FIGffiT CLOSURE:Contlnued,
escapement. Tagging indicates the fish
more upstream slower at the opening of the
season#
Two proposals from residents were read®
The first suggested the midweek closure be
turned back to one period (6 am Fed® to
6 am Fri.) with no change in the total
fishing hoursj and, the other was to re
discribe Naknek and Kvichak area s®
Mr# Shuman suggested possible use of a
double net (two nets, the first of normal
mesh, the second smaller or larger mesh)
for use by setnetters# This, he said, would
allow better assortment of fish caught as
well as better assortment of escapement
which is biologically sound#
FROM TEE FLOOR:
Gene "killian: Wanted prediction on Nush
agak Kings for 1953 but was told that no
survey had been made on them# He later sug
gested to make one tide only open for per
sonal use fishermen# (Well received*)
Jim Downey: Submitted proposals of BSFU,
a s published elsewhere in this issue#
Fr. Endal: Established the fact FWS was
NOT interested in having Congress change
the laws now existing. (Survey of talk
is published elsewhere in this issue.)
Earl Tilden: Felt Shuman entirely dis- ;
oredited the Dolly threat to salmon and
yet every spawning ground was swarming
ffith Dollys eating fish eggs. He said
fchat ’’the boluga should be out down#
not us’*#
Bob Kallenberfe: Established that predi
tor control was essential to maintain our
fish resource, iifter coiLvincing the FJfcl
officials or his thorough knowledge of t.;o
situation ana accepting their offer to sub
mit a written proposal of\ his linaa,. Bob
concluded by saying ?j«** Bos down
and open Nushagafcl* \
Franklin Smitht Confirmed belief that
conservation of ^ish could Vbe answered by
control of Dollys and stick!©-backs, sea
gulls and bolugaB* Showed th\at there was
more abuse of conservation b4 the natives
who fish after the commercial' season is
over (catching inferior fish) ‘than if
allowed to fish during the time* when fish
are prime* He also spoke of possibility of
a local reduction plant to utilize fi6h
refuse for fertilizer—which, in. turn,-*
could be used by the JWS agencies in their
fertilization projects* \
Carl Nunnj Said personal fishing pro
hibition was contrary to constitut ional
lav/ and reed his proof*
Harvey Samuelsont asked why Tog! ak River
was closed to fishermen* Was told that
