REVIEW OF, THE FISHERIES 1933 The year's total catch of aIl kinds of fish, both sea and inland, and including shellfish, amounted to 785,460,000 pounds, having a marketed value of $27,558,053. In comparison with 1932 results these figures represent a decrease 5 6 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES of 20,922,000 pounds in' catch but an increase of $1,600,943 in marketed value. Of the catch, 719,865,000 pounds were taken in the sea fisheries while 65,595,000 pounds were taken from the inland waters of Canada. The sea fisheries production had a marketed value of $23,494,695 and the inland fisheries output a value of $4,063,358. The individual fishery showing the largest gain was the salmon, which had an increased catch and marketed value both in the sea and inland waters. The total marketed value was idivided as follows: To British Columbia forty-three per cent, vvhich is five per cent more than last year; the three Mari- time Provinces thirty-six per cent; Quebec and Ontario seven and one-half each and the Prairie Provinces and Yukon the remainder. Table I, below, shows the marketed value of the 1933 production by provinces, and gives also the figures for each of the four preceding years. In table II, the marketed value figures for the sea and inland fisheries, respectively, for 1933 are shown. TABLE I

Capital Investment and Personnel.—The total capital invested in the industry—that is, the amount represented by the plant and equipment in use—was $40,907,470 of which $24,912,482 was invested in primary operations or the vessels, boats and gear used in catching the fish while the remainder, $15,994,988, represents the value of the canneries, fish curing plants, etc., where operations were carried on ashore. The total capital invested shows a drop of less than half a million dollars. While the value of vessels, boats and gear used in the primary industry was slightly more than in 1932, the value of the buildings on shore where canning and fish curing operation were carried on showed a drop of a little more than $600,000. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 7 The total number of persons employed in the industry was 79,328, of wham 65,391 were engaged in catching the fish and 13,927 employed on shore in canneries and fish curing establishments. In both instances there were slight increases in the numbers employed. Major Fisheries.—The chief branch of the industry, from the monetary standpoint, is the salmon fishery which had a total marketed value for the year amounting to $9,758,346. The Pacific coast had a production of salmon valued at $9,184,090. The lobster fishery ranked second, with a marketed value of $3,524,355, while the cod fishery dropped in value to $2,598,756. The whitefish fishery, which is the most important of the inland fisheries, had a marketed value of only $1,136,060, which is only a little more than half what it was a few years ago when market conditions were more favourable.

NOVA SCOTIA The marketed value of the fisheries was $6,010,601, as compared with $6,557,943, although the quantity of fish landed, 215,521,700 pounds, was 19,- 808,100 pounds more than in the previous year. Lobsters again led in point of marketed value, $1,884,715, while cod was second with a marketed value of $1,442,599. The catch of lobsters 17,685,800 pounds, a decrease of 6,037,200 pounds, while the catch of cod, 86,603,300 pounds, represents an increase of 7,004,900 pounds. The catch of haddock dropped from 34,706,900 pounds in 1933 to 25,495,400 pounds, while the marketed value of $799,218 represents a decrease of $287,125. There were 20,970,600 pounds of mackerel taken, or nearly double the quantity of the year previous, with a corresponding increase in the 5 value. The salmon and alewife catches were slightly less than in 1932 while the smelt catch of 682,800 pounds was only two-thirds of the previous year's landings. There were 450,000 pounds of tuna landed, which was not quite double the catch of 1933, and the 1,713,700 pounds of swordfish shows an increase of 677,800 pounds. A total of 30,750 pounds of scallops brought ashore was 11,263 pounds more than the 1933 catch. The quantity of fish meal produced rose from 2,909 tons to 4,015 tons.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND There was a decrease of $146,604 in the marketed value of the fisheries, the total amounting to $842,315 for the year. The lobster fishery is the largest branch of the industry in the island and had a marketed value of $591,801. The catch of 9,154,700 pounds represents a decrease of 2,303,300 pounds from the preceding year. Increased catches of cod, hake, herring, mackerel and oysters were recorded while declines were noted in the landings of haddock, smelts and clams. NEW BRUNSWICK The fisheries of this province showed an increase both in catch and marketed value. The former, 129,995,200 pounds, shows an increase of 28,340,300 pounds, while the value, $3,061,152, represents a gain of $88,470. The increased catches were chiefly in hake, herring and sardines. Roughly speaking, there were four and one-half million more pounds of hake, eleven and one-half million more pounds of herring and twelve and one-half million more pounds of sardines. The salmon catch, which is an important branch of the industry, was 2,261,300 pounds from the sea fisheries and 79,500 pounds from inland rivers and streams. The former figures repre,sent an increase of more than 450,000 8 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES pounds while the inland catch was slightly less than in 1932. Smelts are also one of the important species landed in the province but the catch, 5,244,400 pounds, shows quite a drop. The catch of lobsters was also less.

QUEBEC Both the catch of fish and the marketed value of the catch show an increase for the year. The catch was 93,336,100 pounds, which was an increase of 1,364,200 pounds, and the marketed value of $2,128,471 was $312,927 greater. The catch of cod, 51,496,200 pounds, increased by 5,423,100 pounds and the marketed value, $863,913, shows an increase of $215,191. The cod fishery is the most important branch of the fishing industry in this province. The second largest is the lobster fishery which showed a catch of 3,157,100 pounds for the year and a marketed value of $217,476. Both of these figures represent small decreases. The catch of salmon, 1,262,800 pounds, shows a small increase while the marketed value of $139,822 is almost fifty per cent greater. An increase was noted in the catch of smelts and caplin, while smaller catches of halibut, herring, mackerel, clams and scallops were reported. In the inland sections of the province increased catches of catfish, eels, herring, raaskinonge, perch, pickerel, shad, salmon, smelts, sturgeon and whitefish were reported. In most cases the increases were not very large. The marketed value of the inland fisheries was $527,001, an increase of almost $75,000, while that of the sea fisheries, $1,601,470, was up about $238,000.

ONTARIO Production and marketed value both fell off during the year. The catch, 29,201,200 pounds, was less by 1,661,500 pounds while the marketed value of $2,089,842 shows a drop of only $58,148. The trout and whitefish fisheries, which are the most important, showed decreases in both catch and marketed value. Blue pickerel and tullibee were taken in increased quantities while fewer herring, perch and sturgeon were caught. The catch of pike was practically the same as in the year previous.

MANITOBA Whitefish, pickerel and tullibee are the chief kinds of fish taken in Mani- toba. In the case of tullibee, the year's catch, 1,812,600 pounds and marketed value $45,931, were off, the latter being less than half the 1932 value. The catch of whitefish, 6,136,700 pounds, shows a substantial increase, more than 750,000 pounds, but the marketed value of $434,922 was off almost $20,000. The catch of pickerel, 6,897,400 pounds, was considerably greater than in 1932 but there was a drop in the marketed value, $382,653, of slightly more than $45,000. There were more perch and saugers taken but the landings of goldeyes and pike were less.

SASKATCHEWAN Practically no change in the total marketed value of this province is noted, the figures for the years 1933 and 1932 being $186,417 and $186,174, respectively. The chief fishery is for whitefish and the catch of 2,574,000 pounds shows an increase of slightly more than 500,000 pounds, but the marketed value of $125,653 was less by $4,758. Increased catches were made of ling, pickerel, pike, trout and tullibee, with corresponding increases in marketed value. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 9

ALBERTA Increased catches were reported in whitefish, pickerel, pike and tullibee, but there were smaller landings of trout. The total marketed value, $144,518, was slightly less than in 1932. The main fishery, that of whitefish, showed a catch of 1,396,900 pounds, or slightly more than in the year before, while the marketed value of $81,868 was less by $10,000 and more.

BRITISH COLUMBIA The total landings of fish in British Columbia were 290,234,500 pounds, having a marketed value of $12,001,471. While the catch shows a drop of some 57,000,000 pounds, the marketed value increased more than $2,000,000. The "big three " of the industry, salmon, halibut and herring, each showed a substantial improvement both in catch and marketed value. The salmon catch of 141,050,400 pounds had a marketed value of $9,184,090; herring landings were 107,737,300 pounds with a marketed value of $738,532, and the halibut catch was 17,081,300 pounds, worth $1,391,941. The pack of salmon was 1,265,072 cases with a value of $7,428,125. This represents an increase of more than 180,000 cases and $1,000,000 in value. The quantity of dry salted herring, which is shipped to the orient, was almost double that of the year before, 51,302,400 pounds being produced. For some unknown reason, the pilchard run did not materialize and the landings of 6,535,300 pounds showed a drop of some 82,000,000 pounds. The quantity of pilchard meal and oil produced were, of course, in the same reduced proportions. Whaling operations were again carried on and the 209 whales captured had a marketed value of $110,030.

YUKON TERRITORY The commercial fisheries of the Yukon are confined to a few varieties, the most important of which is salmon. The catch of this species, 50,000 pounds, shows a decrease of 13,000 pounds, while the marketed value of $7,500 is almost $2,000 less. The marketed value for the Territory was $17,100.

ATLAN'lle COAST RES1ILTS The total landings of fish and shellfish on the Atlantic coast during the year were 444,148,700 pounds as compared with 405,603,900 pounds in 1932. By provinces the catch was distributed as follows:— Province Pounds Nova Scotia 215,521,700 New Brunswick 112,943,600 Quebec 93,336,100 Prince Edward Island 22,347,300

' Cod, Haddock, Hake and Cusk and Pollock.—The total quantity of these varieties landed was 205,577,600 pounds, as compared with 199,221,500 pounds in the year preceding. The landings of cod were greater than in 1932, and each of the provinces contributed to this increase. Nova Scotia and Quebec, where the heaviest cod landings are made, showed catches of 86,603,300 pounds and 51,496,200 pounds, respectively. The haddock landings were somewhat smaller than in 1932. In Nova Scotia, where the great bulk of the haddock landings take place, the catch dropped from 34,706,900 pounds in 1933 to 25,495,400 pounds for the year under review. The quantity of hake and cusk landed increased somewhat, large catches being made in the county of Charlotte, New 10 DEPA.RTMENT OF FISHERIES Brunswick. An increase was recorded here of 131 per cent, which is attributable to the bonuses paid on this species by the government of the province. A drop was recorded in the total catch of pollock, although New Brunswick recorded a slightly greater catch. These fish were landed only in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The total marketed value of the several species referred to in this paragraph was $3,611,704, as compard with $3,493,629 in 1932. The province of Nova Scotia showed a drop in value but there were increases in the other three provinces. Herring, Mackerel, and Sardines.—Increased catches, by provinces, were reported except in Quebec. The total landings of the three kinds were 146,943,- 900 pounds to which the province of New Brunswick contributed 75,206,100 pounds. Nova Scotia's catch of mackerel, 20,970,600 pounds, was almost double that of the preceding year, as was New Brunswick's catch of sardines, which amounted to 26,022,400 pounds. Decreased landings of herring and mackerel were reported from Quebec. The marketed value of the three kinds was $1,931,773, which was an increase of $493,040. Sardines, with a marketed value of $622,531, in New Brunswick, accounted for almost $200,000 of the increase. Flounders, Halibut, and Swordfish.—While the catch of flounders decreased from 631,800 pounds to 612,600 pounds in 1933, there were increases in the landings of halibut and swordfish. The catch of halibut, 3,001,100 pounds, showed an increase of 501,300 pounds, while the quantity of swordfish taken, 1,713,700 pounds, increased by more than 677,000 pounds. Swordfish are taken off Nova Scotia only and the greater part of the halibut and flounder catch is also landed from Nova Scotia waters. Halibut had a marketed value of $302,464, as compared with $267,514 in 1932, while swordfish had a value of $208,038, or an increase of some $108,000. Much better prices were realized by the fishermen for their catch during the season than in the year before. River Spavming Fish.—The catch of salmon, both sea and inland, amounted to 4,549,700 pounds or an increase of 656,000 pounds.. The marketed value of $566,256 shows a proportionate increase. The greatest catch of this species is off the Northumberland Strait shore of New Brunswick, although a large catch is also made in Quebec. While smelts are landed in all four provinces, the greater catch is in New Brunswick where 5,244,400 pounds out of a total catch of 7,719,000 pounds was made. The marketed value of New Brunswick smelts was $315,485 out of a total of $490,716. There were smaller catches in each province in 1933 except in Quebec, where the increase amounted to 150,000 pounds. Alewives are taken in quantities in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and a few in Prince Edward Island. The total catch of 7,374,900 pounds shows a large gain ov-er the catch of the year previous, when 5,844,400 pounds veere landed. The catch does not represent the plentifulne,ss or scarcity of these fish as much larger quantities could be taken if there were a demand. • Lobsters.—From the marketed value standpoint, the lobster fishery is the most important branch of the fishing industry on the Atlantic, although some years ago the cod fishery held first place. The year's lobster catch, 37,491,600 pounds, had a marketed value of $3,524,355. These figures represent a drop both in the catch and value. In 1932 the catch was 48,348,800 pounds and the marketed value $4,745,311. Each of the four provinces recorded a decreased catch in 1933, Nova Scotia's dropping 26 per cent, New Brunsvvick's 25 per cent, Prince Edward Island's 20 per cent and Quebec's three per cent. In the tables which follow will be found the statistics covering the lobster catch its marketed value and the disposal of the catch by provinces for the past three years.

Other Shellftsh.-Among the other kinds of shellfish landed on the Atlantic coast clams and quahaugs had a marketed value of $54,793 compared with $78,003 in the year previous. New Brunswick, where the largest production occurs, showed a slight increase in the landings. Oysters are landed in all four provinces but the landings are greatest in the province of New Brunswick, where 10,162 barrels were taken. This is slightly less than in the year previous. In Nova Scotia, 3,388 barrels were landed and in Prince Edward Island 6,643 barrels. In addition to clams, quahaugs and oysters, some small quantities of crabs, mussels and winkles were landed. 12 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

INLAND FLSHERIES There were 65,575,300 pounds of fish taken in the inland waters of Canada, with a marketed value of 84,063,358, compared with landings of 63,496,300 ' pounds in 1932 having a marketed value of $4,194,022. The following table shows the landings of the chief varieties for the past three years:—

Whitefish 15,213,500 13,847,800 15,785,600 Pickerel (or doré) 10,627,200 8,949,800 9,182,100 Tullibee 4,230,000 4,764,400 4,279,500 Trout 5,073,400 5,007,200 7,155,700 Pike 4,114,600 4,140,000 5,928,600 Herring 3,418,000 3,669,200 5,950,800 Perch 4,036,700 6,021,300 5,037,600 Eels 2,495,000 1,930,700 1,786,700 Blue pickerel 4,216,400 4,061,000 5,404,800 Mullets 236,200 400,000 358,100 Carp 1,854,500 1,806,100 1,600,200 Goldeyes 287,600 309,700 350.900

In the inland waters of New Brunswick, shad are taken in the greatest numbers while salmon have the largest marketed value. During the year, the landings of both varieties showed a decrease. Eels, which are the most valuable catch in inland Quebec, were landed to the amount of 2,414,500 pounds and had a marketed value of $128,285. Taking the inland waters as a -whole, the most important species landed was the whitefish, which had a marketed value of $1,136,400 compared with $1,193,634 in the earlier year. In Ontario the next most important kinds to whitefish were trout and blue pickerel, which showed slightly larger catches than in 1932. The catch of pickerel was greater in Manitoba and Saskatchewan than in the year before, but the marketed value was less. In Alberta, however, pickerel catch and marketed value showed increases. In the Yukon territory salmon are taken in larger quantities than any other species. PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES The total quantity of fish landed on the Pacific coast was 290,234,500 pounds, having a marketed value of $12.001,471 as compared with 347,494,600 pounds in the year previous and a marketed value of $9,909,116. Both in point of landings and marketed value the salmon fishery is the largest and most important branch of the Pacific industry. Some 141,050,400 pounds were landed in 1933, having a marketed value of $9,184,090. The pack of canned salmon was 1,265,072 cases with a marketed value of $7,428,123 compared with 1,081,011 cases valued at $6,357,813 in 1932. The increase in the pack was in pink salmon. A fairly large increase was noted in the amount of salmon used fresh while the quantity of salmon oil produced jumped from 10,370 gallons to 63,830 gallons. Ha/ibut.—Next in importance to the salmon is the halibut industry. The catch of 17,081,300 pounds represents an increase of almost 200,000 pounds while the marketed value of $1,391,941 show an increase of more than $430,000. The increased use of halibut liver oil is reflected in the greater value of the halibut livers. Although the quantity of livers sold, 229,300 pounds, only shows an increase of 72,000 pounds, the value jumped from $29,571 to $45,995. Herring.—The third large branch of the industry on this coast is the herring fishery. The catch of 107,737,300 pounds had a marketed value of $738,522. The landings increased 7,416.900 pounds, the marketed value $202,031. The greatest increase in herring business was in the trade with the Orient in the dry- salted fish. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 13

Pilchards.—The pilchard, which is taken only on the Pacific coast, is used almost altogether in the production of meal and oil. For some unknown reason these fish did not appear in anything like normal numbers at the usual season 1 in 1933 and such schools as were located later on—and only few schools were sighted—were far from shore. The catch was only 6,535,300 pounds with a marketed value of $77,464, as compared with 88,696,400 pounds and $383,920 in the year previous. The quantity of meal produced was 1,108 tons, compared with 8,842 tons in 1932, and of oil 275,879 gallons, compared with 1,315,864 gallons. Other Fisheries.—Among the other kinds of fish landed by British Columbia fishermen are the different cods, black, grey, ling and red and rock; grayfish, used in the production of meal and oil; and shellfish, including clams, crabs, oysters and shrimps. Whaling is carried on by one company, having two stations, one of which was in operation during 1933. No whaling operations were carried on in 1931 or 1932. The number of -whales taken in 1933 was 209.

FOREIGN TRADE IN FISHERIES PRODUCTS

• 'Canada's export trade in fisheries products in 1933 (calendar year) showed encouraging improvement over the business of the year previous. Import trade, on the other hand, had smaller value than in 1932. Setting import decrease over against export gain, the net result was that total foreign trade showed an increase of slightly more than $1,333,500. More than half of the increase came about through great expansion in the sales of canned salmon to France under the trade agreement between the two countries. • The value of the foreign trade for the year amounted in all to $21,809,668, as compared with $20,476,142 in 1932. To this value total the export business contributed $20,206,904, an increase of $1,470,661, and import trade $1,602,764, a decrease of $137,135. The United States continued to be the largest single buyer of our fisheries products, with the United Kingdom coming second. Purchases by the United States had a total value of $8,791,616 and those made by the United Kingdom were -valued at $4,371,748. Much the greater part of the business with the , United States was in fresh and frozen fish, with the sales amounting to $6,626,686 or 75 per cent of the total value of the exports sent across the border. Canned or preserved fish made up most of the shipments to Great Britain. Canned salmon, $2,339,298, represented almost 54 per cent of the total value of the exportation to this market and canned lobsters something over 28 per cent, or $1,226,296. On both sides of the year's account, export and import, the largest business, 1 reckoning on the value basis, was in canned or preserved fish. (The term "fish " is used as including shellfish). Imports in this classification amounted to $659,554, or slightly more than 41 per cent of the total; canned sardines from . Norway made up the largest single item under this head. In the case of exports, " canned or preserved fish made up 40 per cent of the foreign sales, or $8,141,552 out of $20,206,904. The other three general categories in which fisheries pro- : ducts are classified for purposes of trade record are fresh and frozen fish, dried, .smoked, pickled, and salted fish, and other articles of the fisheries, the last category including such commodities as fish meal and oil. The exports under these different heads in 1933 were as follows:— Fresh and frozen fish—$7,492,277, or a little more than 37 per cent of the total export business. Dried, smoked, pickled and salted fish—$4,002,255, or nearly 20 per cent .of the total. •. Other products of the fisheries—$570,820, or about 3 per cent of the total. 14 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES As already indicated, the outstanding trade development of the year was the great increase in the export business done with France in canned salmon. Both in quantity and value-119,571 hundredweights and $916,433—this business with France was more than ten times as large as in the year before. Sales of canned salmon to Australia and one or two other countries also increased. The sales to the United Kingdom were below the 1932 level but, on the other hand, the sales of fresh and frozen salmon from Canada in the British market were nearly twice as large as in the previous year, or 49,000 hundredweight, roundly stated, and their value, $672,500, also showed an increase not far short of 100 per cent. Other large export gains included a betterment of over $251,000 in the trade in drysalted herring, a commodity which is shipped almost wholly to the Orient, an increase of $198,800 in the sales of fresh and frozeri halibut to the United States, an increase of over $197,000 in the business in dried codfish, another'of $134,000 and more in the sales of whitefish to United States importers. and a gain of more than $118,000 in the trade in pickled salmon.

INSPECTION OF FISH PRODUCTS During the fiscal year almost 405,200 packages of fish products and containers were inspected on the Atlantic coast under the Fish Inspection Act and on the Pacific coast more than 127,100 boxes of drysalted herring containing 400 pounds each, while over 1,395,200 cases of canned salmon were inspected in British Columbia under the Meat and Canned Foods Act. In addition, several thousand inspections of fish-curing establishments were carried out under the former act, and under the Meat and Canned Foods Act there were frequent inspections of the 354 fish canneries in operations and their raw materials and processes. With the exception of the canned salmon inspection, which was performed by the federal Board of Canned Salmon Inspection, all of this great body of work was done by the department's permanent fishery inspectors as one part of their regular duty. All of these inspectors have been qualified for this service by special courses of instruction in the past few years, examinations being given at the end of each course. In recent years Canada's fish inspection systems have been extended in their application and their requirements have been made stricter. It was in 1932, for instance, that regulations were macle effective which forbid any canned salmon put up in British Columbia, the great producing centre, frora being shipped to market until it has been inspected by the permanent board set up for this purpose and has been found to satisfy the conditions laid down under authority of the Meat and Canned Foods Act. At the middle of 1933 another important change was made to give further guarantee of quality production and regulations were made operative providing for compulsory inspection of certain products coming under the Fish Inspection Act, as, for example, pickled and smoked herring. Prior to that time inspection was made compulsory, although certain standards as to quality and grading had been established. Under the new conditions the products in question may not be shipped or sold until the fish themselves and the containers holding them have been inspected and marked in prescribed form by a qualified inspecting officer. One result of these extensions of inspection systems, and steps similar to them, has been that the work of inspecting officials has been greatly increased, and for a time during the past year some inspectors were so overtaxed that other qualified officers from outside their districts had to be sent to assist them. But the result of outstanding significance is that the inspections have shown that all save very small percentages of the products inspected have been up to the prescribed standards as to quality, or, in other words, Canadian producers generally are putting up quality goods. A few figures in this regard may be interesting here, although inspection work is reviewed in more detail in Appendix No. 5 of this report. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 15 Out of the 1,395,218 cases of canned salmon inspected in British Columbia during the year 1,376,734 cases were found to merit certificates of approval from the inspecting board, 17,311 were below certificate standard but were sound, wholesome, and fit for human food and were graded and marked "Second 1,173 eases were below*" Second Quality " and were, there- Quality," while only fore, confiscated. Of more than 220,000 boxes of smok-ed round herring inspected under the Fish Inspection Act on the Atlantic coast only 1,000 boxes were below' the prescribed quality. Slightly more than 61,200 packages of pickled mackerel were inspected, and all save 857 barrels were up to the required standard. The 1 case of oysters inspected on the Atlantic coast was striking. The inspectors passed upon 13,658 barrels and boxes of oysters and of all this quantity only four boxes did not satisfy the conditions laid down by the reg,ulations. a The department has been laying increasing emphasis upon quality production in recent years. Quality has been stres.sed in all its educational work among the producers. As already indicated, regulations as to inspection have been stiffened and their application widened. All this has been done because it is so manifestly true that unless Canada's fisheries products are of high quality they cannot hope to find increased sale in the home market or to compete successfully in the foreign field with goods from other leading fisheries countries. Happily, most of the producers have been found ready to recognize the soundness of this position and to comply to the best of their ability with the requirements laid down under the inspection acts. The records of inspections during the past year are gratifying evidence to this latter effect.

INSTRUCTIONAL WORK In making reference to instructional work done by the department a specific incident may be cited from the year's records as indicative of the value of the policy of making advice from experts available to fishermen in their own communities. In the course of last season a producer in eastern Nova Scotia shipped to Massachusetts a large cargo of pickle-cured cod which had been prepared in accordance with the method taught by instructors sent out by the department. Some discussion as to terms took place between shipper and buyer before the fish went forward but no definite agreement as to price was made. When the cargo reached Massachusetts the buy-er found it of such excellent quality that he described it as one of the best shipments he had ever seen, and what was still more convincing he paid substantially more for the fish than the price sug- 11 gested before the consignment had gone forward. The incident was perhaps more striking than others which have occurred but it was not the first happen- ing which has shown the soundness of the course which the department has been taking in the past few years and the advantage which may be reaped by the fishermen through following the instructors' advice. It may also be said that '1 buyers in the United States, which is the principal market for Canadian pickle- I cured• cod, have made it clear that they are prepared to increase their purchases a in any districts where the fishermen follow satisfactorily the advice and instruc- tions brought to them by the department. During the past year instructors in pickle curing were in the field in Prince Edward Island and in Nova Scotia. The work was under the immediate supervision of a departmental officer of long experience in fish curing and working under him were four competent assistants who, by actual demonstrations, showed how the cod should be split, salted, and cut. Pickle curing instruction A was extended during the 1933 season to a number of areas not previously 1 covered, the greatest extension taking place in the eastern mainland of Nova 1 Scotia and in Cape Breton Island. Instructors in the method of preparing dried cod in what is known as " Gaspe cure" were also placed in the field by the department during the year. 16 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES One was employed in the Magdalen Islands and the other in Gloucester county, N.B., the former giving instruction at fifteen fishing settlements and the latter at about a dozen. Both gave demonstrations of the most approved methods of splitting, washing, salting, and drying the fish, and gave oral instruction, and supervised the fishermen's own drying operations. Instructional work of the year • also included several special courses given for fishermen and others at stations of the Biological Board of Canada. Refer- ence to these courses is made in other paragraphs of this review and in Appendix No. 2 and Appendix No. 5.

LOBSTER TRANSPORTATION SERVICE The subsidized boat service arranged by the department for the transportation of live lobsters from eastern Nova Scotia to the ports of Boston and Gloucester, Massachusetts, was again operated during the 1933 lobster fishing season. There were four boats in use at various times during this period, the first trip being made on April 17 and the last trip on July 19. The total number of crates carried was 11,690, containing an estimated weight of 1,605,150 pounds of lobsters. In the previous year the quantity transported was 1,623,210 pounds. The charge made to the fishermen for carrying the lobsters by this service was $3 for each crate of approximately 150 pounds, the charge covering also the return of the empty crate. The cost of the service to the department during the past year was $17,869.19. Collections were made at St. Peters, Arichat, Petit de Grat, Queensport, Canso, Dover, Whitehead, Port Felix, Coddles Harbour, Fisherman's Harbour, and Drum Head, and fishermen from nearby settlements brought their lobsters to these ports for shipment. Lobsters were brought to Petit de Grat from ports on almost the entire coast of Cape Breton by an independent collection service for transhipment to United States ports via the Government subsidized service. Shipments were also brought from the mainland ports as far as Arisaig in Pictou county by an independent service and transferred to the Government service at Queensport and Canso. It was found that in a number of instances the lobsters brought in from outside ports and transferred to the Government service for shipment were in a poor condition and consequently greatly increased the quantity condemned at the port of delivery. The total quantity condemned, however, was only 49,150 pounds or slightly over three per cent. In this connection acknowledgment should be made of the courtesy of the Massachusetts authorities in making available to the department a report on each shipment arriving within their jurisdiction on the subsidized boats. These reports were made by officers of the Massachusetts Bureau of Marine Fisheries, and showed what quantity of lobsters was condemned in each shipment and what the temperature levels had been in the hold of the carrying vessel during its voyage. This information was of considerable value to the department in the supervision of the service. The transportation service was found to be of very great benefit to the fishermen, enabling them to realize a better price for their fresh lobsters than they could otherwise have hoped to receive. In the cases in which shipments did not reach the port of delivery in good shape—and, as the figures given above have indicated, such cases were relatively few—the cause would seem to be found that the lobsters had been held too long by the shippers before being sent forward and were consequently not in first class condition when shipped. The fact cannot be too strongly stressed that fishermen must ship only fresh caught lobsters or lobsters in first class condition; if the lobsters are not in such condition to start the trip the financial returns will be much less than had been hoped. It has been satisfactorily demonstrated that where shipments are REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 17 made of lobsters in first class condition there is little if any deterioration during the trip and they arrive at Massachusetts in such shape as to commend the prevailing prices. d highest of Packet Service.—Assistance on a subsidy basis was continued during the year to a schooner packet service between L'Ardoise, Cape Breton and Halifax. As noted in previous reports, this service has been assisted by the department because adequate transportation facilities are lacking in the L'Ardoise district. The packet service aids the fishermen in marketing their catches and in obtaining supplies. FISHERIES INTELLIGENCE By means of radio broadcasts arranged for by the department the fishermen of the Atlantic coast were again supplied last year with daily weather fore- casts and with regular reports as to the quantities of bait and ice available at various ports. Such a service is no t required on the Pacifie coast, where the conditions attending fishing operations are different from those in the eastern , area, but each successive year brings added confirmation of the value of the Atlantic broadcasts, which were initiated by the department several years ago. There has been frequent testimony from fishermen as to the assistance they often derive from these broadcasts in planning their operations from day to day, and the continuance of the service is abundantly warranted. The weather reports are broadcast twice daily throughout the year from Saint John, N.B., Halifax N.S., and Louisburg, N.S. The summaries of bait and ice conditions are included in the messages from Louisburg and Halifax during all of the year save two or three of the winter months when they are not required. Rebroadcasts of the reports are made from C.G.S. Arras, the departmental ship which goes to the Newfoundland banks with the Canadian fishing fleet each year, and with the service from the stations at shore and the rebroadcasts from the Arras there is a wide coverage. The weather reports sent out are those of the Meteorological Service of the Dominion while the summaries of bait and ice conditions are made up at the department's Eastern Division office at Halifax from reports telegraphed to the office daily by fisheries officers in various parts of Nova Scotia and the Magdalen Islands. Through the co-operation of the Newfoundland Department of Marine and Fisheries it is also 1, possible to include in the broadcasts information as to bait supplies available at different points in Newfoundland. During the year the department continued to issue its Fisheries News Bulletin, which has been found useful from the departmental point of view and of interest to many persons, newspapers, and institutions throughout the country. Numerous requests from persons and organizations desiring to be placed on the bulletin mailing list were received during the year. The paper is published monthly and both English and French editions are circulated. 1 The printed Quarterly Bulletin of Sea Fisheries Statistics, which the department had been issuing for some time, was discontinued at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Quarterly Bulletin was a purely statistical publication and while it was of interest to persons concerned with fisheries matters it was felt that in view of the need for economy its issuance might reasonably be stopped 1 for the present. When financial conditions permit, it is possible that its publi- 1 cation may be resumed. An important part of the work done during the year consisted in supplying special articles relative to the fisheries which had been asked for by various 1 newspapers and in dealing with numerous requests for information regarding the Dominion's fish and fisheries resources, the fishing industry, methods of home 1 , processing, and so on. The larger number of the inquiries were for general infor- Mation or for departmental pamphlets, etc., but there were also many cases in 83480-2 18 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES which questions of a technical nature were brought forward for answer. — Frequent requests for fisheries material were received from school pupils and teachers, and it is the department's policy to comply with these requests, not perfunctorily, but as fully as possible since it is believed that in this way a good

>1 }, deal may be acomplished toward increasing interest in the fisheries and emphasizing the importance of the fishing industry from the national point of view.

INCREASING DEMAND. FOR FISH FOODS In further endeavour to enlarge the domestic demand for Canadian fish foods the department continued during the year the program of fish cookery demonstrations and addresses on the food and health values of fish and shellfish, which it began in 1931-32. Mrs. Evelene Spencer, specialist in fish cookery, was kept in the field and it is very satisfactory to record that the work which the department carried on through her continued to command the approval of the fishing industry and ',:o arouse a good deal of popular interest, chiefly, of -course, among the housewives. Representatives of the fish trade and members of the general public alike have spoken of the interest which was created in different communities where demonstrations were held and addresses given. The point is also to be made, however, that if the maximum benefit is to be obtained from this continuing departmental effort it is essential that those engaged in marketing Canadian fish foods in the Dominion shall be energetic to capitalize upon it. The department's campaign throughout the country is widening fish marketing opportunities but the industry must be alert to make the most of them if it is to gather the full advantage of what is being done to assist it. In the first part of the past fiscal year Mrs. Spencer carried on her work in several cities in Alberta and Saskatchewan and then in Winnipeg. In all three Prairie Provinces she had the co-operation of the respective provincial departments concerned with fisheries matters. The period from the end of June to early September was spent in Toronto and Ottawa but since the summer season is not an opportune time for demonstration work the program in those cities was confined to radio talks. Follo.wing the time spent in Toronto and Ottawa, Mrs. Spencer was sent to Montreal. Like Toronto and Ottawa and one or two other centres, Montreal had been visited on a previous occasion but as the city is the largest centre of population in the Dominion it was decided that a further extended series of meetings should be held there. As it turned out, however, the interest was so well sustained, and so many additional demonstrations were desired, that arrangements had to be made to carry on a much longer program than had o.riginally been planned. In addition to demonstrations at two of the city's largest departmental stores there were demonstrations and addresses -at numerous institutions, where the audiences included domestic science teachers and pupils, and frequent radio talks were also given. Both English and French Were spoken at the demonstrations and in the radio talks so that the information imparted might come to members of the audiences in the language with which they happened to be most familiar. At the close of the fiscal year the Montreal progra,m was nearing its conclusion. The work will be continued in various parts of the Dominion during the coming year for it is clear from what has already been accomplished that the plan which has been followed is an- effective one. Detailed arrangements for the new year have not yet been made, tif course, but it is probable that there will first be another series of demonstrations in Toronto. Other Ontario cities may also be Visited. Later on, it is expected Mrs. Spencer will go to the Mari- time Provinces, demonstrating and giving addresses in different centres. Reference to the department's campaign to widen knowledge of Canadian fish foods and to stimulate demand for them would be incomplete unless REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 19 acknowledgment were made of the generous co-operation extended by radio stations in all parts of the country where Mrs. Spencer has conducted her work. Almost without exception the stations which have been approached have readily granted the use of their facilities. The result has been that many thousands of people who could not attend the cookery demonstrations have been reached by informative addresses about fish foods, their value in the diet, the best and easiest ways of preparing them for the table. The department is glad to place formally on record its appreciation of the courtesies which the various stations have extended to it. In addition to conducting the demonstration work during the past year the department also sought to direct increased attention to the importance of the sheries to Canada by displayino. appropriate exhibits at several - of the larger fairs—the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto, the Central Canada Fair at Ottawa, and the Produced in Canada Exhibition at Montreal. These exhibits, which were all prepared by members of the department's Ottawa staff, attracted much attention. Besides possessing intrinsic educational value they also served the useful purpose of prompting many inquiries from spectators regarding fish and shellfish and the .fishing industry of the Dominion and thus opening an 'rpportunity for departmental officers on duty at the exhibitions to give out valuable information regarding the fisheries.

