HERRING FISHING IN
SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA
COMPARED TO HERRING
FISHING IN NORWAY

Herring fishing in Southeastern
Alaska cannot be compared to her
ring fishing in Norway, for the rea-
son that Norway has the whole
North Sea and many miles along the
Atlantic Coast line and the Arctic
ocean to draw from, while in South
eastern Alaska the waters the her
ring come into, where they may be
taken for bait and food purposes. are
comparatively very small in proper
ton.
Some years ago whaling was being
followed along the Norway Coast on
a large scale. The people OF Nor
way tried to have the whaling sta
tions closed claiming that with the
whales killed off, the herring would
not be chased inshore, where the
fishermen could more easily catch
them, and not getting the legislation
passed against the whaling stations,
the fishermen and their sympath1zers
destroyed luG w h"Aihf7
main force.
The whales off our Southeastern
Coast are very few at present. Whal-
ing operations cleaned them out
some few years ago, and with no
whales. the enemies of herring, to
chase the herring into the smaller
inclosed and shallow waters. wnere
the whales could not go, is another
reason why the few herring whlch
do come inside the three mile limit
should be protected more than ever
for halt fishing, which is used TO
catch food fish, and for food itself.
Experienced whalers will tell you
that where whales were plentiful
there were always large quantities
of smaller fish close inshore, where
thew were driven by whales.
From Central Norway Northwaru
reduction plants have been operat-
ing for some years, and owing to the
quantity of herring they mainly
have been taking, herring have be-
come more scarce in that section dur
ing the last few years, in fact, in or
der to keep their northern plants

Communication

Editor Sentinel:
l wish to express my appreciation
for all the free advertising bestowed
upon me by my lady friend in your
last issue. by actual count my name
received personal mention thirteen
times. evidently she believes in the
proverbial bakers dozen or the un-
lucky thirteen. I am sure that
should feel highly honored and ap-
preciative to receive such signal
recognition.
I was pleased to note that she ad-
mits that there was an Intellectual
element among the majority party
in the election in question.
Nevertheless l qualify my eriti-
cisms and objections in my original
communication, and contend that my
main criticisms remain unchallenged
or satisfactorily answered.
The lady makes the statement that
l was displeased with the result of
the February meeting. mistaken
again 1 was simply amused, as l an
ticipated the result, in noting the
line up. it reminded me of the old
time political conventions all details
framed up beforehand.

supplied with herring, the reduction
plants have been shipping the large
spawn herring from the southern
sections Of Norway to their northern
plants.
The people Of Norway are against
the operation Of reduction plants.
and resolutions are being passed at
present against them. This past
summer a law was passed which for
bid the taking of small fat herring
for other purposes than fer bait and
packing for food.
1t is recommended now. and viii
probably be made a law this coming
summer, that purse seines cannot be
used in any bay or ford, no matter
how large il may be. if the entrance
to such bay or ford is not over three
nautical miles in width.
A few years ago the extensive cod
fisheries IN the northern part of Nor
way, could easily get all the herring
bait they needed, close at hand, but
during recent years, owing to the
rapid depletion of the herring, they
are shipping frozen bait in quanti-
ties, from the southern section, and
even considering the thousands OF
pounds of bait that is shipped in. the
fishing boats are often without suffi-
eient bait
In the last couple years several re
duction plants have been started in
the southern section of Norway, and
this was done owing to the depletion
Of herring in the northern section.
Herring fishing is carried on prae-
tieally all along the Norway coast.
starting in January of each year.
from about the center of their coast
line, and extending southwark, and
continuing the fishing for large
spawn herring in that section. until
some time IN April. Then in June
they begin fishing practically the en-
tire Norway eoastline. This lasts
until the last of the year.
Herring seine boats in Norway are
not allowed to take more herring
in their nets than their boats will
handle, which would cause destruc-
ton to the herring, and there is a
heavy fine imposed for such offences.
1t is a noteworthy fact that at
least rs per cent of the large spawn
herring are caught miles offshOre
with seines and drift nets.
The great majority of sentiment
in Norway, by those who have the
welfare of the country and the con
seryation of its fish supply at heart,
are against the operations of the re
duction plants on all small fat her
ring.
In both Southeastern Alaska and
Norway. experience has proved that
if any refuse or waste from reduc-
ton or packing plants, is allowed to
get into adjacent waters, and there
by pollute them, no herring or sal
mon will come into such polluted
sections.
These conditions in Norway's vast
herring fisheries, which operate
practically the year round. compared
to Southeastern Alaska's small in
side fishing area, and the few months
during which herring come into
these small inside waters, show
plainly how imperative it is that
