Japanese School
Ship Cruising To
Calif. Study Fish
Scientific investigation of the
possibilities of salmon fishing in
extra-territorial water in the vie
inity of Bristol Bay has been car
ried on during the last two
months by scientists and students
aboard the Hakuyo Maru, school
ship of the Imperial Japanese
Government Fisheries Institute.
The Hakuyo Maru is now in Seat
tie preparing to sail south to
study fishing opportunities off the
California coast.
Carrying twenty-three mem
bers of the Imperial Institute's
graduating class the Hakuyo Maru
left Japan May 12th. Purpose of
the institute curricula it to fit
students to command and operate
floating canneries.
Students are thoroughly train
ed in methods of finding the fish
at sea, in freezing and canning
operations, and in navigation.
The Hakuyo Maru carries experi
mental equipment for the packing'
of salmon, halibut, tuna, and
shell fish. Samples of water are I
also being drawn along the route j
of the voyage. These samples wilh
be shipped to Japan for analysis. I
Although a large part of the
population of Japan is engaged
in fishing, that country consumes
very little of its annual canned >
salmon pack. Most of the output
is shipped abroad. The success
the Japanese have had in world
marketing of canned salmon,
crab, and other items is an indi
cation of the ability of their fish
eries, with the aid of low labor j
costs, to go into a market at sub- j
stantially lower prices than packs1
of other countries. The project
ed expansion of Japanese fishing
operations constitutes a serious
threat in American export mar
kets.