FISFI CULTURE Fish cultural work is carried on by the department in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island in the east, and in British Columbia in the west. The operation of the hatcheries located in the National Parks in Alberta is also directed by the Department of Fisheries but at the expense of the National Parks branch, Department of the Interior. Operations by the Department of Fisheries include the propagation of the more important fresh water and anadromous food and game fishes such as Atlantic and sebago salmon and speckled, rainbow, brown, Loch Leven, Kamloops, salmon and hybrid trout in the east, and sockeye, spring, pink, coho, Kennerly's, Atlantic and steelhead salmon and Kamloops, 'cutthroat,- rainbow, brown, Loch Leven, speckled and salmon trout in the west. During 1933 there were in operation 24 main hatcheries, 9 subsidiary hatcheries, 8 salmon retaining ponds and several egg-collecting camps. The total output for the year was 109,560,039. A detailed report on fish culture Operations during the past year is to be 1, found in Appendix 3 of this report. OYSTER AND SCALLOP INVESTIGATIONS Continuation of the department's program for encouraging oyster farming, and assisting oyster farmers, was an important feature of the year's work on the Atlantic coast. Scallop investigations or exploratory trips by a depart- !mental boat for the purpose of locating additional scallop beds, were also con- tintted in certain Atlantic areas during the year, and in passing it may be added that some similar work may be undertaken off northern British Columbia during the coming fiscal year. Up to the present the scallop fishery has been carried on in Atlantic waters only but as numbers of empty shells have now been found on British Columbia beaches bordering Dixon entrance, plans for an examination of this region, with a view to determining whether or not any scallop beds of commercial size are present, are now being considered by the department. Oyster Investigations.—Most of the oyster work of the past year was done in Prince Edward Island, where, several years ago, the department took initial 83480-2i 20 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES steps in Malpeque bay looking toward the development of oyster farming. Some work was also done in the Westmorland county portion of Shediac bay, th New Brunswick, where investigations designed to determine the feasibility of th department in 1931, follow- oyster farming in that area were undertak-en by the sa ing the transfer of the control and administration of the mollusk beds from a provincial to federal hands. There were three major items in the year's work in Shediac bay. One con- ti sisted of cleaning a bed and stocking it with 113 barrels of oysters from the Richibucto river, one of the well-known New Brunswick oyster areas. The as modifications the transplanting method which indications were that with some rn was followed might be of value in stocking the bay, but positive conclusions on a this point cannot yet be reached. The other two main items in the Shediac e work consisted of further trials in spat collection and of making a survey of the existing oyster populations to ascertain the most suitable part of the area to Y e use as a reserve for the maintenance of a sufficient spawning stock. of In Prince Edward Island during the year the number of areas under lease e from the department for cultivation as oyster farms increased from twenty-seven (the 1932 figure) to fifty seven, each figure including one area held under a deed c issued in earlier years but now farmed by the owners in accordance with the w departmental program. (In the case• of several of the areas included in the o 1933 figures, final formalities in connection with leasing had not been completed but the application for leases had been approved by the department). All of the in leased areas being farmed in 1932 were in the Malpeque Bay region but in 1933 ni two leases were taken out in the Cascumpeque district, three in Savage Bay and th six in Covehead and Brackley bays, while the farms in Malpeque bay increased to forty-five. The leased ground under cultivation in waters of the province of at the end of the year totalled approximately 244 acres. A summary of what ffi has been done in the way of cultivating the areas since the first leases were A granted shows that more than 1,200 barrels of oysters have been planted, in h( addition to large quantities of shells with spat or to collect spat, and a satis- ai factory production is promised for the near future. ni During the year the department's experimental work on various beds or plots was continued in Prince Edward Island. However, since a detailed review in of what has been accomplished in this regard is contained in Appendix No. 6 oi of this report, it is not necessary to say more here than that some very useful sc results have been obtained and the department's experiments and investigations promise to be of great assistance to the oyster industry in building up production. fc . Scallop Investigations—Exploratory dragging for scallops was done by the Si departmental scallop boat, the A. Tialkett, off Richmond county, Nova Scotia, ir off the north and east coasts of Prince Edward Island, and off Charlotte county, New Brunswick. In the Richmond county area no beds of commercial size were ai found. Off Charlotte county two beds were located which gave promise of yield- ing scallops in paying quantities. The dragging off Prince Edward Island revealed that on some large beds which the department had located in 1932 there had been very heavy mortality. The exact cause of this condition was not clear and the question was referred to the Biological Board for study. a A review of the dragging operations for the year will be found in Appendix II No. 7. A WORK OF THE BIOLOGICAL BOARD tl Although reduction in parliamentary appropriations necessarily led to some curtailment of the work of the Biological Board of. Canada a good deal of valuable investigation and experimentation in connection with scientific and technical questions relating to the fisheries was done during the year at the board's research centres, or stations. All four of the stations maintained by the board, which is the federal fisheries research organization, and, working under REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 21 '« th e control of the Minister of Fisheries, is virtually the scientific division of the department, were engaged with various problems while the substation at - Cultus lake, B.C., continued its work on the natural history of the Pacific salmon and the second substation, at Ellerslie, P.E.I., carried on further study and experiment touching oyster culture. The four stations are situated at St. Andrews, N.B., Nanaimo, B.C., Halifax, N.S., and Prince Rupert, B.C., respectively. The first two are concerned with purely scientific research and are known as Fisheries Biological Stations; the others, which are called Fisheries Experi- mental Stations, deal with practical problems such as the improvement of methods of handling and processing fish. While the members of the board serve as such without remuneration, a sraall but efficient staff of research workers is employed at each station. One of the important pieces of work done on the Atlantic coast during the year consisted of continued study and experiment in connection with the smoking of fish by conditioned air. The particular objects in view were reduction in the cost of apparatus and the prevention of what is known as " banding " in the colour of smoked fish. Success was achieved in both these respects, but the work on smoking will be carried further during the coming year. Other work on the practical side which was done in the Atlantic area included the development of improvements in the methods of canning tuna and mackerel; experiment in the rearing of oyster spat on cultch suspended in baskets in the water, a method which protects the spat from silt and from star-fish; and an attack on the problem of devising a moderate cost system of cold storage for bait. Numerous analyses and determinations Of the nutritive values of fish meals were made, and various other matters were taken up, including the determination of the amount of gastric juice secreted as the result of partaking of different fish foods, a study which is of dietetic importance. In the biological field the Atlantic coast undertakings included, among others, certain studies of the herring runs of the Passamaquoddy Bay region, research as to the distribution and migration of cod in the Halifax area, and a continuance of the studies of the natural history of the Atlantic salmon. On the Pacific coast the study of fish oils continued to have important place in the board's research. At the Prince Rupert station " marinol", a medicinal oil blended of pilchard oil and grayfish liver oil, was prepared on a commercial scale, and it may be noted that the demand for it is increasing steadily. The .Pacific program also included valuable further study of the conditions necessary for successful refrigeration and storage and of the efficiency of refrigerated cars. Study of the Pacific salmon was continued, and at Ladysmith harbour a thorough investigation of factors influencing oyster growth was also made. Educational work was also done by members of the board's staff, both east and west. At Halifax a course of instruction for fishermen was given, as well as a course for lobster cannery foremen. Members of the staff of the Fisheries Experimental Station at Halifax also delivered lectures in the course given by Dalhousie University leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (Fisheries). In British Columbia a course of instruction for fishery inspectors was given at the Nanaimo Station and at Prince Rupert a series of lectures were given to members of the Fishermen's Union and members of the Halibut Vessel Owners' Association. Further reference to the board's work will be found in Appendix No. 2 of this report, and a more detailed account is given in the annual report of the board itself. FISHING BOUNTY During the year fishing bounties were paid to 12,836 claimants, the total payments amounting to $159,311.35. This compares with 12,292 claims and $159,780.65 in the year before. The authority under which this money is dis-

Of this total, $26,341.94 was the net return ia obtained by the Dominion from selling in London, England, a number of the seal slçins delivered to by the United States under the provision of the treaty which entitles Canada to fifteen per cent, in number and value, of the seals taken annually on the Pribilof Islands by the United States. The balance of n, the total was made up of $24,658.05 received from the United States as the Dominion's percentage of the net proceeds from the sale at St. Louis, Missouri, during 1933 of 50,587 Pribilof skins taken in other years, and $1,463.57 paid ; t. by the Government of Japan as the net proceeds from the sale of Canada's share of the 1929 and 1930 takes of skins in the Japanese area coming under the treaty. The treaty provides that Canada is entitled to 10 per cent of the number and value of the total annual take of skins on Japanese sealing ground and in 1929 this take was 1,700 skins and in 1930 it was 1,720. The Dominion's action in selling in London its share of the skins taken by the United States in 1933 was a departure from the practice followed for a number of years previously. Under the earlier practice the United States sold at St. Louis all of the skins taken on the Pribilofs from year to year and then paid to Canada and Japan, out of the net proceeds, the sums respectively due those two countries in the light of the treaty. This plan was followed by agreement. Canada came to the view several years ago, however, that while co-operative selling has obvious advantages it would be wise to have selling undertaken in other markets in addition to St. Louis, instead of having all the 60 business centred in that city. Circumstances made it difficult to take immediate 20 action to this end but this year Canada decided to market her share of the 1933 10 00 Pribilof kill in London. Arrangements were made accordingly. The United 80 States delivered Canada's share of the skins-8,183 skins—at Seattle, without 80 30 making any charge for transporting them to that port from the Pribilof Islands, 50 and they were forwarded from there to Messrs. Lampson and Company, London, 80 90 for marketing. Messrs. Lampson are the largest dealers in fur skins in Great 00 Britain and in handling seal skins they work in conjunction with the two leading 60 95 dyers—Rice and Martin. 90 It was thought best not to put all of Canada's skins on sale at the one 80 60 time but 3,048 were offered in February, and with them four skins which the Dominion had confiscated in British Columbia. Of the 3,048 Pribilof skins 85 which were put on sale 2,074 were in the salted or unfinished condition and 974 had been dressed and dyed. The four confiscated skins were unfinished. The 30 LO total net return to the Dominion was $26,344.64, and, as already noted, the 10 skins which had come from Canada's share of the Pribilof kill accounted for 10 $26,341.94 of this amount. )0 )0 Sealing Off British Columbia.—Under the treaty the Indians of the province )0 are the only persons permitted to capture fur seals off British Columbia's coast and during the calendar year 1933 they took 1,984 skins, which had a marketed value of $7,060. In the preceding year the number of skins taken by the Indians was 1,787 and the marketed value figures were $4,885. Most of the seals captured in British Columbia waters are taken in Fisheries District No. 3, O which is made up of Vancouver Island and the mainland coast opposite.

0 Correction.—Before closing this reference to sealing an error in the report 0 for 1932-33 should be corrected. That report indicated that the take of skins 0 0 on the Pribilof Islands in 1932 had been considerably smaller than the number landed in the previous calendar year. The correct figures for the two years were, in reality, much the same-49,524 for 1931 and 49,336 for 1932, a differ- 5 ence of only 188. 24 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES COMMISSION During the past year, the International Fisheries Commission continued to perform its duties—the investigation of the life-history of the Pacific halibut and the observation and regulation of the fishery—as provided in the treaty of May, 1930, between Canada and the United States. The investigations added new information regarding the halibut and the fishery essential to successful regulation and proved that regulation has thus far continued to produce beneficial effects on the abundance of fish. The 1933 fishing season was opened on February 1, two weeks later than in 1932. Despite the later opening and voluntary curtailment by part of the United States fishing fleet, the intensity of the fishery was so great that the season terminated earlier than in 1932. The quota for Area 2, which includes the coasts of British Columbia and Southeastern Alaska, was reached and the area closed at Midnight of August 25. Area 3 was closed to fishing on October 26. Contact with Industry.—As in previous years, the commission maintained close contact with all branches of the halibut industry. Both formal and in- formal meetings were held with the Conference Board, composed of representatives from all sections of the fishing fleet. At these, the progress of the commission's investigations were explained, and the economic problems encountered by the fleet were discussed. Of particular interest and importance to the fishing fleets during the past two years have been their efforts to distribute the landings of halibut throughout a greater portion of the year to enable the fishermen to obtain the maximum economic benefit from the fish taken. Voluntary curtailment was tried but proved only partially successful, due to failure of sections of the fleet to agree on a method of curtailment and to co-operate. During the past year the whole industry united in urging the commission to ask for authority to regulate the rate of landings so as to spread the catch over a longer season. The abundance of fish, as indicated by the catch in pounds per unit of fishing, continued to increase during the year. The statistics of abundance show that the catch per unit of gear rose from 50-1 pounds in 1932 to 52-5 pounds in 1933, within Area 2, which includes the waters off the coast of British Columbia. The increase was much less than that occurring in each of the two preceding years, and there is no reason to believe that the catch will increase much more under existing limitations until sufficient • time has elapsed to permit the maturation of a greater number of fish, which will, in turn, increase the production of spawn and of young fish. In making any forecast of abundance it is necessary to take into account changes which have occurred in past years in the relative abundance of the parent stock. The records of the commission show that a great reduction occurred in the spawning stock of Area 2 between 1928 and 1931, as the result of an intense fishery for spawning fish in the spring of each year. It seems only fair to expect in 1934, and for several subsequent years, little or no increase in abundance but that a later renewed productivity will result from the rebuild- ing of the stocks which has been so apparent in 1932 and 1933. The catch per unit of gear in the past year increased in Area 3, lying west of cape Spencer in Alaska, from 82-2 pounds to about 84-6. This also was a much smaller increase than those occurring in the two preceding years. Here, too, the effect of the present degree of restriction seems to be approaching its maximum. Minor fluctuations are expected from year to year, but there is no reason to expect much further increase. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 25 The commission is vitally interested in the abundance of spawners present on the different banks, as an indication both of the condition of the stock on the banks and of the effects produced by regulation. Any permanent improvement in the condition of the stocks must be accompanied by a greater abundance of spawners and of spawning. The investigation of this problem has been the primary object of field work for several years including the past one. The most rapid and economical method of determining the abundance of spawners and the success of spawning upon any bank would be to make a measurement of the abundance of eggs and larvae in the region during the spawning season, by means of net hauls, if such a method were feasible. Using this method, the commission has made a general survey of the distribution of spawners along the coast, proving the abundance of spawning in Area 3 and its paucity in Area 2. A beginning of more exact work, by which any changes in the abundance of spawning on any bank or group of banks may be determined, was made in 1933. The United States halibut schooner Eagle was chartered from the beginning of December to the latter part of March and operated off the coasts of northern British Columbia and Alaska. Operations were designed to determine more exactly the position at which the eggs float in the water and to examine the production of spawn in British Columbia waters, both as to immigration and as to local production. Net hauls were made at numerous appropriate stations and large quantities of plankton taken and preserved for examination in the laboratory. Until all this material is sorted and analyzed, a slow and tedious process, no definite conclusions may be attempted. The results of a preliminary and necessarily cursory field examination of the material taken in the gulf of Alaska suggest that the amount of spawning from year to year may be more variable than was previously believed. In the gulf of Alaska, where in previous years they were taken in large numbers, eggs were comparatively scarce. Actual fishing trials confirmed this by showing that spawners were less abundant than usual. In British Columbia Waters.--Operations in British Columbia waters were conducted during January and during early March. The January hauls were taken at the height of the spawning season when the number of locally produced eggs *ere presumably at their maximum. They form the basis for future comparison of the local production of spawn, and should be repeated from time to time. The late hauls, as in previous -years, were made at a time convenient to study both local and immigrant larve since it was expected the latter would, if present, have by March drifted in from the western grounds. If, however, these hauls confirm the results of previous investigations by showing no young, future hauls at this time will be unnecessary. In view of the expected increase in the abundance of spawners in southern waters as a result of the increase in the abundance of fish it is hoped that a greater number of eggs will be found in the hauls taken in British Columbia waters. A preliminary survey of the January hauls indicates that this may. well be the case but final conclusions must await the sorting and analysis of the later hauls which are more strictly comparable with those of previous years. During vessel operations, experiments were conducted relative to the rate of development of the halibut, information necessary for determination of the bank of origin of eggs and larvœ found drifting passively in the ocean currents. A small portable hatchery was placed on shore at Seward, Alaska, and supplied with eggs twice during the spawning season. These were incubated at the various temperatures to which halibut eggs are subjected in nature. None of the embryos survived to hatching and further development of technique is necessary. They were, however, carried part way, and the results obtained, if not complete, will be of great aid. 26 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES At the laboratory, the analysis of the landings of the fishery and the abundance of fish on the different banks vv-as conducted and the study of such essential biological subjects as rate of growth, age at maturity, fecundity, early life history, distribution of spawning, drift of the pelagic young, and migrations of adults was continued. Market measurements of the halibut landed by the commercial fishery were begun as an aid in determining the changes produced in the stocks of fish by the fishery and by regulation. All phases of the investigation supplied additional knowledge bearing on the need, application, and results of regulation. The commission's progress in the investigation and regulation of the halibut fishery has been very satisfactory. Its investigations have explained the changes which occurred in stocks in the past and those occurring at present, and have provided a proper basis for observation and for action. Its regulations have already markedly increased the stocks on both western and southern grounds, though -those on the latter cannot yet be said to be in a sound condition.

PASSAMAQUODDY COMMISSION The International Passamaquoddy Fisheries Commission, established by Canada and the United States, jointly, to investigate the probable effects which damming of Passamaquoddy and Cobscook bays would have upon the fisheries of that region, completed its work early in the fiscal year and in due course submitted its report to the two go-vernments. The report was based upon data obtained through studies carried on by se,veral highly qualified scientists employed under the commission and in considering the data, as well as in formu- lating the plans for the investigation and observing how they were carried out, the commissioners had the assistance of an honorary Advisory Council made up of two recognized fisheries scientifi.c experts from the United States and two from Canada. The findings of the four comnlissioners—Henry O'Malley and O. E. Sette, representing the United States, and Doctor A. G. Huntsman and the under- signed, representing Canada—are set out in the report as follows:— " The investigators, with the counsel of the Advisory Board, have reported that they anticipate that construction of the proposed dams would practically extinguish the herring fishery inside the clams; that the fishery in the adjacent area outside the dams (Quoddy Area) would be affected to an unknown degree, either adversely or favourably; and that there appears little probability of the dams affecting the fishery along the coast of Maine or e-ven seriously of Grand 1VIanan. During the years 1930 and 1931 the commercial herring catch for Passamaquoddy and Cobscook bays inside the proposed dams formed 2-5 per cent; and areas outside the dams, from St. Mary bay, N.S., to cape Elizabeth, Maine, 97-5 per cent of that for the whole region. " It must be recognized that the results of the investigation do not explain the unusual richness of the herring (sardine) fishery both inside the dams and outside, and without an elucidation of the uniqueness of the area, it cannot be concluded that the projected dams might not so alter the environment as to seriously affect the results of the fishery. Facing a problem in fishery biology unlike any that has heretofore been solved, investigators highly competent in their respective fields, examined many factors suspected of directly influencing the fishery. They have contributed results that greatly increase the under- standing of the present circulation, the production of phyto- and zooplankton, and the nature of the herring concentration in the region. The investigation of forces beyond these, that determine the existence of the fishery, requiring the development of new methods, has not been possible in the limited time available. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 27 " It is well known that marked concentration of the weir fishery for herring (sardine) in the Passamaquoddy region exists and although the herring does [y not spawn in the immediate region, it is generally regarded as an important is nursery ground for the species. As the investigations have not revealed the ie causative factors among the particular phenomena that have been studied in the fields of herring biology, zooplankton, phytoplan]iton, and hydrography, it is clear that other factors, at present unknown, may be responsible for this concentration of young herring. " Without a knowledge of the factors concerned in the concentration, pre- lt diction of the entire effect of the dams on the fishery cannot safely be made. 3S The commission therefore finds that:— re " 1. The weir fisheries for young herring inside the bays, which produce re 2-5 per cent of the total annual catch, would be very greatly reduced by the is, construction of the dams. "2. Without further investigation, which the commission is not in the existing circumstances in a position to conduct, the extent of the effect upon the fisheries outside of the passages to the bay by the Cooper dams cannot be fore- told."

NORTH AMERICAN COUNCIL ON FISHERY INVESTIGATIONS es se The work of the North American Council on Fishery Investigations, which, ta is an international body representative of France, the United States, Newfound- is entirely of a co-ordinating nature, ts land and Canada, since the council admin- u- isters no funds whatever, and is, therefore, unable as a body to carry on any investigations. Co-ordination is accomplished largely through the exchange of le information and the expression of common policy in resolutions at an annual vo meeting. In 1933 the twentieth meeting was held at the Atlantic Biological Station of the Biological Board of Canada, St. Andrews, New Brunswick, on September 13 and 14. The Biological Board through this station earries on the Canadian investigations on the Atlantic coast, which it is attempted to co-ordinate with those of other countries having fishery interests in the northwestern Atlantic. ly The chairman of the council, Dr. H. B. Bigelow, Director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and one of the representatives of the United States, nt presided over the meeting. The United States was also represented by another member, Mr. Elmer- Higgins, of the Bureau of Fisheries, and by three advisers, id including Mr. O. E. Sette, who ha.s charge of the Atlantic fishery investigations or conducted by the Bureau of Fisheries. Dr. Harold Thompson, Director for the er Newfoundland Fishery Research Commission, represented that country. France. h, was unrepresented. Canada was represented by Dr. Wm. A. Found, Deputy Minister of Fisheries, Dr. J. P. McMurrich, Chairman of the Biological Board of Canada, and Dr. A. G. Huntsman, Director of the Atlantic Biological Station, in as well as by a number of advisers, consisting principally of investigators on the id staff of the station. Dr. E. E. Watson attended the meeting as an adviser, representing the investigators of the International Passamaquoddy Commission,, to whose problem has been continuously under review by the council from the ;Y in time it became a matter of international concern. ig The council at times sponsors certain publications, one on the mackerel r- fishery by Mr. O. E. Sette being presented for this purpose to the meeting of n, 1933. Accounts of the proceedings of the council are being published triennially, the next one to cover the period from 1931 to 1933. This council co-operates with the European International Council for the ie Exploration of the Sea, Dr. E. LeDanois, of France, being a member of each 28 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES body, and the latter body giving a standing invitation to its meetings to representatives of the North American Council. Efforts are being made, not only toward concerted action in matters of common concern, but also toward joint publication of data and of summaries of work. The general character of the work reviewed by the North American Council will be evident from the following accounts of certain of the investigations which are in progress:-- Haddock Investigations—The United States, Canada, and Newfoundland are studying various aspects of the fishery and biology of the haddock, of which there is a somewhat common stock on the offshore banks, and also near the coast at certain seasons. Haddock show increasing numbers of vertebrae and of gill rakers going from cape Cod to Halifax, but it is not yet known whether or not this actually means distinct races and stocks of haddock. Those on the Grand bank are found to grow at a rather slower rate than those on the Nova Scotian banks. It has been known for some time that fluctuations in the abundance of our haddock are in part due to failure or exceptional success of breeding in particular years. The 1928 year class has come to predominate over other year classes in the stock on the Grand bank, while the 1929 year class is now the most abundant one on Sable Island bank and on Georges bank. Haddock of this year class were found to cross the deep Fundian channel from Georges to Browns bank in March and April of 1933, which is the first direct evidence of a mass movement across that channel. Cod Investigations.—The United States finds that while cod found in summer off cape Cod migrate southwestward to the New Jersey coast in winter, those on the Maine coast exhibit no well-defined seasonal migration, although a certain proportion emigrate as they grow older, chiefly to Nova Scotian waters. There is some indication that the shore waters of Maine form an important nursery, which furnishes a large part of the offshore stock of adult cod. The ,Canadian work shows that the summer low level in monthly landings of cod from the vicinity of Halifax, which low level does not seem to occur either off Lockeport or off Canso, represents an actual drop in catch per unit of gear. This occurs in the warm upper layer, the cold intermediate layer, and the warm deep layer, although the fish in the upper layer differ from those of the other two layers in having fewer vertebrae, gill rakers and fin rays, which is seemingly indicative of different stocks of fish. Newfoundland has established a definite correlation between the age of cod and the vitamin A content of the liver oil, the younger fish having lighter coloured oil, low in vitamin A content. Accordingly, light-coloured oil is not to be considered as indicating a better oil, and, in fish of the same size, those that have grown slowly, as occurs in more northern waters of the coast, will yield liver oil with higher vitamin A content. Herring Investigations.—Study by Canada has shown that the immature herring of the Passamaquoddy region exhibit rather constant differences in fat- ness, even between places but a few miles apart. These differences are found to be related to the abundance of copepods (" red feed ") and Euphausiids (" shrimp "), and particularly to the extent to which these are near the surface and thus available to the herring at all times. On the other hand, this availability is found related to deep tidal mixing, which concentrates the food organisms as well as bringing them toward the surface from their usual deep water habitat. Inflow of large volumes of fresh water into the sea, as occurs during spring freshets, is found to bring about a concentration of the herring at the places of deep tidal mixing, and weirs suitably located for taking

' REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 29 advantage of this have the reputation of being " spring weirs." The fish seem to be carried to the mixing point in the layer of surface water made light through the addition of fresh water. Hydrological Investigations.—Conditions in the water are seen as primarily responsible for the varying character of the individual fisheries, whether the variations are seasonal, annual, or of longer period, or even of irregular character. These conditions are being studied by the fishery research services of the various countries, and by- international organizations, as well as by private institutions. The International Ice Patrol has collected data for the Grand bank, and for the waters between Labrador and Greenland. Newfoundland follows the changes in the waters off its east and south coasts. The St. Lawrence Biological Station of Laval University is studying the estuary of the St. Lawrence river. The Biological Board of Canada is f ollowing conditions off the outer coast of Nova Scotia from Halifax as a centre. The United States Bureau of Fisheries has been doing special work on Georges and Browns banks. The International Passamaquoddy Fisheries Commission has completed a two years' study of the hydrography of the bay of Fundy and of the adjacent part of the gulf of Maine. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, which has been attempting to determine conditions between Bermuda and the Ameri- can coast, is now studying intensively certain of the conditions in the gulf of Maine. Your obedient servant, WM. A. FOUND, Deputy Minister of Fisheries. APPENDIX No. 1

ANNUAL REPORTS OF CHIEF SUPERVISORS OF ,FISHERIES FOR THE YEAR 1933 No REPORT OF MAJOR D. H. SUTHERLAND, CHIEF SUPERVISOR OF Nev Prim FISHERIES, EASTERN DIVISION Mag The division comprises the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and the Magdalen Islands of Quebec. The value of the fisheries of this area for the year 1933 was $10,266,474 as compared with $10,914,282 for the previous year. Marketing conditions were unfavourable and low prices prevailed throughout the year. The catch, however, was in excess of that of last year, and there were 391,754,600 pounds of fish and shell- Nov fish landed, as compared with a catch of 346,733,600 pounds in 1932. Nen The lobster fishery again proved the mainstay of the inshore fishermen, Prin and the marketed value of the catch far exceeded that of any other fishery. Mag The quantity of lobsters taken, however, was considerably less than that landed during the previous year, and consequently the marketed value suffered a corresponding decline. The total annnal marketed value of all fish landed throughout the division during the past six years was as follows, the term " fish " being used as including shellfish:— Novi 1933 5 10,266,474 New 1932 10,914,306 Prim 1931 13,680,034 Mag( 1930 17,026,070 1929 19,334,431 1928 18,524,697

THE LOBSTER FISHERY The total catch for 1933 was 37,012,100 pounds, having a marketed value of $3,482,424, as compared with a catch of 47,852,100 pounds and $4,704,241 for the previous year. Decreased catches were shown throughout the division, era the province of Nova Scotia showing the heaviest decline. The total pack of ha\ canned lobsters for the year was 120,771 cases as against a pack of 164,981 par cases during 1932. It had a total value of $1,893,066 as compared with si, $2,677,350 for the previous year.

THE COD FISHERY The cod fishery shows an increa.se of 9,789,900 pounds in the catch, $77,438 in the landed value and $197,874 in the marketed value. Increases were general throughout the division. The total catch amounted to 112,255,000 pounds, having a landed value of $1,084,625 and a marketed value of $1,802,026 as compared with a catch last year of 102,465,100 pounds having a landed value of $1,007,187 and a marketed value of $1,604,152.

THE HADDOCK FISHERY There was a decrease in the haddock fishery. The catch for the year waa 26,879,600 pounds, having a landed value of $331,202 and a marketed value of $831,934, as compared with a catch of 36,018,500 pounds for the previous yeail with a landed value of $507,375 and a marketed value of $1,114,802. The catch decrease, which amounted to over 9,000,000 pounds, is accounted for by the smaller landings in Nova Scotia. Landings in New Brunswick showed a slight increase, with a substantial increase in the marketed value.

THE HEFtRING FISHERY The herring fishery showed a considerable increase in the catch as well as in the landed and marketed values. The catch totalled 82,649,600 pounds and 32 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

• it had a landed value of $317,421 and a marketed value of $776,686, as compared with a catch of 67,870.500 pounds, with a landed value of $288,998 and a marketed value of $591.346 'for the previous year. There was quite a marked increase in the catch in 'New Brunswick. Increases were shown in Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island but a decrease in the Magdalen Islands.

THE SALMON FISHERY The catch of salmon was 3,100,500 pounds, having a landed value of $308,194 and a marketed value of $400,604 as against a catch of 2,688,600 pounds, having a landed value of $257,797 and a marketed value of $333,281 for 1932. The usual heavy fall run of salmon was maintained in the Miramichi river and the tributaries. There was a slight increase in catch in Prince Edward Island. THE SMELT FISHERY • There was a considerable decrease in the return from the smelt fishery. The catch for the year amounted to 6,936,700 pounds, with a landed value of $324,514 and a marketed value of $432,518, while in 1932 the catch amounted to 8,877,800 pounds and it had a landed value of $341,552 and a marketed value of $650,530. THE MACKEREL FISHERY There was a very considerable increase in the catch of mackerel in thq division, largely as a result of heavy catches made in Nova Scotia where land-i ings were almost double those of the preceding year. The catch totalled. 26,234,600 pounds, having a landed value of $211,750 and a marketed value of $394,215, while in the preceding year the catch amounted to 17,620,100 pounds, landed value to $159,756 and marketed value to $272,058. Very low prices prevailed for this fish throughout the year and therefore while the catch shows a considerable gain the landed and marketed values do not show corresponding increases. OTHER FISHERIES Increase,s are shown in the landings of sardines, swordfish and scallops. The sardine catch amounted to 26,022,400 pounds, having a landed value of $113,228 and a marketed value of $622,531, while in the year before only 13,347,800 pounds were taken and they had a landed value of $44,340 and a marketed value of $426,399. The catch of swordfish was 1,713,700 pounds., having a landed value of $117,602 and a marketed value of $208,038 as compared with 1,035,900 pounds, with a landed value of $39,432 and a marketed value of $99,585 in the previous year. The bulk of the swordfish landings are made off Cape Breton. A tremendous increase is shown in scallop fares for the year. All told 85,464 gallons (shelled) were taken. Their landed value was $159,958 and the marketed value $160,410. In 1932 there was a catch of 44,384 gallons (shelled) which had a landed value of $69,253 and a marketed value of $73,293. NOVA SCOTIA The amount of fish landed in Nova Scotia durinu 1933 was 215,521,700/ pounds. Its landed value was $3,405,902 and marketd value $6,010,601. The comparative figures for 1932 were 195,713,600 pounds, a landed value of $3,856,- 255, and a marketed value of $6,557,943.

The chief varieties Showing increases are cod, mackerel, herring, halibut, swordfish, scallops, and hake and cusk. The lobster fishery and the haddock, salmon, smelt and pollock fisheries were less successful than in 1932. The lobster catch for the province for the past six years has been as follows:- lbs. 1933 17,685,800 1932 23,773,000 1931 22,364,900 1930 20,820,100 1929 19,003,500 1928 17,240,900

SPORT FISHING Nova Scotia with its numerous lakes, rivers and streams affords excellent sport for the angler which is enjoyed by the residents of the province and numerous visitors or tourists. The waters of the province are free to all and Nova Scotia's fame as a sport fishing country attracts many visitors. The sport fisheries, such • as salmon and trout, constitute a distinct economic asset and attract more and more sportsmen each year. Angling in Cape Breton.-It is gratifying to report that 470 salmon were landed in the Margaree river, Cape Breton, in 1933 as compared with 167 in 1932. This was the best season on the Margaree since 1928, with the exception of 1931 when 484 salmon were taken. Salmon entered the river about June 15. The water was high and dark about that time and the fish continued to ascend until the latter part of the month. It is a remarkable fact that many of the fish did not delay for any length of time in the pools but kept straight on to the , 83480-3 34 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES headwaters. Although the water beca.me low and clear in July and August, the catch was fairly good and there was a large run after the freshet of September 8, which resulted in satisfactory catches being taken from that date until the end of the season. Tourists were fairly well pleased with the fishing and several of them took upwards of 20 salmon during the season. The run of salmon in Little river was larger than in 1932, and the fish started to ascend about the 1st of June and increased in numbers towards the middle of the month. All anglers who visited the upper part of the stream in the latter part of June enjoyed good fishing, and several fish weighing over 25 pounds each were caught. When the streams became low in the latter part of July and August fly fishing ceased for a time, but in September the river rose and there was an average run of fish, a few being taken by anglers. The total number landed during the season was 116, as compared with 62 in 1932. The increased catch was due to the fish having been more plentiful on the coast early in June than was the case in 1932. The total number of salmon landed with the fly in the North river, Victoria county, was 74 as compared with 37 in the previous season. Salmon entered the river about June 3 and the first fish was taken on June 7. Catches were landed almost every week after the first school entered the river. A large run entered in july and as many as 65 salmon were seen in the pool above the falls. A great improvement has been noted in fishing since the blasting of the falls a few years ago; salmon are ascending in much larger numbers and this river consequently is becoming very valuable from a fisheries standpoint. Salmon did not enter Middle river, Victoria county, until the fall freshets and consequently angling conditions were favourable only for a few days. In Grand river, Richmond county, only 19 salmon were landed as compared with 30 in the previous year. The decrease is attributed to low water conditions. Trout fishing in the tidal waters of the Margaree river was poor in May, but good catches were taken at Margaree forks and the Northeast Margaree in June and July, some of the fish weighing four and five pounds. Trout were not so plentiful at the Southwest Margaree as during the 1932 season. The May runs of trout in the tidal waters of Little river, Cheticamp, were not as large as in former years, but in July and August the fish were reported plentiful. The number taken in the river was 173 as compared with 160 in the previous year. There were 779 fish taken in Pleasant Bay streams, an increase of 464 over the number landed in 1932. The increase in the catch is explained by the fact that these streams were visited by a larger number of local and outside anglers than was the case in the previous year. Fairly good trout fishing was had at Indian river, Whycocomagh, during May and June and part of July, and the catches taken in lake Ainslie were much better than for several years. Trout of good size and quality appeared in these waters about June 12 and another large run entered in July. It is eight or ten years since trout have been so plentiful in these waters. Some of the trout that entered lake Ainslie in July were of poor quality, but the run that came in towards the end of the month were fresh from the sea and of good quality and size, and good catches were landed until the end of the season. Th catch of trout in Grand river and loch Lomond was slightly better than in the previous year. Angling for trout in the Mira river, Cape Breton county, showed a marked improvement, the fish taken being, on the average, larger than formerly. Many of them weighed over four pounds. It is thought that the planting of fry in the tributaries of the Mira river over a peroid of years can be given a large measure of credit for the improved angling. Although more trout were taken in Catalone lake than were in 1932, the catch was below the average for the past few years. Cold and unseasonable REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 35 weather during the time when fishing is usually at its best in these waters no doubt accounts for the small catch, as apparently trout had ascended the Twelve Mile river before conditions were favourable for angling in Catalone lake. Fairly good catches were taken in Meadows brook, Indian brook, Gillis brook, Mill brook, Benacadie pond and river and Leitches and Balls creek. Good catches were taken in North Aspy river in the last two weeks in June and July. At Warrens brook good catches were made in May, and satisfactory catches were taken in Clyburn's brook in August. At Ingonish river and Corson's brook there was good fishing during the latter part of June and in July. On the Eastern Mainland.—Angling was fairly good in the eastern section of the mainland until about the middle of July. In Halifax county the trout cfilsul isien f wtrial se sgeoaosduni.n, tIline Gwueys stebiomrua le' eaas t ,b ut rto nuto tfi sahsi uggo omd, a as su 0i tn u1p t 932 the eauswterniu g • section. The western part of Guysboro county had good angling in the streams and lake to about July 15 and good sea trout fishing from August 15 to the • of o normal,in to low water, sea trout being considerably less plentiful than usual. Trout angling in Antigonish county was average in April and May but poor from that date onward. Good angling obtained in Pictou County East, especially in the , lakes stocked by the Fish Culture Branch, which also was the case in Cumber- land county. Angling in Hants and Colchester counties was good during May but less satisfactory in June. There was good bass fishing in Grand lake. Generally in Hants county, the low water condition was unfavourable to angling. Salmon angling in Halifax county was, on the whole, much the same as in 1932. In Halifax west the number of fish taken was only eighty-five, compared with 150 in 1932, but in Halifax east 600 were taken, as compared with 500 for the year previous. The best salmon angling was obtained in Ingraham, Osier and Nine Mile rivers in Halifax west and in Musquodoboit river, Tangier, Ship Harbour, Sheet Harbour rivers, Quoddy and Moser rivers in Halifax east. In Guysboro county west salmon angling was not so good as in 1932. The catch by rivers in each of several recent seasons was:—

— 1933 1932 1931 1930 1929

St. Marys river 127 104 305 245 Gaspereaux brook 12 8 15 22 Eeum Secum river 32 35 75 75 Country Harbour river 3 5 21 16 Liseomb river 14 15 18 Totals 188 267 434 358 614

The decrease in catch, as compared with 1929 landiniy.s, does not appear to be due to scarcity as large numbers of salmon could be seen in the rivers but would not take the fly. In Guysboro east twenty salmon were taken by angling, compared with twelve in 1932, the largest being nineteen pounds. These fish were all taken in Cole Harbour waters. About seventy-five salmon were taken by fly fishing in river Philip and Wallace river, Cumberland county. The speckled trout fry planted in Harts lake, Cumberland county, has resulted in making very good angling there, and in the lakes and streams stocked there is a decided improvement generally. Rainbow trout plantings in Grants lake have been successful to the extent that it is proposed to allow fishing there in 1934.

