FISHERMEN PROTEST BEARS’ FISH APPETITE,
FWS COMPLAIN OF NYLON NETS AT HEARING
Invisible nylon fish nets and j
Alaska’s bears are the two great
est menaces to commercial salm
on fishing in the territory, it was
decided at the annual fisheries
hearing held in Kodiak last week.
Although it was a fisheries meet
ing. conducted by Dick Shuman,
fisheries management supervisor
for the Fish and Wildlife Service,
several Kodiak ranchers attended
tlffe meeting to back up the fish
ermen’s request that something
be done to decrease the Island’s
bear population.
The nylon nets were cause for
complaint by the FWS, rather
than by the fishermen.
At the meeting Mr. Shuman
told fishermen that changes in I
next year’s regulations, as pro- j
posed by the FWS, would include
these points: j
Elimination of the present rule
requiring aerial identification of
boats.
Use of transparent nylon nets
to be declared illegal.
Required use of fish tickets.
Limiting fish taken for per
sonal use, with commercial gear,
to operations in a period 48 hours
before the season opens and a
second period 48 hours after the
season closes.
A representative of Alaska
Packers requested that the FWS
distribute copies of proposed
changes in regulations prior to
hearings, in future years, in order
that they may be studied.
