S. Fish |and Wildlife Service. | Richard F. Shuman, fisheries management biologist, reported that a total of 9,059 kings were taken. | Over the past five years average take was 5,294 fish, giving the 1951 season an increase of 71.1 per cent. Shuman pointed out that this was exceptionally good especially in | view of the fact that there was | more gear in the water. The num- | ber o1 boats fishing per day brought | an increase in fishing gear to 29.2 per cent. The average number of boats this year was 34.1 as compar- ed with a mean of 264 per day over the past five years. “Despite it being quite evident | that the 1951 run of kings on the average for the five years is shown,” | Shuman said, “by the total catch and particularly by the fact that the average catch per boat per day jumped from 9.4 to 12.1 in the sea- | son just passed which is an in- | crease of fish per boat day of 28.7 | per cent.” ! .Asked what the indications were | for next season, Shuman said that | his guess would be to look for a | poor run. He emphasized this was | purely a guess but was based on | uigures of past years. . JFish caught this year, he said, were from 1946, which was a good | brood year. The brood year of 1947 was not good so therefore the re- turn in 1952 could be expected to be ‘;ub-nnrmnl. | Price paid this year was thirty- | one and one half cents per pound 1 ip the round.