83480-35 36 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Mention should be made of the establishment of rearing ponds at Waverley, Halifax county, by the Nova Scotia Fish and Game Protective Association. These ponds, at the head of Grand lake, are for the purpose of retaining sport fish fry until they attain a size which will insure that a larger percentage. of them will survive and mature than would be the case if the smaller size were used for stocking. The project has been financed by public subscription supplemented by a grant from the Provincial Government. Some technical advice and assistance was given the association by the department. Nine ponds have been constructed, each 90 feet long, with the necessary caretaker's buildings, ice- houses, etc. The water supply is nbtained from a dam constructed on Waverley brook, and when necessary, a further supply is available from Rawdon river. It is understood that it is proposed to construct a further number of retaining ponds at this place when money is available. On, the Western Mainland.—In the western section of the province the anglers for salmon were not as fortunate as in some previous years. However, it appears that trout fishing improved and good catches were made.

FISHERY PATROL SERVICE - In addition to a number of small boats owned by various inspectors, four regular patrol boats were employed during the year in connection with the protection and supervision of the fisheries. The Thresher was in commission throughout the year, except for a short period covering the annual overhaul of her engine. She patrolled 8,927 miles. The district covered extended from the lobster boundary line at river Philip, Cumberland county, to Shelburne county. The service rendered by this boat in protection work was very satisfactory indeed and her work was instrumental in keeping down illegal fishing. The Mildred McColl was commissioned on April 19 and was on duty until November 11, when she was laid up at Pictou. The McColl did patrol work in Northumberland strait, off northern New Brunswick, and in Prince Edward Island areas. A total of 3,833 miles was patrolled during the period of operation. - - The Capelin patrolled the waters of the bay of Fundy throughout the year. Her services were very satisfactory and it is believed her work was instrumental in preventing illegal fishing in the area covered by her, extending from Pubnico to the headwaters of the bay. _ The A. Halkett left Halifax on April 12, patrolling westward and making headquarters at Shelburne where she was engaged until June 6. Later, she proceeded to -carry on scallop investigation work in the waters of Prince Edward Island and Richmond county, Cape Breton. At the end of August the boat was sent to carry on similar investigation in the vicinity of Grand Manan, N.B., afterwards reutrning to Nova Scotia waters to carry on regular patrol.

FISIIERY PROTECTION SERVICE C.G.S. Arras and C.G.S. Arleux, the former under the command of Captain Clement Barkhouse and the latter commanded by Captain H. P. Cousins, were engaged throughout the year in fisheries protection work. _During January, February and the greater part of March the Arras was eMployed in soul hwestern Nova Scotia in lobster protection work, breaking ice in harbours for the relief of fishermen, and patrolling. From March 21 to May 5 the vessel was laid up at Liverpool, undergoing ammal overhaul, protection work being resumed upon repairs being completed. On June 12 she proceeded to the Grand Banks with the Nova Scotia fishing fleet, and returned early in September. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 37 The captain reports: " We had more sickness this last season than usual. The water was very cold on the banks, which the doctor says caused so much illness. Th' sudden change from our home waters upset the crews. We had 364 men for treatment, who were given. treatment 687 times, and also six men for hospital treatment."

-While the ship was on the banks weather, bait and ice conditions were broadcast twice daily to vessels of the fleet. On her return from the banks at mid-August the Arras was engaged in general fisheries protection work. The ship steamed 11,716 miles and spent 187 days at sea. The Arleux during the first two weeks in January was engaged as a " mother " ship to the winter haddock fishing fleet at Canso, Petit de Grat and vicinity and on January 16 patrolled the coast to Halifax. The ship was laid lup for annual overhaul at Lunenburg from January 23 to March 13. On . completion of overhaul the vessel took up protective work in southwestern Nova Scotia waters. From April 29 until May 9 the ship was engaged in protective work in Northumberland strait, and then returned to western Nova Scotia. From then on her time was divided between patrolling the waters of western Nova Scotia, in-cluding the bay of Fundy, and Northumberland strait and work in connection with the swordfishing fleet in the vicinity of Louisburg and Scatarie. She was again engaged from November 25 to December 31 as a " mother " ship to the haddock fishing fleets of Canso and Petit de Grat. During the year the Arleux rendered assistance to fishing vessels and boats and assisted navigation by keeping the harbours open during the winter months. The ship steamed 9,358 miles and spent 136 days at sea. In addition, the auxiliary motor boat belonging to the ship was engaged in inshore patrol work and covered 530 miles. BAIT AND ICE REPORTING SERVICE The daily fisheries broadcast service was resumed on April 1 and continued until November 25. By means of this service the fishing fleet and others interested in the fishing industry were kept informed with regard to bait and ice conditions, etc. The service is of great value, particularly to the fleet operating on the Grand Banks. The information was collected from all parts of Nova Scotia and the Magdalen Islands by telegraph and telephone by the Halifax office of the department, and broadcast twice daily from the Louisburg Marconi Station and the Halifax Lightship. The C.G.S. Arras, which is equipped with a wireless transmitter, also furnished the fleet on the banks with information as to bait and ice conditions, etc. THE LUNENBITRG FLEET In 1911 the Lunenburg fleet of 122 vessels landed 216,000 quintals of salt fish, an average of 1,774 quintals per vessel. In 1926, fifteen years later, 92 vessels landed 342,730 quintals, an average of 3,725 quintals per vessel. This was the peak and the catch was valued over $2,000,000. From 1928 the results by years, have been as follows:—

Average — Vessels Quintals per vessel

On the " spring " trip 24 vessels landed 23,300 quintals and on the," summer " trip 26 vessels landed 49,350 quintals. One vessel, the Douglas Mosher, was lost on the Newfoundland coast during the year's operations.

LOBSTER TRANSPORTATION SERVICE The subsidized service arranged by the department in 1930 to carry shipments of live lobsters from Eastern Nova Scotia points to Boston and Glou- cester, Mass., was again operated in 1933. During the year 11,690 crates were carried by the boats engaged in this service, while in 1932 the shipments amounted to 11,601 crates.

NoTE.—Lobsters landed at Arichat, Petit de Grat and St. Peters from Northern Cape Breton points on independent collection service and then carried forward to Massachusetts on the boats operating under the departmental arrangement, are included in this statement.

The service was well patronized and gave further proof of its usefulness to the fishermen.

PROSECTJTIONS During the year there were fifty-one prosecutions for violation of the fishery regulations. Seven took place in District No. 1, twenty-four in District No. 2 and twenty in District No. 3.

CONFISCATIONS During the year 228 confiscations were made—thirteen in District No. 1, ninety-six in District No. 2 and one hundred and nineteen in District No. 3.

NEW BRUNSWICK There was an increase in the landings of fish in New Brunswick during the year. The total quantity landed was 129,995,200 pounds having a landed value of $1,618,842 and a marketed value of $3,061,152 as compared with a catch of 101,754,900 pounds, a landed value of $1,505,203 and a marketed value of $2,972,682 in 1932. Increased catches were made in the sardine, herring, salmon, cod, alewife, hake, haddock and scallop fisheries. The chief commercial catches during the year with their respective marketed and landed values were as follows:— . REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 39

There was a sharp decrease in the catch of lobsters in the bay of Fundy waters of the province, and decreased catches were also made on the North shore. On the other hand, the returns from the important sardine fishery were much better than they had been in 1932. As the figures show, the catch in- ES 31' creased by almost 100 per cent and value totals rose substantially. The herring, hake, and salmon fisheries were also much more productive than in the preceding year. The hake catch more than doubled. The gain in herring landings could have been made even greater than it was, had market conditions been 3 more favourable, as during the spring there was a tremendous run of these fish on the North shore. As is seen from the table, New Brunswick's cod fishery was also somewhat more successful than it had been in 1932. The cod gainsç, were made in spite of a decrease in the landings from the bay of Fundy areas. The betterment in the scallop fishery returns was a feature of the year. a The catch reached record figures-23,964 gallons, shelled as against only 5,410 gallons in the year before--with marketed value showing an increase of more than $34,000. The oyster fishermen, however, did not do so well as in 1932, so far as size of catch was concerned, but improved prices prevented any very substantial decrease in value returns. Another of the fisheries of the province to show less satisfactory results than in the preceding year was the smelt fishery. Inland District.-There was a substantial decrease in the commercial catch in the inland district of the province, and a decrease in marketed value. The year's catch was 4,682 hundredweights, with a marketed value of $27,702, while in 1932 the catéh was 6,595 hundredweights and its value on the market was $36,750. SPORT FISHING The Restigouche and its waters still hold first place among the angling waters in the province, about 3,000 salmon being taken there in three months of 1933, mostly by non-resident anglers. The Nepisiquit also had a good year with approximately 400 salmon being taken but this river furnished much better grilse fishing. Only ten non-residents were reported fishing on the Nepisiquit. 40 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES In Northumberland county angling for spent salmon in the spring by special permit was carried on quite extensively for the first time on the Tabusintac' river. In other waters of the district trout fishing is the main sport fishery, but fishing was not as successful as in 1932. In the inland district there was an increase in the angling catch. More ] anglers were on the rivers, lakes and streams than in the previous year. 1;. PATROL BOAT SERVICE 2 The usual patrol services, maintained by the Phalarope and Gannet Rock, were caried on during the year. In addition to fishery patrol duties both of these boats, when called upon to do so, convey sick persons from both Grand Manan and Campobello to St. Stephen for treatment. The lkEldred C. and the Ethel M. again performed very valuable services, both in connection with the enforcement of the size limit for lobsters during the open season, as well as in preventing illegal fishing during the close season. In the eastern section of the province five chartered boats were used in patrol work, two of which were later called for service elsewhere in the division, while the two division boats the Mildred McColl and the Arras operated for a time. The vigilance of the crews of these boats, co-operating with inspectors and guardians on the shore, kept close check on illegal fishing during probably the most trying year in recent times. It is gratifying to note that the work of the crews of the boats has the approval of the large majority of the fishermen and the people generally. PROSECUTIONS There were 94 prosecutions for violation of the fishery regulations during the year. Eight took place in District No. 1, 51 in District No. 2, and 35 in District No. 3. CONFISCATIONS During the year 453 confiscations were made-38 in District No. 1, 321 in District No. 2 and 94 in District No. 3.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND The total Prince Edward Island catch for the year was 22,347,300 pounds with a landed value of 8519,165 and a marketed value of $842,315. In 1932 the catch amounted to 23,736,800 pounds, having a landed value of $713,552 and a marketed value of $988,919. The following table shows the chief commercial varieties taken, with the landed and marketed values of the catches:—

COD As the table shows, there was an increase of 835 hundredweights in catch land in the marketed value a gain of $12,616. Fish were plentiful, but the prices offered the fishermen were extremely low and, as a result, there was little effort made on the part of the fishermen to engage intensively in this fishery.

HADDOCK There was a decrease of 160 hundredweights in haddock landings and a decrease in the marketed value of $1,085. Haddock are always in good demand locally and the total catch was disposed of fresh.

HAKE Hake were very plentiful during the greater part of the season between« iNliminegash and cape Bear, but as there was no outside demand for them, only a sufficient quantity was taken for local consumption. Total catch increased by 1,266 hundredweights and marketed value by $456.

L HERRING There was an increase in the herring catch of 5,174 hundredweights but a decrease in the marketed value of $4,394. The spring catch was absorbed as lobster bait and fox food. Some 600 barrels of fat fall herring were caught and were disposed of locally at fair prices.

MACKEREL There was very little outside denriand for mackerel. With the exception of 1200 barrels of fat fall fish which were exported to the United States, the total catch was absorbed by local markets. The fall fish were caught in Northern ings county. smEurs Smelt catch decreased by 1,114 hundredweights, and marketed value by $5,570. Two-thirds of the total catch was taken in the Hillsboro river and its tributaries. Smelts were scarce in Prince and Kings counties throughout the season. The frozen smelts were graded to meet the requirements of the Boston and New York markets, and as a result fairly good prices were obtained.

LOBSITRS The season opened about fifteen days later than in 1932 on account of prevailing ice conditions . To this fact, and unfavourable weather conditions which prevailed during the remainder of the month of May, may be attributed 42 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES the decrease of 23,023 hundredweights in the catch. Another factor contributing to the decrease was the difficulty in obtaining sufficient bait before the end of May. The catch in the late season district, vv-hich opened on August 16 and closed on October 15, also shows a considerable decrease as compared with the catch of 1932. OYS'PERS The entire oyster catch which increased by 1,540 hundredweights was disposed of at fair prices, and ma.rketed value increased by $13,102. If winter conditions had not prevailed during the month of November, the catch would haie been much greater than it was. All oysters exported from this province' were inspected by an inspecting officer and it would appear, from reports received from the wholesale buyers in Montreal' and other marketing centres that the quality of the oysters was superior to that of any previously shipped. A quantity of oysters was shipped to Quebec, Montreal and Toronto from private beds in Richmond bay and fancy prices were received for them. It will be but a matter of a few years when the shipments from Richmond bay will be greatly increased as the lessees of oyster grounds are developing their areas very rapidly, and it is expected that many of these lessees will be shiping next fall. Oysters will also be shipped next fall from the leased areas in Savage harbour and Cove- head. East and West rivers and their tributaries, and Vernon, Seal .and Orwell rivers are well stocked with small oysters and no doubt will yield the usual catch during the coming season. SPORT FISHING In Kings county a marked increase was reported in the catch of trout. In Southern Kings and Queens counties trout fishing was good throughout the season. In Northern Queens fishing was reported better than in 1932 and increa.sed catches were made in the following streams: New Glasgow, Gran- ville, Wheatley, Winter, Point de Roche pond and Wisner's dam. Fishing in West Prince was fully as good as in other years while reports from East Prince indicate fairly good trout fishing. Rainbow trout fishing in O'Keefe's lake was a disappointment, but there was excellent fishing in Glenfinnan lake throughout the season. Although Afton lake was stocked with rainbow fry some years ago, no trout have been caught in this lake up to the present. PATROL BOAT SERVICE Six patrol boats were engaged during the season to prevent illegal lobster fishing—two in West Prince, one in East Prince, two in Queens county, and one in Kings county. The C.G.S. Arras, after her return from the banks, rendered patrol assistance during the fall" lob‘ster fishing season. Due to the efficient work of the boats employed, illegal lobster fishing was kept down to a minimum. PROSECUTIONS There were thirty-six prosecutions during the year. CONFISCATIONS Ninety-two confiscations were made during the year. THE MAGDALEN ISLANDS The total catch in the Magdalen Islands in 1933 was 23,890,400 pounds with a landed value of $253,407 and a marketed value of $352,406, as compared with 25,528,300 pounds, a landed value of $237,197, and a marketed value of 14,290 in 1932.

COD Cod were plentiful on all parts of the coast during the entire season. The catch increase was 21,846 hundredweights. Marketed value increased by nearly $11,900. HERRING Herring, always the first fish to make their appearance around the coast e of the Magdalen Islands, are used principally for lobster bait and for smoking ! purposes, but as the prices offered for smoked herring were very low, only two t smoke houses operated in 1933. It is expected, however, that there will be a much larger quantity smoked during the season of 1934. The 1933 catch and value were less than in 1932, as the table shows.

MACKEREL There was a decrease in the mackerel catch of 10,818 hundredveeights, and a decrease in the marketed value of $13,785. It was very difficult to dispose of these fish and the fishermen, veho had to be content with very low prices, scarcely paid overhead expenses.

SMELTS Smelt catch. decreased by 248 hundredweights and marketed value by $1,240. Smelts caught in the Magdalen Islands run large and usually command a fair price.

CLAMS There was a decrease of 8,346 hmidredweights in the clam catch and a decrease in the marketed value of $4,404. Clams were used principally as codfish bait. DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES THE DIVISION GENERALLY ILLEGAL FISHING Due to the efforts of the permanent officers, in co-operation with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and others, illegal fishing was generally kept at a minimum. A number of honorary guardians were appointed by the department and their work was effective. Provincial game wardens also assisted in the suppression of poachers. Unemployment conditions, of course, tended to pro- mote illegal fishing but by the efforts of the officers of the department and others rendering assistance, infringement of the regulations was kept in check. INSPECTION OF CANNERIES AND CANNED FISH The lobster canneries and other processing establishments were inspected by the officers of the department. In cases where the canneries did not come up to the standard they were advised that they would not be allowed to operate. There wa.s a marked improvement with regard to sanitary and equipment conditions. Due to educational work that has been carried on during the past few years, resulting in close co-operation between the canners and the officers of the department, there was a general improvement in the output, INSPECTION OF PICKLED FISH CONTAINERS, FISH CURING ESTABLISHMENTS AND EDUCATIONAL WORK Under the capable divisional direction of Supervisor R. Gray, inspection work was carried on throughout the year. From June 12, 1914, until May 31, 1933, systems of inspection of pickled fish containers, pickled alewives, pickled mackerel, pickled herring, hard cured smoked round herring, oysters, fish curing premises and curing utensils were conducted which set those interested think- ing, with the result that compulsory inspection was requested and put into force on June 1 last. Prior to that date local conferences of supervisors and inspectors were held at Newcastle, N.B.,1Charlottetown, P.E.I., Digby, Truro and Sydney, N.S., at which the changes in the regulations made under the Fish Inspection Act were explained. Stencils and other equipment, for use in connection with inspection work, were issued and demonstrations given as to their proper use. Before 1933, January to the end of May was considered an "off" season as far as the inspection of containers and fish was concerned but during that period of 1933, 395 visits were made for educational purposes. Three hundred and fifty-four fish curing premises and the utensils used in connection therewith, were inspected as to cleanliness and 4,161 empty pickled fish containers, 1,861 barrels of alewives, 227 barrels, 10 half-barrels and 5 pails of herring, 717 barrels, 1 half-barrel and 7 pails- of mackerel, 80,575 18-lb. boxes and 1,400 2-1b. boxes of hard cured smoked round herring and 522 barrels of oysters were inspected during those months. From the 1st of ,Tune until the 31st of December, 1,639 educational visits were made and 2,088 fish-curing premises, 67,950 empty containers, 5,718 barrels of alewives; 58,314 barrels, 181 half-barrels and 56 pails of mackerel; 16,079 barrels, 6,262 half-barrels and 704 pails of herring; 137,009 18-pound boxes of hard cured smoked round herring; 9,665 barrels and 1,460 boxes of oysters were inspected. In the year, as a whole, the packages inspected included 72,111 empty containers, 7,579 barrels of alewives, 59,031 barrels, 182 half-barrels and 63 pails of mackerel, 16,306 barrels, 6,072 half-barrels and 709 pails of herring, 219,584 18-1b. boxes and 1,400 2-1b. boxes of hard cured smoked round herring, 10,217 barrels and 1,460 boxes of oysters, or a total of 394,714 packages, while 4,476 visits for educational purposes and inspections as to cleanliness were made. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 45 Owing to an abnormal run of small mackerel this spring, it was found necessary to create a grade for fish of this type and at a meeting of the fish trade held in Halifax on July 13 it was decided to ask the department to allow those small fish to be -known as " Small Medium" counting from 226 to 300 to a barrel of 200 pounds. This was agreed to. MARKETING CONDITIONS Marketing conditions were very difficult throughout the year and demand was slack. Prices generally were low. The spring price for canned lobsters was low but advanced later on in the season. The price received for pickled herring was almost below the cost of production and there was little demand for " tropical " fish. UNITED MARITIME FISHERMEN The United Maritime Fishermen, which is mainly concerned with the affairs of the shore fishermen of the Maritime Provinces and the Magdalen Islands, rounded out its fifth year of activity with an annual convention at Moncton, N.B. during the latter part of October, all former conventions having been held at Halifax. In addition to the Executive Committee there were in attendance directors from the twelve zones into which the territory covered is divided and a large number of delegates representing active locals of the association in many parts .of the Maritimes. Reports presented went to show that the different activities entered into had been well maintained. A number of regional conventions were called during the year to discuss matters of local as well as of general interest. A healthy increase in the number of co-operative lobster canneries, which offer unusual opportunity for group effort, and their successful operation, would seem to justify amply the policy of the United Maritime Fishermen in pro- moting such enterprises. The promotion of co-operation canneries, however, is but one of the numerous phases of activity undertaken. Considerable attention is being directed towards the co-operative production and marketing of salt fish and other finished fish products. In marketing live lobsters the U.M.F. local groups have been able to conduct their operations in such a manner as to benefit to a much greater extent than would ever have been possible under former individualistic methods. Co-operative buying of cannery supplies, rope, twine, lines and other itenis of fishing equipment in large quantities by U.M.F. groups has resulted in numerous savings, and, it is understood, will continue to be one of the most important features of the association's activities. The Central Office, located at Halifax, houses the records of the association and renders valuable service to local groups in connection with producing and marketing. It also publishes a monthly paper, which has a circulation of 5,000 copies and has been increased in size from time to time to meet the demands made upon it for advertising space by leading manufacturers, distributors of fishing supplies and marketing agencies. It is gratifying to know that it is the policy of the United Maritime Fisher- men to lend its support to all proper steps for the regulation and conservation of the valuable fisheries in which its members engage and to encourage its members to -take advantage of such instructional facilities as are offered by the department from time to time through the different mediums under its control. The 1935 convention of the association will be held in Charlottetown, P.E.I. LOSS OF LIFE During the year seven fishermen in the division lost their lives while per- forming their duties, three in Nova Scotia and four in New Brunswick.

46 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

ANNUAL REPORT OF CHIEF SUPERVISOR OF FISHERIES (MAJOR J. A. MOTHERWELL) WESTERN DIVISION (BRITISH COLUMBIA) FOR 1933 Due to more favourable market conditions the intensity of salmon fishing and the incentive to put up large packs was increased materially during the year under review. The carry-over from the previous seasons had been fairly well cleared up and the indications at the first of the year appeared to point to a better demand for most varieties. The total pack of all varieties for the whole province amounted to 1,265,072 cases, compared with a total of 1,081,031 cases for the preceding year, 685,104 cases for 1931, and 2,221,783 cases in 1930. Such comparisons are alwa-ys somewhat misleading, due to the fact that packs depend largely on the market conditions, which, in turn, fluctuate from year to year. For instance, in the case of chum salmon, in 1931 the total pack was only 55,977 cases, compared with an average during recent years of well over 400,000 cases. In the case of pinks, the pack in the same year amounted to only 206,995 cases, compared with 477,969 cases in the brood year. The reduction in the total salmon pack for 1931 was practically all due to the lack of demand for these two varieties specially mentioned. The following statement shows the average total pack of all varieties of salmon canned in British Columbia covering the past fifteen years, arranged in five-year groups:— 1919-1923 1,163,265 cases 1924-1928 1,785,882 " 1929-1933 1,330,743 "

SOCKEYE The most valuable variety of salmon is the sockeye, for which a ready market is always available, providing it has been well packed. The total pack for the calendar year 1933 was 258,107 cases, compared with a total of 281,306 cases for 1929. The following statement covering the period of the past fifteen years gives the average pack arranged in five-year groups:— 1919-1923 303,805 cases 1924-1928 322,162 " 1929-1933 318,582 " In the southern part of the province the life cycle of the sockeye differs somewhat from that of the northern runs. For instance, in the Fraser river, the streams on the west coast of Vancouver island, the Nimpkish river and other sockeye areas south of Queen Charlotte sound, the returning parent fish are practically all four years old, although there are some few individuals three, five and even six years of age on their return to the spawning grounds. The farther north, however, the greater the percentage of the older fish and for this reason it is difficult to compare from year to year, or even in year groups, the runs to any particular section. In one year, for instance, the percentage of five-year old fish in the Skeena would be greater than the four-year olds and in other years the reverse would be the case. This applies in a number of the northern areas. Naas River—The total of sockeye salmon caught in this area produced 10.173 cases, compared with 16,347 cases in 1929 and 5,558 cases in 1928, the fish in this area being predominantly four and five years of age. Whilst the runs to the Naas have heretofore been more or less of an un- certain factor, it is felt that this has been largely due to the variation in the intensity of operation of fishing gear in the way of traps in the area north of the REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 47 international boundary as it has been proven that some portions at least of the run of sockeye to the Naas pass through this northern fishing area. With the recent curtailment of traps in the waters above mentioned, together with the reasonably satisfactory spawning reports, there is some justification for expecting that the run of sockeye to the Naas will be at least well maintained in future. Skeena River.—The pack in this area amounted to only 27,693 cases, compared with 77,714 cases in 1929 and 34,524 cases in 1928, four and five-year fish predominating in this area also. Undoubtedly some unusual action will be necessary to preserve the run and the proper attention will be given to this matter in the recurring cycle years. It was hoped that with the lowering of the upper boundary on the river recently some improvement would be observed in the returns but this year's pack gives no encouragement. - Undoubtedly the weather conditions, unusually difficult even for the Skeena river, and the fact that the fishermen did not commence to operate until later than usual, resulted in a better escapement to the spawning grounds than might have been expected from the quantity caught. In the way of conservation measures, the deferring of the opening date for fishing or the advancing of the closing time would not bring the desired effect since the heart of the run would receive no additional protection. The increasing of the weekly closed period is a more desirable method in view of the fact that a reasonable percentage of each tribe would be permitted to escape upstream but from the standpoint of the industry the longer idle periods each week, as a result of the increased closed time, would preclude profitable operations. There seems to be no doubt but that in the years 1937 and 1938 some unusual measures will require to be adopted with a view to taking care of the situation and it is quite probable that what fishing is permitted in those years will be confined to areas well outside the river. Rivers Inlet and Smiths Iniet.—The total pack of sockeye resulting from catches at these areas amounted to 119,548 cases, compared with 79,548 cases in 1929 and 93,361 cases in 1928. The situation in these two inlets is most satisfactory for, notwithstanding the large catch, there was an abundant supply left for the spawning grounds. Fraser River.—The total pack of sockeye caught in the Fraser River district amounted to 43,745 cases, compared with 54,717 cases in the brood year of 1929. Probably a more informative comparison would be by the use of the total packs of sockeye from the runs proceeding to the Fraser river, which includes the catches of the traps on the southwest coast of Vancouver island and the fishing gear on the United States side of the international boundary. These figures show a total pack for 1933 of 178,204 cases, compared with 175,743 cases for the brood year of 1929, the Fraser run being composed mainly of four- year fish. The year 1933 is the cycle of what was at one time a very large run of sockeye to the Fraser river. Each cycle year, of course, the industry rather expects that the run may have produced an increased quantity of the excellent variety which established the reputation of British Columbia salmon in the world markets. There have been indications from time to time which have given some cause for hope that the up-river portion of the run, which is the most valuable, was increasing but it is difficult to arrive at a definite conclusion, although in the Chilcotin district conditions have been decidedly encouraging. There was no late run of sockeye to the Fraser area during the year such as was experienced in the cycles of 1930 and 1931.

SPRINGS, BLIIEBACIKS AND srEELHEAns Whilst there is considerable fluctuation in the packs of these varieties, compared with other years, yet, as previously stated, the pack is no indication of the quantity taken since these varieties, apart from the bluebacks, are mostly' processed by other methods than canning.

COHOES The total coho pack of 137,289 cases is a fairly satisfactory one and probably could have been increased if the incentive had been greater. This is one variety for which the market demand has lagged somewhat. The supply along the coast, generally speaking, was unusually good during the year. The following statement covering a period of the past fifteen years gives the average pack in five-year groups:— 1919-1923 121,964 cases 1924-1928 155,746 " 1929-1933 139,478 "

PINKS Due to the unusual demand created by the allotment to Canada by the French authorities of a quota for canned salmon, increased efforts were made to pack both pinks and chums. The total pack for the year of 532,558 cases of pinks compared with 206,995 cases for the brood year. This comparison, however, is hardly a fair one in view of the failure of the pink run at one particular point in the north in the 1931 season and the la& of demand during the two years preceding that under review. The following statement shows the average pink packs for the past fourteen years arranged in two-year groups:— 1920-1921 356,881 cases 1922-1923 511,455 " 1924-1925 551,480 " 1926-1927 510,305 " 1928-1929 635,165 " 1939-1931 659,466 " 1932-1933 378,137 "

CHUMS The pack of 293,630 cases this year compares with 306,761 cases for the preceding year, 55,997 cases in 1931 and 401,114 cases in 1930. In connection with the figures for 1931, however, it is to be, remembered that there was little demand in that season for canned chums, and that led to a small pack. The chums are a late-running variety of salmon and arrive, usually, when the rainy season .has commenced. The year under review has been an unusually rainy one and on the arrival of the chums the streams were in flood condition and the fish passed up quickly and in small numbers instead of schooling about the mouths as usual waiting for water conditions to be suitable. The following statement shows the average packs for the past fifteen years arranged in five-,Tear groups:—

1919-1923 240,866 cases 1924-1928 661,145 " 1929-1933 296,496 "

FREEZING OF SAI2vION A feature of the salmon industry in this province during the year was the extension of the freezing of salmon. Cold storage facilities at Vancouver, New Westminster, Victoria, l3utedale and Prince Rupert were utilized and consider- REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 49 able quantities were sexported to European and Oriental markets. Indications would appear to justif -y the expectation that this business will be increasing in future. The principal -varieties used are the springs, steelhead, cohoes and chums. Some pinks are also used.

SALMON—STRIKE OF FISHERMEN Production by means of salmon trolling was curtailed somewhat, due to a strike of the fishermen operating off the west coast of Vancouver island. The United States fishermen who troll in considerable numbers off the coast of Washington and British Columbia,' were not satisfied with the prices they were obtaining from the Seattle buyers and refused to fish. In sympathy with these people the Canadian operators on the west coast of Vancouver island also remained in port from May 8 to June 16, when satisfactory marketing arrangements were complet ed.

SALMON EXPORTS Whilst the following figures showing the exports of canned salmon from the port of Vancouver since 1921 do not represent the total shipment from British Columbia, yet the figures will be found of considerable interest. The increase in 1933 exports is largely due, of course, to the French quota, which permitted the export of an unusually large quantity- of canned fall salmon to the French market. Year Total Exports Year Total Zrports 1921 939,823 cases 1927 1,322,597 cases 1922 794,344 " 1928 1,344,868 " 1923 929,289 " 1929 1,331,204 " 1924 1,525,542 " 1930 1,021,640 " 1925 1,571,004 " 1931 979,787 " 1926 1,254,304 " 1932 944,806 " 1933 1,134,689 cases

SALMON—QUALITY In view of the intensely keen competition in foreign markets for canned salmon the question of quality has become of paramount importance; as a matter of fact, intimation was received to the effect that if Canadian canned salmon was to receive the requested preference in the British markets it would be necessary that steps be taken to maintain a high standard of quality. Among other measures adopted in 1933 for the purpose of raising and maintaining the quality, salmon purse seining was permitted for the first time in that Portion of the gulf of Georgia which lies between the Fraser river and the international boundary on the south. In each odd-numbered year there is a very large run of pink salmon to the Fraser river and the streams in that vicinity. These salmon on their way to the Canadian waters pass through those of Puget sound and run the gauntlet of hundreds of salmon traps and salmon purse seines before passing across the 1.7 boundary into Canadian territory. During their passage through the waters to the south of the international boundary these salmon are in prime condition, but, unfortunately, after they arrive in Canadian waters they play about in the fresh and brackish water off the mouth of the Fraser river for weeks and they become more and more unsuitable for canning purposes. When they finally decide to pass into the river their condition is such as to result in a canned product which is far from being a credit to Canadian packers. It is estimated that approximately seventy-five per cent of the catches of pink salmon running to the Fraser district is made by the operators to the south of the international bound.ary when the fish are in good condition but the Canadian operators, previous to the allowing of purse seines in the lower part of the gulf of Georgia, were enabled to take only the remaining twenty-five 83480-4 50 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES per cent of the total catch and the majority of these were really of inferior quality for canning so that what should have been a very profitable run of salmon from the standpoint of the Canadian fishermen has been of little or no value to Canada whereas, on the contrary, this run has been a very valuable one to the operators of another country although the fish were hatched on the spawning grounds of Canadian streams. It is interesting to note that for the year under review there were packed in the United States from Puget Sound waters 543,340 cases of pink salmon, practically all of which were taken from the runs proceeding to Canadian waters. The pack of the same variety by Canadian operators in the Fraser River district amounted to only 96,394 cases. Whilst the total quantity of pink salmon packed in the Fraser district amounted to 143,058 cases, there were 46,664 cases brought in from other districts, which left the above mentioned total (96,394 cases) of canned pink-s taken from the runs from which the operators to the south of the international boundary were able to obtain over one-half million cases in good condition. Of the 96,394 cases of canned Fraser River district pinks, 43,390 cases were captured by means of gill-nets. After examination by the Canned Salmon Inspection Board 11,652 cases of gill-net-caught pinks were classified as Grade 2 and not entitled to the usual quality certificate whereas only 211 cases of seine-caught fish were so classified, the others being all graded as entitled to a first class certificate. The following extracts from a communication received from the Canned Salmon Inspection Board regarding this year's pack of pink salmon in the Fraser River district will be found of interest:— " The opening of waters off the Fraser to seining would appear to have led to a much improved quality in respect to a large portion of the pack at Fraser River canneries and canneries in the Vancouver area packing so-called Fraser River pinks. The individual experience of each rnember of the board, over a long period of years, has been that the great bulk of the Fraser pink pack has been of such a character that under the inspection now in force it would have to be classed as second quality for lack of firmness. It was only the very eady portion of the pack that would haye been approved. This season it has been evident that a large part of the catch came from outside waters, having firmness and colour never evident in pinks gill-netted in the fresh water of the river The pack of Fraser pinks in 1929, which was the last year when they were packed in quantity, consisted of 161,529 cases. The result of the packing of that fish was a demoralization of the market and a loss of prestige for British Columbia pink salmon, one of the results being that in 1931, which was the next cycle year when pinks came into the Fraser, there were packed only 20,000. If the pack of 1929, consisting of 161,529 cases, had been submitted to the inspection system now in vogue the board considers it safe to say there would have been at least 100,000 cases degraded to second quality The bulk of the pinks packed in British Columbia this season has already been sold, there being a good market demand, and what is being delivered, instead of besmirching the reputation of Canadian salmon as did the Fraser pack of 1929, will raise and the -consuming centres will be in a receptive mood for subsequent packs." it In certain cycles there is a late run of sociceye salmon which acts in a manner very similar to the pink runs described above. These sockeye also play about in the fresh and brackish waters between the Fraser river and the international boundary until they are in poor condition for canning. The area in which the purse seining is now permitted in the southern part of the gulf of Georgia is that in which little gill-netting has been done in the past and it has been proven that it is impossible to take any reasonable quantity of these pinks and " late run " sockeye in good condition by means of gill-nets whereas, on the contrary, the purse seines are able to capture considerable quantities of these fish in first-class condition before they have had an opportunity to deteriorate in quality. In this -way there is made available to the industry a supply of first-class salmon which otherwise would be of very little, if .any, value to the Canadian industry. Another effort by the department in the way of raising the standard of quality of British Columbia salmon was a regulation under the Meat and REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 51 Canned Foods Act requiring that no certificate of inspection of canned salmon be issued for salmon that had not been landed fresh at a cannery for canning within twenty-four hours after being caught, excepting such fish as had been gutted and iced immediately after being caught. In connection with this regulation, however, it has been found that it is impossible of complete enforcement, although the object to be gained in the way of raising the quality certainly well justified the year's attempt.

