The Alaska fisherman., 1925-03-15

NISCIloLScU CHIOuSu Cllc OuCl0C III d succession of cascades dropping di- rectly into the bay. These cascades are so abrupt as to effectually pre- vent the ascent of spawning salmon or other fish to the lake, but it is believed will not stop, or materially interfere with migrating fry. The waters are barren of fish life, but a careful survey has shown that there is an abundance of natural food such as is found in natural spawning lakes and streams. There is every reason to believe that the situation is ideal for the prOpaga- tiOn and rearing of salmon. It is estimated that there are ten mics or spawning area in this water system.
 There are many lakes of this cbaf- acter in the northern section of Southeastern Alaska that will be available for rearing waters if suc- ctTs attends this experiment.
 Failure of the Hatcheries
 The law of 1906 was designed, among other things, to provide for the repletion of the salmon supply by encouraging artificial propaga- tion, and a number of the larger operators in good faith, and at net annual loss to themselves built and operated hatcheries along lines prescribed by government experts under the belief that the supply of fish would be maintained indefinitely through this means. These hatch cries have produced millions of fry for the sockeye salmon to which lave been added other millions as the product of the government hatcheries during the last fourteen years. Yet in spite of this and the protective measures provided in the law and regulations ,the sockeye was found to be getting scarcer in the districts where the hatcheries were located, whereas in places remote from hatchery operations, it held out better.
 One by one in the intervening years the privately owned hatcheries discontinued operations, it being as certained that they were an unwar- ranted bill of expense and the re- slit was nil. One .2rEe private con- cern operating a Hatchery became conv'',cel before clo sing down that their hatchery was menace to the industry in that it not only took salmon, for artificial propagation, away from the natural spawning possibilities where there was a fair chance for ultimate results, but it produced easy food for predatory fishes, causing an abnormal increase iii their numbers and an additional bu1 den upon natural maintenance.
The Alaska fisherman., 1925-03-15

ICdCIIlHS CIl0 Op0u WdCofS dnQ not caring if they passed almost directly f&om the troughs into the maws of tta awaiting enemy. The practice at the government hatcheries vas the same, and the game went mer- rlly on for year, the private operator taking his rebate on the salmon license tax and the government wit ing big reports and accomplishing nothing for the industry. This use les* practice was carried ol with the sockeye, the other varieties upon which no abnormal hatchery process vas inflicted, held their own pretty we'll until the annihilating practice of stream fishing was vigorously pursued.
 Propagation through artificial as- sistance is a success up to the point of producing the fry and it is be- ieved that a much greater result is obtained than through the natural process owing to the protection from loss afforded by the means en- ployed. Unquestionably the naCu'al process produces the more vigorous progeny and before the excessive in roads made upon the supply by com mercial fishing, natural balance was maintained. This balance has now been badly broken through that cause and conditions are growing worse from year to year.
 It has been variously estimated that of eggs produced by the aver age female salmon, in the natural spawning process, only from one-half to one per cent ever reach the stage of mature fish. This is based upon the chain of destruction attending the species from the time the egg is deposited until the adult parents return to the spawning beds after from two to six years sojourn in other waters. The average of 5000 produced by each female salmon was natures provision for the mainte- nance of the species to normal quan- tity and unfortunately there seems no way to increase this unit of pro- duction to such an amount as will take care of the increased demands of the commercial activities of the present and to maintain the natural balance. The best that can be done is to assist nature in every way possible, taking advantage of every proven facility and by carrying on an extensive laboratory and field re- search work for increasing and per fecting methods.
 The Future Outlook
 Upon an examination of the pro- GGction it will be noted that there has been an increase in the output from year to year, except for the slight decline in 1914, reaching the
