PAGESIX ~— ~ REGULATIONS ON HALIBUT FISHING 1946 The International Fisheries Com- mission has announced that the regulations which it adopted for the Pacific halibut fishery in 1946 have been approved by the Gover- ner General of Canada and the President of the United States and now effective. These regul tions apply to the catching anc landing of halibut in and fr the waters off the coasts of United States, Canada, and Al The Commission was blished by treaty between United States and Canada wha could be done to rebuild the of halibut on the banks North Pacific. These stocks béen so seriously depleted by restricted fishing that it had come hardly worthwhile for halibut fishermen to go out more. Since the Commissior given authol regulate fishery, the stocks on these north- west banks have been developed until they now afford the fine halibut fishing in the world and provide greatly increased annual cdtches. The work of the Commis- sion is an outstanding demonstra- tion of what can be accomplished by practical international cooper- ation. the to see the had un- of the any was the areas 1B is closed to fishi s in the past, at t Area 2, but Area Areas 3 and 4 or halibut in Area losure of Areas 1B requir have their 1ing licenses validated at t within Area 1A prior to each guided from year to 3 othet ent iny bu same closed ige a por most respect Wi et i Permit Provisions wihich Area 2 lies Harbo !

The Area 2 season has become so short as a result of increased fishing that the closure of the grounds off southern Ore- gon and northern California at the same time as Area 2 was making it possible to exploit the supply of halibut there at its season of great- est availability.

Herd Reduced Nunivak Island has approximate- iv 28,000 to 30,000 reindeer which have been permitted to increase witlicut reduction by predators un- til now. The Alaska Native Service 125 been much concerned regard- the reduction of the Nunivak cland reindeer herd to an esti iated range c ng capacity of 10,000 deer. The difficult trans- orta N problem: ve held up working out a feasible plan. How- ever, last year a reindeer butcher- ing and reduction plant was com- pleted and 306,000 pounds of fro- zen reindeer meat was processed and shipped from thé island, 90 tons of which was fu he Army, the balance being utilized at he Eklutna Vocational School, Skagway Sanatorium, Juneau Hos- pital and Wrangell Institute. Deer totaling 14,379 were handled in the Nunivak operations last year. A total of 4,964 deer were butchered, approximately one half of which were fawns. The fawn skins were shipped to the Nome Skin Sewers Association for the manufacture of Eskimo type clothing, some of which will be furnished to Ndavy. The adult skins were ship- sed outside for tanning to be re- urned to the Arts and Crafts Of- ice in Juneau for distribution and use by Southeastern Natives . for making moccasins. Butchering Plant Prior to the operation of the Nunivak butchering plant last sum- mer from 2,000 to 5,000 fawns were butchered each year, the skins of which were utilized primarily for Eskimo type clothing furnished to the Army and Navy during the war. Plans are now being made ior larger operations at the butch- cring plant this year to provide meat to assist in relieving the pre- sent food shortage as well as to further reduce the herd to the range carrying capacity of the is- land. The large number of rein- deer on Nunivak Island which here- tofore have not been molested by es will make it easy for the s to seriously deplete this herd v short time. Due to the atic conditions with heavy fogs and winds during the summer menths it will be practically im- possible to expect to do much wolf hunting successfully. | Reward Suggested | John P. Snow, the Reindeer Unit | Manager at Bethel, who has been in charge of the operations at Nunivak Island suggests that a re- ward of $1,000 be made to interest . a good competent plane operator to exterminate any wolves which ,may have migrated to Nunivak Is- i.and. However, the Alaska Native | | wervice is without power to offer! such a reward. Reindeer in Alaska have been reduced frem over 200,000 to ap- rcximately 60,000 in the last few 2rs and approximately two- s of the remaining reindeer lucated on Nunivak Island, St.| #rence Island, Umnak Island, Atka Island and Kodiak Island. Due to military activities in Alaska he Alaska Native Service is par- Lieularly concerned regarding the ccssibility of dogs, which may have been abanconed on the islands, be- coming wild and depleting the re- maining reindeér. However, the |Army and Navy have assured the “ANS they would kill all stray dogs jbefore vacating their installations. | Reports received from Unalaska Is- i]d“d state that wild dogs from the Army camps are now killing off the |foxes.