FRENCH QUOTA FOR CANNED SALMON The trade agreement between Canada and France of May 12, 1933, provided for a quota of 25,000 metric quintals of canned salmon to be shipped from Canada to France up to September 25 and that this quantity would be granted a special tariff. Later, under the same agreement, a further quota of 74,670 metric quintals was arranged for, with shipment between October 1, 1933, and November 30, 1934. Under the two quotas there was shipped up to December 31, 1933 a total of 85,040 quintals, which leaves 14,630 quintals for shipments which it is expected will be made during January, February and March of 1934. Each parcel required a separate Certificate of Origin issued by the Chief Supervisor of Fisheries at Vancouver and visaed by the French Consul at the same city. The number of such certificates issued up to December 31, 1933, totalled 718. The two quotas were responsible for a longer salmon fishing season as the shipments to France were largely composed of pinks and churns, and these species, the chums particularly, run late into the fall of the year. Another result of the quota was the ability of the Canadian packers to market the considerable packs of the fall varieties promptly, which was quite a new experience in recent years.

INSPECTION OF CANNED SALMON With the exception of two seasons in the inspection of British Columbia canned salmon there can be no room for doubt that the inspection service has been immensely successful and has resulted in raising the quality of British Columbia canned salmon very materially. The few minor difficulties, which were natural during the first season, have been adjusted and the regulations are working quite smoothly. The folloveing statement shows the operation of the inspection regulations during the year:— Number of inspections made 2,962 Total number cases inspected 1,440,957 Total number cases rejected 19,838 Total number cases available for certificates 1,421,119 Total amount of fees paid S 14,246.45

HALIBUT The halibut landings in British Columbia d-uring the year totalled 170,372 hundredweights, compared with 168,847 hundredweights in the previous year. Of these, 82,799 hundredweights were landed by Canadian boats and 85,573 by United States boats. The number of Canadian boats operating out of British Columbia was 76. On the advice of the International Fisheries Commission the regulations were altered to permit halibut fishing to commence on February 1 instead of January 16 as in the previous year. The total catch which it was felt might be permitted during the year was placed at 46,000,000 pounds; 21,700,000 pounds of this was allotted to Area 2 and 24,300,000 pounds to Area 3. It was found as the season progressed that, owing to intensive fishing operations, the quotas would be reached well before the closing time of November 15 and it became necessary to close 'fishing in Area 2 at midnight August 25 and in Area ,3 at midnight October 26. With a view to spreading the fishing season over as long a period as possible, consistent with profitable operations, the United States fishing boats arranged amongst themselves for a plan of curtailment of fishing whereby, as conditions made such action desirable, the fishing boats were required to remain in port for certain periods between trips. This arrangement appeared to work reasonably satisfactorily to the fishermen but was not entirely successful, due to the fact that the Canadian boats did not agree to inclusion in the arrangement mentioned. The Canadian operators continued to fish without lay-ups and had .a. definitely more profitable season than otherwise would have been the case. On the whole, the prices were a little better than those of the previous year and the halibut fishermen generally were considerably encouraged. The saving of halibut livers for use in the manufacture of medicinal oil was again found to be profitable, the quantity landed at British Columbia ports during the year being 2,864 hundredweights valued at $54,611.

HERRING The year's drysalt herring pack totalled 513,024 hundredweights, compared with 269,420 hundredweights in the previous year. The 1932 pack, however, had been the smallest since 1919, but not because of a lack for fish, for, on the contrary, there were ample supplies of herring available, but to marketing conditions in the Orient which made it unprofitable to take larger catches for dry- salting. In 1933 an attempt was made tô get together in one organization all those interested in the production of drysalt herring in British Columbia. It was felt, for a time, that these efforts were meeting with success but as the season advanced some members withdrew from the arrangement made, with the result REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 53 that competition became so great, and the methods of marketing were so diversified and unprofitable, that it was found necessary by the industry to curtail fishing again. It is felt that if the industry could succed in some method of co-operation there are possibilities for an extremely profitable business each year in British Columbia drysalt herring. The northern catch was not so great during the year, owing to the fact that as a result of the reduction plant at Prince Rupert not operating there was a material decrease in the demand. There is no suggestion, however, that there was any scarcity of herring in the northern area.

PILCHARDS For some reason which is not definitely known the pilchard run to British Columbia waters this season was practically a failure. Whilst small catches were obtained they were mostly all from distances of from fifty to sixty miles to the south off the coast of the state of Washington. The transportation of these fish, which were very- fat, over such great distances under weather conditions which are often difficult in this area was found to be unprofitable and the fishermen were obliged to cease operations. As the season advanced and the fish did not appear on the usual fishing grounds the fishermen appealed to the Fisheries Department for assistance and the C.G.S. Givenchy was sent for a patrol of three days (August 3 to 5) to the south and westward for the purpose of locating any schools. None were found, however, and the boat returned to her usual patrol. On August 9 the C.G.S. Malaspina was sent out with four captains of the pilchard fleet and in a patrol covering ten days (to August 18) searched the area from the Columbia river in the south to the Queen Charlotte islands in the north and extending 100 miles to sea. During this patrol no pilchards or encouraging signs of them were observed. On August 24 and 26 one of the seaplanes operating for the department -was- utilized for a further search and succeeded in locating (on August 26) a number of schools of pilchards approximately thirty miles west-southwest of cape Flattery. As mentioned above, however, the distance was too great for profitable fishing operations. It appears that during the period when pilchards usually are present off the west coast of Vancouver island the temperature of the water this season averaged ten degrees lower than normal. It has been suggested that the scarcity of the fish can be attributed partly to this condition and the unusual cold northeast winds. FISH MEAL AND OIL Notwithstanding the considerably improved demand for fish meal and oil, and the unusual efforts macle to obtain reasonable supplies of the raw material, the total quantities processed were extremel-y disappointing. This was primarily due to the failure of the pilchard run. Only 1,108 tons of meal and 275,879 gallons of pilchard oil were obtained, as compared with 8,842 tons of meal and 1,315,864 gallons of oil in the preceding year. The supplies of herring were more satisfactory, producing 4,078 tons of meal and 316,213 gallons of oil. Whale products totalled 249 tons of bone and meal, 223 tons of fertilizer and 509,310 gallons of oil. Other sources of reduction plant materials, including dogfish, salmon offal and halibut wastage, produced 1,596 tons of meal and 187,560 gallons of oil.

WHALING As a result of an improved demand for meal and oil the one whaling com- Pally which has been actively interested in the hunting of whales since 1922, 54 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES but which, because of world market conditions, suspended whaling in 1931 and 1932, again operated in 1933. It obtained a total catch of 209 whales, 190 of which were of the valuable sperm variety.

FUR SEAL SKINS It was expected that due to the poor demand and low price for fur seal skins the usual hunting by the Indians on the British Columbia coast during the year under revie w . would not be intensive. As it turned out, the take of 1,984 was an increase of 237 over that of the preceding season. It is interesting to note that no fur seal skins were passed through the Customs office at Prince Rupert for authentication during the year.

DESTRUCTION OF SEA. LIONS The sea lion hunting expedition this year arrived at the Virgin island on June 10, when the first landing was made. Between that date and June 23 hunting parties were successful in getting ashore at the Virgin and Pearl rocks no fewer than ten times, an unusually good showing in view of the weather conditions obtaining in that district which is exposed to the whole sweep of the Pacifie. The C.G.S. Givenchy was again utilized for the hunting expedition and stood off from the rocks after sending parties ashore in the power boat and skiff. At the Virgins 601 adults and 212 pups were accounted for and at the Pearls 109 adults and one pup, or a total of 923. It is observed that no pups were seen on the Virgins during the last two huntings. It is possible that this may be the result of the parents having arrived earlier than usual on the hauling-out grounds and the pups having been sufficiently old to permit of their taking to the water before the arrival of the hunting expedition. It is interesting to hear that the hunting party observed many fish bones on the southwest Virgin reef , which would apparently justify the conclusion that fish had been a portion, at least, of the diet of the sea lions although it had been understood that these mammals do not feed during breeding time.

PATROL SERVICE In addition to the two steam vessels, the Malaspina and the Givenchy there were used in the protection of the fisheries 22 departmentally-owned and 68 chartered power boats, together with 5 rowboats. The Malaspina logged during the year 25,028 miles and the Givenchy 18,003 miles. A total of 255 hours 40 minutes were used in the flying patrol service. More flying time could have been consumed to advantage but this was not possible due to the necessity for curtailment of expenditures. It is the writer's opinion that the patrol service during 1933 has been reduced to the lowest possible minimum consistent with reasonable protection for the immensely valuable fisheries resources. There is a limit beyond which reduction in patrol boats and personnel cannot go if the runs of fish are to receive reasonable protection. For the last two seasons it has been possible to make the necessary reductions and take care of conservation reasonably well but as the lack of boats, patrolmen and guardians becomes generally known the' incentive to violate the regulations becomes greater and it is imperative that such protection be provided as will guard against any depletion of the supply of fish. A few dollars saved now may result in great loss to the public in the future.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 55

VIOLATIONS OF FISHERY REGULATIOrNS The following statement shows the number of violations of the Fishery Regulations during the year, together with the amounts received in the way of fines and sales:—

— District District District Totals No. 1 No. 2 No. 3

Violations 43 54 63 160 Fines 425 00 1,320 00 727 50 2,472 50 Sales 45 45 271 96 241 56 558 97 Totals 470 45 1,591 96 969 06 3,031 47

It will be observed that there was a considerable increase in the number of violations in Districts Nos. 2 and 3. This undoubtedly was due to the more intensive seining operations as a result of a greater demand for the fall varieties of salmon. LICENCES There were 49 salmon cannery licences issued, compared with 44 in the previous year; 238 salmon purse seine licences, compared with 157; and 6,113. salmon gill-net, compared with 5,359. (Cannery licences . are issued by the province.) The power boats used in salmon gill-net fishing in the northern areas have been increasing in numbers each year. In 1924 only 85 operated whereas in 1933 there were 2,287. The fishermen find power boats considerably more efficient and, certainly, the living accommodation is much more comfortable.

fi SPORT FISHING ,J one from a standpoint 1 The year was again found to be quite a satisfactory :I of abundance of sport fish for the many anglers whose number is increasing 1 yearly. . . With a view to increasing the supplies where required, and stocking barren . lakes, there were 203 plantings of sport fish made during the year, totalling . _. 5,960,578 eggs or fry, as follows:— ..

Species Number of Number of Plantings Eggs or Fry

Kamloops trout 99 3,626,837 Cutthroat trout 65 1,661,214 Brown Trout 7 176,589 Steelhead trout 12 171,398 Eastern brook trout 8 130,512 Rainbow trout 12 194,028 Totals 203 5,960 578

The number of plantings and the quantity shows some reduction compared with the preceding season but this was due chiefly to the disappointing collection of Kamloops trout eggs at Penask lake as a result of abnormally difficult freshet conditions. Particularly good fishing was available for Kamloops trout at Paul, Pinan- tan and Fish lakes, in the vicinity of Kamloops. At these points the depart- 56 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES ment has been conducting fish cultural operations for some years and Paul lake, particularly, has been given close atention by officers of the Biological Board and a program of stocking has been worked out based on the food supply available to support a satisfactory fish population. The results during the past two years have been extremely encouraging and appear to justify the conclusion that by means of this system it is quite possible to maintain in all suitable lakes adequate supplies of sport fish of a size desired by the anglers. As sport fishing becomes more intensive the necessity for intelligent study by properly qualified officers and the adoption of a comprehensive system of " farming " sport fish lakes becomes more ànd more apparent. Due largely to the encouragement given by the department, several anglers' associations have continued and enlarged their sport fish culture operations. Amongst those associations taking advantage of the facilities made available by the department are the following:— Cranbrook District Rod and Gun Club at Cranbrook, where a hatchery has been maintained since 1923; Kelowna Rod and Gun Club, Kelowna, where fish retaining ponds have been constructed and considerable success is being achieved; Princeton Rod and Gun Club, Princeton, where one retaining pond has been constructed and operated; Qualicum Fish and Game Association, Qualicum, whose members built one retaining pond, which -■-vas finally taken over by the Provincial Game Department and enlarged to a system of five ponds. These anglers' associations have been -very appreciative of the efforts made by the federal department to assist them in the way of donations of eggs and fry and the advice of the fish cultural officers and departmental engineers. Sportsmen continue to obtain excellent catches of tyee and co-hoe salmon by means of troll and fly at such points as Campbell river, Discovery passage, Comox harbour, Qualicurn bay, Cowichan bay and Saanich inlet. The fly fishing for cohoe has been particularly attractive. The writer had planned to continue the inspection of unorganized districts in the interior of the province during the year with a view to obtaining more information regarding the possibilities of the numerous lakes and streams but due to the difficult financial situation this -work has been deferred.

FISH COOKERY LECTURES In connection with the department's efforts to increase the consumption of fish in Canada, Mrs. Evelene Spencer spent from •anuary 4 to March 26 in British Columbia conducting fish cooking demonstrations and lectures in Van- couver, Victoria, Prince Rupert and Kamloops. These meetings were well attended and with the assistance of the radio, which was placed at her disposal at no cost, Mrs. Spencer was enabled to reach a very large percentage of those with whom she wished to get in contact. The local industry was very much interested and gratified at this help from the department in assisting their marketing efforts.

ANNUAL MEETINGS OF FISHERIES OFFICFMS AND FISHERIES COURSES The annual meeting of fisheries supervisors and inspectors was again held at the Biological Station, Nanaimo, on February 24, when interesting discussion of matters affecting the administration and the industry generally took place. It was found desirable to continue the course of instruction for fiehery inspectors for an additional week at the Biological Station and the period from February 20 to March 1 was utilized for this purpose. The two inspectors who REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 57 had not had an opportunity to qualify as Grade 2 were given a short course at the station where they acquitted themselves creditably and as a result their classification was confirmed.

STAFF The number of individuals employed in the federal fisheries service in British Columbia during the year, at the peak, was reduced by 46 according to the following statement:— Inspection and clerical staff 63 Guardians 32 Patrolmen and boat crews 198 Fish culture 136 Removal of obstructions 2 Total 431 Pursuant to Order in •Council dated July 31, 1933, P.C. 1/1561, the following officers were retired on superannuation: George Franklin Found, Collector of Fish Revenue, Vancouver (15 years' service), and Horatio Shotton, Fishery Inspector Grade 1, Kamloops (21 years' service). For the purpose of more efficient administration of the Fisheries service in British Columbia the following transfers of permanent officers were made during +.1 the year: Inspector G. E. Moore—From South Queen Charlottes district to Butedale district; Inspector D. S. Cameron—from Butedale district to Alert Bay district: Inspector H. F. Douglas—from Alert Bay district to Pender Harbour district; Inspector S. Boond—from Pender Harbour district to Quathiaski district; and Inspector A. F. Lloyd—from Quathiaski district to Cowichan district. The re-arrangement left the South Queen Charlottes district vacant ae far as a separate inspector is concerned and the whole of the Queen Charlottes district has again been included in the one area under the one inspector. The transfers noted were made practically without cost as departmentally owned boats were utilized for this purpose. (Reference to the work of the Engineering staff in British Columbia during the year is included in Appendix No. 4.)

REPORT ON SPAWNING GROUNDS, 1933 North Queen Charlotte Islands Sockeye salmon run to this area only in small quantities. The streams frequented are the Yakoun and Awun rivers and one or two other minor streams. The size of the runs is not a material factor in the salmon pack. An average return was observed in the streams this year. These remarks apply very largely to the springs and cohoes. Although much of the trolling Ill the north is carried on along the north coast of the Queen Charlotte group, these salmon apparently are heading for spawning grounds on the mainland. The pink run in the North Queen Charlottes is heavy in the even-numbered years and during the odd-numbered, including this year, the quantities of this variety are negligible. The conditions found this season were average. There are several fair chum streams and the run this season has been normal. 83480-51. 68 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

South Queen Charlotte Islands The coho run to this area is not a large factor in the fishing operations. This season was an " off " one for pink salmon although some were found in Copper river, Tl-ell river and Riley creek. The precautions taken during recent seasons for the protection of the chum run have obtained excellent results and the quantity of these fish found on the spawning grounds was very satisfactory.

Naas River Area The same officer who has macle the inspection of the Meziaden area during recent years was again employed this year and reports that the run of sockeye to that district was found to be not particularly satisfactory; this has reference to both the early and late runs. The quantity of spawning fish observed, however, was estimated as greater than in 1927, about fifty per cent better than in 1928 but from forty to fifty per cent less than in 1929. It should be mentioned again that an inspection covering a period of a few days is not all that could be desired when it is remembered that the sockeye run continues for several weeks. It is impossible to provide a really adequate inspection of such isolated areas, unless, at very considerable expense, officers are maintained at these points during the whole period of the run. The inspection of the lower portion of the watershed would seem to show that a satisfactory proportion of the run had passed through the commercial fishing areas. This is evidenced by the good catches made by the Indians farther up the river for their own food purposes. The upper reaches of the Naas are very difficult of access but it was possible to obtain a fair estimate of the quantities of spawning fish and indications would appear to point to a normal supply of sockeye. Supplies of springs and cohoes were reported as being greater than found during any previous inspection. Pink salmon were found in satisfactory numbers on the spawning grounds and the conditions regarding chums 'a ere found to be normal although it was early in the season for this variety. The Naas is not a heavy producer of chums.

Skeena River Area It was not expected that there would be any large quantity of spawning sockeye found in this area, due to the light seedings of the previous cycle years, and the inspection confirmed these expectations. At Ba.bine lake the principal spawning beds are 15-Mile creek, Fulton river, Morris river and lake, and the Babine river. At 15-Mile creek the 'first run was over two weeks late compared to 1929 and was estimated to be fairly satisfactory, although smaller than that of the year above mentioned. The second run arrived in the second week of Sep- tember and is reported as a heavy one. The seeding of this creek evidently is entirely satisfactory. At Fulton river the run was reported as being surprisingly good. This is confirmed by the Indians, who obtained a portion of their winter food supply at this point. The inspecting officer feels that the number found was considerably less than in 1929, although heavier than any season since that year. At Morrison creek, where the hatchery is situated, the run was the best in the last three seasons bu t. not as good as that of the brood year 1929. Whilst it is a fact that the hatchery did not obtain a sufficient quantity of eggs to fill the establishment to capacity, this cannot be taken as evidence of an unsatis- factory run as the lower fence was not closed until a portion of the run had passed through. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER, 69 The lower portion of the Babine river itself is reported to have received a heavy run of sockeye, whilst few sockeye were found in the rest of the river. The inspecting officer is rather of the opinion that it is the five-year fish which are usually the most plentiful in this portion and he points out that there was a small run fours years ago but a heavy run of large fish in 1928. A good run of five-year fish is expected next season. A plentiful supply of spring salmon was found in the area and good supplies of pinks and cohoes as well. In the Kispiox and Kitwonga areas small quantities of sockeye were observed. This also applies to the Slangese river. In the Morice river and lake area the supply of sockeye seems to have been fair, but it is very difficult to make a thorough inspection of this area. An attempt has been made by means of seaplane and by pack horse but the officers are of the opinion that the only adequate method is by means of a boat with an outboard engine of sufficient power to contend with the swift water. The supply of springs found was very satisfactory and this was true also in the case of the cohoes. The sockeye run to Williams la,ke, in the Lakelse area, is reported by the superintendent of the hatchery as being a good one, exceeding that of the brood year of 1929. It is pointed out, however, that most of these sockeye are taken for hatchery purposes. This is the main sockeye spawning ground in the area. In the case of Schullbuckhund creek the conditions were quite the reverse and the showing found this season was poor compared with that of 1929. No doubt this condition was due largely to the damage done to the Spawning grounds in 1929 by the severe freshets. The supply of pinks may be considered as fair but the cohoes, on the other hand, appeared in large quantities and were reported by the superintendent as being in greater numbers than he has observed. The supply of spawning sockeye in the Ochstal river watershed was light and could hardly be considered as satisfactory, but there were good supplies of springs, chums, cohoes and pinks. Considering the Skeena watershed as a whole, the return of sock-eye salmon appears to have been much better than might have been expected when one considers the small commercial catch. Lowe Inlet Area The sockeye supply showed an increase over the cycle year, generally speaking, but there were several streams where there is necessity for further conservation measures. The proper action will be taken with a view to providing for a larger escapement. The coho supply was very satisfactory in practically all streams. This remark applies also to the pinks and the inspecting officer suggests that the conditions found would indicate a gradual building up of the " off " year run. In the case of the chums, the supplies were rather light although it is considered that the spawning beds will be fairly well seeded.

Butedale Area Sockeye appeared in sufficient numbers to seed the spawning grounds fairly well. The escapement of cohoes was quite satisfactory. At Indian river, particularly, there was a very heavy seeding. The pink run was fourteen da-ys later than usual and the quantities observed on the spawning grounds were larger than the commercial catches would indicate. The seeding was quite satisfactory. At Mussell. Kynoch and Green inlets the streams were better seeded than other parts of the area and, on the whole, the chum seeding can be considered as only fair. 70 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Bella Bella Area There was a good average supply of sockeye found on the spawning beds. It was necessary to increase the closed time in the northern part of the area but the additional two weeks added appears to have given the desired results. Cohoes, while showing well in some rivers, did not appear, generally speaking, in particularly satisfactory quantities. The pink supply was not more than fair even though it was an " off " year for this variety. The same remark applies to chums.

Bella Coola-Kims quit Area The principal spawning areas in these two districts are the Bella Coola or Atnarko river (at the head of Burke channel) and the Kimsquit river (at the head of the channel of that name). In the Bella Coola river it was found that while the supply of spawning sockeye was reasonably good, and estimated to be sufficient to provide a good return, it was not quite equal to the run of 1929. The commercial catch in this area was unusually good. It is worthy of note that the run of sockeye arrived on the spawning grounds two weeks earlier than usual. Notwithstanding the fact that springs have not been fished to any extent in this area, the supplies on the spawning grounds do not appear to increase. No doubt the trolling operations at distant points have their effect on the run to Bella Coola as well as to other districts. Cohoes were fewer in number than usual. The run of pinks, however, is stated by the inspecting officer to have been a very heavy one, all gravel bars being crowded with spawning salmon of this variety. The situation with regard to chums was quite satisfactory. The sockeye return to the spawning grounds in the Kimsquit river was the best observed in several seasons, noticeably larger than the quantities appearing in the brood year of 1929. The coho supplies observed were not satisfactory but, of course, in the case of this stream, as in most others frequented by cohoes, the run continues well into the winter months. The supply of chums was quite satisfactory. The pink run this season was smaller than usual but the Eimsquit is not a good pink stream. The streams along the shores of Burke and Dean channels other than the ones referred to above are frequented by the fall varieties of salmon and appeared to be doing rather better than holding their own. In recent years extra precautions have been taken with a view to building up the runs here and these efforts apparently are proving successful. Although heavy rainfalls occurred during the spawning time there was no evidence of damage to the spawning grounds at the time of inspection. The inspection was carried out by means of a seaplane. In this way the trip was made in two days, with the use of two hours' flying time; otherwise a difficult trip of from twelve to sixteen days would have been necessary.

Rivers Inlet Area Two trips of inspection were made in this area; the first covering the period from the 9th to 12th of September, for the purpose of observing the results of the early runs of sockeye to the upper reaches, and the second from October 14 to 22. The early run of sockeye to the Wak-Wash river was found to be exceptionally heavy. This river is frequented by what spring salmon enter Owekano lake. The quantity found was not as large as usual. The Cheo river contained a reasonably heavy supply of sockeye salmon and the supply found in Indian REPORT OF THE DEPUTY _MINISTER 71 river was even greater. The inspecting officer observes after his two inspections of these streams that it must be concluded there was a remarkable escapement of sockeye this season in these streanis. At Genesi river the escapement was found to be a normal one. At Shumahalt river a fair supply of sockeye was observed. In Markwell river no sockeye were observed but this is not unusual as the stream is extremely muddy and in the past, so far as is known, has not been a material factor in the production of sockeye salmon. Nookins river was found to contain a satisfactory supply of spawning sockeye, and the same is true of Askum river. Quap river contained quite a satisfactory supply of sockeye and the conditions at Dallec river were normal. It is gratifying to find the spawning grounds in this area so well seeded, particularly in view of the excellent commercial catch. Smiths Inlet Area Two trips of inspection were also made in this area, the first one by 'plane on the 17th of September. There are only two sockeye streams of any account, viz., the Geluck and Delebah. These were found on -both inspections to be splendidly supplied with sockeye, which promises well for the cycle year. At Nekite river, at the head of Smiths inlet, the run of pinks appears to be increasing although the supplies of cohoes and chums were rather light. In Takoosh river the fishing area was closed this year in order to restore the run of the unusually good variety of chums. It is intended to keep the area closed fèr four years. The supplies on the spawning grounds this season were found not to be satisfactory. Alert Bay Area The important sockeye streams in this area are the Nimpkish river and the stream entering at the head of Glendale cove. Due primarily to high water conditions, a very satisfactory proportion of the run escaped to the spawning grounds of the Nimpkish system and the seeding at Glendale cove and the points of lesser importance, such as McKenzie sound, Thomson sound and Port Neville, was quit-e good. The early runs of the creek variety at Hardy bay and the Shushartie and Nahwitti rivers were not fished and all passed safely to the spawning grounds. The escapement of springs in Knight and Eingcome inlets and along the mainland shore generally was found to be good, due partly, no doubt, to the fact that the toll taken by the fishermen was very light. The escapement to the Nimpkish system was also quite satisfactory. It is in the even-numbered years that the pink run to the Alert Bay area in larger quantities but this year the supply was better than in the brood year of 1931. A good escapement of both cohoes and chums was observed.

Quathiaski Area A satisfactory supply of spawning sockeye reached the beds in Phillips arm, which is the most important district for this variety. At Hayden ,bay conditions were not quite so satisfactory but arrangements are being made to gi-ve this run further protection. A large escapement of springs was observed on the spawning grounds. The run to Campbell river was somewhat better than last season and a large percentage of the run escaped to the spawning areas. The pink run was quite as good as that of the brood year and the seeding of chums and cohoes was entirely satisfactory. 72 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

Pender Harbour Area Sockeye run only to the Saginaw system. A heavy escapement was found this year on the spawning grounds. The pink supply at Jervis inlet is being maintained. Apparently in this area the years are fairly even and the spawning has been quite adequate. At Toba inlet and in other parts of the district pinks were found in greater quantities than in the cycle year. The coho seeding was quite satisfactory, in comparison with that of the brood year, but the quantity of chums found was rather light. Comox Area An unusually large supply of springs was reported on the spawning grounds of the Puntledge river. The pink supply exceeded that of the brood year of 1931 although it was the " off " year for the district. The Tsoleum river was particularly well seeded. Cohoes were found in very considerable quantities and the run was entirely satisfactory. In the case of the chums, a large supply was observed on the spawning areas of the Puntledge river and in several of the smaller streams which flow into Bayne sound. The other streams, however, were not so well seeded. Nanaimo Area Coho salmon were found in unusually large quantities on the spawning grounds in the Nanoose bay portion of the area and a good average supply in the Nanimo river. The chum run in the Nanoose area was an improvement over the brood year but it was somewhat less in Nanaimo river.

Ladysmith Area Cohoes were found to be in quite satisfactory quantities in the Ladysmith area and the pink supply was equal to that of the brood year. In the Chemainus river the chum run was not up to expectations but equal to that of 1929. In the smaller streams, however, conditions were found to be more satisfactory. Cowichan Area The spring supply is considered a fair average one. In the case of the cohoes, the run is reported as the best for many years. The chum supply was quite satisfactory. It is rarely fished except by the Indians for food purposes. It is interesting to note that in the Cowichan and Koksilah rivers, two of the most important sport fishing streams on the island, the run of steelhead was one of the best observed in recent years.

Victoria Area The coho supply found was quite a satisfactory one but the chum run can be considered as only fair. These runs are fished very little. Alberni Area The sockeye streams of this area are the Somass river, Anderson river and the FIobarton river, in Nitinat lake. The inspecting officer refers to the spawning conditions found in the Somass river as the very best. In the Anderson river, however, conditions were quite different and a very poor supply arrived on the spawning grounds. Arrangements are being made to provide for a larger percentage of escapement in future years. At the Hobarton river the escapement REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 73 was found to be quite satisfactory. The inspecting officer remarks in this case that the size of the individual fish comprising the run to Hobarton river appears to be increasing very materially. The supply of springs found in the Somass, Anderson, Nahmint and Nitinat areas was found to be very good and that to the Serita and Toquart areas, while not so good, was quite satisfactory. Coho arrived in all the streams entering Alberni canal in large quantities and in the opinion of the reporting officer the supply of that variety in the district is showing a large increase. Spawning conditions in the case of chums were found to be good. There was not much fishing equipment operated and consequently a larger percentage of the run escaped.

Clayoquot Area The sockeye spawning in the Kennedy lake section, -which is the most important area, was not as satisfactory as could be desired, although a fairly good run ascended the Medgin river. The peculiar conditions obtaining at the mouth of Kennedy river made it vcry difficult to permit any commercial fishing at all and be sure of a reasonable quantity for the spawning grounds. The supply of sockeye will, of course, be of no use to anyone unless permission is given to fish them commercially to some e,:tent. Notwithstanding strenuous opposition, unusual precautions have been taken in recent years to be sure of a proper escapement but even with these precautions there are times when, owing to the difficulty of knowing the movements of the fish, a larger percentage than desirable is captured. The quantities of springs and cohoes found Were, larger than usual and very satisfactory. This was so in the case of chums also, although the run was somewhat lighter than in the brood year. The spawning grounds were well seeded.

Nootka Area Sockeye salmon did not arrive in important quantities in this district although there is usually a fair run of the creek variety to the Gold river. The coho supply, which is never large in this district, compared favourably with other years. The c.hum supply was somewhat disappointing, although unusual closures were arranged in order to provide a larger percentage of escapement.

Kyuquot Area The usual small run of creek sockeye was observed, but in this area the sockeye variety is not an important factor. Springs and cohoes were found in quite satisfactory quantities on the spawn- Mg areas. In the case of the chums, the situation was not so satisfactory, the inspecting officer reporting the smallest run since 1925.

Quatsino Area The sockeye running to this area are of the creek variety and not an important factor in the commercial fishing. The spawning conditions were found to be quite adequate. The run of springs was only fair and appears to have been not as satisfactory as in the two preceding seasons, although the water conditions made observation difficult. The coho supplies were found to be good and the supply of chums equalled that of four years ago. 74 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

Fraser River Watershed • Nineteen thirty-three was the cycle year of the previous big sockeye run, and whilst there was no particular reason to expect a large return, due to the conditions obtaining following the catastrophe of 1913, yet a good run would not have been surprising. Actually, conditions found were very much as might have been expected. The usual large quantity of pinks arrived in this, the cycle year of the big run of this variety. The usual spawning grounds were satisfactorily seeded. The supply of springs on the spawning grounds was not as satisfactory as could be desired, though far from being a failure. The seeding of cohoes and chums was found to be fairly average. Unusually heavy rainfalls and mild weather during the fall months caused flood conditions in many streams, particularly near the coast; the run-off was approximately 50 per cent greater than normal. The situation in more detail is as follows: Prince George District. As a result of the unusually satisfactory escapement to the spawning areas in this system in 1929, it was hoped that a much larger return would have been observed in 1933. The reports, however, have not been encouraging. It is a fact that in the upper reaches of the Stuart, Trembleur and Takla lakes fair quantities of sockeye were observed, but in the lower reaches of Stuart lake system the spawning was disappointing. The sockeye this year were apparently quite late in arriving, the first being observed on August 9 and the second run appearing on September 9. The former were in very poor condition but the latter were quite the contrary. The Indians in the Fort St. James district obtained approximately 1,000 sockeye. In the Francois-Fraser lake area there was quite an appreciable increase over the brood year of 1929; in fact, the run is reported as the largest in many years. Good supplies of sockeye were seen in Ormond creek and Stellako river in the Fraser lake area, a 100 per cent increase over 1929. This year, for the first time in many years, sockeye were reported from the Burns lake watershed in such streams as the Endaka river, Shovel creek, Poison creek and Tchesinkut creek. Quesnel District. The reports from this area show the return of sockeye above the average and the inspecting officer suggests that it has been the best run in eight years. It must be remembered, however, that the number of spawning sockeye returning to the Bowron system has been very small in recent seasons and this year's report cannot be taken as evidence of any large quantity. In the Quesnel lake system there was a small run of sockeye observed com- mencing on August 22, but this return cannot be considered as encouraging. Chilco Lake System. It will be remembered that in the brood year of 1929 the inspecting officer reported having seen approximately 70,000 spawning sockeye. This year the same officer reports at least 100,000 sockeye as having reached the spawning grounds in good condition. He states that it is the largest quantity he has observed in his ten years' experience in the district and from information received he is of the opinion that it is the best in the last twenty years. Shuswap Lake System. At Little river and Adams river there was observed an increase in the number of spawning sockeye compared with the brood year but the return was not as large as expected. A few were also observed in Scotch creek. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 75 Hope Area. A few sockeye were noticed in the creek at the head of Kawkawa lake and a few in the Nahatlatch river, as well as some of the smaller streams between Hope and Lytton. The numbers compared favourably with those observed in 1929. The conditions at Hells Gate canyon were normal and the salmon, although delayed at times for short periods, were able to pass this point safely. Harrison Lake-Birkenhead System. There was no increase in the number of sockeye on the spa‘Vning grounds in the Harrison district as compared with the year 1929. Springs and chums were not as numerous as could be desired. Although the supply of pinks was not heavy, yet it was reasonably satisfactory. In the Birkenhead system the supply of fish on the spawning grounds was quite disappointing. The hatchery obtained a collection of only 10,674,000 sockeye eggs. In this connection it is felt that the Indians are taking far too great a toll from the run passing up the system from the Fraser river and steps are being taken to reduce this quantity very materially in future seasons. Cultus Lake Area. At Cultus lake it is not expected that the number of returning sockeye will exceed 3,500 spawners. There was also a run of sockeye to Chilliwack lake but it was no greater than average. The supplies of springs, chums and pinks were satisfactory. Pitt Lake Area. At Pitt lake high water conditions were experienced which interfered with observations. The collection at the hatchery was only 2,285,900 sockeye eggs, but as a result of the washing out of the fences a portion of the run passed to the spawning grounds and deposited their eggs under natural conditions. The two high water periods occurred just when the greatest number of fish were below the fences. • Squamish Area. The supply of springs compared favourably with those of recent years. Pinks, although probably not quite as numerous as in 1931, appeared in satisfactory quantities. These remarks also apply to the chums and cohoes. APPENDIX No. II

SUMMARY REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE BIOLOGICAL BOARD OF CANADA FOR 1933 BY THE CHAIRMAN, PROF. J. PLAYFAIR MolVIURRICEI The Biological Board of Canada, operating under the Minister of Fisheries, was established by Act of Parliament in 1912 and is supported by an annual grant from Parliament. Ii s membership includes representatives of the Depart- ment of Fisheries, of the fishing industry and of a number of Canadian univer- sities. During the year the membership has been as follows:— Prof. J. Playfair McMurrich, University of Toronto, Chairman. J. J. Cowie, Department of Fisheries, Secretary and Treasurer. E. W. Gilbert, Department of Fisheries, Assistant Treasurer. Prof. R. J. Bean, Dalhousie University. Pro. A. T. Cameron, University of Manitoba. Prof. A. F. Chaisson, St. Francis Xavier University. Prof. Philip Cox, University of New Brunswick. John Dybhavn, Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Prof. A. H. Hutchinson, University of British Columbia. Prof. W. T. MacClement, Queen's University. Prof. Marie-Victorin, University of Montreal. Prof. H. G. Perry, Acadia University , Prof. E. E. Prince, Department of Fisheries. J. A. Rodd, Department of Fisheries. Prof. W. P. Thompson, University of Saskatchewan. Prof. A. Vachon, Laval University. Doctor R. C. Wallace, University of Alberta. A. H. Whitman, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Prof. A. Willey, IVIcGill University. During the year two changes took place in the personnel of the board. Dr. Willey having retired from active service, McGill University recommended the appointment of Prof. D. L. Thomson as his successor; similarly, the retire- ment of 1VIr. E. W. Gilbert led to the appointment of Mr. F. O. Weeks as Assistant Treasurer. As in past years the board has maintained four stations for the investigation of fishery problems, these being situated at St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Nanaimo, British Columbia, and Prince Rupert, British Columbia. In addition, two substations have been carried on for the investigation of special problems connected with the fisheries, one at Ellerslie, Prince Edward Island, for the investigation of the oyster problem, and the other at Cultus lake, British Columbia, where the natural history of the Pacific salmon is being intensively studied. Each station has a director and a staff, selected with a view to the character of the problems that are to be studied. The members of the board give their services gratuitously. For reasons of economy the full board meets only once a year. In the interval the business of the board is conducted by an Executive Committee, appointed at the annual meeting, and in addition there are Atlantic and Pacific Sub-Executive Committees, vvhich report to the Central Executive the needs and problems of their respective territories. Great reduction in the annual grant to the board necessarily resulted in curtailment of the work at the various stations; nevertheless the year's work, 76 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 77 under the circumstances, must be regarded as satisfactory. Its results are set forth in the reports of the directors of the stations and members of their staffs published in the board's annual report and only some of the more important investigations may be briefly referred to here. . The runs of herring in the Passamaquoddy area were studied in their connections with the oceanographic and meteorological conditions prevailing, and much interesting information was obtained. The distribution and migration of cod in the Halifax area received attention, a problem of much interest on account of the well-marked stratification of the waters of the area. Studies of the natural history of the Atlantic salmon were also continued and an interesting result was obtained from an experiment begun in the previous year. In 1932, eggs from Restigouche salmon were planted in a stream to which there had been no salmon run for at least fifty years; the fry flourished and became pair in the succeeding year and in the autumn of that year there was a run to the stream of adult salmon. Progress was made in the study of the oyster in Richmond bay, it being found that the method of rearing spat, on cultch suspended in baskets above the bottom of the water was very successful, protect- ing the spat from silt and from the depredations of starfish. Mention may also be made of the determination of the amount of gastric juice secreted as the result of partaking of various fish foods, a study important from the -viewpoint of dietetics. The smoking of fish by conditioned air has received continued attention with a view to reduction in the cost of the apparatus and to the prevention of " banding." In both particulars success has followed. The problem of devising at a moderate cost a system of cold storage for bait has also engaged attention, and improvements in the methods of canning tuna and mackerel and numerous _analyses and determinations of the nutritive values of fish meal have been made. The study of the Pacific salmon has been vigorously continued; for a summary of the results reference may be made to the statement of Dr. Clemens in the board's annual report. It may be mentioned, however, that experiments in the transference of eggs from one stream to another, in the hope that the adult -fish would return to the stream in which they were reared, gave negative or disappointing results. Owing to the success in the planting of the Japanese oyster in Ladysmith harbour it has been possible to make a thorough study of the -various factors—tidal, seasonal and physiological—that influence growth. Through the courtesy of the Hydrographie Department it has been possible to carry out interesting observations on the ocean currents in Nootka sound and _adjacent waters. It is hoped that these observations may be continued and .extended. The stud-y of fish oils has been continued and the Prince Rupert station is flow -prepared to assay the vitamin D content of samples that may be submitted to them. This station is now preparing Marinai on a commercial scale and the dernand for it is constantly increasing. Studies have been made of the conditions for successful refrigeration and storage and of the efficiency of - refrigerated cars. During the year a course of instruction for fishermen was given in which -members of the staff of the Halifax station participated, together with representatives of the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture and of the Depart- - ment of Fisheries. The members of the staff also gave a course of instruction for foremen of lobster canneries and delivered lectures in the fisheries course conducted by Dalhousie University. On the west coast the members of the Nanaimo station gave a course of instruction for fishery inspectors. All these .courses seem to have been greatly appreciated. Two especially pleasing incidents occurred in the course of the year, the visit of a number of members of the Pan-Pacifie Science Congress to the Nanaimo station, and a session of the North American Council on Fishery Investigations held at the St. Andrews station.

