In explanation of the International Fisheries Commission announcement that Areas I and 2 would be closed to all halibut fish- j lng at midnight of July 13, sixteen days earlier than last year, It Is ex-, plained that the earlier attainment of the Area 2 quota (22,700,000. pounds) and the consequent earlier closure of Areas 1 and 2 In 1940. have been caused by an Increase in ' the rate of landing due to several factors. Twenty-five to thirty new vessels have been added to the ' Area 2 fleet this year. A number of vessels that In previous years left J the halibut fishery In June ha ire elected to continue halibut fishing to the end of the Area 2 season because of higher halibut prices and uncertainty regarding the profitableness of the salmon fishery to which they normally turn. A change In the regulations, restricting fishing to a single area on any one trip, has brought about the correct reporting of considerable quantities of Area 2 catches previously reported as from other areas. In addition to the above, the rate of landings in Area 2 has been accelerated by the Increased catch per coastwise liners Prince Rupert and Prince George are to be acquired hv the Canadian Pacific, and nlaredi there will be a considerable lm- i t,0 vanpniivpr.viitarin.R9.t.ii. provement in the run of sockeye. service.
