One of the early entries in the King Crab Queen contest is a
pretty miss of 16 who was born in Kodiak. She is Alberta Mueller,
daughter of Anna and Eric Mueller.
Alberta is a junior in the Kodiak high school studying for secre
tarial work. Her hobbies are playing the piano, sewing and ice skat
ing. A brunette, she has brown eyes.
The winsome miss has spent most of her life in Kodiak, but spent
several months in 1959 on a trip to the Phillipines and touring the
other states.
Alberta is sponsored by Anna’s Apparel and Thompson Transfer.

mg to the Territory, as Bob Simon
put it, “Like any kid I always
wanted to come to Alaska. I have
a wife, Doris, and three children,
and we’ve just finished building a
house; we plan to stay.” iRoy
Rickey, whose wife, Mary Jane,
and four children all love Kodiak,
added, “We plan to live in Alaska
the rest of our lives. Every trip we
make outside convinces us we’re
right.”
Both men served in World War
II, Mr. Simon in the Navy, Mr.
Rickey with the Army’s 10th.
Mountain Division, in which he was
decorated for aggressive action
against the enemy during the
lOth’s Italian campaign, and
both men graduated from the Uni
versity of Washington with Bache
lor of Science degrees in Fishery.
Bob Simon was employed during
his summer vacations by the Fish
and Wildlife Service to count and
identify plankton samples, and by
the Fisheries Research Institute
as an Alaska stream surveyor; also
by the university’s Fisheries School
as Fish Hatchery Assistant. He
joined the Alaska Department of
Fisheries in 1953 in Fairbanks,
came to Kodiak in ’58 in the Sport
Fishing division, and ran the hatch
ery on the base for three years. In
Kodiak he is a member of the Elks.
Mrs. Simon is a member of Eastern
Star.
Roy Rickey spent his summer
vacations working for the Fisheries
Research Institute in Southeast
Alaska, for the International
Halibut Commission on prob
lems of age determination
and catch indices of halibut,
and as a deck hand on a purse seme
tender in the Puget Sound and
Neah Bay fishery. After graduation
he worked for two years for the
Washington State Department of
Fisheries. The work entailed inves
tigations of Salmon troll fishing in
the Puget Sound area, and studies
of other fish. He resigned in 1951
and for the next three years was
a fisherman aboard purse seiners
in Puget Sound, and the Bering
Sea, False Pass, Kodiak and South
eastern areas of Alaska. Mr. Rickey
joined the Alaska Department in
1954, employed then in the water
shed division. He belongs to the
Elks, Chamber of Commerce, Navy
League, and was a charter member
of the Kodiak Aleutians Historical
Society. Both he and Mr. Simon
are also members of various biolo
gical societies.
Guy Powell is younger, took his
BS degree in Wildlife Conservation
in 1955 at Rutgers University,
served in the Army for two years,
then went back to school for his
Master’s degree at the Colorado
University Game and Fish School.
During the summers he learned a
good deal about Scuba diving which
he uses extensively here in his
underwater studies of King crab.
He joined the Department’s re
search division in 1958, is a mem
ber of Kodiak Jaycees and Toast
masters.
Roy Rickey’s job is the proper
management of commercial fisher
ies of the Westward Region which
includes the Kodiak, Chignik, Alas
ka peninsula and Aleutian Islands
area. He has management biolo
gists in each area, some of whom
have assistants.
Bob Simon’s job is to apply his
biological knowledge to the practi
cal manipulation of fishing areas
and seasons so that conservation
and rehabilitation will continue,
yet not interfere damagingly with
the socio-economic side of fishing
—the fishermen and the canneries.
Guy Powell is doing research on
King crab; much more is known
now than at the beginning of this
research in 1954, but sustained
yields from the current harvests
of dramatic proportions will de
pend upon his learning a great deal
more.
In discussing what he does and
why, Bob Simon said, “It’s quite
easy for a management biologist
to come up with a regulation or
scheme that would seem on the
surface to be very good, but which
would make it impossible for the
fishermen and companies to exist;
so, many of our ideas must be tem
pered by what is practical for the
fisheries to live with. Our job is to
see to it that our fisheries resour
ces are managed in such a manner
that we obtain maximum sustained
yield. The term embodies quite a
bit more than actually meets the
eye, and has a tendency to be over
simplified. A healthy yield depends
as much on a good industry—good
boats, a good system—as it does
on good conservation.
“If resources are managed in
such a way that industry is weak
ened, it no longer becomes porfi
table and the yield drops. We have
to keep in mind that resources can
not be over exploited, and at the
same time that people depend on
the resources. It’s as much a study
of economics and sociology as bio
logy. I believe we all feel that
a regulation that halts fleet opera
tion is pretty drastic; it’s a last
resort effort to preserve resour
ces.
Roy Rickey interrupted here to
say that in summer, “Bob manages
things practically day by day as
conditions develop. That’s where
the cooperation of fishermen
comes in—and believe me, their
cooperation has been wonderful.
Last summer we had to change the
weekly fishing period from 3 days
to 5 because the fish suddenly hit.
The changes developed in a matter
of 4 days. That’s salmon fishing.”
Bob Simon explained, “When
we set regulations for the year
they are an intimation of what we
expect fishing to be; if it doesn’t
develope the way we want it to, we
can make on-the-spot changes.”
The Department, through the
Commissioner’s legislated powers,
is empowered to do this. Since fish
are accommodating by chance
alone, flexibility of man-made
plans for them is of real necessity.
This on-the-spot planning and regu
lating has never been accomplished
to such a degree in Alaska before.