APPENDIX No. III FISH CULTURE ANNUAL REPORT BY J. A. RODD, DIRECTOR The Department of Fisheries confines its fish cultural operations to those provinces in which it is administering the fisheries, viz., Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and British Columbia. The operation of the hatcheries located in the National Parks in Alberta is also directed by the Department of Fisheries but at the expense of the National Parks branch, Department of the Interior. Operations by the Department of Fisheries include the propagation of the more important fresh-water and anadraraous food and game fishes. The total distribution from the hatcheries operated by this department in 1933 was 109,560,039. The numbers of each species which were distributed were:- STATEMENT BY SPECIES, OF THE FISH AND FISFI EGGS DISTRIBUTED FROM THE HATCHERIES DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECE5IBER 31, 1933

Inspections were continued with a view to locating waters where fish eggs might be obtained in sufficient quantities to warrant the establishing of collecting camps and also with a view to locating sites where the Fish Culture Service might be extended advantageously- to districts that are not readily accessible from existing hatcheries. Continued progress was made in experiments with equipment, methods and foods of various kinds at several hatcheries. The experiments and the investigations in relation to fish cultural problems that were made by the Biological Board of Canada are referred to in Appendix No. 2 of the Report of the Depart- ment of Fisheries for 1933-34. The Fish Cultural Branch participated with units showing hatchery products and equipment in an exhibit that was made at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Some 13,843 suckers, over seven and one-half tons in weight, were destroyed in Wilmot stream, which flows into Loch Lomond near Saint John, New Bruns- wick. Some 586 coarse fish were also destroyed in Blue and McKenzie lakes in the Princeton area, British Columbia. Twenty-four main hatcheries, nine subsidiary hatcheries, eight salmon- retaining ponds and several egg-collecting stations were operated during 1933. The output from these establishments was as follows:- 78 REPORT OFTHE DEPUT Y MINIST ER to by 2,000 44,500 110,000 881,195 471,172 337,719 1,401,913 1,322,085 1,665,893 2,556,555 2,371,976 2,998,157 2,577,607 2,746,841 1,440,197 2,040,080 Total distri- 2,499,159 3,968,307 bution hatcheries hatcheries 134 785 155 NUMBER OF OF NUMBER by 1,000 2,000 35,220 75,155 89,364 28,000 44,500 48,341 56,470 20,761 27,680 50,000 156,040 120,500 164,757 650,000 696,000 175,154 191,430 112,430 811,041 115,000 988,411 798,400 603,513 881,324 905,419 632,781 114,950 763,936 114,107 504,5S5 471,172 337,710 940,160 485,195 351,693 1,240,565 1,696,283 1,841,422 1,088,554 Total 1,491,393 2,962,937 1,207,220 1,927,650 distri- 3,854,200 species species bution 63 34 155 134 282 487 889 250 AND THE THE AND 1,000 9,188 and 11,000 11,498 75,733 23,500 93,000 lings older Year- 751 344 2,545 16,470 77,866 35,220 75,155 97,000 62,781 48,059 27,580 28,000 44,500 20,761 39,001 SPECIES SPECIES 695,308 650,000 156,040 731,837 139,143 140,056 114,107 164,757 115,000 988,411 798,400 603,450 610,000 905,419 256,400 608,686 390,585 505,154 330,160 linge Finger- Finger- 1,239,765 1,696,283 1,841,422 1,017,220 1,402,205 3,854,200 THE THE 80,000 40,000 50,000 2,240,717 50,000 2,240,717 75,000 40,000 20,000 95,000 fry 149,000 174,810 178,885 112,430 190,000 592,000 295,000 583,400 212,500 228,795

109,560,039 The experimental introduction of brown trout (Salmo fario) into the Cowichan and Little Qualicum rivers, British Columbia, was continued. A third allotment of 300,000 eggs for this experiment was received on January 11, 1934, fi/om the Trout Brook Company, Hudson, Wisconsin. A second allotment of 100,000 eyed Atlantic salmon eggs was obtained througli the Fishery Board of Scotland by the Game Board of British Columbia, in continuation of the latter's effort to establish early running Atlantic salmon in the province. These eggs were laid down January 13, 1934, and the resultant fry will be reared at the Cowichan hatchery, British Columbia. The Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Railway, Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, and the Dominion Atlantic Railway Companies continued their generous assistance and co-operation by furnishing free transportation for shipments of game fish and game fish eggs with their attendants. A similar courtesy was also extended by the Northern Alberta Railways Company. This courtesy has been eXtended by the Canadian National Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway Companies to include transportation for eggs and fish, but without attendants, on the coastal service in British Columbia. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company has also granted free transportation for 83480-6

82 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES such shipments with attendants on the British Columbia lake and river service and on the steamer service between Saint John, New Brunswick, and Digby, Nova Scotia. The extent of co-operation in 1933 is indicated in the following summary:—

Gratifying reports regarding results that are apparent from the distribution of hatchery output continued to accumulate from all districts where this department is operating hatcheries and an increased interest is generally apparent in fish cultural operations. In addition to results mentioned further on in this report by District Super- visors Catt and Harrison, the following results from stocking barren lakes are mentioned: Manistee lake in the Fernie district, British Columbia, was stocked with 23,500 Kamloops fry in 1925. In the spring of 1927 Kamloops averaged. 24 inches long and 73. pounds weight. One fish weighing 13 pounds 1 ounce was taken in September, 1927. Cahill lake near Slocan, British Columbia, received 20,000 Kamloops trout eggs in 1925 and in 1931 fish up to 15 pounds (when dressed) were taken. Haskins lake in the Kelowna district, British Columbia, received 25,000 Kamloops fry in 1927 and four years later 14-pound fish were being caught. Lillian lake near Nelson, British Columbia, was stocked with 12,500 rainbow trout eggs in 1929 and by May, 1932, specimens had attained a weight of 7 pounds. Paul lake in the Kamloops district, British Columbia, was first stocked in 1909 from Granite Creek hatchery with 5,000 Kamloops trout fry. It now supplies Lloyd's Creek hatchery with approximately 1,000,000 eggs annually. Some 6,000 fish are captured from this lake each year. Maligne lake, Alberta, stocked in 1928 with speckled trout, produced spawning fish 18 inches long in October, 1929, and by November, 1931, they were 20 inches long and weighed 6 pounds, had a depth of 7-4- inches and a girth of 16 inches. Clear lake in Charlotte county, New Brunswick, was stocked in 1925 and subsequent years with rainbow trout from Saint John hatchery. In 1929 rainbow inches long weighing 44 pounds were caught. Alderson lake, Alberta (6, 1, 30 W. 4), received cutthroat fry in 1928. These had attained a grow-th of 10 to 14 inches by 1931 and weighed 2 pounds. Marvel lake, Alberta (22, 12, W. 5), had cutthroat introduced in 1926 and by 1933 they were 25 inches long and 6 pounds in weight. Herbert. lake, Alberta, (T. 29, R. 16), received cutthroat fingerlings. 1930. They were 8 to 14 inches long by September, 1932. in The Director of Fisheries for Alberta advised in August, 1933, that excellent results were apparent, notably in the Bow, the Highwood, Willow creek and the Crowsnest river, from the introduction of rainbow trout into the foothill streams south of Calgary; that excellent rainbow trout fishing was being enjoyed in the Bow river from Calgary to about six miles east of Carseland, fish up to 4; pounds being taken quite frequently in this part of the river, which was practically barren of trout before the rainbow were introduced; in the Highwood

e: REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 83 for about thirty miles east of High River, where previously no trout were caught, rainbow up to 4 pounds in weight were taken, with many averaging 24- pounds each, and that angling almost equally as good was enjoyed in Willow creek and the Crowsnest river. In many districts private individuals and local organizations, such as fish and game clubs, angling and protective associations, boards of trade, service clubs, etc., have provided transportation for the distribution of hatchery product in local waters and have otherwise assisted in fish cultural work. In general the interest shown in co-operative fish culture has greatly increased. Several rearing ponds, some of them on a rather extensive scale, have been constructed. Construction costs have been borne by the local organization interested, in some instances assisted by the provincial government. The department has furnished biological, fish cultural, and engineering advice when requested in all instances prior to development, and it lias also supplied eggs or fry up to the capacity of the respective ponds. The Avon River Power Company has continued its cordial assistance and co-operation in the operation of the Nictaux salmon retaining pond. • Officials and employees of other federal departments, provincial officials, and officers and crews of fishery patrol and protection boats, and other branches of this department have cordially co-operated in all instances where they could be of assistance. The Research Committee of the Biological Board has continued its courteous consideration of all fish culture problems that were referred to it. From the autumn collection of 1932 various exchanges of eyed eggs were made with the United States Bureau of Fisheries, details of which are given in a subsequent statement.

MARITIME PROVINCES, EASTERN DIVISION

District Supervisor of Fish Culture, James Catt Distributions as a whole from the several Maritime Province hatcheries were very satisfactory during the past season. In certain cases the stock liber-, ated showed a marked improvement over the previous year. The collection of speckled trout ova, this season surpassed anything heretofore achieved in this division. Atlantic salmon egg collections were below normal, due to a most -unusual series of fall freshets with intenrals of very cold weather. ,Storms and freshets damaged the Miramichi retaining pond to such an extent that the majority of the impounded fish escaped. Heavy spates destroyed the fish trap at Margaree Harbour and twice washed out the retaining fence at River Philip. • Floods also covered the Sackville river trap and fence and rendered them ineffective for considerable periods. Notwithstanding had weather conditions, a good collection of landlocked salmon eggs was made at Chamcook lake, New Brunswick: This was not the ease at Grand lake, Nova Scotia, where freshets, after breaking the main fence on the Shubenacadie river, remained so high that for weeks the surface of the stream was at least eighteen inches over the top of the fence. To the existing lists of waters proven to have been greatly benefited by stocking, at least two new areas may be added. They are Giant's lake, stocked with rainbow trout from Antigonish hatchery, and Hart's lake, stocked with speckled trout from Bedford hatchery. In the latter case many of the fish have descended into the headwaters of the Wallace river. Hart's lake received 2,500 speckled trout fry in 1931 and 30,000 in each of the years 1932 and 1933. In 1933 some of the trout caught in the lake were 19 inches long and in a spawning condition. Yearlings were 6 te 7 inches long. Giant's lake received its first 83180-q 84 DEPA.RTMENT OF FISHERIES stocking in 1931. In 1933 large numbers of rainbow fingerlings, the result of natural propagation of the two-year-old stock, were seen by the inspecting officer while the largest of the two-year-old fish observed had an estimated weight of over 3 pounds. The size of many trout taken in the increased catch on the Antigonish rivers indicates that there can be no reasonable doubt as to their hatchery origin. In the small privately o-vvned pond near Saint John, known as Ray's lake, the brown trout, are doing well. One specimen over 6 pounds in weight was captured there in the summer of 1933. Many specimens of 14 to 2 pounds were also taken. The speckled trout stock in this water continues to hold its own. Woodard lake below Pennfield in Charlotte county has yielded excellent returns from the speckled trout liberated in it from St. John hatchery, The fish have made à quick growth and specimens up to 4 pounds 3 ounces in weight have been reported. An extended investigation to locate sites for natural fingerling and brood stock ponds was made particularly in southwestern Nova Scotia. These investigations entail a great deal of work as every mile of a stiitable stream must be examined, providing that it conforms to accessibility requirements. Some records of flow and temperatures during the warm weather must also be made. Natural brood ponds made by dams on the headwaters of the Tusket were investigated. ' These ponds were not all established with the intention of improving angling, but as storages for small lumbering operations, etc. They carry great quantities of trout. It is of interest to note that, when the water was run off the flowage areas of these ponds, no fish were trapped, and nearly all the larvae of aquatic insects appeared able to retreat to deeper water from the drying zones. This was due to the slow rate at which the ponds were lowered. In Sullivans, Payson's and Klondike fiowages (the natural ponds mentioned above), large numbers of "well-conditioned speckled trout were found to be inhabiting water of a pH below 5.4. The Saint John branch of the New Brunswick Fish and Game Protective Association, in conjunction with the Loch Lomond Protective Association, established a natural rearing pond for speckled trout on Stevenson's brook, Loch Lomond, a site suggested by the writer to Doctor A. G. Huntsman. The associations mentioned above spent a considerable sum of money in purchasing the necessary land and building a suitable dam to flood it. The pond, completed late in the fall, covers about 15 acres and has been stocked with large speckled trout fingerlings from the St. John hatchery. At St. Stephen the local branch of the provincial association built a pond about one-quarter of an acre in area. This pond was deepened and cleaned in the autumn of 1933. The St. Andrews branch of the New Brunswick Fish and Game Protective Association established a small rearing pond 150 feet by 5 feet on a spring brook feeding Limeburner lak.e, This water was stocked with 2,000 speckled trout fingerlings. In the fall, 500 of these fingerlings averaging three inches in length were liberated in Limeburner lake. A number of fish were left in the pond in order that their actions during the winter might be observed. Notwithstanding continued sub-zero weather, the pond was still open on December 19. It is to be enlarged during the coming season when it will also be covered with wire as a protection against kingfishers. A small allotment of fingerling was placed in a 20 by 8 foot pond on the brook feeding Bonaparte lake. The fish appeared to thrive without being fed, but unfortunately an early freshet destroyed the pond, vehich \vill not be rebuilt. An examination was made of a number of pond sites suggested by the Fredericton and Moncton branches of the Provincial Protective Association. None of them however fulfilled requirements. Additional sites suggested by the secretary will be examined next spring. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 85

• The Nova Scotia Fish and Game Protective Association through Doctor Pales, in conjunction with the Provincial Government of Nova Scotia and divers municipal boches, completed a group of rearing ponds for landlocked salmon at the head of Grand lake, Nova Scotia. As these ponds were completed late in the year, they have not yet been used. The co-operation of the Chief Supervisor of Fisheries, and some of his officers, provincial officers, and divers branches of the fish and game protective associations in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia has in many ways benefited the department's fish cultural branch and is greatly appreciated. The department's staff in its several Maritime establishments as a whole rendered excellent service. They displayed interest and intelligence in carrying out their duties. ANTIGONISH HATCHERY K. G. Shillington, Superintendent An excellent distribution was made of Atlantic salmon, speckled trout, rainbow trout and brown trout fry and fingerlings, also some Atlantic salmon, rainbow and speckled trout yearlings. The best previous collection of speckled trout eggs at any hatchery in the Maritimes was greatly exceeded; the brood stock of this species at this establishment produced 7,026,668 eggs. Two new ponds of the circular type were constructed close to the river bank. They are operating most successfully and, at the end of 1933, carried several thousand speckled trout fingerlings from 7 to 8 inches in length. The superintendent introduced an interesting innovation in the form of a movable spawning shelter. This is moved over the ponds where stripping operations are being carried out and permits this work to be done under comfortable conditions even in the coldest weather. Heavy spates prevented a good collection of speckled trout eggs at Lochaber lake, the streams in the district over- flowing their banks as well as the traps and fences in them. Selective breeding was practised at this establishment. Breeding from hatchery-reared stock of speckled trout produced fingerling fish bigger than those produced from eggs obtained from trout that had come to the spawning stage in their natural habitat. Weights of 100 fingerlings were taken in September- those produced from wild stock (Lochaber lake) weighed 7t1 ounces while those from selected parents reared at the hatchery weighed 501.E ounces. During the season the following numbers of eggs were collected by the staff of this hatchery: Speckled trout, hatchery ponds, 7,026,668; Lochaber lake, 61,625; South river (sea-run variety), 4,455; Atlantic salmon, South river, 32,200; rainbow trout, hatchery ponds, 22,960. The following numbers of eggs were also received: 75,000 rainbow trout and 188,300 brown trout from Saint John; 1,638,000 Atlantic salmon from River Philip. Outgoing shipments were: 250,000 speckled trout to Yarmouth; 100,000 speckled trout to Lindloff and 200,000 Atlantic salmon to Lindloff. The distributions were: Atlantic salmon 1,491,393, speckled trout 811,041, rainbow trout 89,364, and brown trout 164,757.

BEDFORD HATCHERY George Heatley, Superintendent A. good distribution of fingerlings, larger than that of any previous year, was made from the Bedford hatchery during the past season. An effort to collect landlocked salmon eggs in the Grand lake district was not successful. This, however could not be avoided in view of the unusual freshet conditions that obtained' generally throughout the Maritime Provinces 86 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES last autumn. The apron, piers and fence which were erected in the Shubenacadie river near the outlet were entirely covered by the flood water, which also covered some area on lboth banks of the river, although the fence was built slightly above ordinary high-water mark. A trap was also installed in the upper part of the fish ladder in the new dam that was built at Fletcher's run at the upper end of Grand lake. For the same reason, a smaller collection of Atlantic salmon eggs, namely 842,600, than that of the preceding year was made in the Sackville river near Bedford. A fence was erected in the channel leading to Roy's pond to prevent the fish passing around the dam, and horizontal racks were installed over the apron of the main dam. These precautions proved quite satisfactory until the entire area was completely flooded in the early part of October. Large numbers of fish were in evidence in Bedford basin prior to the freshets, but during the high water, the fences and barriers above referred to were no obstruction to the upstream passage of the fish. These were completely flooded and the water rose to such a height that boats were used as a means of transportation on at least one of the roads adjacent to the river. A considerable amount of work was done to the canal which was used as a retaining pond for parent salmon, and eight concrete rearing ponds were constructed on the hatchery grounds. Due to distributions from this hatchery, excellent fishing is now enjoyed in Hart's lake on the borders of Colchester and Cumberland counties. Previous to these introductions, this lake contained no speckled trout. The following supplies of eggs were laid down in the Bedford hatchery during 1933: Atlantic salmon, Sackville river, 842,600; River Philip, 791,000; speckled trout, Antigonish hatchery, 1,000,000; Loch Leven trout, Bozeman, Montana, 302,000; landlocked or sebago salmon, Saint John, New Brunswick, 75,000. Distributions for the season were: Atlantic salmon, 1,240,565; salmon trout, 115,000; speckled trout, 988,411; landlocked salmon, 28,000.

MARGAREE HATCHERY L. J. Burton, Superintendent A small collection of 73,940 speckled trout eggs was made in the hatchery ponds. Two million and ninety-two thousand Atlantic sahnon eggs were received in November and December from the Margaree salmon pond, and 800,000 in February from the Kelly% Pond hatchery. Distributions for the season were: Atlantic salmon, 2,962,937; speckled trout, 35,220.

LINDLOFF HATCHERY J. C. Goswell, Officer in Charge Lindloff hatchery, subsidiary to Margaree, received the following eggs, all in the eyed stage: 500,000 Atlantic salmon from the Miramichi hatchery and 200,000 from the Antigonish hatchery; 200,000 rainbow trout from the Saint John hatchery; 100,000 speckled trout from the Antigonish hatchery. Distribu- tions were: 650,000 Atlantic salmon; 156,040 rainbow trout; 75,155 speckled trout. For the first time, speckled trout fingerlings were reared at this establishment. Considerable trouble was experienced in maintaining an adequate water supply in the long earthen ponds. This was due to recurring leaks in the old mill dam. This difficulty has been overcome. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 87 MARGAREE SALMON RETAINING POND J. P. Chiasson, Superintendent For the second successive year, early running, or June, salmon were purchased from the commercial nets outside the Margaree harbour and retained in a pound-net pot in the harbour during the summer months. The percentage of loss was very low and there was a vast improvement over the results that were obtained during the previous year in the permanent pond at Buckle's cove. One hundred and eighty-eight early fish were impounded, of which 176 were stripped in the autumn. The balance of 12 did not all die but were liberated on showing signs of increasing distress shortly after their capture. One hundred and thirty-six salmon were also taken in the autumn but, as elsewhere, heavy freshets proved a great handicap, putting the trap out of commission and damag- ing it to such an extent that it could not be replaced. Early running salmon, 176 in number, produced 1,019,000 eggs, and late running 1,073,000, all of which were laid down in the -Margaree hatchery. MIDDLETON HATCHERY F. M. Millett, Superintendent A satisfactory distribution was made from the Middleton hatchery and many favourable comments have been heard on the result of its operations. It was from this plant that speckled trout were distributed in Romsey, Sand, Lily, Waterloo, and Elliott lakes, in which excellent catches have been taken during the past season. Fish of 5 pounds in weight are reported from Romsey lake. During 1933, 1,045,500 Atlantic salmon eggs were received from Nictaux pond, 280,500 from River Philip camp, and 772,000 speckled trout eggs from the Antigonish hatchery. The general public is taking a greatly increased interest in its operations and the Fish, Forest and Game Protective Associations are co-operating. An increased number of applications is ,being received each year and, while it is impossible, owing to the large territory that this hatchery covers, to distribute the numbers that the department would like to, yet in most of the waters stocked the fishing is reported as being improved. A larger run of smolt is reported, particularly in the Nictaux and Annapolis rivers. Distributions were: Atlantic salmon, 798,400, and speckled trout, 603,513.

NICTAIIX SALMON RETAINING POND J. W. HeatIev, Officer in Charge The run of Atlantic salmon that passed the Nictaux falls to the Nictaux salmon retaining pond in 1933 was considerably smaller than the runs of the two previous years. All were captured and held in excellent condition until the autumn. These fish yielded an unusually large number of first-class eggs, the quantity obtained being nearly double the number that was expected on the basis of the last two seasons. The total collection of 1,045,000 was laid down in the Middleton hatchery. Twenty outside rearing troughs supplied with water from the canal were installed below the power dam. These troughs gave excellent results, producing 28,000 No. 2 and 16,500 No. 3 Atlantic salmon fingerlings. RIVER PHILIP EGG COLLECTING CAMP F. M. Millett, Superintendent The discarded upper dam that was one time operated by the Oxford Light and Power Company with its fishway is used for the capture of parent salmon 88 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES at this point. As this dam is not in regular use, it is not kept in repair and considerable work was necessary in removing debris from the fishway, erecting fences and otherwise preparing for the season's collection of eggs. All preliminary work of this nature was done by Superintendent Heatley of the Bed- ford hatchery. The capture of parent fish and the collection of eggs was undertaken by Superintendent Millett of the Middleton hatchery. As elsewhere in the Maritime Provinces, this work was done under very adverse weather conditions. Repeated heavy freshets, with intervals of extremely cold weather, rendered the operations very difficult. The retaining fence was washed away twice, and over 1,000 fish taken early in the season escaped when the river flooded out that portion of the canal which is used as a retaining pond. For eight days during the heaviest part of the run, the stream was so high that the Oxford dam presented no barrier to as.cending fish, which merely swam over it instead of going into the trap. It is estimated that at least 5,000 salmon reached the headwaters. In spite of these difficulties, 865 salmon vv-ere retained in the pond and stripped. The resulta.nt collection of eggs namely 4,635,900, which creates a record for this station, was distributed as iollows: To Antigonish hatchery, 1,638,000; Bedford, 791,000; Middleton, 280,500; Yarmouth, 748,000; Mira- michi, 1,178,400. YARMOUTH HATCHERY H. V. Gates, Superintendent The general output from the Yarmouth hatchery was good, a larger number of yearling and older fish being produced than at any other hatchery in the Maritime Provinces. The hatchery ponds produced 413,000 speckled trout eggs, and 3,000 rainbow trout eggs, which were supplemented by 200,000 rainbow trout eyed eggs from the Cape Cod Trout Company, 250,000 speckled trout eyed eggs and 935,000 speckled trout green eggs from the Antigonish hatchery, 748,000 Atlantic salmon eggs, green, from the River Philip pond and 750,000 speckled trout eggs, eyed, from the American Fish Culture Company. While the concrete ponds of this hatchery have yielded excellent results in raising large quantities of fingerlings and yearlings, they have not been as successful in producing adult trout of good quality. Consequently, the hatchery brook was subdivided into a series of ponds in which the adult fish appeared to thrive better. While no proof exists that this year's improved speckled trout angling in the Yarmouth district was the outcome of hatchery stocking, yet there can be no reasonable doubt that such was the case. Members of the Yarmouth branch of the Nova Scotia Fish and Game Protective Association expressed themselves as being delighted with the improved early trout fishing. An exhibit of live fish was made at the Yarmouth Exhibition, September 27 to 29 comprised of Atlantic salmon, rainbow and speckled trout in various stages of development from fingerlings to four-year-old fish. Distributions for the season were: Atlantic salmon, 696,000; speckled trout, 504,585; rainbow trout, 120,500; Kamloops trout, 1,000.

FLORENCE VILLE HATCHERY George Sutherland, Superintendent Three hundred thousand eyed speckled trout eggs, originally purchased from the Cape Cod Trout Company, were transferred to this hatchery from Grand Falls in February. Two hundred and fifty thousand were also received from the American Fish Culture Company in December. One million two hundred and ninety-eight thousand eight hundred and twenty-four Atlantic salmon REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTE1? 89 eggs were received from the Saint John pond in November, and up to December 31, 957,266 speckled trout eggs were collected in the hatchery ponds. Distributions for the season were: Atlantic salmon, 1,696,283; speckled trout, 881,324. GRAND FALLS HATCHERY W. A. 1V/cChtskey, Superintendent The operations at this establishment continue to improve. A late output of salmon fingerlings was of exceptionally fine quality; The Superintendent made an initial but satisfactory collection of 393,316 speckled trout eggs in Three Brooks deadwater, the property of Mr. Donald Fraser of Plaster Rock. Collecting operations were carried on under extremely bad weather conditions, the freshets of early October being followed by snow and ice the latter part of the month. The department supplied an experienced hatchery man. Mr. Fraser supplied retaining crates and such assistance as was needed. The department transported the eggs to Grand Falls hatchery, where they were eyed, and purchased 200,000 of these eggs from Mr. Fraser when they had reached the eyed stage. The balance will be retained at the hatchery until they are free- swimming fry, when they will be placed at Mr. Fraser's disposal to be distributed in the ponds or otherwise disposed of by him. Three hundred thousand speckled trout eggs were , received in February from the Florence-ville hatchery and 1,000,000 in December from the American Fish Culture Company. The season's supply of Atlantic salmon eggs from the Saint John pond, namely, 1,270,260, were received in October and November. Distributions amounted to: Atlantic salmon, 1,841,422; speckled trout, 905,419.

TOBIQUE HATCHERY R. O. Barrett, Officer in Charge The Tobique hatchery, subsidiary to Grand Falls, which was established to facilitate the distribution of salmon in the Tobique river, which is the most important spaWning tributary of the St. John river system, received its supply of salmon eggs, 600,000, from the Miramichi hatchery. Of this number-471,172 were hatched and distributed.

MIRAMICHI HATCHERY AND SALMON RETAINING POND Frank Burgess, Superintendent An effort was made for the second consecutive season to retain early or June salmon in the pond that had been dredged the previous year in the hatchery brook near its outlet to the Miramichi river. Twenty-five selected salmon were purchased from commercial fishermen and placed in this enclosure between June 5 and 15. Although the greatest care was exercised in selecting the fish and they were placed in the pond in apparently perfect condition, none of them survived until the autumn. In accordance with the usual practice, 1,712 salmon secured by tender and contract from commercial fishermen were placed in the pond between September 12 and October 23, but unfortunately a high tide accompanied by a very heavy northeast October gale caused the retaining fence to move slightly, but to a sufficient extent to permit most of these fish to escape. This occurred so late in the season that it was impracticable to secure other salmon as they had at that time dispersed to the spawning grounds at the headwaters of the Miramichi and its numerous tributaries. The collection of eggs, amounting to 1,002,128, was consequently very much smaller than that of recent years. This collection was supplemented by 90 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES receipt of 1,178,400 Atlantic salmon eggs in November from River Philip camp. Through an exchange agreement with the United States Bureau of Fisheries 1,000,000 Atlantic salmon eggs were shipped to Craig Brook hatchery, Maine, on February 28. Other outgoing shipments of eyed eggs of this species in March and April were: To Tobique hatchery, 600,000; Lindloff hatchery, 500,000; Restigouche hatchery, 600,000. Distributions were: Atlantic salmon, 3,854,200; speckled trout, 114,107.

NEW MILLS SALMON RETAINING POND

-WM. White, Superintendent Largely on account of a run of female salmon smaller than usual the egg collection at the New Mills pond was slightly below normal. Considerable trouble was experienced in keeping the salmon in good condition in the pond during August. A drought at this time entirely dried up the feeder brook. This condition was aggravated by a run of neap tides which for some days did not reach the pond at high water. When the first fish showed signs of distress an attempt was made to improve conditions by removing part of them to pontoons which were to be moored in sea water. This proposal was found to be impracticable because sea water of sufficient depth to insure cool- ness could only be found in exposed portions of the bay. The total loss of salmon was not, however, nearly as great as was feared, or as might have been expected when the conditions were at their worst. The loss of twenty-eight during the season is attributed to unfavourable water conditions in the pond, and the loss of twelve to the effect of injuries. Four hundred and eighty-seven salmon purchased from the commercial fishermen of the district were placed in the pond from May 24 to July 8. The total yield of 1,350,131 eggs was laid down in the Restigouche hatchery.

RESTIGOUCHE HATCHERY W. A. Mowat, Superintendent Under unusually cold weather conditions, a small collection of speckled trout eggs amounting to 53,774 was made at Black lake near Campbellton. While the size of this collection was much smaller than had been anticipated, the parent fish were of unusually fine quality. From Miramichi hatchery 600,000 Atlantic salmon eyed eggs were received in March and in April 593,670 of these were shipped to the subsidiary hatchery at Nipisiguit. In October and November 1,350,131 Atlantic salmon eggs were received from New Mills salmon pond. Distributions were: Atlantic salmon, 1,927,656; speckled trout, 112,430.

NIPISIGUIT HATCHERY J. T. Comeau, Officer in Charge The Nipisiguit hatchery, subsidiary to Restigouche, which was primarily established to facilitate the stocking of the Nipisiguit river, received 593,670 Miramichi river eggs from the Restigouche hatchery. The distribution amounted to 337,719 Atlantic salmon. SAINT JOHN HATCHERY J. D. Nichol, Superintendent This hatchery had a very satisfactory season. Included in the distributions was a group of speckled trout fingerlings of a size and quality not previously equalled at Saint John. They were liberated in the natural rearing pond on REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 91 Stephenson's brook, recently, completed by the Loch Lomond Protective Asso- ciation and the Saint John branch of the New Brunswick Fish und Game Pro- tective Association. A small but valuable group of two-year-old salmon (Salmo salar crossed with Salmo salar sebago) from one-quarter pound to one-half pound in weight were liberated in Chamcook lake on October 19. These hybrids were produced in two ways, namely crossing the Atlantic male with the sebago female and crossing the Atlantic female with the sebago male. Before liberation, one group was marked by removal of the adipose fin and the other by removing the left pectoral and adipose fins. Three specimens were caught later in the season. The demand from this district for speckled trout is annually increasing. At the request of local interests the brown trout brood stock, which was developed for the purpose of establishing the species in Loch Lomond, was liberated, thus affording greater space for the production of speckled trout fingerlings and adults. The Fish and Game Protective Association rendered valuable aid in dis- tributing the season's output by- supplying guides, boats, and other assistance. A collection of eggs in the autumn was made under rather difficult conditions due to early snow and frost, which entailed removal of ice from the ponds before the fish could be captured. The following supplies of eggs were obtained from the hatchery ponds: Speckled trout, 1,169,146; brown trout hybrids, 27,136; Loch Leven trout, 2,340; brown trout albinos, 7,256; rainbow trout, 424,870. Rainbow trout eggs were eyed und 200,000 transferred to Lind loff hatchery and 75,000 to Antigonish hatchery. Other outgoing shipments were: 75,000 sebago salmon to Bedford hatchery; 188,300 brown trout to Antigonish hatchery; 65,010 speckled trout, Atlantic and landlocked salmon to the Biological Station at St. Andrews, New Brunswick. The collection of landlocked or sebago salmon eggs was continued in the Chamcook lakes under the direction of Assistant R.. O. Barrett of the Grand Falls hatchery, who made observations over the whole of the upper lake and a portion of the lower lake, which resulted in the locating of six spawning beds in the upper and two in the lower lake. One hundred and sixty-four fish were caught as compared with 156 last year. From these 279,290 eggs were obtained, of which 277,290 were transferred to the Saint John hatchery and 2,000 to the Atlantic Biological Station at St. Andrews. On October 31, 823,556 Atlantic salmon eggs were received from the Saint John salmon pond. Distributions for the year were: Atlantic salmon, 632,781; Atlantic salmon hybrids, 134; brown trout, 114,950; brown trout albinos, 785; brown trout hybrids, 48,341; landlocked salmon, 56,470; landlocked salmon hybrids, 155; Loch Leven trout, 20,761; rainbow trout, 27,580; speckled trout, 763,936.

