Halibut Fishery Facing New Danger
A distinct threat to the haibut
industry is expected in the near fu
ture by the planned expansion of
Russian and Japanese trawling op
erations in waters adjacent to
Alaska.
“The effect could be, in a period
of time, practically to nullify our
halibut program,” according to
William C. Herrington, special as
sistant for fisheries and wildlife to
the Undersecretary of State.
Herrington made the statement
before a House appropriations sub
committee, and asked the commit
tee to approve $132,000 for the year
starting July 1 so the International
Pacific Halibut Commission could
survey the area from west of Sanak
Island to Kodiak Island with re
spect to general distribution of hali
but and the intermixture of halibut
and ground fish.
He said his department has re
cently received information that
the Japanese plan to expand their
trawling operations from the Ber
ing Sea, south of the Aleutian Is
lands, and the Alaskan Peninsula.
“There are also a number of in
dications that the Russians will
move into this area during the com
ing year. They have had research
vessels in the area, and they have
stated publicly that they are in
terested in the area.”
Herrington said the commission
now has no information to show to
what extent such an expansion of
Russian and Japanese fishing oper

Special services will be held Me

one hundred and ten people are

here, according to the pastor, Rev.
William L. Cummins. Services will
be held at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m.
A fellowship dinner is planned for

ations would affect the halibut pro
gram.
In response to a question Her
rington said a present treaty with
Japan provides that country will
not fish for halibrt along the
United States coast.
“However, this does not prevent
her fishing for ground fish,” he
said. “In fishing for ground fish in
this area we are sure she will take
some quantities of halibut. It could
be young as well as adult halibut
because the otter trawls with a nor
mal mesh used for ground fish in
general will take juvenile halibut.”
Herrington said Japan is doing
this now in the Bering Sea. He said
the 1960 value of the United States
and Canadian halibut catch from
the portion of the fishery now in
danger was about $7 million.
