humpy-Good
Chum Indications
Although it cannot be regarded
as any sort of prediction as to what
to expect in the way of salmon
runs this season, and he insisted
it could hardly be used as any sort
of indication, we did learn from
Steve Rogers, biologist of the Fish
eries Research Institute of the Uni
versity of Washington, that pinks
seem scarce in the part of the
North Pacific waters being studied
by the scientific party aboard the
Research Charter Vessel Ocean
Pride.
Rogers said that catches of
chums were rather good however
and pointed out that weather ham
pered their research to some ex
tent. He also said that it would be
impossible to make any predictions
until the results of the other re
search vessels, Renoun and Storm,
are known. The other two vessels
will come into Kodiak around the
middle of July.
The Ocean Pride has two more
trips out to make before departing
for Seattle about Aug. 17. It was
slated to leave on its next trip
July 5.
Nine men are aboard the vessel
skippered by Carl Haugland who
fishes king crab here during the
winter season.
There may or may not be any
connection between the small pink
indications found by the Ocean
Pride crew and the heavy pink sal
mon catches being reported by the
Japanese high seas salmon fishery.
The Japanese also have reported
below average catches of chum as
well as above average pink catches
in their commercial effort.