SAINT JOHN SALMON RETAINING POND J. D. Nichol, Superintendent The collection of salmon eggs at the Saint John pond was rather disappointing, largely due to the heavy loss of salmon caused by unfavourable conditions during the warm weather. The yield of the females that were stripped was also below the average. The first salmon was placed in the pond on May 29 and the last on June 24, a total of 1,215 being impounded. The collection of 3,442,640 eggs, which was approximately one-half that of last year, was distributed as follows: Florenceville hatchery, 1,298,824; Grand Falls hatchery, 1 ,270,260; Saint John hatchery, 823,556; Biological Board, St. Andrews, New Brunswick, 49,000; Biological Board, Toronto, Ontario, 1,000. 92 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES KELLY'S POND HATCHERY AND MORELL SALMON RETAINING POND F. C. Hayley, Superintendent Thirty-four thousand eyed speckled trout eggs were purchased from the Ings private hatchery in April. In the following autumn the collection of speckled trout eggs was confined to the hatchery and Ings pond. In the case of the former, the veork was done by the hatchery staff, and in the latter by the proprietor. Ings pond supplied 124,200 eggs which will be paid for in 1934 on the basis of number of eggs that eye. Three 'hundred trout were nught with rod and line and retained in a small pond below the dam at the hatchery until ripe and 79 were taken in trap on brook at head of pond. Forty-seven thousand four hundred and forty-one eggs were secured. It was proposed to liber- ate these fish in lake Verd and Sherrys brook, but, owing to road conditions, this was found to be impractical after the fish were stripped. They were consequently returned to the hatchery pond. In February 800,000 Atlantic salmon eyed eggs were transferred to Margaree hatchery. Operations at the Morell salmon retaining pond were in charge of Assistant A. Tait. The trap and retainers were in place by October 1 and, although a few fish had already ascended, 1,124 salmon were captured between October 11 and November 13. Of this number 441 were surplus males and were liberated unstripped between November 7 and December 4 above the trap. Six hundred and seventy-one fish were stripped and yielded 2,720,600 eggs, which were all laid down in Kelly's Pond hatchery. - Unusually- cold and stormy weather und high tides were experienced and the river was frozen over almost continuously throughout stripping operations. This made the work of lifting the nets and handling the fish very difficult so it became necessary to remove the fish to wooden crates on November 16. Distributions made were: Atlantic salmon, 1,088,554; speckled trout, 351,643.

WESTERN DIVISION District Supervisor of Fish Culture, C. TV. Harrison The run of sockeye salmon to the coastal waters of British Columbia in the season 1933 was disappointing. This condition was reflected in the collections of eggs at all but one sockeye salmon hatchery in the province. Rivers Inlet establishment secured its 11111 quota but the total collection of sockeye salmon eggs at all stations where this variety of Pacifie coast salmon is handled was 52,925,300, às against 113,970,724 and 87,277,285 eggs, respectively, in the brood years of 1928 and 1929. Had all conditions been favourable, natural reproduction in conjunction with the huge artificial assistance given in the brood years should have produced a far greater return of adult sockeye salmon in the 1933 season. That unknown part of their life spent in salt water was apparently responsible for a huge loss, which might explain the pack of 1933. Spring salmon collections were secured and laid down in Cowichan lake, Ri-vers Inlet, Anderson lake hatcheries and Sproat River eyeing station. The total number of eggs of this variety obtained was 1,737,885 as compared with 2,525,340 in 1932 and 2,156,150 in 1931. In this connection there were noticeable decreases in the numbers secured at the two first-named stations and increases in the collections at Anderson and Sproat river establishments. A collection of coho salmon eggs numbering 1,044,000 was also laid clown in Cowichan lake hatchery. During the past year a number of experiments in connection with fish culture was conducted at different establishments in the province as follows:— Tests to determine whether the use of trough riffles gave better results than troughs operated without such equipment.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 93 Tests of this nature made at Smiths Falls hatchery in 1931-32 by officers of the Biological Board would indicate that the best results are secured by the use of riffles. Later experiments conducted by hatchery officers would appear to indicate that there is very little difference in results obtained as between the two methods when the troughs are carrying a light or normal load of eggs, although it is generally conceded that a distinct benefit is derived from the use of riffles when heavy loads of eggs are carried or a subnormal oxygen saturation of the water supply is the case. Another interesting experiment that was undertaken at Cultus lake, Rivers Inlet and Smiths Falls hatcheries was to determine whether or not there is any change in size of sockeye salmon eggs during the period of incubation between the time they are laid down as water-hardened eggs and when they are near the point of hatching out. The results secured by the several officers conducting this experiment show a distinct change in the number of eggs that the same measuie will hold at the beginning and the end of the period in question. In all instances the measures were found to hold a smaller number of eggs of the same species at the end than they did at the beginning of the period, which demonstrates the necessity for accurate counts of the contents of the measure to be used when eggs are received or shipped at different stages of development. Another interesting experiment that was undertaken at several hatcheries was to determine what becomes of eggs that remain in sockeye salmon that are liberated after they have been stripped by the expression method. This experiment was conducted at Kennedy lake, Anderson lake, Rivers Inlet, Pemberton and Babine lake hatcheries. At the first-named station, eight pairs of sockeye salmon were placed in separate enclosures, the females having first - been stripped by hand pressure, and were left therein undisturbed until they were dead. After death the females were cut open and all eggs remaining in them were counted. Later the gravel in each enclosure was carefuly examined and all eggs found, both dead and alive, were recorded. The same procedure was followed at each of the other stations mentioned but with varying numbers of fish to suit the available accommodation, The following tables give the results obtained at each station mentioned above:.— KENNEDY LAKE HATCHERY

A general survey of the above would seem to show that hand-stripped sockeye when liberated proceed to complete their spawning probably as well as sockeye that have never been handled. In accordance with the program for the introduction of brown trout to streams on Vancouver Island, 300,000 eggs were received from Montana in December, 1932, and the resultant fingerlings marked and liberated in the waters of the two streams selected, namely, Cowichan and Little Qualicum. These iish were liberated in the spring and averaged 5 inches in length. Speci- mens captured last fall in the vicinity of the Cowichan hatchery had attained a length of 9 to 10 inches. The Provincial Game Commission secured 100,000 Atlantic salmon eggs from Scotland, and having no facilities of its own at the time to take care of incubation and distribution, the eggs were laid down in Cowichan lake hatchery. A part of the resultant fry was liberated in the Cowichan lake system when at the free swimming stage of development; the remainder was retained and fed in ponds through the winter of 1933-34 and will be released in the spring or early summer of 1934. The results secured from the small retaining tank installed at Cultus lake hatchery in 1932 were particularly gratifying. Originally 19,600 steelhead fry were placed therein, and periodically during the summer and fall of 1932, this number was reduced as conditions demanded. Four thousand were retained through the winter and liberated in early summer of 1933. These had then attained a length of five to seven inches. The results were so satisfactory that the Provincial Game Commission, who contemplated the establishment of a rearing station at Stanley park, decided to alter their original plans and install a battery of these small tanks. This plant was designed by the fish cultural branch of the department and its engineer supervised construction; also an experienced fish cultural officer was loaned to the Commission for about three REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 95 and one-hall months to conduct operations until it could secure a competent man to take his place. The department also supplied 100,000 Kamloops trout eggs and 25,000 steelhead advanced fry. The first named were transferred from Penask lake .hatchery and the latter from CoWichan lake hatchery. In the spring of 1933, under the direct supervision of the department's engineer, the Provincial Game Commission rebuilt the retaining pond system at Qualicum. Five ponds of similar design to those in operation at Cowichan lake hatchery were constructed. An arrangement was made whereby the Com- mission agreed to place four of -these ponds at the disposal of the department for the purpose of rearing the brown trout fry allotted to the Little Qualicum river in return for the loan of two ponds at Cowichan lake hatchery for rearing Atlantic salmon fry. The Commission assumed all expense in connection with the Qualicum operations and this department in a similar manner cared for the Atlantic salmon at Cowichan. The Provincial Game Commission has been most appreciative of the assistance and co-operation afforded by this department in connection with the development of its fish cultural service. Unfortunately, owing to adverse climatic conditions which were responsible for the complete disorganization of the water supply of the Lardo hatching station, it was impossible to operate this establishment as contemplated, and as an alternative floating hatching baskets were provided, but owing to all streams in the district being in freshet condition, the results obtained from this method of incubation were not at all that might be desired. In accordance with the urgent request of interested anglers, a more intensive program of fish cultural operations was initiated at Beaver lake, near Kelowna, British Columbia. The work done was of an experimental nature to determine the future possibilities for securino- a satisfactory collection of Kam- loops trout eggs that would justify a continuation of operations in future seasons on a much larger scale. Although the attempt was not quite as successful as expected, it was sufficiently encouraging to justify a continuation of these operations this coming season on a somewhat larger scale, and to ensure greater success, considerable preliminary work was done in connection with clearing streams and construction and installation of more reliable traps and fences. In recent years the Department of Fisheries, through its Fish Cultural branch, has increased extensively its activities in connection with sporting fish operations. Improved travelling conditions in British Columbia and fairly easy access to many bodies of water that previously were difficult to reach, and also as a greater attraction to the very valuable tourist trade, has made it imperative that many lakes that previously were in isolated positions should receive artificial assistance to ensure the maintenance of their fish population. Splendid success has been achieved by transferring sporting fish eggs and fry from lakes and streams where there was an overabundanc.e of native stock, to many other bodies of water that required such efforts to supply the demands of the public. Each year unassailable evidence has been forthcoming of the success secured. Particularly is this the case in connection with the many barren lakes in this province. Beaver lake is a case in point and other outstanding successses are lakes in Strathcona park on the Forbidden plateau near Court- enay, B.C., the elevation of which is about four thousand feet above sea level. There are many lakes in this system, all of which, until 1929, were barren of fish life. In June, 1929, 90,000 eyed eggs were successfully planted followed in 1930 and 1931 by further shipments of 200,000 Kamloops trout eggs each year, and by 250,000 in 1932. No angling was allowed until the summer of 1932 when the lakes were officially opened to sportsmen by the Attorney General of British 96 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Columbia, the Honourable R. H. Pooley, K.C. Since that time these lakes have become an angler's paradise; sportsmen visiting this district have unani- mously and enthusiastically expressed their gratification of the results secured. In the summer of 1933 fish six pounds in weight were captured and specimens of Kamloops trout that had spawned naturally in the spring of 1933 were forwarded to the Pacific Biological Station at Nanaimo, thus showing that these lakes originally stocked by artificial effort have become self supporting. With reasonable protection, they should maintain an abundant supply of trout for the future without fish cultural assistance. Another case of a somewhat similar nature where outstanding success has followed the introduction of game fish to a previously barren area is Garibaldi lake situated in one of Canada's national parks—Garibaldi Mountain park. This lake is about five thousand feet above sea level and in 1928, 5,000 Kamloops trout eggs from the Pemberton hatchery were planted in Mimulus creek, a tributary of that lake, followed by 12,500 eggs of the same species in 1929. During the summer of 1933 three fish, each weighing in the neighbourhood of nine pound's, were secured ,by anglers. Some of the fish taken had spawned naturally. Pavilion lake, near Clinton, B.C., was first stocked in 1919 .by the transfer of 2,000 Kamloops trout fry from Paul lake near Kamloops. Further stocking was done in 1924, 1925, 1930, 1932 and 1933; in all, 108,000 eyed eggs were planted in its tributaries in addition to the liberation of the 2,000 fry previously mentioned. Angling conditions have consistently improved and this summer one tourist captured forty-two pounds of Kamloops in one hour, the largest weighing fourteen pounds. Snowshoe lake, Edgewood, B.C., was barren of fish previous to 1926. That year 20,000 eyed Kamloops trout eggs were planted and it is now heavily stocked. Fish up to twenty-four pounds in weight are being taken. Jewel lake. near Greenwood, was first stocked with Kamloops trout in 1925 and additional seeclings made each year until 1932, with the exception of 1931. The quantity of seed introduced in those years totalled 110,000 fry and 80,000 eyed eggs. This lake is intensively fished every summer and good catches secured. One fish captured this summer weighed forty-two pounds. The fishery inspector of Nelson, B.C., reports that fifty barren lakes in his district stocked by the department have in every instance proved successful. The bodies of water mentioned above in which outstanding success has been definitely proved are a comparatively small percentage of the lakes in this province that have been benefited. A number of angling associations in the province have, in the last two years, become interested in co-operative fish culture, particularly in the development of rearing ponds, and every effort has been made by the department to assist them, both by advice and practical help. The Kelowna Rod and Gun Club has developed a series of natural ponds, the water supply for which is obtained from seepage from irrigated lands above, and overflow from other small lakes at a higher elevation. Officers of the department assisted in installing gravel hatching troughs and supplied 140,000 Kam- loops trout eyed eggs and fry from Beaver lake camp, Lloyds creek hatchery, Penask and Summerland. Later it was reported tbat there had been an almost perfect hatch and the fry had passed safely from the gravel to the ponds. Latest information received is that these fish have done exceptionally well and specimens have been submitted six to seven inches in length, and in a 'particularly well fed conditiOn. No artificial food was given and they subsisted solely on natural food produced in the ponds. The local angling association at Princeton, B.C., have also achieved splendid' success in this line. They constructed a dam and crib with rock and earth fill seventy feet in length, eight feet high and six feet wide, enlarged a small REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 97 pond to four and one-half acres and installed another dam across a narrow neck to di-vide into two ponds. Three thousand Kamloops trout fry from the Sum- merland hatchery were liberated therein. There is an abundance of natural food including fresh water shrimps in these ponds and the last reports received are that the fish are making splendid progress and, providing these conditions continue, it is hoped to place in the ponds a much greater allotment next season. The sockeye rearing station at Taft, B.C., was not required by the Bio- logical Board last summer. Therefore the Revelstoke Angling Club was given permission to use it for rearing Kamloops fry. The department transferred from Lloyd's creek station 100,000 Kamloops eyed eggs and the above named organization placed a man in charge and assumed all expenses in connection with the rearing of the resultant fry and their later distribution as fingerlings to Griffin, Victor and Summit lakes. The Cranbrook Rod and Gun Club have entirely taken, over the management of their district fish cultural operations, the department continuing to afford considerable financial assistance by purchasing such eggs as the Club do not require. Every effort has been made during the past year to conform with the demand for the strictest econom-y without impairing the success of fish cultural operations in this division but owing to uncontrollable adverse climatic conditions which were responsible for much damage to the property of the department in some districts, heavy expenditure was imperative for replacements and repairs. Unusual expenses were incurred at Lakelse lake hatchery, where freshets destroyed the retaining pond system and the road near the hatchery; also considerable work on Granite creek was necessary to protect the buildings. Other properties that suffered from the same cause were fences and traps at Quap creek, Owikeno lake and fences at Sweltzer creek, Cultus lake. The pipe line at Cowichan lake hatchery also required renewal. The old pipe line had been in operation for over twenty -years and was in an irreparable .condition. A new fence was also installer! on Tl'ell river, Graham island, Queen Charlotte group. A number of trout fingerlings that were killed in a peculiar manner, not previously known to the department were received from Mr. E. A. Wells who operated a rearing pond on Luckacuck creek near Sardis, B.C. Growing on the sides of the stream is a weed, the Bur-marigold (Stick-tight, Bidens cernua), which sheds barbed seeds. When these fall into the water they are snapped at by the small fish and when the barbs corne in contact with the skin they take hold and the fish die. The fish cultural staff of the Western Division have given most conscien- tious, faithful and unsparing service in the execution of their duties.

ALBERTA BANFF HATCHERY J. E. Martin, Superintendent The Banff hatchery- serves an extensive territory and handles a large number of species of sporting fish. During the calendar year of 1933, a widespread distribution of cutthroat, Loch Leven, rainbow, Eastern brook and salmon trout fry, advanced fry and fingerlings was made in many bodies of water in the province of Alberta. Its operations depend to a large extent on eggs secured by exchange arrangements with the United States Bureau of Fisheries and purchase from commercial firms. The incoming shipments this year consisted of 195,840 salmon trout eggs from Port Arthur hatchery, Ontario, 549,241 rainbow trout eggs and 260,925 speckled trout eggs from Troy, Montana, and 83180-7 98 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

1,311,040 cutthroat trout eggs from Mammoth Hot Springs, Gardiner, Montana. Some 178,800 speckled trout eggs were collected locally at Vermilion lake between October 19 and November 23. The total distribution of all varieties for the year, including fry resultant from eggs received in the fall of 1932; were: cutthroat trout, 1,207,220; Loch Leven, 440,160; salmon trout, 175,154; speckled trout, 191,430, and rainbow trout, 485,195. The angling in the district served by this hatchery is generally considered to have been much improved by the fish cultural operations of this station, and many outstanding examples might be quoted that can justly be placed to the credit of artificial assistance given, e.g., Marvel lake, 22.12W5, originally stocked from the substation at Spray lakes, produces many cutthroat trout, some weighing from four to six pounds; Leman lak.e at the head of the upper Spray river, was stocked from the same source as the one previously mentioned, and fish are reported to be numerous and larger than those mentioned above as secured in Marvel lake; lake O'Hara, 27.17W5, formerly a barren lake, has rainbor-v trout now well established and specimens are taken ùp to two and one- half pounds in weight. All of these lakes are about seven thousand feet above sea level. Shado-w and Herbert lakes were also barren of fish until stocked with cutthroat trout in 1930. Both have been rigidly protected, and it is reported the former now contains fish up to twelve inches in length and the latter up to seventeen inches. Other lakes that have been benefited by assistance from Banff hatchery are Ross, Taylor, Minnewanka, Two Jacks, Boom, Altrude, Mud and Vermilion; also the following named streams: Bow, Elbow and Highwood rivers and Cataract creek. The numerous fish and game organizations have been most generous in their co-operation, •and their help is greatly appreciated. Pack horses have been gratuitously loaned for the purpose of packing fry to outlying waters, by the wardens and forestry branches. The help of the Director of Fisheries and his outside staff is also gratefully acknowledged.

JASPER SUBSIDIARY HATCHERY Last year Amethyst lake in the Tonquin valley received its first planting with Kamloops trout. This stocking was continued in 1933, the eggs, 92,610 in number having been secured in June from Lloyds creek hatchery in British Columbia. Speckled trout and rainbow trout eggs were received late in Decem- ber last year, the former from Rainbow Ranch, Troy, Montana, and the latter through an exchange agreement with the United States Bureau of Fisheries. The following numbers were distributed in 1933: speckled trout, 38,944; rainbow trout, 339,068; Kamloops trout, 83,437.

WATERTON LAKES HATCHERY G. E. Bailey, Superintendent This station, although comparatively recently established, has given splendid service in its district, and all accessible lakes in the Waterton National. Park have been stocked with sporting fish with gratifying results. Its operations also depend largely on eggs secured from other than local sources, and in addition to a small local collection of 28,569 rainbow trout eggs from Cameron lake and 1,939 from brood fish retained in Hatchery creek, 375,000 of the same species were received from Troy, Montana, and 614,400 cutthroat trout eggs from Cranbrook, B.C. Distributions were: cutthroat trout 535,553, and rainbow trout 311,532. Outstanding examples of improved angling conditions in lakes and streams served from Waterton hatchery are: Alderson, Carthew and Crowsnest lakes, and Old Man river, Crowsnest river and Willow creek. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 99

The results secured by fish cultural assistance from Waterton hatchery in the two first-named bodies of water with cutthroat trout are particularly gratifying. They were both barren lakes prior to 1928, but to-day provide very finé angling during the open season. Millen the Carthew lakes were opened to angling in 1932 nearly 1,000 trout were taken in the space of one week. In the Crows- nest district very gratifying results were in evidence from the stocking done from the Waterton hatchery, particularly was this the case in connection with Willow creek and Crowsnest river. In the first named, specimens of rainbow trout were secured measuring sixteen inches in length and the angling generally in both bodies of water showed great improvement over past seasons.

FRASER RIVER WATERSHED • CULTUS LAKE HATCHERY A. Robertson, Superintendent In the spring of 1933 the distribution of sockeye salmon fry resultant from the 1932 collection was successfully accomplished. A total of 4,568,404 was given a widespread distribution around the shores of Cultus lake. In addition, 807,000 sockeye were distributed from the substation at Smiths Falls resulting froin eggs used by the Biological Board in connection with tests to determine the results from the different, methods of stripping the parent sockeye salmon. Last spring an unusually good run of steelhead reached Sweltzer creek and the largest collection to date at this point of eggs of this variety of game fish was secured. It totalled 98,900 eggs. The resultant fry were retained and fed until the end of August when 83,328 well-fed vigorous fingerlings, ranging from one and a third to two and a half inches in length, were liberated in natural ponds tributary to Sweltzer creek. Alter the losses during incubation were deducted, there still remained 10,000 fingerlings which were transferred to the small retaining tank near the hatchery from which such „Œratifying results were secured, during the season 1932-33. Rapid growth of the fingerlings in this tank necessitated a further liberation, and in October and November, 1,550 fingerlings, two to three inches in length, were liberated into Sweltzer creek. Other distributions during the past year were 346 steelhead yearlings ranging from five to seven inches in length, and 3,587 No. 5 fingerlings, five to six inches long in May, making a total distribution of this species of 88,811; cutthroat trout eggs and fry, 169,133; Kamloops trout, 77,975. The eggs of the last-named varieties were received from Cranbrook and Lloyd's creek respectively, and amounted to when received, 170,000 cutthroat and 78,000 Kamloops. Unfortunately, during October and November, an attack of Octomitus salmonis developed amongst the steelhead fingerlings in the small retaining tank, and although a heavy loss was suffered the disease was finally overcome by frequently treating the fish with brine baths. The run of sockeye to this district last fall was disappointing; 3,425 parent fish were counted into Sweltzer creek as against approximately 4,900 in the brood year of 1929. In addition to the number that reached the hatchery fences, it is reported that approximately 10,000 sockeye bearing the Cultus lake mark of 1929, the brood year, have been identified at the canneries by officers of the Biological Board. Thus, a larger proportionate escapement, equal at least to the escapement of the preceding cycle years, seems to be necessary to maintain the sockeye production of this area. The collection of sockeye eggs last fall totalled 4,998,900, and of these, 318,200 green eggs were transferred to the Biological Board for the retaining ponds at Smiths Falls. The program of the board for the current season calls for the planting of eyed eggs in the tributary streams to Cultus lake. Unusually mild climatic 83480-% 100 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES conditions this winter were responsible for the very rapid development of the eggs, consequently, well advanced eggs of the earliest collection were available for disposal much earlier than is usually the case at this station and the disposal of these eggs was commenced December 20. On that date, and December 22, 624,438 well-eyed eggs in splendid condition were planted in Spring creek. Before depositing these eggs that part of the stream most suitable for egg planting purposes was cleared of all debris, and the gravel was spaded over and the running water allowed to wash away the silt and mud it contained; also a huge quantity of new gravel was hauled and evenly distributed over that part of the creek bed in which the eggs were planted. The damage done to the fences on Sweltzer creek in the fall of 1932 was repaired and the fence at the foot of the hatchery pool renewed.

PEMBERTON HATCHERY T. W. Graham, Superintendent Resultant from the collection of 1932, there was available for distribution during the spring of 1933, 21,330,000 sockeye fry. These fry were liberated in the usual way, that is, allowed to leave the incubating troughs when so inclined and pass through a series of small natural ponds to the Birkenhead river. In June, a shipment of 288,000 Kamloops trout eggs was received from Lloyd's creek station. Of these, 150,000 were delivered to other fishery officers and distributed in lakes Horse, Williams, Burns and Kinney in the northern interior of the province and the remainder, numbering 138,000, were laid down in Pemberton hatchery and later planted as eggs or fry as conditions warranted in the different bodies of water in that district. The total distribution of Kamloops trout was 285,950. The run of parent sockeye in the fall of 1933 that reached the Birkenhead river was disappointing, it being the smallest for many years and estimated at about twenty-five per cent of the average for the last three seasons; consequently a comparatively small collection of sockeye eggs was secured last season, totalling 10,680,000. PITT LAKE HATCHERY R. H. Eaton, Superintendent An estimate of the number of parent sockeye that reached the spawning grounds of this district must be of a doubtful nature. Heavy freshets occurred during the collecting period which prevented the capture of the ascending sockeye and consequently, the number of eggs secured was below the hatchery capacity. An additional detrimental factor that will no doubt affect the return of sockeye in the cycle year, is that heavy freshets prevailed after the spawning season which scoured the spawning grounds and very probably destroyed a considerable percentage of the eggs deposited naturally. The collection totalled 2,310,000 sockeye eggs and was secured from 606 females; some 621 males were used for fertilization. A noticeable difference in proportion of sexes was observed in the fish captured, the males predominating in a ratio of three to two. Conditions were particularly unfavourable for a successful collection as on some days when the greatest number of fish was passing up stream it was impossible to operate the nets, otherwise it is considered that had the conditions been more favourable the hatchery would have secured its full complement. The total number of sockeye fry and fingerlings resultant from the fall collection of 1932, liberated in the spring of 1933, was 3,201,825. These were widely distributed in many tributaries to the Upper Pitt river. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 101

In June, 20,000 cutthroat trout eggs were received from Cranbrook and after a normal loss of 190 eggs, the remainder 19,810 eyed eggs were planted in a small tributary to Bernice lake. Some 489 coho were also planted from this establishment. VANCOUVER ISLAND ANDERSON LAKE HATCHERY D. Bothwell, Superintendent Distributions of sockeye and spring salmon eggs, fry and fingerlings resultant from the 1932 collections, were successfully accomplished. All local waters were given adequate attention, and in addition eyed eggs were planted in tributaries to Sproat and Maggie lakes, 2,002,000' and 1,001,000 respectively. The local distributions in Anderson lake and its tributaries during 1933 were 1,995,414 sockeye fry, advanced fry and fingerlings, and 180,448 spring salmon fingerlings. The total distribution of sockeye was 4,998,414 and of spring salmon 180,448. The return of parent sockeye this season to the district was disappointing. It is estimated that only 7,500 adult fish reached Anderson lake waters. A heavy run was expected in -view of the number that returned in the brood year of 1929 and the particularly favourable spawning conditions of that season, consequently the collection of sockeye eggs, namely, 3,256,000, was much below the number usually secured at this establishment. In addition to the collection of the above mentioned variety of Pacific coast salmon, 229,500 spring salmon eggs were obtained from Anderson river, this being over double the number that was secured at this point in 1932. The sub-station on SprOat river was again operated and 464,250 spring salmon eggs were secured, an increase of 27,750 over the number obtained the previous year. Of these, 323,015 were distributed as eyed eggs and 100,000 transferred to Anderson lake hatchery. Three retaining tanks were in operation during the summer and 25,000 spring salmon fry were placed therein. These fish were transferred from the hatchery troughs to the retaining tanks during the first week in May and retained and fed until September 23 and 25. Unfortunately on May 18 and again the following night, an otter entered one of the tanks and destroyed some 5,000 fingerlings. After deduction of normal loss during retention and the number destroyed by the otter, there was available for distribution 18,619 healthy vigorous fingerlings averaging two and three-quarter inches in length. These were liberated in the Anderson river from which the eggs had originally been secured Maggie lake, emptying into Alberni canal, is a small lake approximately three miles in length and half a mile wide, having on the outlet stream a waterfall approximately twenty feet in height; consequently at no time have any Pacific coast salmon been able to reach its spawning grounds. Tidewater reaches to near the foot of the falls. In 1929 slightly over one million sockeye eggs were planted in tributaries of Maggie lake the intention being to later install a fishway if results justified the expense. Returning adult fish were expected last season and district fishery officers were on the lookout for them. eight sockeye were observed at the foot of the falls on july 11. Some years ago similar efforts were made to establish a run of sockeye in the waters of Great Central lake and to rehabilitate the Sproat lake area. This was entirely successful and in recent years heavy runs of sockeye have returned to these systems. A somewhat, less commercial catch was secured than in 1932, 60,000 sockeye as against 77,000 in the last named year. The escapement to the spawning areas of both lakes was reported to have been all that could be desired. There appears to be no doubt but that the department's fish cultural efforts are responsible for the development of these exceptionally gratifying conditions in connection with the sockeye returns to these two lakes. 102 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

KKNNEDY LAKE HATCHERY 1V. P. Forsythe, Superintendent In accordanée with the practice of recent years, all fry resultant from the 1932 collection were transferred from the hatching troughs to retaining ponds, and fed for greater or lesser periods before release; then, as conditions demanded, they were given a widespread distribution by scow and natural release to 'beaches and tributaries of Kennedy lake. The total number retained for feeding was 5,357,489, and of that number a loss is recorded during retention of 10,555; thus, 5,346,934 sockeye advanced fry and fingerlings were available for liberation. , In addition to the above, 1,038,795 eyed eggs were planted in Muriel lake and 947,180 in the Upper Kennedy river. Thus the seeding of the district from - the collection of 1932 of sockeye eggs, fry and fingerlings totalled 7,332,909. Fry resultant from the collection of 1932 before transfer to the retaining ponds, were fed for some time on screened herring meal before the total absorp- .. tion of the food sac, and all such fry showed a marked increase in size and general condition over those of the same age and stage of development not given artificial food but allowed to develop in the natural way and depend for sub- . . sistence on nature's provision of their food sac. The return of parent sockeye to this district, considering all spawning areas, was somewhat disappointing, in view of the heavy seeding and favourable conditions of the brood year of 1929. The total number of parent fish that returned is estimated at approximately 18,000. The early run to Clayoquot river veas greater than in any previous year and to the Upper Kennedy river about the same as in the brood year 1929, but the late run did not materialize to the extent expected. The return to all spawning areas of the district in 1929 is estimated to have totalled approximately 23,000 fish; thus, the run of this season shows a decrease of approximately 5,000 sockeye from that of the brood year. A total of 3,368,800 sockeye eggs consisting of 540,000 from early- run fish and 2,828,800 from the late run WaS obtained as against 7,715,300 the previous season and 7,492,000 in the brood' year of 1929. : A factor that to a considerable extent was responsible for the rather disappointing collection was the unequal division of the sexes. The ratio was estimated to be four males to every female; thus it will be appreciated that if an equal division of sexes had returned the collection would have been double that secured. Although the run generally to the district vas less than expected, the number of early run parent fish that reached Clayoquot river was approximately one hundred per cent greater than returned to that stream in the brood year of 1929, from which a collection of 397,000 eggs was secured. The resultant fry were retained and fed in ponds before liberated and this factor may have had considerable bearing on the increase of the number that returned this year, particularly if a comparison is made with the return to the Upper Kennedy river. The return of parent fish to the last mentioned stream was about equal to that of the brood year when no eggs were taken and natural spawning pre- : vailed. Therefore, it would appear reasonable to suppose that the increased run to the Clayoquot river can be attributed to the artificial assistance given in the brood year of 1929. COWICHAN LAKE HATCHERy J. H. Castley, Superintendent The usual varied fish cultural operations as annually carried on at this establishment were undertaken during the calendar year of 1933. Both local and imported stock of commercial and sporting fish were handled. The dis- REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 103 tributions were fry, fingerlings and eyed eggs of spring, coho and Atlantic salmon; steelhead, cutthroat, Kamloops and Loch Leven or brown trout. Of the above named varieties, Kamloops and some cutthroat trout eggs were imported, namely, 142,000 Kamloops trout eggs from Lloyd's creek eyeing station, of which 112,000 were distributed as eyed eggs and 30,000 laid down in Cowichan lake hatchery and later 28,028 resultant fry released in suitable waters as free swimming fry. Some 270,000 cutthroat eggs were received in June from Cranbrook hatchery. Three hundred thousand brown or Loch Leven trout eggs were received from Montana in December, 1932, and the resultant fry were transferred to retaining ponds in the close vicinity of this station and to Qualicum Beach. All resultant fingerlings were retained during the summer, and those in the Quali- cum ponds were marked and liberated in late September and October in the Little Qualicum river and its tributaries. At the close of the calendar year there remained approximately 14,000 Loch Leven trout fingerlings in the retaining ponds at Cowichan hatchery which will the coming spring, then distributed locally. be retained until The local collection of cutthroat trout totalled 73,400 eggs which was over twice the number secured the previous season. In addition to these, 270,000 cutthroat trout eggs, as mentioned above, were purchased from Cranbrook hatchery and a widespread distribution of fry and eyed eggs wa,s made in many bodies of water on Vancouver Island. The steelhead collection totalled 78,200, being approximately fifty per cent of the number secured in 1932. There was an average run of parent steelhead, but owing to high water in the Cowichan river during the collecting period a much smaller collection was secured than anticipated. There was a heavy run of coho salmon to this district, a sufficient number of eggs being secured to fill the accommodation aVailable for this variety of sahnon. The collection of this species totalled 1,044,000 eggs. Generally these fish were the largest in size ever seen in the Cowichan river, some of them weighing twenty pounds. A collection of 684,000 spring salmon eggs was made in the Cowichan river between October 18 and November 14. The Provincial Caine Board secured from Scotland 100,000 Atlantic salmon in January and these were incubated in the Cowichan hatchery. A new pipe line, two thousand feet in length, was laid down to replace the one originally installed twenty-three years ago. Distributions were: Atlantic salmon, 20,000; brown trout, 30,589; cutthroat trout, 328,591; Kamloops trout, 140,028; Loch Leven trout, 163,786; spring salmon, 795,257; steelhead. salmon, 72,587, and coho salmon, 497,227.

SKEENA RIVER WATERSHED BARINE LAKE HATCHERY A. P. Hills, Superintendent The distribution of sockeye fry and fingerlings resultant from the 1932 collection was successfully accomplished, consisting of 4,877,587 fry, 399,714 No. 1 fingerlings, and 608,449 No. 2 fingerlings, making a total of 5,885,750. The run of parent sockeye to Morrison creek, on which this hatchery is situated and from which stream the major collections are usually obtained, was below the run of 1930 but larger than the runs of 193.1 and 1932. It would aPPear from the reports of local officers that a sufficient number of sockeye reached Morrison creek to have more than filled the hatchery to capacity, but many that passed through the lower fence before it was closed did not ascend to the traps and yards some distance above but spawned in the creek betweeri the fences where it is practically impossible to net them, particularly during the higli-water conditions, such as prevailed during the 1933 season. 104 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES An additional factor responsible for the comparatively small collection of sockeye eggs at this station was the failure of parent fish to appear on the spawning grounds at the Babine river at the outlet of Babine lake. In past years when the Morrison creek run has failed, its collection has been augmented at this point. The number of sockeye eggs collected in Morrison creek wa.s 3,552,500 and in Babine river, 114,000, making a total of 3,666,500. A system of retaining ponds in the close vicinity of the hatchery was operated and a total of 1,008.163 No. 1 and No. 2 fingerlings were liberated therefrom early in August. These fish were in good condition and at the time of liberation averaged one and one-half inches in length. At this stage sockeye fingerlings usually increase rapidly in size, but high temperature of the water supply in late July and early August made it ad-visible to give the fish their freedom. LAKELSE LARE HATCHERY C. R. T. Hearn, Superintendent Owing to disastrous freshets in the fall of 1932, about- one-half mile of road in the vicinity of this hatchery was completely destroyed and all fry resultant' from the collection of the pre-vious fall had to be carried past this point. A total of 5,452,874 fry were handled in this manner and distributed in suitable parts of Lakelse lake and its tributaries. The same condition as mentioned above was also responsible for the destruction of about half of the retaining pond system, and no rearing of fry could be undertaken in the remaining ponds owing to their close proximity to the recon- struction work on the road. Again, other abnormal freshets in the fall of 1933 completely obliterated the remainder of the ponds. The run of sockeye salmon to Lakelse lake last fall was slightly better than that of 1928 and 1931, but appreciably less than the number that reached this district in 1929 and 1930. The collection of sockeye eggs totalled 6,300,200, which is considerably less than the annual average for this station, but is approximately one half million more than secured the previous year. The eggs laid down last fall were of exceptionally good quality and a very low percentage of loss was confidently expected, but three stoppages of the water supply caused by severe freshets, are responsible for a slightly higher loss than otherwise would have been the case. A shipment of 40,000 cutthroat trout eggs was received in excellent condition at this station from .Cranbrook on June 16, and in view of heavy blasting during construction of the new road in the vicinity of the hatchery, it was considered imprudent to bring these eggs to the hatchery for incubation. A suitable site was located in a small tributary stream to Lakelse lake, where they were hatched out successfully and 38,700 of the resultant fingerlings were liberated in Granite creek the balance being later transferred to a small retaining tank in the hatchery for the purpose of retention and later distribution as yearlings. Summary of distributions: sockeye salmon, 5;452,874; cutthroat trout, 38,700. MAINLAND WEST COAST RIVERS INLET HATCHERY F. A. Tingley, Superintendent The sockeye salmon spawning grounds of Owikeno lalçe area were well seeded by natural reproduction. Heavy runs of this species occurred in the Wauquash, Cheo and Indian rivers. The total sockeye run to the whole area was well up to the average of the last three years. The majority of sockeye that frequent this particular district are generally conceded to be five-year REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 105

rl fish; therefore the returns to the spawning grounds and the increase in the commercial catch over the brood year would indicate that conditions in 1933 were very gratifying and the run to the district is being well maintained. The records show that the pack for the brood year of 1928 was 60,044 cases, and for 1933, 87,360 cases. Even if consideration is given to the possibility that last season's run contained a fair proportion of four-year fish, the commercial pack for 1933 shows an increase of 21,573 cases over and above what was obta,ined in 1929. In addition to the naturally well seeded spawning areas of the district, the hatchery secured 18,344,900 sockeye eggs. Therefore, it would seem that should no adverse natural condition develop, a heavy return of sockeye salmon should materialize in the cycle year of 1938. The runs to Quap and •Genesi creeks from which the collections for this station are annually secured, were well maintained although only thirty to forty per cent of the seed taken from them each season is returned. An interesting feature of fish cultural work in this district is the condition that has developed in Walkus lake. This body of water is separated from the main system by a waterfall, approximately one hundred feet in height. The lake was barren of fish life until 1922 when 80,000 sockeye eyed eggs were planted in a small tributary stream. This was the first and only planting. The resultant fish have become landlocked and have degenerated into Ken- nerly's or Kokanee variety. This was the only seeding undertaken, therefore, theoretically there should be only natural reproduction in each four or five- year cycle. The unusual feature in this connection is the natural reproduction takes place annually. This fall it is reported that there was a heavier run of landlocked sockeye to the spawning grounds of Walkus lake than ever before, although it was observed that they were much smaller than when first seen in 1929. The run of spring salmon to the Wauquash river was less than half the number that reached this area the previous season, consequently the collection was comparatively small, only 360,135 eggs being secured as against 1,039,240 in 1932, 485,250 in 1931 and 214,500 in 1930. The distribution of sockeye fingerlings, advanced fry and eyed eggs resultant of the collection of 1932 was successfully accomplished. They were liberated and planted in suitable areas and totalled 16,214,212, consisting of 8,455,- 557 fry and 7,758,655 eyed eggs. Also, 894,893 spring salmon fry and fingerlings were liberated in the waters of the district.

