Juneau — Fishermen and
members of the salmon in
dustry were charged directiy
with responsibility for the de
pletion of Alaska’s salmon
runs.
Dr. W. F. Thompson, direc
tor of the Fisheries Research
institute, made his assertion
in the course of a lecture on
his investigations of the
Southeast Alaska pink salmon
runs.
While addressing a Cham
ber of Commerce sponsored*
dinner meeting at the Baranof i
Hotel the noted marine bio
logist said: “To speak bluntly,
depletion of the salmon is
your fault. It is due to your,
misuse of the fishery. It is
due, if you will pardon the ex-!
pression, to your ignorance.” i
In an earlier talk Dr. I

not base the escapement on
numbers alone.
He explained that larger es
capements have been allowed
in the poor years of the red’s
live year life cycle, while the
escapement has been held j
down in the better years.
Investigation, he said, has
revealed that the direct con
trary practice might be the
better. Escapement of fish
must be based on time and on
the kind of fish in order to
give adequate protection to
the salmon, the doctor be
lieves.
Karl Brunstad, member of
the Alaska Fisheries Board,
heard the talks given by Dr.
Thompson. The board recently
held its annual meeting in
Juneau,
The board agreed to a joint
program of fishing law en
forcement between members
of the AFB and the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service.
The FWS regulations for
1952 permit fishing by all
types of gear on a five-day-a
week basis from June 23 to
July 5.
The board took the stand
that few problems of regula
tion and enforcement can be
solved under conditions,
where, it asserted, approxi
mately 80 trap operators are
allowed to take 65 percent of
all salmon taken in Southeast
Alaska.
