2m INCREASE IN SALMON
Spawning aids in Canada Artificial spawning areas had been developed in Canada to preserve salmon and to leave sufficient fish for sports fishermen, the Canadian High Commissioner (Mr J. Dougan), a keen fisherman, said yesterday, speaking at a meeting of the New Zealand Salmon Anglers’ Association. Mr Dougan said the; development of spawning areas had been difficult because the five species of Pacific coast salmon—chum, 1 sockeye, coho, pink, and king i—all needed a different { habitat. But the artificial spawning; areas had increased the [stock of wild fish from less than 300,000 to between 2m ana 3m. There were moves towards restricting salmon fishing to sports fishermen. But it would probably cost the fishermen more to catch their fish than their commercial value, he said.
