CONSERVATION NOTES
Correction; Two weeks ago I stated that a licence was not required for salt
water fishing. I hope I can correct this error as easily as I made it. Dy
Alaska State Law a licence i^s required for Sport Fishing in Fresh and Salt
water (except military on the Naval Reservation. ) The fishing laws will be
published again later in the summer* I'll try to keep this from happening
again.
I had a call from Mr. Dob Jones of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service at
Cold Day. (Vho by the way was recently married. Chief Tcderick was best man).
He states he should be passing through sometime soon* Among the projects on
which he is working are the importation of Ell grass to attract more water
fowl and the construction of a fish ladder in the Day of Islands region* Also
Sportsmen Kir. Jones is a good source of information for these hunting parties
planned to other parts of the Aleutions and' the mainland.
Fish Tagging is as important to fishery research as banding ducks is to water
fowl studios. Various kinds of tags are used, metal disks, platic loops, cap
sules, plastic darts, etc. Tagging explains migration habits of different
species and allows biolegists to estimate total numbers prosnet and the pro
portions that are caught or escape to spawn. Please turn in to any command
conservation agent tags etc. which we will relay to the proper authorities.
Shell fish are often dye color marked as tags are lost when shells are shed.
Safety Tip: Carrying a leaded firearm in or shooting from a vehicle is unsafe
and prohibited.
