FISHING REGULATIONS
COPPER RIVER FLATS
BEEN PROMULGATED
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—The De
partment of Commerce today pub
lished new regulations govering the
salmon fishing industry in Alaska.
The regulations are the result of a
visit to the northern territory last
summer “by Commissioner of Fish
eries Henry O’Malley and recom
mendations made by him to the Al
aska advisory board on fisheries ap
pointed by Secretary Hoover and
headed by Governor Scott C. Bone.
Mr. O’Malley declared that the new
regulations will govern the fishing
in the territory for the year 1925.
He stated that unless urgent neces
sity intervened there would be no
changes or modifications until the
end of next season. The twelve re
stricted areas in which salmon fish
ing was forbidden in western Alas
ka during 1924 are continued. To
these have been added fifty-five areas
of greater or less size in Southeast
ern Alaska.
Fishing with stake nets on the
delta of the Copper River has been
absolutely prohibited. In the Prince
William Sound, Cross Sound and Icy
Bay, districts, fishing traps are re
quired to be a mile and one half
apart.
A closed season of from twentyfour
to thirty days has been prescribed
for Southeastern Alaska. The Ya
kutat area will be closed between
July 20 and August 5. While the
regulations also touch the herring
clam, shrimp and crab fishing, they
only do so in a minor way.
