Alaska Sarveys Progress It is stated that hydrographic surveys in Alaska are progressing at a moderate but satisfactory rate with the three vessels working in that area. The party of the ship Surveyor continued surveys along the coast of Kodiak Island. Work was ex- tended during the 1330 season from {Cape Tkolik southward through | Sitkinak Strait and included a survey of Olga Bay. Combined with the previous season’s work, this completed the survey of Alitak Bay and tributaries. During the present season, surveys are being extended eastward along the south coast of the island toward Sitka- lidak Strait. These will include the western approaches of that strait as well as the eastern ap- prcaches to Sitkinak Strait. The results of last season’s work will be shown on chart No. 8537, now under construction. WestwarG Coast The Discoverer party continued surveys along the south ccast of Kenai Peninsula, westward from Aialik Bay. These were extended off-shore to the 100-fathom curve and as far west as Port Dick. They included a detailed survey of that {bay, as well as of Nuka Island Pass. The results of the work are now being applied to chart No. 8530, which area has now been en- tirely surveyed. During the pres- put of fish and eggs from Govern-! ment stations amounted to 7,122~ | 000,000 including marine anadro- mous, and fresh water species of commercial importance, as well as the highly prized gamefishes. The Bureau supplied 119 cooperative nurseries with over 4,00,000 young fish, increased its own output of fingerling fish by 28 per cent, and salvaged more than 182,500,000 fish in the Mississippi River section. Dependence on the Bureau for fish stocking, the report points out, was greatly increased as a result of the ruinous draught of last year in which many streams competely dried up. Biologicai Research The Bureau’s program of biologi- cal research included studies of 30 important food and game fishes, expansion of its program of re- search in the fields of experimental fish culture and oyster farming. It also included direct aids to the fish- ermen in forecasting the abundance of certain species, in affecting means for lessening the destruction of immature and undersized fish, and in determining what restric- tions were needed to conserve the supply. In the field of animal nutrition the bureau, in cooperation with other agencies, has been enabled to make noteworthy and timely contributions which have demon- strated the richness of domestic fish oils in essential vitamins, thus extending their use in animal feed- ing.

Behm Canal Work The field party aboard the Ex- | plorer continued the work in Behm |Canal, started during the latter part of the fiscal year 1930. More than half of the waterway has| been surveyed in detail, and it is expected that the remainder will be completed during the present season. The results of these sur- veys will be shown on two new oils and feeds markets and has re- sulted both to the advantage of the fish-reduction industry in increas- ing the demand for domestic prod- ucts and to agriculture in making these products rich in certain fac- tors available at lower cost. Laws Are Enforced Alaska fishery laws and regula- tions for the conservation of its fisheries have been executed vigor- ously in an effort to assure the maintenance of this great resource, the report declares.
