There is also included a series of graphs showing the production of various principal fishes, by years, in the period from 1912 to 1929, inclusive. REVIEW OF THE FISHERIES OF 1929 During the calendar year 1929 there were larger catches of fish both on the Atlantic coast and in the Inland Fisheries but Pacific coast landings decreased by more than 80,000,000 pounds and as much of this decrease was in the salmon fishery the net result of the year's fisheries operations in the Dominion as a whole was that the marketed value of the production was about 81,500,000 less than in 1928, or $53,518,521 as compared with $55,050,973. 5 6 MARINE AND FISHERIES Making comparison with 1927, however, there was an increase in 1929 of almost $4,395,000 in marketed value, and it is also to be noted that the total for the year was more than $2,900,000 above the average annual value in the preceding five-year period, 1924-1928. While the net decrease in total catch for the year was more than 63,000,000 pounds as compared with the catch for 1928, the average price per hundredweight received by the fishermen for their fish as landed was slightly better in 1929=than in the preceding year, taking the fisheries as a whole and the landed value figures showed a decrease of only $48,960, or $33,699,543,' as compared with $33,748,503. The sea fisheries production for the year amounted in marketed value to $44,928,742, as against $46,669,222 in 1928, but in the Inland Fisheries produc- tion, which totalled $8,589,779, there was an increase of $208,028. In New Brunswick, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and Alberta the marketed values showed gains but in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, and the Yukon Territory there were decreases. Notwithstanding the decrease in its production, British Columbia continued well in the lead among the provinces in point of marketed value. Forty-five per cent of the production value for the Dominion for the year is to be credited to British Columbia, thirty-five per cent to the Maritime Provinces, eight per cent to the Prairie Provinces and the Yukon Territory combined, seven per cent to Ontario, and five per cent to Quebec. On the Atlantic coast the total catch for the year was 536,193,900 pounds as compared with only 521,571,400 pounds in 1928. In Quebec alone among the four provinces of the coast was there a decrease in landings. In the Inland Fish- eries the landings were 87,772,600 pounds, or about 2,000,000 pounds more than in 1928. On the other hand, the Pacific coast catch was .only 526,127,400 pounds, as against 606,610,000 pounds in the preceding year. Capital Investment.—The figures as to the amount of capital in use in the fishing industry in 1929 bear out the statement which was made in last year's report that " while there was some increase in the capital investment in the industry in 1928, the indications are that there will be a further increase in the ensuing years." During 1929 the total investment increased by more than $4,000,000 and reached the sum of $62,336,057. The greater part of the increase, or $2,710,914, was in the capital invested in vessels and boats and gear used in the primary operations of catching and landing fish, and the total amount so invested reached $33,842,002. The investment in fish canning and curing estab- lishments was increased by $1,552,772, notwithstanding that there was some decrease in the number of lobster and salmon canneries and in the number of reduction plants. The growth in capital investment in the industry in ncent years has been very striking. In 1910 the investment was slightly more than $19,000,000. By 1914 it had become nearly $25,000,000. During the war years, of course, there was some temporary employment of capital which swelled the figures abnormally, and for several years after the war's end there was a measure of recession. By 1922, however, conditions were returning to normal. In that year the invest- ment in the industry was $47,765,000, in round figures. In 1924 there was a sharp decrease but this change was followed in the next year by a renewed upward movement. This movement is apparently now continuing, and there is reasonable prospect of a further increase in investment during 1930, as is shown by the fact that on parts of the Atlantic coast, for instance the activity in boat construction which was evident in the winter of 1928-29li as' again been mani- fest during the present winter. Personnel.—The year saw an increase of 2,154 in the number of persons directly employed in the fishing industry, and, all told, 80,373 were so engaged, as compared with 78,219 in the earlier year. Reckoning on the basis of an average of five dependents to each person employed in the industry, it will be FISHERIES BRANCH 7 seen that the fisheries are a source of livelihood or maintenance for a number of people almost equal to the estimated population of the province of New Bruns- wick. Of the total personnel engaged in the industry last year 64,083 were men in primary operations, as compared with 62,785 in 1928, and 16,290 were persons employed in fish canning and curing establishments, an increase of more than 800 over the figures for the previous year. Foreign Trade.—Export trade in fish and fish products in 1929 was not quite as large as in 1928—$37,546,393, as compared with $38,096,245—but it exceeded import trade by $33,312,487. The value of fisheries imports was greater by some $165,000 than it had been in 1928. Canadian fish and fish products continue to find sale in virtually all parts of the world but the major business is done with the United States in fresh and frozen fish.

