Biologists Survey
Fishery Potential Here
Area biologist for the Fish and
Wildlife Department, Steven Pen
noyer, accompanied by assistant
area biologist Ronald Regnart,
passed through Nome yesterday
enroute to Kotzebue and met
with a committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce.
They were going to spend some
time in Kotzebue relative to com
mercial fishing interest for shee
tfish and to try and determine if
there were enough fish to war
rant such an industry.
Reporting on other fishing on
a commercial scale, they stated
that floating canneries would be
in at Unalakleet and Shaktoolik
next season with regulations be
ing made for set nets and fishing
schedules. This would probably
be followed by commercial fish
ing activity in the Golovin area
and Teller. In these villages they
stated the program must allow
for subsistence fishing first. A
fishery was also opened last year
at Quinhagak.
There will be a tagging project
on the Yukon coupled with the
survey of subsistence fishery.
The commercial catch for 1961
at Unalakleet was 5,162 kings
and 23,730 chums and 29,539
pinks.
