It was |then necessary to look forward to the gradual disappearance of the fishing fleets using the banks off | British Columbia and Southeast Al- aska that have produced a large share of the world’s halibut. That jevil prospect has gone forever, | whatever smaller troubles the fleet may face now. The change has come about by a rational treat- 'ment of the fishery, based on scien- tific studies of utmost interest 1made under the Convention be- |tween Canada and the United States, the two nations concerned. | Other Marine Treaties | Other treaties regulating marine | fisheries are in. existence, But they, Ifor the most part, have to do with |the policing of the grounds or with rational rights and privileges. One 3% |is an exception, the. treaty preserv- |ing the fur-seal of the Pribilof |Islands. But conservation of the |fur-seal was arrived at in a very simple fashion, elimination of the |sealing fleet and all private com- fmerclal operations, granting com- {plete control to the United States, the owner of the Pribilof Islands where the herds breed. In the halibut convention, the object of |the treaty is far different, because (it is for the purpose of preserving land if possible increasing the yield of the commercial fishery. It is whe first of its kind and it must be made to succeed not only for ‘the sake of the halibut industry but Yor that of the many other |sen fisheries which must some day |be cared for if they are to con- tinue. | Ecenomics The economics of the industry |are left to the fleet and trade. It is possible that it may prove |necessary for the governments to \ooncml such things as curtailment {systems to spread the catch over la longer season, but that is a |problem in itself. It is at present |the only duty of the International Fisheries Commission to see that |as much fish as possible is pro- |duced, interfering as little as pos- |sible with economic processes. |" The commission has realized from |the beginning that this rebuilding ‘ot the banks requires accurate facts, upon which it can act, and that |good results cannot be obtained |otherwise. It has secured these by |extensive and patient investigations land has published them in eleven |reports. It feels that it needs the cooperatmn and understanding of men whom these reports do not readily reach, and it has sought by |public hearings, articles in news- | papers and magazines to give them the information.

In the space at! command for this article I cannot go deeply into the fascin-| ating story written. by the com- | mission scientists, of how the hali- but egg is laid in slowly deep water, how the young fish floats upright like other fishes for four or five months, and how it then comes to swim on its left; moving | iside while one eye migrates to lie | beside its fellow on the upper, right side. At that time the young halibut rises into the surface water and drifts inshore, to settle down on the banks it makes its home until it migrates for spawning. That occurs usually at an age of twelve years. Once this life history was known, it was possible to trace the migra- tion, or rather drift, of the young by means of net hauls. Hauls were | made over much of the North Pa- cific, at different times and places, and studies of the currents show plainly that the changes of young from one area replenishing banks in another are small indeed. Important Cenclusions These are important conclusions, that the stocks in different areas| are distinct, and behave different- ly, that each must produce its own spawn ,and that the amount of fishing determines the annual yield. It is important to note that these conclusions are based on a num- ber of lines of evidence corroborat- ing each other and confirming the observation that the areas have! from the beginning . shown that| they are distinct because their be- | havior was different as fishing de- pleted them. The conclusion that less fishing would give a greater annual yield was so contrary to what had been| generally thought that before re-! lying on it, the commission sought | | reach | fort, gnlmng more by growth than Lhey’ Pwerve losing ‘by death from natural | causes; that if they were left long- er on the banks the accumulated | |stock on the banks was larger at what the | fisherman lost in less fishing was | gained in a larger catch per day or per set of a piece of gear; and ! that the longer time on the banks not only allowed for more growth but that the fish were able to! spawning size in greater | numbers. Greater growth and a greater production of eggs were to be had without decreasing the total annual poundage used by the fleet It is, however, difficult to rom- press within a few lines what u has taken years of careful work to discover. Suffice it to say that the details are on record, and that put into practice by the commis- sion the conclusions reached have proved correct. The banks are be- ing restocked without decreasing the annual catch, a most surpris- LAST TIMES 'l‘ONlGHT at the Show Place of Juneau The Never-To-Be-Forgot All Film Thrilling Naturol y u.wm..m Sylvia SIJII& l FredM«My | s |ing accomplishment in view of the| first belief that a radical restric-! tion in this catch would be neces- sary for a time, if not perma-; nently. Economic Problem The commission, under its pow- ers, leaves with the fleet and trade the disposal of an annual catch which is substantially greater al- ready than it wouid have been had the decline gone unchecked; a catch which has a higher per- centage of first class fish and| which can be taken with less ef-! so that trips are no longer| {made at a loss. And it (‘xpecLsI‘ that, as the amount of spawn! increases, the young produced will Justify a greater annual catch, un-f til a substantial fraction of the former great yield of the depleted banks is restored.