SPORT FISH OPERATIONS SOUTHERN INTERIOR NELSON HATCHERY H. C. Crawford, Superintendent The local collections for this station were 351,520 Kamloops trout; 1,250,231 Kennerly's salmon and 280,645 Eastern brook trout eggs. The Kamloops trout eggs were secured during May and June in Cottonwood and Six Mile lakes, the Kennerly's salmon or Kokanee were obtained from Kokanee creek and the Eastern brook trout eggs from Violin lake, near Trail, B.C. In accordance with the present policy to restrict the distribution of the last named variety of sporting fish in the Nelson district and only stock waters in which this species is established, only a limited number of eggs was required, therefore collecting operations were confined to the lake mentioned and no attempt made to secure eggs from Boundary lake from which the major supply has been obtained in recent years. It was considered that the Eastern brook trout eggs froni Violin lake were of better quality than those available at Boundary lake, which is of a stagnant nature, the supply of Eastern brook trout eggs obtained therefrom in recent years having- been of poor quality. 106 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Some 100,000 cutthroat trout eggs purchased from Cranbrook hatchery were received on. July 6. Distributions for the year were cutthroat trout 98,980; Kennerly's salmon 736,907; Kamloops trout 335,105; Eastern brook or speckled trout 130,512.

LARDO HATCHERY H. C. Crawford, Superintendent This subsidiary station was erected at Lardo approximately thirty miles from Gerrard hatchery in 1932 and is situated directly on the shore of Kootenay lake at Lardo, B.C. It was established for the purpose of more economically handling the situation in the upper waters of Kootenay lake as it was considered advisable to annually supply three to five hundred thousand eggs from other collecting camps where they can be secured at a comparatively low cost rather than operate Gerrard hatchery. Thus, this district benefits to a considerable extent, receiving annually a shipment of eggs from other districts and permitting the local fish to deposit their eggs naturally on the spawning- grounds of the Lardeau river. It received 300,000 Kamloops eyed eggs on July 11 from Penask hatchery and made a distribution of 294,200 eggs and fry into Lardeau river and Kootenay lake. Owing to a break in the Canadian Pacific dam on Davis creek which provided water for the hatchery, it was necessary to hatch the fry in floating baskets in the river. Some difficulty was experienced in this regard as at this time the river was in flood and not confined to its banks along the lower reaches. It also contained much floating debris and silt.

PENASK LAKE HATCHERY R. H. Eaton, Superintendent Fish cultural operations at this station were not nearly as successful as those of the previous season. A heavy snowfall during the winter and a late, cold spring were responsible for adverse conditions during the egg-collecting period. Freshets occurred when the Kamloops trout were passing up Penask creek, the stream overflowed its banks at the fences, and the majority of the parent fish escaped the traps. Opposite conditions prevailed at the outlet stream, Spahomin creek, over double the number of eggs being secured over any previous season; 555,000 Kamloops eggs were obtained at this point and 457,000 at Penask creek. In 1932, 3,739,000 eggs were secured frora the last-mentioned stream and 263,000 from Spahomin creek. In view of the heavy natural seeding resulting from the escape of the parent fish, it was not considered necessary to return any of the seed secured to Penask lake, therefore, all of the collection was shipped to other parts of the province. Outgoing shipments were:— Powell lake 40,000 Provincial Government station, Stanley Park 100,000 Lardo hatching station, Kootenay lake 300,000 Beaver lake station, near Kelowna 125,000 Summerland hateherY 268,209 Charlie lake, Peace river district 100,000 Kelowna Rod and Gun Club ponds 25,000 By far the greatest distance to which eggs were transferred from this station was Charlie lake. In addition to the number given above, shipped from Penask lake, a like number from Lloyd's creek was added at Kamloops and the whole 200,000 were transferred to Charlie lake. Previous to this distribution this lake REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 107 was barren of any game fish; therefore, if the distribution is successful and Kamloops trout become established, a very valuable addition will be made to the natural attractions of this part of the Peace river district.

SUMMERLAND HATCHERY R. H. Eaton, Superintendent This station makes no independent -collection of fish eggs but obtains its supply frOm other establishments and collecting camps, and is utilized for distribution of eggs and fry to many streams and lakes in the Okanagan and Nicola districts. Its major supplies are shipments of Kamloops trout eggs from Pcnask lake hatchery and Kennerly's salmon from Nelson. This season 268,209 Kamloops trout eggs were received from Penask lake in July and 150,000 Ken- nerly's salmon eggs from Nelson in December. Some 239,250 Kennerly's salmon fry were liberated into Okanagan lake during February, 1933. Kamloops trout amounting to 266,224 were distributed.

LLOYD'S CREEK HATCHERY A. P. Hills, Superintendent The run of parent Kamloops trout to the spawning grounds of Paul, Pinan- tan and Knough lakes was appreciably larger than in 1932, consequently a greater number of eggs was secured; the collections from these points totalled 1,318,000, or an increase of nearly 300,000 eggs over the collection of 1932 at these points. The collection from Fish lake was approximately 100,000 eggs less than secured in 1932, although this does not indicate that there was a lesser number of parent Kamloops. The number of eggs secured in 1933 was 1,167,170 as against 1,274,000 the previous year. The water in Fish lake was about two feet higher than normal and allowance not having been macle for this unusual condition, many parent fish leaped the fences. Includina the collection secured from the last-mentioned body of water, the total number laid down in Lloyd's creek station was 2,485,170 Kamloops trout eggs, which, after deduction of a normal loss during development, and shipments of 288,000 to Pemberton, 78,000 e . to Cultus, 142,000 to Cowichan and 92,610 to Jasper, allowed for a distribution of 857,000 eyed Kamloops eggs and 795,600 fry. In recent years this station, in addition to amply providing an abundant supply of seed for waters from which the collections have been secured, has also shipped annually large quantities of Kamloops trout eggs to many points where successful distributions have been made and many bodies of water have benefitted thereby. This season was no exception to the rule, and nearly one and one-half million eggs were available and distributed far and near as shown under shipments mentioned above.

CRANBROOK HATCHERY Fish cultural operations in this district are entirely under the management of the local angling association, and on the completion of the season of 1932 it was decided by this organization to abandon the original hatchery located on Hospital creek, and erect a more modern and up-to-date establishment on St. Joseph's creek. This building was completed and in readiness for operations in 1933 and the results obtained this year proved entirely satisfactory, justifying the transfer of operations to the new site. The total collection secured from Fish, Munro, Mineral and Reservoir lakes was 2,465,000 cutthroat trout eggs and was a record for this district, In addition, 125,500 Kamloops eggs were obtained from Mineral, Smith and Premier lakes, all of which were originally stocked with this variety by the department. 108 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

The department purchased 1,500,000 cutthroat trout eggs from the association and the Provincial Government Game Commission, 400,000. Eggs purchased by the department were 900,000 for distribution in British Columbia and 600,000 for shipment to Waterton hatchery, Alberta. The association allowed generous measurements so that the actual numbers received somewhat exceeded these figures. The remainder, numbering 486,000, were distributed in the district. Some 109,200 Kamloops trout fry and fingerlings were also distributed locally. Total distributions to all points from this establishment were 2,392,000 cutthroat and 109,200 Kamloops trout.

BEAVER LAKE EYEING STATION W. L. Goodlet, Officer in Charge Beaver lake is situated about twenty-seven miles northeast of Kelowna; B.C., at an altitude of 4,500 feet, and is one of a chain of lakes whose waters eventually discharge into Okanagan lake. These lakes were barren of fish life prior to 1926, when 5,000 :Kamloops trout eggs were planted in one of its tributaries. Further introductions of eyed eggs and fry were made in 1927, 1928 and 1931; in all, 7,000 eyed eggs and 13,000 fry were distributed therein. The results were eminently successful and in the last few seasons many fish, ranging from three and one-half to eighteen pounds in -weight, have been taken from its waters by anglers. Last year there were indications that intensive angling was depleting the stock so the department took steps to build up the supply. Equipment was transferred from Summerland hatchery and 128,000 Kamloops trout eggs were secured. In addition, 125,000 eggs of the same species were received from Penask lake. Total distributions amounted to 243,442 Kamloops fry, of which 218,442 were planted in Beaver lake and 25,000 allotted to the Kelowna Rod and Gun Club. Considerable preparatory work was done installing fences and traps and clearing logs and debris from Crooked creek to facilitate future operations.

QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS

TL'ELL RIVER-MCCLINTON CREEK E. V. Epps, Officer in Charge In continuation of the program of the Biological Board at McClinton creek, Queen Charlotte islands, in connection with the habits and life history of the pink salmon that frequent the waters of these islands in huge numbers every second year, and to determine the possibilities for the development of a run of commercial value in the alternative years, similar operations were conducted as in the fall of 1931. The department provided an experienced fish cultural officer to make a collection of pink salmon eggs at the Tl'ell river flowing into Hecate straits, one of the few streams, if not the only stream, on Queen Charlotte islands which maintains a run of pink salmon in the off year. To further facilitate these operations, the department installed a permanent counting fence and new trap on this stream in July which gave greater satisfaction than the temporary structure installed in 1931. The run of pink salmon was not quite as large as that of the brood year of 1931, but was of sufficient size to allow for the collection between August 26 and September 5 of 695,246 eggs, a sufficient number to meet the requirements of the officers of the Biological Board conducting the investigation.

ENGINEERING BRANCH

REPORT BY CHAS. BRUCE, A.M.E.I.C., FISHERIES ENGINEER The Engineering Branch is responsible for all works of a technical nature undertaken by the department. These are classified and reviewed in detail here- under. All work of the branch in British Columbia is under the direct supervision of Resident Engineer John McHugh, with headquarters at Vancouver.

BUILDING FISHWAYS AND CLEARING RIVERS NOVA SCOTIA Tusket River, Yarmouth County.—The situation at the dam on Tusket falls again caused much concern as while the fishway was efficient for passing alewives, which ascended in immense numbers, salmon, particularly the early run fish, did not leave the large pools some 100 yards below the dam. At a conference attended by representatives of the local people interested, the Nova Scotia Power Commission, owners of the dam, and the department, it was decided -after an inspection of the dam to open up a large channel from the pools, above referred to, to the foot of the dam and build a wind wall to keep the water in this channel, the commission agreeing to remove a part of a log sluice which it was thought might interfere with ascending salmon. This work was undertaken during the summer when water conditions were most suitable, but its efficiency will not be fully ascertained until next year. Mersey River, Queens County.—The McLeod Pulp Company, owners of an unused dam at Cowie's falls, agreed, after negotiations, to make an opening through it as it was in such a poor state of repair that the fishway did not func- tion effectively. After this work was completed it was necessary for the department to improve the river bed below to provide an adequate channel for ascending fish during low water conditions. LeHave River, Lunenburg County.—Some small modifications were made to the fishway in the Wentzell dam to render it efficient during low water conditions. This was, however, not entirely completed, due to high water when the work was undertaken. Gaspereaux River, Kings County.—Owing to the difficulty experienced through loss of both adult and young fish, descending through the turbines at the Whiterock power plant, it was decided to try as an experiment a hanging type of screen, which was developed in the departraent. The owners of the plant met the greater part of the cost of the screen but it was erected under engineering supervision. The efficiency of this screen, which is a new departure, designed to overcome if possible the difficulties always present when any obstruction is placed over a power intake, will not be known until next year. Shubenacadie River, Hants County.—An unusual situation developed in this river when, due to extreme low water, numerous young alewives were trapped in heavY growths of grass, where they were being destroyed by eels. A channel was made through these grass areas permitting the free descent of fish. 153 154 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

Catalone Lake, Cape Breton Covnty.—A small obstruction in the outlet stream which prevented the ascent of fish was removed, and a rock fall, which retarded fish during low water, was improved by blasting. Lake Enon, Richmond County.—Several obstructions in the outlet stream from this lake were removed to facilitate the passage of fish between it and Loch Lomond lake. McInnes Brook and Front River, Inverness County. Small channels were cut through gravel bars which had formed at the mouths of these streams to permit the ascent of numbers of sea trout for spawning.

NEW BRUNSWICK Nashtvaak River , York County.—An apron was again built below the waste gate in the dam at to improve the conditions for ascending salmon. Magaguadavic River Charlotte County.—Since the large fishway at the mouth of this river proved' efficient for salmon, the local Fish and Game Associa- tion urged that improvement should be made at Second falls, some ten miles up the river, where the fish were retarded in their ascent. The association agreed to perform all the labour if the department would provide explosives. The work, consisting of blasting off the top of the falls, was completed during the low water period, under departmental supervision. Buctouche River, Kent County.—An examination was made of a fishway which the owners, without receiving information from the department, had built in a driving dam. While it was reported that salmon had ascended, approval of the fishway is being withheld until the results of its operation next season are observed. BRITISH COLUMBIA Demanual Creek, V./.—This creek, which flows into the Sooke river near Sooke, V.I., was badly obstructed with a huge log jam as a result of freshets. Action was taken for its removal and every advantage taken of a spell of fine weather and low water, as a result of which burning proved very effective in removing the major portion of the jam. Salmon have since been able to proceed to the upper waters of this stream without hindrance. - 103rd Creek, -17./.—This creek, which flows into Ladysmith harbour, V.I., was badly obstructed with a huge log jam as a result of freshets. Before arrangements could be completed for its removal by the department, the presence of the jam threatened the safety of both the provincial highway and the E. and N. Railway crossing of this creek and it became necessary for the provincial Government to take immediate action to remove the jam. This department was thus saved the cost of doing this work as a result of which salmon now have access to the upper waters of this stream. Chilcotin River.—A careful examination was made of the Farwell Bridge canyon of the Chilcotin river, an important feeder of the upper Fraser, on receipt of reports that sockeye had been held up in the canyon during the previous season. This examination revealed the fact that no physical changes had occurred in the canyon within recent years. There was no evidence whatever of slides or disturbance of the river bed. There was, however, evidence of very swift and •broken water under certain conditions of flow which, in all probability, delay-ed progress somewhat in that year. This is to be expected in the canyons of the Fraser river, many of which present difficulties under certain conditions to ascending salmon. There are, however, stages duriiag which such difficulties disappear and progress then becomes possible. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 155 Quinsam River.—The Quinsam river, which drains into Campbell river on the east coast of Vancouver island, received a careful examination during the year. This river, approximately twenty-three miles in length, drains three lakes, Upper, Middle and Lower Quinsam. Upper Quinsam lies at an elevation of 1,200 feet above sea level and the river falls this distance in its descent to the sea. Four varieties of salmon and the steelhead are known to enter and spawn in the river, and springs and cohoes are known to reach a point about a mile below the outlet of the lower lake. Between this point and the outlet of the lake is a drop of about 100 feet in a series of cascades and it was desired to ascertain whether it would be possible to so improve this stretch that salmon could proceed into Lower Quinsam lake and take advantage of the available spawning areas in the upper section. This was found to be feasible, though the cost would be very heavy, since the work would consist of cutting graded channels through the rocky bed of the stream in places and constructing baffle walls of concrete to retard the current. Furthermore, this examination revealed the fact that a 30-foot fall exists in one place in that section of the river between the middle and lower lakes, which would arrest further progress until it had been overcome. Opening up the Quinsam river to the further progress of salmon will involve extremely heavy expenditure and it will be necessary to determine whether the benefits which would accrue from the work would be commensurate with the cost. The matter is still under consideration. Quamichan River.—This stream, which drains Quamichan lake and enters the Cowichan river near its mouth, was inspected for the purpose of ascertain- ing whether it would be possible to open up the falls near its mouth for the passage of trout, which residents on the lake shore had stated were impassable. It was found on inspection that the falls could be made passable with very little expenditure, but that if the change were made the lak-e would become accessible to other fish (salmon and catfish) which it was not desired should be admitted. This matter is receiving further consideration. Kutla Creek.—A log jam which prevented the ascent of salmon to the spawning grounds was removed from the bed of the above stream which drains into Riley's cove, Tofino inlet. The jam was located about one-half mile from the mouth of the stream. Coho salmon are now able to pass up the stream and into the lake at head of the stream, where they spawn. Ingram Lake Falls.—Two visits were paid to these falls, which are at the mouth of Ingram creek which flows into Ellerslie channel at its head. The falls, eighteen feet in height, over a distance of forty-five feet, have always presented a barrier to ascending salmon and it has been suggested that they should be made passable in order to open up and utilize a new spawning area of lakes and streams which are at present barren of salmon life. These lakes and streams are reported to contain areas of good gravel suitable for spawning grounds, which might, if made accessible, support a large run, once such a run were established. It was found, however, that to overcome the falls an expenditure of approximately $3,000 would be required to install a suitable fishway, and it was not considered expedient at the present time to proceed with the scheme. Minor Obstructions.—Minor obstructions consisting of log jams, boulders, and other debris were removed from the following streams, with the assistance of help procured in the locality, and under supervision of the local officer: Ditmar creek, Nelson island; and Murphy creek, Jervis inlet, Pender Harbour district. Small quantities of explosives were furnished local officers for work to be done by themselves and their boat crews on the following streams, to make 156 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES openings in jams and to remove logs which interfered with the free passage of salmon: Docee river and Takoosh river, Smiths inlet; Birkenhead river, Lillooet district; Big Qualicum river, Hunt creek and Coal creek, East Coast Vancouver Island. Inspections and reports were made and compiled in connection with the following streams where obstructions had been reported: Beaver creek, Canoe Pass creek, Summers creek; Dutchman's Harbour creek, Round creek, Ward creek and Fish creek, Alberni Area, District No. 3; Simoon Sound creek and Tracy Harbour creek, Alert Bay Area, District No. 3; Davis creek, District No. 1. An obstruction consisting of a disused jam and a quantity of logging debris was removed from the bed of the stream draining into Sullivan bay, by- the owners of the dam at no cost to the department.

FISH CULTURAL ESTABLISHMENTS NOVA SCOTIA Margaree Hatchery.—A small natural brook channel on the hatchery property, some 650 feet long, which has been used for several years as a rearing pond, was deepened and fitted with a series of screen baffles to increase its efficiency for holding young fish. Margaree Salmon Pond.—In order to provide a holding pond for early run salmon in the Margaree river a pound-net was set in the estuary. As no equipment was available a small pile driver and scow were taken to Margaree from Morell, Prince Edward Island, by one of the fisheries protection steamers. The pound was successfullly set in time for the first run of salmon. Lindloff Hatchery.—The hatchery building was repaired by the introduction of new sills, joists and flooring. Antigonish Hatchery.—Two circular rearing ponds each twenty-five feet in diameter and two feet deep at the centre were excavatécl and the requisite water supply flumes and drainage systems idtalled. Bedford Hatchery.—Eight rearing ponds, each four feet wide and varying in length from twenty-nine feet to thirty-six feet, were built to complete a series, which now comprises fifteen ponds. The construction throughout was concrete with the requisite reinforcing. A small circular pond was built by the hatchery superintendent and repairs were effected to the walls of the canal, which is used as a retaining pond for parent salmon. Middleton Hatchery.—Boundary lines were re-established over a portion of the hatchery property which was enclosed with wire fencing. The icehouse was enlarged ,by an extension 8 feet by 10 feet and a cold room installed. Nictaux Salmon Pond.—Twenty hatching troughs, each sixteen feet long, with the requisite supply trough, were made and set up on the land adj oining the pond, to be used for rearing fingerlings. The work included foundations, trestles and a roof over the system to provide shade. The water supply was conducted to the head trough by a 6-inch wood stave pipe line. A small shed with concrete floor was erected to provide facilities for grinding and storing food for the fish retained in the troughs. Yarmouth Hatchery.---Two small concrete dams were built in the outlet stream from lake George, where it passes along the boundary of the hatchery property, to provide ponds for retaininâ brood trout. The property boundaries were re-established and a wire fence erected between it and the adjacent farm. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 157

NEW BRUNSWICK Saint John Hatchery.—The series of forty-eight wooden rearing tanks, built the year previous, were reinforced with stay rods, to prevent warping of the sides, and a gate was installed at the head of the water supply line to these tanks. Extensive repairs were necessary to the concrete walls of the large rearing pond system, where the action of frost had caused serious erosion during the several years since they were completed. Tobique Hatchery.—As the original wooden posts supporting the hatchery building had become so rotted that settlement was taking place, stone piers were erected to replace them. The hatchery was equipped with ten new hatching troughs and a new supply trough, and some small repairs were made to the water supply dam. Grand Falls Hatchery.—When it was desired to fence the portion of the hatchery property on the far side of the railway, it was 'found that an old road allowance crossed over a part of this land. Arrangements were made with the Provincial Highway Department whereby the Fisheries Department acquired sufficient land adjacent to the hatchery property for a road diversion and the Provincial Department will open up and maintain the road, thus avoiding interference with lands required for hatchery purposes.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND Kelly's Pond Hatchery.—Three rearing tanks each eleven feet long, two and one-half feet wide and fourteen inches deep were built and set up for rearing fry. Mora/ Salmon Pond.—In order to facilitate operations at this pond it was necessary to secure additional property, a survey of which was made by the Engineering Branch. The net wings of the salmon retaining trap having rotted beyond further use, it was decided to replace them with wood slats. Thirty-one panels to provide for a fence 400 feet long were constructed. They are removed in the fall when operations are over for the season.

BRITISH COLUMBIA Skeena River Hatchery.—The annual report of this branch for the year 1932 referred to a serious wash-out on the Skeena River Hatchery road in the vicinity of the hatchery. It was impossible to do anything in the way of extensive repairs at the time and it was not until May of the year under review that the repair work was commenced. Meantime, the functions of the establishment were carried on without interruption in spite of the extraordinarily difficult conditions. The men employed on the 1933 work were all residents of the district and an equipment of tools was kindly loaned by the Public Works Department of the province. An entirely new location on higher ground was found for that section of the road which had to be rebuilt. It follows the foot of the side bill along the north side of the valley, down stream from the hatchery, at an average height above the creek bed of five feet. The new road is well clear of any danger of high water. The total length of road constructed measures 2,200 feet and it has minimum width of ten feet,. The road winds along the side hill with easy curves and good grade. Considerable solid rock was encountered in excavation, the heaviest rock cutting being a seven-foot cut for fifty feet. The road is well ditched on the upper side to take care of seepage from the side hill, and culverts were put under the road at low points. It was not possible with the funds available to surface the road with gravel but the road-bed is built of good material, is solid, and gravelling can be done later. 158 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES In addition to the road work a rock filled crib 95 feet long, 63: feet wide, and 7 feet high was built along the hatchery side of the creek, replacing an old crib washed out in the fall freshet, and extending the bank protection up stream. The crib was constructed of sound cedar logs cut on the hatchery reserve, fast- ened together with finch iron drift bolts and filled with heavy boulders, brush, and gravel. Summerland Hatchery.—The capacity of this establishment was doubled by the addition of eight new hatching troughs and the necessary fittings. Cultus Lake Hatchery.—Repairs to Fences Sweltzer Creek.--Winter freshets, 1932.-1933, were the cause of a portion of the Vedder river breaking through into the valley of Sweltzer creek and partially demolishing the three counting fences maintained there for experimental work in connection with the Cultus Lake hatchery by the Biological Board. These fences were repaired during the season of low water in August. The work necessitated the services of a pile driver for foundation work. Thirty new piles were driven and the framing of the fences completed, after which the rock filling and bank protection work was completed. The impounding fence in the vicinity of the hatchery also received minor repairs. Penask Hatchery.—The Penask hatchery was visited in order to secure data for preparation of a report on the spawning fences on Penask creek. Rivers Inlet Hatchery.—Repairs were made to the Quap Creek fence which was washed out during the winter of 1932-33. It was necessary for an engineer to visit the ground and lay out the work which was done under supervision of the hatchery superintendent. Tl-ell River Fence, Queen Charlotte Islands.—This fence, which is operated by the Biological Board in connection with its pink salmon investigations, was replaced during the year. The work was carried out under the direct supervision of an engineer. Beaver Lake, Kelowna.—An inspection was made here by this branch and a report and plan prepared in connection with the proposal to construct a spawning fence for trout at the lake. The report was submitted to the department but action towards construction has been deferred. Cowichan Lake Hatchery—Renewal of Pipe Line.—For several years this pipe line has been showing signs that its replacement at no distant date would be necessary. The line, 2035 feet in length from dam to hatchery, was of the low- head inserted joint type, of wire-wound wood pipe, and serious leaks developed at many of the joints, which caused a great shortage of water during the summer months when the supply is low. Authority was procured to renew the pipe and work was commenced in September last. Because of the fact that the ponds were occupied by young fish it was necessary to maintain the flow in the old pipe line whilst the new one was being laid. A parallel trench was excavated along the old line, exposing it for the greater part of its length, and the new pipe laid alongside the old one. Connections were made through the dam and a new intake constructed and the pipe was finally laid to the hatchery after which connections were broken on the old line, and the new line connected up. CO-OPERATIVE FISH CULTURE • NOVA SCOTIA Waverley Brook Ponds.—The Nova Scotia Fish and Game Protective Asso- ciation proceeded with the construction of nine rearing ponds at this site, surveys for which had been made the year previous, by a departmental engineer. The work included, in addition to the ponds each of which is 100 feet long and REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 159 about four feet wide, the construction of a rock filled timber dam about 100 feet long and six feet high, with a fishway through it, to provide a water supply for the ponds, as well as the construction of an icehouse and feed room. All the work was laid out by an engineer and was completed under the supervision of a departmental construction foreman.

GAME DEP.ARTMENT (BRITISH COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT) Quaiicum Ponds, V./.—Co-operating with the Game Department of British Columbia, a careful survey of the facilities available for fish culture at Qualicum beach was made, and it was recommended to the province that the old pond be demolished and an entirely new unit constructed. Funds were made available for this work by the British Columbia authorities, and plans and specifications were prepared by this department. These plans provided for the demolishing of the Old works, the diversion of the creek which provides the water supply, and the construction of four wooden ponds each measuring 40 feet by 6 feet by 3 feet deep, stepping down to 3 feet, 6 inches, all built on suitable foundations. Each pond was provided with its own separate water supply from a supply tank connected with the creek and a triple row of 2-inch by 6-inch sheet piling was driven across the creek bed for a distance of 140 feet to control the creek and to conserve and retain the flow of several small springs which normally drained into the creek and were wasted. Work was commenced in the month of February and was completed in March (an additional pond being added, making five in all). The work throughout was under the superintendence of this department. As soon as the ponds were completed they were occupied by brown trout and Atlantic salmon fry. The ponds are reported to have given good satisfaction during the year. Stanley Park Hatchery and Retaining Ponds.—The situation at Stanley park where there is a constant overflow from the Stanley Park reservoir was investigated with a view to erecting e modern hatching and rearing plant, and as a result plans of at hatchery building, fully equipped, and .sixteen rearing tanks each 15 feet by 4 feet 3 inches, by 3 feet deep were prepared and submitted for approval. Authority for the construction of this plant was obtained and work was comrnenced by day labour, the facilities of this department being used for the purchase of all material and the conduct of the work being under the direct supervision of this branch. The work was completed in June and the hatchery was filled with trout eggs, which when they were developed into fry were placed in the rearing tanks. An 8 inch wooden stave pipe line from Beaver creek furnishes the water which feeds separately into the hatchery and each of the tanks. Kelowna Rearing Ponds.—An engineer in company with Provincial Game Commissioner A. Bryan 'Williams, and at his request, paid a special visit to Kelowna for the purpose of advising him with regard to future development at this point. Veitch Creek, Spooke Harbour, V.I.—An examination was made of this creek with a view to duplicating the service given at Stanley park-, Vancouver, for the raising of trout for distribution in Vancouver Island waters. The creek drains into Sooke harbour and whilst its flow becomes quite restricted in summer months, it may be possible by arrangement with Victoria city to boost the supply from that city's water supply, which is derived from So6ke lake and whose pipe line crosses the upper reaches of Veitch creek. Conferences were held with city water officials and records of creek flow procured by the Provincial Water Rights Department on the strength of which the Game Department purchased a piece of land on the banks of the stream on which the plant can be constructed. No 160 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES further development on this project is contemplated at present although the question of water supply is still receiving attention. A contour survey of the valley has been made by British Columbia government engineers with a vieve to preparing an estimate on the cost of providing water storage during critical periods. If the water supply can be taken care of this should prove a splendid location for what is required, being convenient to the highway and only a few miles from Victoria. Nelson Island.—In company with officials of the Game Department, an engineer visited a point on Nelson island, Agamemnon channe', for the purpose of securing data for an estimate of the cost and means to be adopted for securing a collection of cutthroat trout eggs in the spring of 1934. The estimate was prepared and the figures handed to the Game Department. Granbrook Hatchery.—A special visit was made to this establishment, newly constructed by the local fish and game association, for the purpose of advising with regard to water supply, control, and distribution.

GENERAL Surveys.—Instrumental surveys were made at Grafton brook and Lower Great brook in Queens county, N.S., to determine the suitability of proposed sites at these points for the establishment of rearing pond systems. Similar surveys were also made at Indian brook on the LaHave river, Lunenburg county, and at Jobs pond near Stewiacke in Colchester county. Fishing Boundary Signs, Area No. 17 (Fraser River).—The establishment of a seining area north of the 49th parallel in the gulf of Georgia necessitated the establishment of a boundary line with boundary signs on the direct line between a point three-quarters of a mile south of Canoe pass and Gabriola pass. The position of this line was established and a large triangular boundary was placed on the dyke below Canoe pass which was visible for several miles. Three cedar telephone poles 45, 50 and 60 feet long were placed in holes 8 feet deep dug in the dyke and guyed with wire rope, and a triangular boundary sign with sides 12 feet in length was bolted to their tops, about 35 feet above the top of the dyke. A second sign was then placed on the boundary line at the point where the sand heads shelve off into deep water. Here it was necessary to use a pile driver to drive three sixty-foot piles in a row at five foot centres surmounted by a triangular sign similar to that on the dyke. Pollution, Comox Lake.—A further examination into the question of pollution at Comox lake, as a result of coal mining operations, was conducted during the year in co-operation with officers of the Biological Board. According to reports by the board's chemist, the pollution could be mitigated considerably if the effluent from the mines were exposed to the action of the air for sufficiently long periods to oxydize the deleterious material in solution so that it would precipitate and finally deposit itself. The cost of pipe lines to adequately dispose of the effluent would require very heavy capital expenditure, which, under present conditions, the company would no t be prepared to undertake. It was therefore arranged to lay out in plans a series of suitable ditches on satisfactory grades to assure slow though continuous movement and to ascertain the best possible arrangements for disposal of the refuse as it was deposited. A full report and plan of the proposed layout was submitted. Salmon Investigation.—In company with Biological Board officers an examination was made of certain waters north of Seymour narrows for the purpose of advising the department in connection with a proposal to intercept sockeye salmon on their journey south to the Fraser river and to impound them in salt water until spawning. Deepwater bay and various adjacent waters were visited 1or this purpose and a full report submitted, with an estimate of cost. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 161

Float, Departure Bay.—The question of float renewal at Departure bay and the examination of suitable points on Vancouver island for the location of salt water retaining ponds were investigated. Fisheries Stations.—Reports were prepared in connection with repairs to the fisheries station at Schooner passage, Rivers inlet, and also to the station at Poplar island, Fraser river. These repairs were subsequently carried out by the Public Works Department, under whose jurisdiction, for maintenance, these two stations come. Fishways—Deep Creek.—The fishway designed for incorporation in the privately owned dam at Deep creek, Prince George district, was completed during the year without any expense to this department. This fishway, of standard design, consists of nine separate pools, each rising one foot in height. It is constructed of wood, approximately fifty-five feet in length, and three feet wide in the clear. It is constructed in the form of a "U" thus bringing the entrance within five feet of the base of the dam. Deep creek is a trout stream and trout are reported to have passed through the fish-way in large numbers since the work was completed. Linklater Creek (Kootenali District).—Plans were prepared for a fishway on Linklater creek, Kootenay district, of similar size to that on Deep creek, though the layout differs in that it is perfectly straight and connects the pool at the base of the dam with the irrigation flume which leads off at one side of the dam. This fishway has not yet been completed. It is being installed bY joint owners of a dam, without any cost to the department, to enable trout to overcome an irrigation dam. Irrigation.—Matters in connection with the screening of irrigation ditches, particularly in the Okanagan district, received considerable attention during the year. Revolving screens have been attended with much success in the United States and it was considered possible that they might be adopted in British Columbia. Cost of installation is, however, a controlling factor, particularly with orchardists, who are bravely strugglifig against adverse conditions, and finally it was recommended that the older type vertical screens be still adhered to. Arrangements were satisfactorily completed whereby the Department of Indian Affairs agreed to install screens in certain portions of the district in the vicinity of Vernon. SCALLOP INVESTIGATIONS A detailed report of scallop investigations will be found in Appendix No. 7.

LEASING OF OYSTER AREAS The leasing of unproductive oyster bottom, under the policy adopted by the Federal Government when the administration of the oyster fishery was taken over by agreement from the Provincial Government, was continued during the year. Up to the beginning of the year the applications totalled 109, of which ten leases had been completed. During the year 47 new applications were received and the number of leases had increased to forty-five. Of these, thirty- five are in Malpeque ha, five in Brackley bay, three in Savage harbour, one in Covehead bay and one in Foxley river. A detailed report of oyster cultural work by the department will be found in Appendix No. 6.

OFFICE During the year the various maps relating to fisheries matters were brought up to date.

