on

work
which
is
being
carried
on
by
the
scientific
staff
of
the
Biological
Board
of
Canada
with
a
view
to
conservation
of
the
fishery
resources
were
revealed
by
Dr.
W.
A.
Clemens,
director
of
the
Nanalmo
Biological
Station
and
re-cognized
authority
on
the
subject
of
salmon,
in
speaking
before
the
Gyro
Club
of
Prince
Rupert
at
lun-eheon
yesterday.
As
far
as
the
biological
work
of
the
board
on
the
Pacific
Coast
was
concerned.
Dr.
Clemens
explained,
salmon
was
receiving
the
major
attention,
particularly
the
sockeye
species
in
view
of
its
value
and
the
fact
that
it
was
showing
serious
signs
of
depletion.
The
task
was
to
maintain
a
proper
balance
between
escapement
and
catch.
The
speaker
explained
the
various
meinoas
which
were
being
pursued
to
obtain
information
as
to
mlgraUon
and
habits
of
the
various
species
of
salmon
and
described
some
of
the
results
which
had
already
been
ob
tained.

As

it

south
as

The
movement
of
sockeye
salmon,
as
far
as
had
been
so
tar
learned,
was
more
limited.
Information
thus
far
obtained
indicated
that
the
sockeye
salmon
invariably
n.tnmrf
to
Its

to
spawn
and

It
was