    THE WILDERNESS MYTH: WILDERNESS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA by ERIC OWEN DAVIES B.A. University of British Columbia 196 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1972 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for.reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date ABSTRACT The exploitation of natural resources in British Columbia has been strongly influenced by man's attitudes towards his environment. These attitudes have evolved from the cultural and historical legacy of Europe as well as from certain unique North American characteristics. As an ultimately irreplacable resource, wilderness serves as an interesting example of man's relationship to his environment. However, this relationship is difficult to document, requiring consideration of such diverse aspects as the cultural and historical sources of wilderness attitudes; the various values placed on wilderness; the treat• ment of wilderness as reflected in parks policy; and an approximate knowledge of the existing distribution of wilderness in British Columbia. Attempts to integrate these can at best only provide a personal view of the overall situation, but this seems useful if there is to be progress towards the understanding of man's relationship to his environment.

  • Functioning and Changes in the Streamflow Generation of Catchments
    Ecohydrology in space and time: functioning and changes in the streamflow generation of catchments Ralph Trancoso Bachelor Forest Engineering Masters Tropical Forests Sciences Masters Applied Geosciences A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Trancoso, R. (2016) PhD Thesis, The University of Queensland Abstract Surface freshwater yield is a service provided by catchments, which cycle water intake by partitioning precipitation into evapotranspiration and streamflow. Streamflow generation is experiencing changes globally due to climate- and human-induced changes currently taking place in catchments. However, the direct attribution of streamflow changes to specific catchment modification processes is challenging because catchment functioning results from multiple interactions among distinct drivers (i.e., climate, soils, topography and vegetation). These drivers have coevolved until ecohydrological equilibrium is achieved between the water and energy fluxes. Therefore, the coevolution of catchment drivers and their spatial heterogeneity makes their functioning and response to changes unique and poses a challenge to expanding our ecohydrological knowledge. Addressing these problems is crucial to enabling sustainable water resource management and water supply for society and ecosystems. This thesis explores an extensive dataset of catchments situated along a climatic gradient in eastern Australia to understand the spatial and temporal variation

The area illustrated in the sketch map above represents a one way trip by modern Canadian Pacific train of 1473.2 miles. For the sake of argument, let's call it 1500 miles. Fifteen hundred miles of scenery that ranges from Prairies with the biggest skies you have ever seen; ranchlands that climb steadily to the foothills; the scenic upthrust of the Canadian Rockies to the alluvial valley that leads to Vanekuver and the many-inletted sheltered coasts of British Columbia on the mainland and Vancouver Island. The Canadian Rockies, famous as one of the world's most spectacular playgrounds, is an all-embracing term including the Rocky Mountains, the Selkirks and the Coastal Range of British Columbia, pierced, as the map shows, by a grid of Canadian Pacific services linking the trans-continental main line—the Banff•take Louise route—to the equally scenic but less known southern Coquihalla Canyon-Crews Nest Pass route—both diesel-operated! Train, boat and bus services open Hsu heart of the Canadian Rockies through the Okanagan Valley, the Columbia River-Arow Lakes district and the picturesque Lake Windermere country.

AMENDING LEGISLATION. The Highways and Vehicles Act No. 3379 passed in December, 1924, became operative during the year, when on the 11th February, 1925, the. main road from Bairnsdale to Wodonga through Bruthen, Omeo, and Tallangatta was declared a State Highway under the designation of the Omeo Highway. From the date mentioned, the financial responsibility for the maintenance of this highway has devolved upon the Board on behalf of the State. The highway passes through the municipal districts of the Shires of Bairnsdale, Tambo, Omeo, Towong, Yackandandah and Wodonga, and although the whole cost of the work of maintenance is borne by the Board, advantage has been taken of the provisions of Sec·tion 8 of the Highways and Vehicles Act to permit of the local municipal authorities carrying out and supervising the work, to which they have readily agreed.
