Plan Changes In Fishing Regulations
As Fish And Game Board Meets Nov. 18
Proposed fishing regulations
governing Alaska’s commercial
fishing operations will be reviewed
in Juneau November 18 as the
state fish and game board holds a
public hearing on the 1960 controls
as outlined from hearings conduct
ed in the various communities by
the various advisory boards.
The coming season will be the
first over which Alaska has exer
cised authority. The state will
assume control January 1, 1960.
Heretofore, this was the respon
sibility of the federal government.
In general, the proposed com
mercial regulations follow pre
vious federal control measures.
One of the chief innovations
scheduled will give Fish and Game
Commissioner Clarence Anderson
broad authority to control fishing
periods by field announcement.
This is designed to allow extend
ed fishing if salmon runs justify
heavier catches, or to close down
fishing efforts in various areas if
escapement fails to match require
ments.
The regulations, among other
things, prohibit operation of any
seine boats longer than 50 feet in
all the waters of Alaska. Previous
ly, ithe bigger boats could operate
west of False Pass, near the end
of the Alaska Peninsula.
The proposals also would pro
