Open 6 ajn. to 2 a.m. PHONE 173 SALMON AT TONGA The current Skecna River sal mon investigation has produced some interesting information regarding the fish population of Kltwanga Lake on the north side of the Skeena Rlvgr east of Terrace which is the spawning cround for a nortion of the sock- eyq salmon which make their annual run up the Skecna. The survey was made by mem bers of the 'staff of the Pacific Diological Station at Nanaimo and is part of the continuing study of the salmon fishery of the Skeena drainage area. The six-week's study, as presented In the latest progress report of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, contains the following passages: "Camp was established at the extreme southern end of Kit wanga Lake. From this point around the eastern shore wound a narrow pack trail leading up over the low height of land, the divide between the Skeena drainage area and that of the Naas. This was the "Grease" trail of the Kltwancool Indians. Over it in the olden days the na tives trekked annually to the Naas to catch their supply of the oil-rich oolichan or candle fish. "During the next six weeks observations' were made which would form the basis for classi fying the lake as to its general importance in the whole Skeena River system, in fish food pro duction, in size of salmon spawning areas and runs, and in "coarse" fish population predator and competitor which might affect the young salmon durins their fresh-water existence. The water of the lake was very clear and sampling showed that there was an abundance of microscopic plant and animal life. The animal forms, the main food supply of the young sock-eye slamon, were distincly plentiful. "This combination of favourable physical and chemical con ditions and a good basic food supply had apparently led to a relatively abundant "coarse" fish population. Ten species were ob-1 tained. From the gill net catches, i the most abundant was feeding' largely on small fish and snails. Cutthroat trout were also present in considerable numbers. These are not fished to any extent for sport, largely because of the isolation of the lake. The Dolly Varden char, the third and last of the predators, was fairly rare. Next lo the squawflsh in order of abundance were two species which feed cither off the bottom or close to it, the Rocky mountain whitefish and the chub or peamouth. The long-nosed or northern sucker, the common sucker, and the prickly bull-head, were taken in but few instances. The stickleback and what was apparently the lake shiner, were found in cutthroat trout and squawflsh stomachs. "The population of sockeye salmon was made up of two types, the usual sea-run fish ranging from 15 to 27 inches In length, and a smaller variety ranging from 7' to 9 Inches. Scale markings indicated that these smaller individuals spend their whole life in the lake and are thus the Kokanec or land-lockcd sockeye. "The sca-run sockeye move up the Kltwanga river' from the' Skecna In late July and early August and pass Into the lake where they stay until mature. No observations of the actual spawning were made, but it ap pears that they move back down to the river in late September to deposit their eggs. Spawning in the lake Itself on gravel bars near the mouths of the small tributary streamlets may also occur. The largest tributary to the Jake enters at the north eastern corner draining an ex tensive muskeg flat. It is entirely dissimilar from what Is considered a good salmon spawn ing stream since from the point of entrance into the lake and for a considerable distance up stream, it is murky and slow flowing with little or no gravel In evidence on the bottom. Despite the fact that fairly large numbers of sockeye were observed In schools off its mouth during the month of August not one was seen, moving upstream. The beaches and the streams entering the lake seem singularly devoid of good spawning areas. "Since the lake Is small and the spawning grounds apparent-lyOimlted, it is not surprising that the run of sockeye is correspondingly small.
