The Area Two season will terminate on June 8, according to a recent announcement made by the International Fisheries Commission. . Since 1939, the season has became pogre&sivcly shorter allow -ing ,,flshermen opportunity to make fewer trips to the Hecate Strait grounds. This year, three trips will be a good season.

I " t no o j l since the first year of the war, the Area Two season has diminished from 120 days to 39 days by almost two-thirds. Reasons governing this progressive change are three-fold size of the quota, number of boats operating and efficiency of boats and equipment. Since the Area Two quota has ieen relatively stable although this year it was 24,500,000 pounds, a little higher than the 22,500,000 - pound figure which has held for several years the cause must be sought in the other two. If a given amount of fish can be caught in less and less time every year, it would indicate that either more boats are fishing or that those fishing are doing so with greater efficiency. In this case, both reasons bear weight although the former Is the stronger. During the war, constant sub stantial prices encouraged more and more fishermen to build their own boats and Prince Rupert's halibut fleet has increased greatly. The same holds true of the other fishing ports on the coast. Increasing moorage ac ed August 25--205 days. i with fish and get in more trips As the above record shows, than In the days when the fleet i record. BOY "THE STORE FOR DAD AND LAD ihad slower power. High speed engines have largely been responsible for this change. These have been adopted on a wholesale scale during the last few years. Another factor, also, is the increasing number of small vessels taking part in the early part of the seasonable halibut fishery. Fish buyers are placing more camps at convenient spots on the circumference df the grounds, making it possible for trailers, and even gillnetters, to set out halibut gear and deliver their catehes to camps every day or two. These vessels, because of their proximity to a delivery base, operate without ice which is required by larger boats tc keep, the fish in marketable condition. There have been a large number of these tiny vessels operating out of the camps this year. Halibut landing at the port of Prince Rupcjt during the first 30 days of the season from the regular fleet have been 5,304,-000 pounds, which has set the daily average landings at 176,-000 pounds. Some days, of course. commodation at Prince Rupert boats which delivered between still fails to meet the needs of j May 1 and May 30, 150 have de- the growing number of vessels.

The American fleet share of these landings has been small 628.000 pounds. The Seattle fleet tie-up has been largely responsible for the absence of American landings here. co-operative gets most fish So far this season, almost three-fifths of the halibut landed here has been delivered to the Fishermen's Co-operative, a condition that has occasionally been responsible for a scarcity of offers on the exchange.
