for age determination and other
biological measures to determine
the type of fish. One study conduct- ’
ed was tba .determination of the
period of spawning and mortality
during this period.
s Dr. Royce stated that Research ,
L also did some tagging in Cook In
. le:. “It seems thore is a great deal J
of wandering of these tagged fish,”
. he said. On the subject of preda
[ tors, he stated Research is trying
, some methods of control.
It was^bri>u|ht?out at the hear
■ ing thatVthe J|alipn and the hair
seal p resnn tyrne re and more of a
problem.. Dr, Howard Tate, the
next speaker, stated that FWS is
attempting to do something about
them. “Before we can do anything
about them, we must know some
thing about them,” he stated. The
Service is seeking to find out how
many there are, what is their sig
nificance to salmon and, if control
is necessary,, the m e t h o d of
control. “Aerial photography
seems to be the answer to the
counting prob’em,” he said. “Also
we are studying tte Stomach con
tent of the sealion and its feeding
habits.”
King Crab was next discussed.
The assembled fishermen learned I
the FWS had negotiated three con- j
tracts for tt.o study of the King f
Crab. One was with the Alaska “
Department of Fish and Game -
here in the Kodiak area; one with
Dr. Richard Van Cleayo, Univer
sity of Washington, and a third
with the University of California.
Japanese fishing on the high
seas was next discussed. Dr. Royce
showed slides of Japanese fishing
and taking of salmon. He stated
that in the Bristol Bay area there
had been salmon that had been
wounded by nets—“about ten per
cent after July 12th.” This amount
ed to about one recent of the
total run of Bristol Bay, her said.
“It appeared that the Japanese
crtuia have been .taking sorr-i of
the Bristol Bay salmon,” he. said.
“The Japanese fish for King Crab
in this area, and have b.con investi
' gated many times, but no one has
ever seen any evk’-vnce of salmon
or salmpn gear in, this fleet.”
