amoynt of fishing for king crabs in the
Bering Sea* we will not have crabs in
commercial quantities two years from
nowl"
Shields 6ays his boat" and the three
fishing vessels Lowell Wakefield of
Bellingham* Was** sendto the Bering SEA
"amounts to about all the crab fishing
that area can stand*
The Japanese have a crab fishing oper
ation in the Bering Sea estimated at four
times the size of the 1108**8 operations#
Shields said that during recent crab ,
fishing the informal agreement between
Wakefield and the Japanese to keep lo
miles apart "somehow fell apart"* and
whenever American boats were getting good
catches "it wasn*t long before the Japan
ese were fishing in the same area"*
Shields stressed that he has "no hard
feelings about the Japanese" and is'
mainly concerned over too much fishing*
He reminded the authorities that it takes
12 to 15 yeprs for p. king era b to deve
lop to commercial size and the king crab
4s unable to produce until it is about
12 y§ars old.
