CLOSED SEASON

O'Malley Considering Revis-
ion Of Local Regulations
Gives Reasons.

That a possible change IN the close
! fishing Is being seriously considered
| by the Bureau of Fisheries for South
eastern Alaska was indicated today
by Commissioner Henry O'Malley.
Final decision in the matter will NOT
be made, however, for several weeks.
The practice OF transferring fish
taken from waters In open areas to
canneries located in districts in which
the season has closed has brought
the question out. 1t was said. This
has resulted in intensive fishing and
| if not corrected 1t is feared may lead
to everlasting.
Law Not Ample.
In discussing fishery regulations,
Mr.. OMalley stated it is to be re-
GREETED that the present law does
not give the necessary authority to
permit regulations being formulated
that would prevent the hauling Of
fish caught in an open area into an
area where the season is closed,
making it possible for canneries to
operate.
This condition exists during the
present season in the Ketchikan dis.
trice, namely: Large quantities of
fish have been hauled from the Wran.
gell District and West Coast of
Prince Of Wales Island and canned
in the Ketchikan area where the sea
son closed four days earlier" he said.
This Is also true OF the district north
of 5Sth parallel Fish were caught
in the southern district and hauled
to Port Althorp for canning after
the season closed. Serious consider

ing of regulation that will establish
la longer weekly closed period and
terminate the season on the same
date in all sections of Southeastern
Alaska. 1t is felt that this in
measure would greatly reduce the
transferring OF fish from one area to
the other and prevent the increasing
of gear in the locality where the sea-
son is open a few days longer.
