CATCHING OF SMALL SABLEFISH THREATENS
 SERIOUS DEPLETION

The following notice has been posted by the Fish ond Wildlifg Service at various places arou 1 the dock and town:
 Notice - Black cod fish
 ing prohibited. The catching
 of small or immature black
 cod for commercial purposes
 in the Stikine District is here
 by prohibited in order to pre-
 vent the further waste of this
 valuable species. Tn as much
 as there is no market for these
 undersized fish, their capture
 and destruetion is no longer
 permitted. This action is talk
 en to effectuate section 8 of
 the Act of Congress of June
 2e. 1906. which prohibits the
 wanton waste of any food
 fish in Alaska
 This was made necessary. Wild life Agent Howard Baltzo explain ed. by the serious and heavy de- pletion in recent years of sable fish. He went on to explain that around town had deveI- Cped quite a nice little business by catching the immature fish and selling the livers to fish buyers at S1.65 per pound. However. the en- terprise 'snowballed until it be- came too big to handle" Some cf the older boys, he said. and a few adults began handling them in a big way. seining them under tue Eurry chute at the cannery and handlining them. The market, Bal tzo said, continued good. but he explained that there is only an ounce or so of these smaller fish which can be used and the carces- ses are of practically no value. He said that lately anywhere from half a ton to a full ton of young sabIefish have been caught daily and thrown overheard after their lfvers have been removed.
 Baltzo pointed out that sable fishing is a very sizeable industry in the Territory and in view of the aboye-mentioned conditions, it was deemed a wise conservation move to prohibit this waste. He also pointed out that these one or two pound fish have passed the period of natural mortality and practically all of them would ba of commercial size and value in d few fore years and would have a greatly increased value in both flesh and liYers.
 Baltzo added that the EVILS disliked interfering with the youngsters fun. but general sen timent seemed to favor the action taken
