1955 FISHERIES REGULATIONS
Tne 13~S commercial fisheries
regulations issued by the Depart
ment of the Interior this week be
come effective February 20 include
no changes regarding set nets in
Alaska waters pending congress
ional action on legislation which
would allow their classification as
movable gear '.
Delegate Bartlett on the open
ing day of the S4th Congress in
troduced a bill the enactment of
which would clarify the situation
caused by an Alaska Federal court
statement that set nets are fixed
gear. The Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice interpreted this statement as
requiring that set nets would have
to be 1,800 feet apart rather than
from 300 to 600 feet apart as in
the past. Senator Magnuson this
week introduced in the Senate a
companion bill to Delegate Bart
lett's measure which would remove
any possibility of considering set
nets as fixed gear.
The regulations include a curtail
ment in the king crab fishery, an
increase in the take of herring in
southeastern Alaska, complete clos
ure of Prince William Sound to
pink salmon fishing, continhed cur
tailment of pink salmon fishing in
southeastern Alaska, possible cur
tailment of the number of red
salmon fishing days in the Cook
Inlet area and relaxation in the
Nushagak district to permit per
sonal use fishing at Snag Point.
The catch quota for herring in
southeastern Alaska will be increas
ed from 50,000 to 100.000 barrels
because "bioligical data obtained
in 1953 indicated that there was
a relatively strong incoming year
class."
The press release also mention
ed the. following changes:
"In the Alaska Peninsula area
the closing date has been changed
from July 31 to August 5 in the
southwestern and southcentral dis
tricts where imported pink salmon
runs are anticipated. A limited set
net fishery will be allowed in the
southeastern district during the
red salmon season, prior to July 5.
To Compensate in part for these
relaxations, the weekly closed per
iod has been lengthened from 60
to 72 hours prior to July 5.
"In the Kodiak area, red salmon
runs have not been good for some
time and the June openings in
these districts have been elimin
ated. The area will open uniform
ly on July 11 for pink salmon,
continuing until August 13, with
a one-week closure from July 23
to August 1. As In 1954, the clos
ure of a week may be rescinded if
the runs are strong.
"In the Cook Inlet area, the us
ual odd-year closing dates of Aug
tsu 4 and August 8 are specified.
The Cook Inlet red salmon pack
in 1950 reached a total of 207,000
cuses, which is far above normal,
but the escapements were poor
and apparently this large pack
was mace partly at the expense
of the brood stock. The 1955 run
which will be derived from the
1950 escapement will be corres
pondingly s m a 1 le r. Therefore,
If the AHaska Fishery Law is
amended prior to the opening sea
son, some curtailment of the num
ber of fishing days may be nec
essary.
Changes have been made in the
Chignik, Prince William Sound,
and Copper River areas, and also
in the Yakataga area and the var
ious gill net fisheries of south
eastern Alaska."
STATEHOOD
Seven bills which would grant
statehood to Alaska are now be
fore Congress with the introduc
tions this week of two bills in
the House combining for both Al
aska and Hawaii.
The incentical measures drop
ped in the hopper of the House
this week by Congressman Clair
Engle of California, chairman of
the House interior and Insular
Affairs committee, and Congress
man John P. Saylor, former chair
man of the territories subcom
mittee, include suggetions made
by Delegate Bartlett for the pro
visions of the bill affecting Al
aska. On the opening day of
the 84th Congress, Delegate Bart
lett introduced bis Alaska state
hood bill based largely on the
provisions approved by the Sen
ate last year in passing the com
bined Hawaii-Alaska bill,but with
certain changes adopted by Con
gressman Engle and Saylor in
introducing their Hawaii-Alaska
statehood bills this week.
