The edible part of the fish is the foot or muscle with which it holds itself to the rocks with much tenacity. While the British Columbia catch of abalone is can ned for sale in the Orient, the fish may also be fried, or if flaked, It may be used in several dishes. It is used in these ways considerably in the United States. Fishing for aba lone around Jedway is usually done from small gas boats which carry irews of four or five men. Each boat is equipped with an air pump which mpplies air to the diver. The diver matches the abalone on the ocean xttom and places them in buckets which are pulled up by the men on the boat. Perhaps few are aware of the fact but the octopus is among the fishes taken in the commercial fishery in he Pacific Coast waters of the Do minion. There is a wonderful variety indeed, in Canada's fisheries resources. In 1926, to cite some recent figures, British Columbia fishermen landed over 55,000 pounds of the strange looking, eight armed octo pus and in 1939 more than 2&0Q0 pounds. The fish are eaten chiefly ay Orientals in the province and jrtng between five and ten cents a pound on the market. No fishing for octopl alone is carried on bat the fish are the incidental product of sther fishing operations. For the nost part they are taken in the lets of small draggers. Regrettable Tragedy The apparent fatality that befel Pete La port Jr. and Henry Rudland when they were blown out to sea from Lucy Island in a sudden gale last Friday afternoon is a matter for much regret along the locJil waterfront. Laporte was a well known and popular youth while Rudland. although residing in Met-lakatla, was also very well known in town. The esteem in which the two were held was evidenced by the number of fishermen who volunteered to go out in the donated boat jf the Canaldan Fish it Cold Stor age Co. this week to conduct a search. Laporte and Rudland were engaged in fishing codfish on a codfish bank which lies alongside Lucy Island. They were fishing for the Bacon Fisheries and had been doing quite well, It is said. In the current issue of the Pacific Fisherman appears an article on "The Preservation of Fresh Fish at Sea," by Robert H. Bedford, bacteriologist of the staff of the Prince Rupert Fisheries Experimental Sta tion. The article give details of simple means to retard deterioration of fish prior to landing the catch by disinfecting boats and gear and partial sieniisauon or ine nan In brine. Some time ago the pro- were referred to in these columns with considerable detalL Ak Canada's Pacific Coast Indians to name the foods obtainable from the waters of the Dominion and they will probably put seaweed in the list. In earlier years seaweed was "money" among British Columbia Indian in the sense that It was used, to a limited extent, a a medium of barter between northern interior tribes and other tribes living along the coast. This barter ha now practically disappeared but if seaweed is no longer money it remains In use as an article of Indian food. For food purposes, especially among the Indians xf the northern coast of the province the seaweed main In a satisfactory condition for a considerable length of time. Part of it value from the dietry standpoint is doubtless due to its i research has shown to be valuable as a preventative of such diseases as goitre. Incidentally, it may be noted that sea fish also contain a considerable percentage of Iodine and this Is one of the reasons why THE DAILY NEWS WATERFRONT WHIFFS Abalone Fisheries of Queen Charlotte Islands Fatality Last Week Regretted Schooner Sumnejr, Sold In Ketchikan The only spot in Canada where diving suits form a necessary part of fishermen's equipment is at Jedway on the Queen Charlotte Islands where Canada's only abalone fisheries are located. Having started in a small way a few years ago, this commercial iisnery nas oeen quietly dui gradually extending until last year 578 barrels -of this shellfish were gathered and canned on the spot The northern abalone, which is considerably smaller than the Cali-f ornian, is used exclusively for food. The shell, which is so Important In the button Industry, does not grow sufficient mother-of-1 doctors and dietitians recommend pearl lining in northern waters to frequent Inclusion of fish foods lnj be used for buttons. The abalone is ! the household menu. As a matter of a shellfish having only one shell j fact, of course, certain seaweeds are and sometimes reaches a size of ten I eaten by other people besides In-inches and a weight of upwards of ! dians. For instance, numbers of people In Canada and elsewhere like dried dulse, a variety of seaweed, in 1929 Canadian producers marketed over 100,000 pounds of this marine product and received for it a little more than $10,800. On Canada's Atlantic Coast some use has been made of seaweed, in combination with fish offal, in producing fish meal, which is a valuable stock food1. So far there has been no commercial utilization of seaweeds on the Pacific Coast of the Dominion. Miles of Gillnets Some statistician of the Canadian Department of Fisheries has in his spare time figured out that, if all the gillnets used in the fisheries of British Columbia were laid out end-to-end, they would extend for a distance of 540 miles or aoout m far as from Prince Rupert to Se attle. The schooner Retgertand, Capt. Louis Holm, was the fatet vessel of the American halibut flees to reach Seattle after the conclusion of the 1930 season, pitting in there November 26. The vessel experienced very severe weather and head wind most of the way down from the Oulf of Alaska. Capt. Paul Armour, kyal manager of the Pacific Salvage Co.. returned to port this week with the power tug Red Baf from Ketchikan whence the well known halibut schooner Sumner was towed and sold. Capt. Armour spent about a week at Ketchikan and finally disposed of the big vessel to Fr-nk Lloyd who will use her as a tender for his fish traps. Seventy five feet j long and equipped with a M h.p. Atlas-Imperial gas engine, the Sumner was built nearly twenty years ago by the Canadian Fish it Cold Storage Co. whe used the vessel for many years in halibut fishing on the company lay. Ths last owner of the Sumner was a Chicago man with whom Capt Mingo Soriano, who operated the vessel In halibut fishing, was identified. For the past year, the vessel had been tied up at the wharf of the Canadian Fish it Cold Storage Co. The power tog; Red Boy left Thursday lor GrenvUle Channel to pick up and bring here the big ten der Kapreano of the B. O. Packets which had broken down four miles north of Camp Point. As this will be the final appearance of the Waterfront Whiffs be fore the festive season, the editor of this section wishes to take the op portunity of extending to all pat ient readers the best withes for a very Merry Christmas. It Is our hope that every one may celebrate wisely and well en Thursday of next week.
