7rout Destroy Spawn
Claims Studdert
Wm. Studdert, representative of the
U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, in charge
of the industry for this district, re
turned to Anchorage Saturday last,
I says the Anchorage Times.
Mr. Studdert spent the past ten
days investigating the salmon streams
in the lower inlet. He reports the
streams are overpopulated with Dolly
Vardin trout which are very destruc
tive to salmon production.
In one stream, Kalagin creek, on
Kalagin island, he and associates cap
tured over 1500 trout in less than four
; hours by means of a small beach net.
While on the trip Mr. Studdert made
various experiments and observations
for the promotion of the fish industry.
He states that he has recommended
i the additional force of at least thirty
men to be employed to destroy the
trout and also clear obstructions from
the salmon streams for the general
betterment of spawning grounds. The
money is not available at the present,
I he states, but will undoubtedly be a
part of the 1925 program for this dis
trict .
i Weather conditions in the lower in
let are still unfavorable and the op
erators have necessarily been delayed
in their operations. A few red salmon
have started to run and the operators
can only hope for a partial pack th/s
1 season, on account of the delay and
also the limit imcosed moon the nacks.
