Today's hearing, in which {ish- ermen made recommendations fo changes in fishing regulations ic the first post season hearing in Southeast Alaska this year. Only 12 representatives of the fishing industry were present. Thompson said this small at- tendance reflects the good season this year. A bad season would have resulted in more complaints about the season’s regulations. Among the made to FWS officials at the hear- ing were . those by Doty Brown, president of the Taku Gillnetters, & union. He asked that giiinet iength be cut from 250 fathoms to 150 fathoms in the Port Snettisham area. He said that Stikine gilinet- ters had crowded the area with long nets this year and local fish- ermen feared the area would be overfished. He also recommended that the area open to gillnetters be exbended] to Sentinel Point; for, he said, gill-{ netters going to sleep as they drift are in danger of being carried by the current into closed areas while catching a nap. Thompson said the hearings give FWS a method of getting local | opinion which makes regulation of‘ fishing simpler for FWS and fish-; ermen. 2 The recommendations will be weighed after hearings have keen made in the other parts of South- east Alaska. Regulations will be based on information obtained at the hearings, along with needs as seen by FWS. Another hearing will be held by FWS in Sitka Wednesday.
