Saturday, June 16, 1945 ' 1 1 t2 Waterfront Whiffs More Than 1,000,000 Pounds of Halibut Landed Here Each Week Since Season Opened Season Closed at Midnight Last Night After Week of Storms On Coast F More than a million pounds of halibut a week were landed at Prince Rupert during the six-week Area Two season which closed at midnight last night, making the season one of the busiest experienced here in years. While a few of the larger boats will continue to fish halibut from more distant Area Three, the bulk of the Prince Rupert fleet will scatter to an assortment of marine tasks, some dog-fishing, black cod fishing, trolling, and a few packing. All will continue busy during the good summer weather. Total landings at this port for the six-week period were 6,790,500 pounds. Only' during two weeks of that period were there arrivals of less than a million pounds. Landings from May 25 to June 1 were 896,500 pounds, and this week's landings were 494,000, the lightest by far of any week of the season. Halibut landings this week came from 29 boats, the smallest number to arrive here in a similar period since the season started. Canadian arrivals totalled 434,000 pounds from 28 boats while one American boat, the Pacific Pride, brought in 60,000. Poiilsen's Cafe and Dining Room Is the Talk of the Town WHY? Because ... " It's the nicest-looking place in town. It's open for banquets, weddings and parties. Meetings may be arranged. "As good as the best, Better than the rest." A large school of halibut which waa in Hecate Straits at the beginning of the season was responsible for a feverish scramble in which fishing boats scuttled in and out of Prince Rupert to unload and1 return in the shortest possible time. Because of this, the more distant ports received far less halibut than in other years, their crews not wanting to take the time to make long runs to port. On three days during the early part of the season, landings here were well over 400,000 pounds a day and, on the peak day, arrivals totalled 524,000 pounds. This heavy flow of hali but was responsible for the In- ternatlonal Commission announ cing on May 31 that the season for Area Two would end on June 12. However, the ideal weather which favored the coast during May, did not hold in the early part of June and the fish which had been so plentiful at that time also began to run short. For this reason, the Commission announced on June 8 that the season would be extended three days to June 15, allowing three extra days to fill the 24,000,000 pound quota.

The Commission explained that, in spite of bad weather, landings at all coast ports brought the total up to the quota. The storm which swept the coast last week-end was one of the most violent June outbreaks in years caused the loss of several vessels.
