20 Fish Trap Sites To Be Closed
In Southeast Alaska, According To
New Fisheries Bureau Regulations

WASHINGTON, D. c. Jan. II -
Secretary Ickes of the interior de
partment has announced regulations
Tor the 1870 fishing season In Al
aska to include.
1. A 60-hour weekly closed period
on Prince William sound and all
Southeastern Alaska areas except
Yakutat and stikine. This means an
additional weekly closure of u
hours on Prince William sound, "a
hours additional IN the Ketchikan
and other Southeastern Alaska dis
tricts
3 Commercial fishing for herring
in Southeastern Alaska. except gill
net fishing for herring for bait, is
prohibited in 1910.
3. Commercial salmon fishing in
Bristol bay is cut to about so per
cent of normal thus meaning
heavy loss to west coast companies
which could expect to put up only
half of normal packs if all oper-
ated.
4. Preference is given in the new
regulations to Alaskan residents in
Bristol bay. The number of boats to
be operated legally is cut TO $50 for
the year. and the number of fisher
men to 1856. This theoretically
leaves only about $50 places for
fishermen from the continental
United States If enforced, these re-
gulations will mean a victory for
Third division Alaskans who have
been fighting to get a greater per
centage of Alaskans on the job in
Bristol bay.
3. Twenty fish trap sites will be
closed. mostly in Southeastern Al
aska but some in central and ives
tern areas The traps to be closed
We're not Immediately identified.
6. The herring catch will be lin
tied to 100000 barrels in the Kodiak
area. to $4,000 on Prince William
sound.
Z. Unexplored fishing waters will
not be restricted.
The Iekes statement said he re-
gulations for 1910 are based on re-
concentrations of the bureau of
fisheries after hearings in Seattle
and Alaskan cities, plus inyestiga-
tions by law enforcement and ad-
ministratiye agencies.
IT is collective judgment that
these regulations will adequately
protect and conserve the fishery re-
sources of Alaska in 1940," Ickes
said, "unless there are extraordin-
airy developments which cannot be
foretold. The regulations have been
drawn so modification will be IN
necessary under normal conditions"
