FISH HEARING STUDIES
BEING MADE BY FISHERIES BOARD
Maximum utilization of fish
hearing facilities in the lakes of
the Territory is under study by
the Alaska Fisheries Board, ac
cording to word received from
J. H. Wakefield, chairman of the
board. Rehabilitation techniques,
successfully employed by the var
ious states in game fish produc
tion, are being used by the Al
aska Department of Fisheries in
both game and commercial fish
eries research and management.
The lake rehabilitation pro
gram entails the process of kill
ing any undesirable fish popula
tion in a lake by the use of a fish
toxicant, allowing the lake to re
main fallow until the toxicant
has dissipated and stocking the
lake with trout or salmon. The
program insures full use of the
potential fish production of a
lake by the elimination of preda
ceous fish that preclude estab
lishing a trout or salmon popula
tion. “This program in lakes can
foe compared with farming,”
Wakefield stated, ‘‘The farmer
clears the land, plants seed and
produces a crop. Lake rehabilita
tion insures the removal of all
weed fish.”
The Fisheries Board has adopt
ed a lake rehabilitation policy
for the Alaska Department of
Fisheries. The policy, in essence,
declares that the lake rehafoilita
tion technique will be used as an
effective tool, insuring maximum
fish production benefits to the
people of Alaska.
TU? rehabilitation program has
been used to good advantage in
sport fish work in fhe Palmer,
Fairbanks, and Anchorage areas.
This year the program was ex
panded to include commercial
fisheries. A lake on Afognak Is
land was rehabilitated for the ex
clusive production of red salmon.
This experiment is the first
known instance where the rehab
• itation program has been usee
t.o produce salmon, Wakefield de
clared.
The Alaska Fisheries Board is
now holding its fall meeting in
the office of the Alaska Depart
ment of Fisheries. Members of
the Board are Wakefield, chair
man, Port Wakefield; Kenneth D.
Bell, Fairbanks; Robert C. Kall
enberg, Dillingham; Nels E. Nel
son, Ketchikan; and Ira H. Roth
well, Cordova.
