III rtVIV , OFSOCKEYE Chief Supervisor of Fisheries Makes Public Statement Re- , garding: Runs Yielding the largest pack for a good many years, the run of salmon In British Columbian waters has more than held its own for the current season to date, according to Major J. A. Motherwell, chief su- pervlsor of fisheries. The pack of the sockeye, which is the most valuable variety, amounts to 308,000 cases, the largest since the brood year, 1925; which Is, Major MotherweU states, the proper comparison. The total average catch of sockeye for the complete season during the past 10 years is 304,000 coses. TnV fofef :rtasalready been exceeded by 4,000 cases and fish Ing will continue for a consider able period. Sockeye are still run ning heavily in the northern areas,- although the Fraser River hag not yet come into the picture. Four years ago, which is the brood year of Fraser River sockeye, the total pack in that district was 83,000 cases, but these arnvca quite uie in the season. The run of pink salmon Is at the present time unusually heavy in practically all the areas frequented by this variety. The run to Massctt Inlet has not yet arrived, but is daily expected. This area contributes every second year a very considerable portion of the highest quality pack of pinks. The pack of salmon to date is particularly gratifying, says Major Motherwell, owing to the fact that there has been enforced an unusual length of closed seasons for the purpose of conservation. The closed time this year is much greater in aggregate than in the brood year of 1925. This seasons splendid supplies of salmon would appear to demonstrate the efficacy of conser vation measures employed by the Dominion Department of Fisheries In recent years, and should go a long way towards offsetting the unjustifiable cry of depletion, Major Motherwell declares. Pilchard Fishing Tardy appearance of the schools of Dllchards which annually visit grounds off the west coast of Van couver Island has resulted In a late start for the pilchard fishing. Dur ing the past few days, however, catches have been excellent, al though fishermen have been obliged to fish from 20 to 40 miles off shore, according to the Dominion Department of Fisheries. The condition of the fish is be coming better as the season goes on, and although the catch to date Is considerably behind that of re cent years there is still time for a - . ... satisfactory pack, me department states.
