•The Possibilities of the Alaska
Herring Fishery” is the title of an an
noiineetnent by the government.
I brought forth by a report on the spring
herring fishery of Norway This re
port shows that for the past four sea
I sons, ineluding PBS. the* catc h had
an annual average* value of about
$0,700,IKK). About So per cent of the*
yield was salted and most of the* re
mainder was sold locally or exported
as fresh fish, a very small quantity
I being c anned or kippered. The United
States bureau of fisheries says the
importance and value of this fishery
is an indication of what may be* done
by adequate government encourage
ment and by private enterprise and
address in this country, particularly
in Alaska.
The herring resources of Alaska
are probably not inferior to those of
Norway, and, considering the greater
extent of the coast line*, are possibly
, much superior, yet the annual aver
age value of the* catch in that terri
tory for the four years ending I >e
c ember 31, 1917, was but $252,00(1.
Further, the bulletin says the eyes
of Alaska fishermen have been so
focused on the* extraordinary salmon
and rich halibut fisheries that the
possibilities of tin* sea herring have
been largely overlooked. To no small
extent, owing to the ac tion of tin* bu* ,
reau of fisheries in placing their ex
perts in the territory to give assist
ance to fishermen in improving their
methods of curing herring and in call
ing the attention of distributors to tin* i
availability of the supply, the value of
the output in 1917 rose to $587,777,
nearly double that of the preceding
year, and about eight times that ot
1914
The promising feature of this com* j
parison is not the value of the pack j
of 1917. which was hut 8 per cent I
of that of Norway in the same year. |
but the rapid increase in the past lour
years. It lends strength to the hope
that the enterprise of the people of
Alaska will result in giving the her
ring fishery its proper place in the
economy of the territory second only
to the great salmon fisheries, which it
is undoubtedly destined at some time
to rival.
In normal times the imports of her
ring into the United States are heavy.
By reason of war conditions these im
ports are now greatly curtailed and,
i from some sources, are entirely cut
off; and there is presented a wonder
i fill opportunity for \laska to perma
I nentlv acquire a large part of this
trade if an effort is made to meet tin
demand and proper car** be exercised
| to insure high quality in the pack
Kach careless or dishonest packer will
'be a menace to flu* industrial prog
ress of the territory The herring
parked under the bureau's instruction
and supervision last \ear was the
best received in New York, and tin
standard as established should be
i-rupuloush maintained.