83430-11 APPENDIX No. 5 REPORT OF INSPECTION OF FISH AND TECERNICAL INSTRUCTION TO FISHERMEN AND FISHERY OFFICERS BY J. J. COWIE, DIRECTOR INSPECTION OF SALTED MACKEREL, HERRING, ETC: The inspection of pickled or salted fish and the barrels or packages in which these are marketed was carried on under authbrity of the Fish Inspection Act during 1933 by those fishery officers of the department who had previously been trained and qualified for such work. ATLANTIC COAST As was pointed out in the annual report for the preceding year a very important change in the method of inspection on the Atlantic coast was introduced on the first of June, 1933. Prior to that time such fish as come under the Fish Inspection Act were required to comply with the definite standards as to quality and grading and, while they were subject to inspection before shipment, the shipper was at liberty to ship his fish without inspection if an inspector did not appear in the vicinity at the time. Since the first of June, 1933, however, packers and shippers have been prohibited from shipping or selling such fish, and the packages in which they are packed, unless they have been inspected and officially marked by a qualified inspecting offi cer. This change to compulsory inspection had entailed an enormous amount of additional work on the' inspecting officers. Indeed, some of them for a time were so overtaxed with inspection work that inspectors from other districts had to be sent to their assistance. Curiously enough, the introduction of this compulsory inspection in 1933 coincided with a rather abnormally large run of mackerel. As a result of the greatly increased inspection work in the first year, as was to be expected some complaints were received as to the quality of the product inspected and passed by some of the inspectors and several re-inspections were carried out in accordance with the provisions therefor in the act. 'Notwith- standing this, however, it can be safely stated that taken altogether the fishery officers handled the new work as satisfactorily as could be expected. There is no doubt whatever the with the experience gained during the season of 1933 there will be a more thorough inspection in the next year and fewer complaints as to the quality of either packages or fish. From the first of April, 1933, to the thirty-first of March, 1934, there were inspected on the Atlantic coast 78,570 empty barrels or packages, 61,209 packages of mackerel, 24,308 packages of herring, 6,793 packages of alewives, 220,660 boxes of smoked round herring, and 13,658 barrels and boxes of oysters, making a total of 405,198 packages inspected. Of that total 857 barrels of mackerel, 505 barrels of herring, 1,000 boxes of smoked herring and four boxes of oysters were found to be below the quality prescribed by the regulations under the Fish Inspection Act and were so marked. In addition to the inspection of barrels ,and fish the inspecting officers carried out 4,476 inspections of fish curing establishments with a view to seeing that they were kept in a proper sanitary condition. PACIFIC COAST The inspection of dry-salted herring was continued during the season of 1933-34 by qualified fishery officers. 162 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 163.

In the preceding year, owing to the unsettled conditions in China, the only market for these dry-salted herring, there were not more than 47,148 boxes, con- i pounds each, inspected. During the year under review, however, the taining 400 total inspections rose to 127,126 boxes. Under the improved system of inspection that was put in effect two years ; ago, the condition of these herring on arrival in China has been much improved;: also the old difficulty with regard to the weight of fish in the boxes on arrive has been practically removed.

INSPECTION OF CANNEMES AND CANNED FISH The inspection of fish canneries, the raw material used, the canning processes and the canned product is carried on by authority of the Meat and Canned Foods Act and the regulations made thereunder. During the season of 1933 there were operated in the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, British Columbia, and in the

Magdalen- Islands, 282 lobster canneries, 50 salmon canneries, 10 clam canneries: and 12 sardine and other canneries. On the Atlantic coast the canning of lobsters claims the attention of the greatest number of people. While much has been done in the past to bring about improved operating conditions in lobster canneries nothing perhaps lias so far been clone that is calculated to Œive such speedy and good results as the sys- tematic grading that was put in 'nforce last year. The grading is carried out by the departmental inspecting officers. Marks are assigned or deducted for the various items falling under construction,' equipment-, operations, and sanitation. There are graduated increasing minimum' total marks from the year 1933 to 1935 and any cannery failing to obtain the minimum marks is not allowed to operate. As a result of the 1933 grading some canneries were not opened while some were allowed to continue after improvements required to bring them up to the minimum were made. Careful attention was given to testing the weights of lobster meat packed in the cans at each cannery during the season and when lightweight cans were found they were not allowed to be s-old until they were marked indelibly with the designation " Underweight." The inspection of canned salmon on the Pacific coast, as introduced in 1932, was continued in 1933 with increasing satisfaction to all concerned. The inspection system provides:— 1. That no canned sahnon are to be shipped out of the province without inspection. 2. That parcels of canned salmon found to be fresh, firm and well packed are granted an official certi ficate of approval. 3. That parcels of canned salmon found to be sound and fit for human food but not quite up to the standard required for a certificate are classed as " second quality " and these words are embossed on an additional top attached to one end of the can. Parcels which fall below the second quality grade are confiscated and destroyed or used by the department for purposes other than human food. From April 1, 1933, to March 31, 1934, there were inspected 1,395,218 cases of canned salmon of all kinds. Of that number 1,376,734 cases were granted certificates of approval, 17,311 cases were found to be of second quality and were so marked, 1,173 cases were found to be below second quality and were confiscated, making a total of 18,484 eases which fell below the certificate grade. Prior to last year the federal department experienced some difficulty in enforcing fully the requirements of the Meat and Canned Foods Act and the regulations as it had no jurisdiction over a canned product packed in any one province for consumption within that province. The Provincial Governments 83480-11h 164 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES of British Columbia, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, however, were good enàugh to have legislation passed in 1932 which gave the force of law in the -various provinces to the provisions of the Meat and Canned Foods Act in so far as it was within their legislative competence to do so. The three last-nained provinces also took similar action with respect to the Fish Inspection Act. Subsequently, the regulations and amendments that have so far been made under these acts were adopted and given the force of law by procla- mation. INSTRUCTION IN FISH CURING During the cod fishing season of 1933 instruction was given to fishermen in certain sections of the Atlantic coast in the Gaspé style of curing and in other sections in the curing of cod in pickle and the making of boneless fish.

• Gaspé Cod Curing.—Two qualified instructors were employed for this work, one at the Magdalen Islands and the other in the county of Gloucester, New Brunswick. The work of instruction was started at the Magdalen Islands on the 9th of May and was continued to the end of October. In New Brunswick the work was begun on the 19th of May and continued to the end of October. The same methods were used by both instructors. On the arrival of the boats from the fishing ground each day they visited the landing places and gave instruction in the splitting, washing, and salting of the fish, emphasizing especially the bleeding of the fish when caught. Afterwards they visited the drying places and gave instruction in and supervised the methods of drying. The renewed requests for continuation of such instruction testify to the good work being done by these instructors. At the Magdalen Islands the following places were systematically visited: Etang du Nord, South Beach, Point Basse, Amherst Harbour, Aurigny, Grind- stone, Hospital Cove, Old Harry, Grand Entry, Grosse Isle, Brion Island, Point du Loup, Gros Cap, Cabin Cove, and West Cape. In Gloucester county, New Brunswick, the following places were visited: Lanieque, Island River, Point Alexander, Pigeon Hill, IVIiscou Harbour, Miscou Centre, Miscou Point, Miscou Plains, Wilson's Point, Landry's Brook, Ste. Cecile, Little Shippegan, and Cape Bateau. The regular fishery _officers of the department in the districts named supervised the work of the instructors. Cod Curing in Pickle.—The work of instruction in cod curing in pickle was continued in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island during the fishing season of 1933. It was carried on under the immediate and direct supervision of Mr. George R. Earl, who had four highly qualified assistants working under him who demonstrated the actual splitting and salting of fish and the cutting of it into boneless fish. The work was greatly extended during 1933, particularly in Nova Scotia east of Halifax. The principal buyers of pickle-cured codfish are in the United States, and these buyers have made it clear that wherever they find that fishermen follow closely the advice and instruction given by our instructors and produce a quality in accordance therewith, they are prepared to very greatly increase their purchases. As might be expected, it is only at places here and there that fishermen are found prepared to follow absolutely the advice and instruction given. It is gratifying, however, to note that a number of new places came under instruction in the past year, especially along the eastern shore of Nova Scotia and in Cape Breton. Last year in eastern Nova Scotia the following places were under supervision and instruction: Marie Joseph, Liscomb, Port Beckerton, Goldboro, Drum Head, Coddles Harbour, Seal Harbour, New Harbour, and ultimately to a limited extent Canso. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 165 In Cape Breton. island supervision and instruction were given in the Petit de Grat district, also at Glace Bay, Alder Point, Little Bras d'Or, and in the Cheti- camp district, which includes Cape Rouge, to Grand Etang and Margaree Har- bour. As an example of the results that are being achieved through the instruction thus given, it may be noted that in the course of last season a large cargo of pickle-cured codfish vas forwarded to Gloucester by a shipper in Guysboro county. The price talked of before shipment was $2.70 per hundredweight for large and $1.80 for medium. On the arrival of the cargo in Gloucester the buyer intimated that the quality was satisfactory in every respect and one of the nicest cargoes of fish that he had ever seen and as a consequence made the price 83.25 for large and $2.25 for medium. The buyer further intimated that if all the fish he got cOuld be as good quality as these he felt that he could greatly increase the salt fish business. The shipper referred to above followed closely the advice and instruction of our instructors. EDUCATIONAL COURSES OF INSTRUCTION By arrangement with the Biological Board of Canada a short course of instruction was given at the Fisheries Experimental Station at Halifax, Nova Scotia, to managers of lobster canneries on the Atlantic coast by the staff of the board in March, 1933. The course covered a period of nine days. The mornings were devoted to lectures and the afternoons to the practical work of canning lobsters and lobster paste. The subjects covered were biology, physics and chemistry, bacteriology, principles of canning, methods of lobster canning, equipment of canneries, grading of canneries, spoilage and inspection of canned lobsters, -by-products, canning practice, explanation of Meat and Canned Foods Act. In the beginning of the year 1934 another course of instruction was given to fishermen on the Atlantic coast. The instruction in this case also was given at the Fisheries Experimental Station- at Halifax, by the staff of the Biological Board assisted by Mr. Robert Gray and Mr. George R. Earl, officers of the department. Owing to curtailment of the funds made available to the Biological Board the length of this course was cut down to one month in place of six weeks as in other years. The number of applications for admission to these courses is far in excess of the accommodation available. Twenty-five applicants were accepted as meeting the requirements but only nineteen found themselves able to attend the course. The instruction covered the preparation and packing of pickled fish and of barrel making, preparation of pickle cured and boneles.s cod, motor engines, elementary science bearing on fish, fish life and the preservation of fish, and first aid and gardening as an adjunct to fishing. Instruction in navigation was also given in the evenings to those who cared to attend. The attendance at the navigation classes was almost one hundred per cent. At the Fisheries Experimental Station at Prince Rupert, British Columbia, the board's staff inaugurated a means of giving instruction of a scientific nature bearing on fish and fisheries to fishermen. It took the form of lectures which were started in the beginning of the year, 1934, by Doctor Bedford, of the Biological Board's staff at Prince Rupert. The series, two in number, were given to the vessel owners' association and the Fishermen's Union of Prince Rupert. The lectures dealt specifically with the preservation of halibut at sea but the principles laid down can be just as well applied to the preservation of other sea fish which have to be stored on board a ve,ssel for a number of days. The lectures afterwards were published by trade journals and were evidently very highly appreciated by those who heard and read them. APPENDIX No. 6

. REPORT ON OYSTER CULTURAL WORK BY THE DEPARTMENT OF • FISHERIES, 1933-34

BY DR. A. W. H.,NEEDLER, BIOLOGICAL BOARD OF CANADA « The Dominion Government, by an agreement with the province of Prince Edward Island in 1928, obtained jurisdiction over the oyster areas of the province and undertook to develop its oyster industry. As the most important step in that direction the establishment of oyster farming was planned in those suitable 'areas which did not support a valuable public fishery. The most important of these was the Malpeque Bay area which once supported the largest fishery in the province but in -which the oyster stocks had been reduced to a low level by intensive fishing and then almost completely obliterated by a disease in the years following 1914. Operations were concentrated in this area which has snnilar conditions to these in other areas along the north shore of the province. The presence of oysters in small but increasing quantities at the heads of the inlets tributary to Malpeque bay had indicated that oyster farming might again be feasible in the area. In 1928 and 1929 the area was explored by the department and experimental plots were established on which the success of Certain oyster cultural methods was to be demonstrated or determined. The department obtained the services of a practical oyster farmer from New England who applied methods known to him, using as a basis both locally produced seed oysters and oysters transferred from other areas in the province. In 1929 the •Biological Board of Canada commenced scientific investigations relative to oyster culture making its headquarters on Bideford river—one of the inlets tributary to Malpeque bay. In 1930 the experimental work of the department was placed under the supervision of the writer, who was in charge of the board's •oyster investigations. It was found that oysters introduced from other areas died in about a year with symptoms similar to those of the disease of 1914-16, while local oysters were unaffected, being apparently resistant. To prevent further damage by the disease the transfer of oysters to and from the affected area was prohibited and it was necessary to depend on the local stock to establish oyster culture. This was limited largely to the heads of the inlets or " rivers " and to a narrow shore •zone, i.e., to places where the greater summer warming of the water -favoured reproduction and where wave wash kept the bottom clean. Deeper grounds were practically barren and, in the rivers, badly silted. The dependence of the ,industry on the very limited local stock emphasized the importance of conserving it for use in establishing oyster farming and of developing the best possible cultural methods. The area was kept closed to public fishing and the experimental farming, now concentrated in Bideford river, was continued. In 1931, when the results of experimental plots were considered sufficiently promising to warrant encouraging private oyster farming oyster ground in the. Malpeque Bay area and in certain other bays having similar conditions was -offered for lease. A survey to facilitate the location of the areas had been made in 1929 and 1930. Areas at the heads of the inlets where reproduction is good, but the quality of the oysters poor, were reserved for spat collection by all and the department reserved areas in Bideford river for the continuance of experi- ';■ -• Mental farming. These areas were also used for the production of stock to be sold to lessees to establish oyster culture in their areas. 166 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 167

Leasing of Oyster Grounds and the Cultivation of Leased Areas.—A number of applications were received immediately following the offer of oyster ground for lease in October, 1931. Investigation of the applications preceding approval, surveying and marking of the areas and execution of the leases prevented the completion of any leases before 1932. To avoid unnecessary delay of the development of the leased grounds, work was permitted in a number of cases in advance of completion of the leases at the risk of the applicants. In the Malpeque area, chiefly in Bideford river and its vicinity, cultural operations were commenced in 1932 on 26 areas totalling about 110 acres. As was to be expected most conducted work on only a small experimental scale. However, active interest and an actual start was indicated by the following figures: 254 barrels of small oysters purehased from the department were planted on 14 leases; over 1,200 bushels of shells were exposed in wire bags for the collection of spat, in addition to considerable quantities spread on the bottoms. Labour spent in cleaning the grounds of mussels and silt is difficult to estimate, but exceeded an average of one week per lessee. As a start in the first year when the lessees, new to the work, were making preliminary trials, this is considered creditable. The degree of success attending the operations in 1932 had a definite bearing on the 1933 developments. The lessees were, on the whole, successful in obtaining spat on the shells which they exposed for that purpose, but serious losses resulted from the failure of any lessees to remove starfish from grounds on which spat was to be planted. This resulted in 1933 in attempts to rear spat to a larger size near the heads of the inlets, where star fi sh are less numerous, and in mopping for starfish. Small oysters: purchased from the department survived well in almost all cases, showing that oysters over one year old are free from serious loss from starfish, and this created a much greater demand for small oysters for stocking purposes, which was met in part by sales by the department, and in larger part by issuing permits to lessees authorizin'g the picking by hand of oysters in the shore zone where natural mortality is high. By the beginning of December; 1933, operations had been started on 45 areas in the Malpeque Bay region for 33 of which, amounting to about 140 acres, the leases had been completed. On these areas 153.!,- barrels of oysters purchased from the department and 440 barrels picked by the lessees were planted. More of each would have been used except for an unusually early freeze-up. Over 800 bushels of shells in wire bags and a larger quantity of shells spread directly on the areas were used for eultch in addition to trials of cardboard collectors, brush, etc. Forty-two barrels of oysters were taken and sold from three of these areas. Outside the Malpeque Bay region a number of areas have been leased. In Savage bay three leases, comprising about eight acres, have been issued. On these 58 barrels of oysters were planted in 1933 and a great deal of work was done in removing mussels and improvement of the grounds. In Covehead bay six areas, comprising about 33 acres , have been leased on which 370 barrels of oysters were planted in 1933 and much labour spent in removing mussels and spreading shells, and from which 50 barrels of oysters were taken for sale. These two bays are on the north shore of the province, east of Malpeque bay. General conditions in them are similar to those in Malpeque bay, but they were not reached by the disease of 1914-1916 so that it lias been possible to utilize stock from the Charlottetown areas to establish oyster culture in them. Foxley river is tributary to Caseumpeque bay in whieh conditions are closely similar to those in Malpeque bay, and to which the disease spread from the latter. In Foxley river two areas, amounting to about eight acres, were leased and operations commenced on them, including the improvement of muddy bottom with sand and the planting of 17 barrels of oysters.

It will be seen that, in all, over 1,200 barrels of oysters have been planted in addition to large quantities of shells with spat or to collect spat, while about 100 barrels have been fished for sale, so that a much higher production is promised in the near future. Experimental Farming in the Malpe que Bay Area.—Experimental farming on areas reserved for that purpose in Bideford river (tributary to Malpeque bay) has had as its aims the development of oyster cultural methods suitable to our conditions, their demonstration to the industry, and the provision of stock for the establishment of oyster farming in other parts of the Malpeque and Cascum- peque Bay districts. The last purpose—provision of stock to lessees--was served in 1933 by the sale of 153i barrels of small oysters for planting purposes. A demand existed for more than double that amount and would have been largely satisfied if delivery had not been prevented by an exceptionally early freeze-up. A price of $2 per barrel was charged, at which the oysters represent a very profitable investment to the purchaser, thus encouraging the stocking of the leased ground and the increase of oyster production. In 1933, 7591 barrels of oysters were fished on the department's reserved areas, of which 64 barrels were obtained in the shore zone and 6951 barrels on beds previously stocked by the department. Of these 1531 barrels were sold to lessees for planting, as mentioned above, and 3261 barrels were marketed, the total return from all sales being $1,768.15. The yield and the sale of oysters could have been increased if the freeze-up had not been unusually early. Replant- ings on the department's areas totalled 2651 barrels. Oysters used in these replantings were obtained largely from the separation of clusters; 170 barrels were small oysters and 951 barrels large, the shape and quality of which will be improved by planting singly in their new situation. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 169

Results of Cultivating Experimental Plots.—The results of experiments in oyster cultural methods are evident only in a consideration of individual trials. Owing to the thne required by oysters to reach marketable size--three to five years—the final yield of most of the experiments cannot yet be reported but two examples are available, one of the effects of planting spat collected on shells and one of a trial transfer from the head of the inlet to an area producing high quality. (a) Planting of Spat.—An area of about is of an acre on the " Totten " bed in the department's reserved area at the head of Bideford river was cleaned by tongers in 1929 and thoroughly mopped for starfish. On it were planted about 400 bushels of shells on which a set of spat had been obtained by exposing them in wire bags and in heaps on shallow shores. In August, 1932, 140 barrels of oysters were taken from half of the area. In 1933 an additional 216 barrels were taken, of which about half were of the original planted spat and the remainder younger. In addition there were left on the bed all the oysters smaller than 14 to 2 inches, and an estimated quantity of 50 barrels of larger oysters missed by the tongers (about one barrel per man was obtained on the last day). To summarize:— 1929—Shells with spat planted c 1.400 bush. 1932—Oysters fished largely 1929 spat) 140 bbls. 1933--Oysters fished 1929 spat) 216 " Estimated left on bed, in addition to many very small oysters 50 "

409 bbls. This represents a yield, four years after planting, of over 1,200 barrels per acre, not counting many small oysters left on the bed. This yield was actually too high, i.e., the crowding produced a relatively poor shape. This could have been overcome, however, by separation of clusters in 1931 and planting the singled oysters on a larger area, and the trial demonstrates that a very high production is possible in the district. (b) Transfer of Oysters.—In 1930, 210 .barrels of small oysters from the shores at the head of Bideford river were planted on a part of the Cooper bed- a ground further down the inlet which in the past produced oysters of very high quality. In 1933 this plot was fished in an attempt to obtain from it as many marketable oysters as possible. It was found that only half, or slightly less, had reached or passed marketable size and of this half of the population 120-15 barrels were taken. Judging from the daily catches it was estimated that only about three-quarters had been obtained as it becomes less profitable to fish on an area when the oysters become less abundant and tongers cannot therefore obtain all the oysters without persistent effort. It is seen that if all had been obtained about 160 barrels would have been taken and as only half were large enough to remove we are forced to conclude that about 320 barrels of oysters were on the area before fishing commenced. We have, then, over 300 barrels resulting in three years from a planting of 210 barrels. As regards quality, the oysters planted were very poor—thin shells, crooked shape, poor meats. Those obtained in 1933 had excellent meats and thick shells. The smallest (which were presumably quite small when transferred) were of very good shape while those which were larger when transferred were of poorer, but improved, shape. The transfer resulted in a good survival, a slow growth and a great improvement in shape. General Development of Oyster Cultural illethods.—Seientifie investigations were directed at first towards a study of the conditions in the area and to the development of spat production. It was found that owing to higher temperatures in them in summer the heads of the inlets only could be expected to give con- -170 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

sistent production of spat. At the heads the department has succeeded, in each year from 1929 to 1933, in obtaining good "sets" of spat on suitable clutch—e.g. 2,000 to over 5,000 spat per bushel of shells exposed in wire bags. Methods of spat production are still under investigation with a view to finding improvements, but it is evident that spat can be produced in good paying quantities with fair reliability. Early trials soon indicated a good survival of oysters after the size of 1-.1; to 2 inches had been reached. The most difficult step in oyster culture in the region has been found to be the rearing of spat from the time of their settling to the above size, vehich is attained about the end of the second summer. It is apparent that destruction by starfish is the chief cause of the serious losses of young oysters. Special effort is being directed towards the development of methods of . rearing spat to a relatively safe size out of reach of the starfish. Results have hitherto been encouraging. Shells in wire bags suspended from floats have produced a lower mortality, a better growth and more even distribution of the spat when compared with bags stooked on the bottom. Separated spat reared on floats during their second summer have shown a very much lower mortality and a more rapid growth than spat spread on the bottom and it is believed that, when further developed, this method will be more profitable than the planting of spat directly on beds. Experiments have also been carried on in the improvement of soft botton-is and satisfactory results have been obtained in the hardening of soft mud with sand. Other lines of investigation include improvement of forms of clinch, study of the effects of separation and transfer on shape and growth, and a great many minor subjects. OYSTER INVESTIGATIONS AT SHEDIAC IN 1933 The investigations at Shediac in 1933 included three chief items—experimental transplantation of oysters from the upper Richibucto river, further trials in spat collection, and survey of the existing populations to define a reserve. Transfer of Oysters from the Richibucto River.—One hundred and thirteen barrels of oysters from the upper Richibucto river were transferred early in June to a bed cleaned for that purpose in Shediac bay. Taken from waters of low salinity, where the quality was too poor for the market, and planted on an area of high salinity, a considerable mortality resulted but the surviving oysters grew and had commenced to improve in shape before the end of the season. It is indicated that with modifications this method may be of value in stocking areas in Shediac bay but a greater time in their present situation is necessary to determine the final results of the transfer. Collection of Spat.—Exposure of clean shells in wire baskets at various times and places met with slightly better success than in 1932, but the " set" obtained was very poor. In 1932 it was nil. Observations indicated that it was similarly poor on natural materials, although the oysters spawned thoroughly. Choice of a Reserve.—In 1932, though oysters spawned throughout the area, practically no spat was collected in the trials conducted and little was found on natural objects,—none being found except on one bar. The statistics of the fishery in the past indicate that the catch was early reduced to a low level and that it has since shown erratic and considerable fluctuations, with an irregular production of spat and the occurrence in former years of failure similar. to that in 1932. A progressive increase in the yield occurred during the years following 1893 when the Department of Fisheries established a reserve, but when this was no longer operated the catch was again reckiced. The beneficial effects of the maintenance of a sufficient spawning stock over periods of poor spat production were REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 171 • evident. Without such a reserve the failures in spat production make the area particularly susceptible to depletion, and one was established in 1933. In 1933 experimental tonging indicated a larger population and a higher proportion of small sizes than was expected from the 1932 results. This was due, in part at least, to a slower growth than was expected and to consequent failure of the smaller sizes to grow to marketable size and be fished. The survey confirmed the lack of oysters spawned in 1931, 1932 and 1933 and the consequent probable fall of the catch in the near future. The need for a reserve is again emphasized, and an area (bar off Indian Island) was selected for this purpose as being close to the chief centre of production and having a high proportion of small oysters thus causing little immediate hardship to fishermen in reserving it. Public Health Survey.—A survey by the Department of Pensions and National Health indicated the presence of a degree of pollution sufficient to necessitate further investigation. Scientific Investigation by the Biological Board.—Work designed to throw light on the factors causing failures in spat production, and the general conditions of the area, was interrupted at the beginning of the most important season by the sudden illness of the investigator employed in it.

SCALLOP INVESTIGATIONS IN 1933 • REPORT BY CHAS. BRUCE, A.M.E.I.C., FISHERIES ENGINEER In view of strong representations to the department that, while previous exploratory work for the location of scallop beds around Isle Madame in Rich- mond county, N.S., had not located beds of commercial importance, the peti- tioners believed such areas to exist, further work was done during the year. While in some areas good bottom for scallops was found, in a total of 34,050 yards of dragging only 192 live scallops were taken, not sufficient to be of any value to commercial fishing. Early in the season reports reached the department that fishermen, who had equipped for fishing scallops off the north and east coasts of Prince Edward Island, where exploratory- work in 1932 had resulted in the location of some large and promising beds, were unable to locate these scallops. In response to the request that aid be given, the scallop dredge, A. Halkett, went over this ground again during the season and as a result of investigations it was discovered that where scallops could be taken in good quantities the previous year, they lin.d apparently been attacked by disease. In many instances as many as 75 per cent of the scallops taken in the drags were dead. This condition was referred to the Biological Board and, while probably no remedial measures are feasible, the board is investigating to determine, if possible, the cause of the heavy mortality. In 1932 scallop beds of distinct importance were located off the coast of Charlotte county, N.B., and full advantage was taken of this by the local fishermen during the autumn and winter following. In some instances the beds were not very large and as the fishing was rather intensive, some of them were soon depleted. As this fishery has proved a lucrative one to those engaged in it, the department acceded to -the request that it do further exploratory work in the hope that other beds might be located. The coast around Grand Manan Island, and the mainland as far east as Chance harbour, St. John county, was explored at likely places, a total of 65,500 yards being dragged. Two beds which gave promise of Containing scallops in paying quantities were located, one in St. Andrews bay, between Fairhaven and St. Andrews island, were 503 scallops were taken in 9,400 yards of dragging, and another outside Spruce island, West Isles. After the season opened in the autumn, it was reported that boats had obtained twenty gallons of scallops in five hours' dragging • on the St. Andrews Bay bed. The season was late for a complete investigation of the Spruce Island area, but the pilot, a local fisherman, was satisfied from the prospects that it contained scallops in commercial quantities. East of Wolf island a bed was located which it was considered offered a fair prospect of providing commercial fishing.

FISHERIES STATISTICS 3

PREF,ACE This Report is issued under an arrangement for statistical co-operation between the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Government departments having jurisdiction with, regard to fisheries throughout Canada. These departments comprise: The Dominion Fisheries Department which exercis.es jurisdiction oVer the fisheries of the Maritime provinces, the Yukon Territory, British Columbia and the Magdalen Islands, and the Fisheries Branches of departments of Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta which have jurisdiction over the fisheries of their respective provinces, excepting in the case of Quebec, the fisheries of the Magdalen Islands. The province of British Columbia has a Fisheries Branch, but it does not engage in independent statistical work. Under the arrangement above referred to, the statistics of the catch, and of the products marketed in a fresh state or domestically prepared, are collected by the local fisheries officers, checked in the Department of Fisheries, and compiled in the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. In the case of manu- factured fish products, schedules in conformity with those of other sections of the Census of Industry are sent by the Bureau to the operators of canneries, fish-curing establishments, etc., the fisheries officers assisting in securing an expeditious and accurate return. The grateful acknowledgments of the Bureau are tendered to the officers of the provincial governments who co-operate in these arrangements.

THE FISHERIES OF CANADA

The Early_ Fisheries.—Fishing is one of the earliest and most historic industries of Canada. Leaving aside inconclusiVe evidence in favour of authentic records, one must ascribe to Cabot the honour of having discovered,. in 1497, the cod banks of Newfoundland, when he first sighted the mainland of North America. He reported that the sea was so covered with fish that they could be caught " with baskets, a stone being attached to niake the basket sink, in the water." Cape Breton, one of the oldest place-names in America, is a memorial Of the early French 'fishermen--and the Spaniards and the Portuguese were but little behind. Ferdandez de Navarette mentions all three as frequenters of the "Grand Bank" before 1502. The fishing was by hand lines over barrels made fast to the bulwarks to prevent fouling, the vessels remaining during fine weather, then returning to France with from 30,000 to 50,000 cod. Voyages along the coast soon showed the cod as plentiful inshore as on the outer banks> and it becctme common for a crew to anchor in a bay, erect a hut on shore, and make daily excursions to the fishing grounds—the product being salted and dried on land and at the end of the season shipped to France. Jacques Cartier, when he went up the St. Lawrence in 1534, found traces everywhere of these early "Cap- tains Courageous " and of their rivalries in arms no less than in the capture of the teeming product which had tempted them so far from home. An establishment of the kind just mentioned was founded at Tadoussac by Chauvin in 1599. Soon the fishermen began to stay all winter and thus to erect permanent fishing settlements. The first grant of the fisheries of Canada was made by the King of France to de Monts in 1603. Fishing, therefore, may well be regarded as the first industry to be systematically prosecuted by Europeans in what is to-day the Canadian domain. It has never since ceased to yield a perennial harvest both to Europe and America. By the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, Bri,tain became the owner of Newfound- land and excluded France from fishing and drying fish on certain sections of the coast, but France retained the Fisheries of Cape Breton and the Gulf. The Seven Years' War (1756-1763) put a stop to continuous fishing. At its close the Robin family of Jersey came to Canada, and gradually acquired the former French fishing stations. Until the arrival of the Loyalists all other fishing but cod was neglected. Inshore fisheries alone (including those of the Labrador coast) were developed during this phase; no deep-sea fishing vessel put out from Lunenburg, now the chief centre of the deep-sea fishery, until 1873. The Canadian Fishing Grounds.—Canada's fishing grounds are perhaps the most extensive in the work/. On the Atlantic, from Grand Manan to Labrador, the coast line, not including the lesser bays and indentations, measures over 5,000 miles. The bay of Fundy, 8,000 square miles in extent, the gulf of St. Lawrence, fully ten times that size ; and other ocean waters comprise not less than 200,000 square miles or over four-fifths of the area of the fishing grounds of the North Atlantic. In addition there are on the Atlantic seaboard 15,000 square miles of inshore waters co-n,trolled entirely by the Dominion. Large as are these areas they represent only a part of the fishing grounds of Canada. The Pacific coast of the Dominion measures 7,180 miles in length and is exceptionally well sheltered, whilst throughout the interior is a series of lakes which together contain, more than half of the fresh water on the planet, Canada's share of the THE ATLANTIC FISHERIES.

FISHERIES STATISTICS 5 Great Lakes alone amounting to over 34,000 square mues, a total which of course does not include lake Winnipeg (9,457 square miles), lake Manitoba, and others of even greater area. Still more important than the extent of the Canadian fishing grounds is the quality of their product. It is an axiom among authorities that food fishes improve in proportion to the purity and coldness of the waters in which they are taken. Judged by this standard, the Canadian cod, halibut, herring, mackerel, whitefish and sa/mon are the peers of any in the world. It is possible, therefore, to state that by far the most valuable fisheries of the western hemisphere, if nat of the globe, belong to Canada. It will be seen from the foregoing that it i,s impossible to deal with the Canadian fisheries in the aggregate; they are those of a continent rather than of a country, and are of corresponding diversity. Omitting the Hudson Bay and peri-Arctic region, which extends from Ungava to Alaska, there are roughly the following divisions of the Canadian fisheries:

I. ATLANTIC FISHERIES.—These were the first Canadian fisheries in point of time and until 1918 they remained the most important for aggregate value of product. Cod, halibut, haddock, herring, ?mackerel, lobster, oyster and sardine fisheries are inctuded. The estua rian and inland waters of the Maritime provinces and of Quebec are sometimes considered as distinct; if they arc added, the list of products would embrace the salmon, the shad, the alewife, the snzelt, the striped bass, the tom cod, and the maskineme. Conditions are fairly 'uniform throughout these fisheries', which are comnzonly divided into the inshore and deep-sea fisheries. The inshore or coastal fishery is carried on in small boats usually motor driven, with crews of two or three men, and in a class of small vessels with crews of from four to SCVC72, men. The means of capture employed by boat fishermen are gill nets and hooks and lines, both hand tines and trawls; whilst from the shore are operated trap nets, haul seines and weirs. Haddock as well as cod is a sta. ple product; during the spring and summer it is split and salted but the important season comes with the autumn , when the fish are shipped fresh or smoked. The deep-sea fisheries are worked by vessels of from 40 to 100 tons, carrying from twelve to twenty men operating with trawl lines from dories. The fleets operate on the various fishing banks, such as Grand Bank, Middle Ground and Ban quereau. The vessels, built in the home ship- yards, remain at sea, sometimes for months at a tinze, and in the hands of sailors who have no superior, seldom come to grief. When they return, the fish, which have been split and salted on board, are taken on shore and washed and dried. The West Indies provide the chief market for this product; no cod fish in the world stands the tropical climate like that cured by the fishermen of the Mari- time provinces. Steam, trawling as it is carried on in the North Sea, was introduced on the Atlantic coast of Canada a number of years ago. The trawlers operate practically the whole year and their catches are utilized entirely for the fresh, fish trade. Lobstering, which had its beginning about 1870, is another distinctive industry. In that year there were three lobster canneries on the Atlantic coast of Canada; in 1933 the canneries numbered 329 and gave work to 6,162 people; 30,000,000 lobsters is a normal catch. The difficulty of enforcùzg regulations prohibiting the capture of undersized and spawning lobsters offers a constant problem in connection with the output, but With the co-operation of the fishermen thenzselves the fishery may be maintained and the annual harvest show no decline. In New Brunswick the canning of sardines, which arc young herrings and not a distinct type of fish> equals in importance the lobster industry. Oysters once plentiful everywhere are ?low found in diminished quantities, but the Gov- ;rt

6 FISHERIES STATISTICS

ernment is expecting to restore the industry through the development of oyster farming; favourable areas in Prince Edward Island waters have been seeded, and the work in connection with the oyster culture is being carried on under the direction of experts.

The fi shing population of the Maritime provinces is a specialized and stable industrial class. The coast-wise fisheries are operated from _April to November, or to January in sheltered districts; and though the larger vessels work all winter, several thousand men are available for a time each year for other employment. This they find about the small plots of land which the most of them own or occupy, in the lumber camps of New Brunswick, or in the collieries of Nova Scotia. A few from Lunenburg and other centres engage in the West Indian trade. Apart from restrictions of weather and close seasons, the prevailing method of paying the men on shares has a further tendency in years of low catches or prices to drive. them into secondary occupations.

2. INLAND PISLIERIES.—The Great Lakes and tributary waters of the St. Lawrence are a second great division of the Canadian fisheries. The value of the inland fisheries of Quebec lies chiefly in the output of the eel, doré (pickerel), smelt and sturgeon fisheries. In Ontario, whitefish, trout, pickerel and lake herring are the most important commercial fishes, though pike, sturgeon and coarse fish yield a fair return. The season on the Great Lakes lasts from six to eight months, and though fishing through the ice is f °flowed by many a large number depend on miscellaneous employment between the seasons. Moving westward, lake Winnipeg, lake -Winnipegosis, lake Manitoba and the smaller lakes to the north and east furnish most of the fish products of Manitoba. Whitefish and pickere/ are the chief products, but pike, tullibee, goldeye and many other varieties abound. In, ,Saskatchewan and Alberta commercial fishing i,s confined to the regions north of the 'Saskatchewan river, where whitefish in large quantities are taken. The problem, of transportation is keenly felt; some of the greatest lakes of the continent—Reindeer, Athabaska, Great Slalm, Great Bear—and hundreds of smaller bodies of water are still beyond reach from a marketing point of view. The lakes of the west, however/ repeating the part which the St. Lawrence played in the days of the French regime, and the cod banks in, the history of New England, have assisted greatly in the settlement of the country by providing a much needed food supply for early arrivals.

3. PACIFIC FISHERIES.—In British Columbia there is an interior fishing region which corresponds in the main to the prairie section; in the early history of the province it is doubtful if the fur trade (which opened the door by way of the Rocky Mountains to later enterprise) could have established its footing but for these fisheries. The great wealth of British Columbia, however, in this respect—the source from which she produces approximately two-fifths of the fish products of Canada, and has built up a trade which reaches to the ends of the earth—is in the estuarian salmon fisheries of the Fraser, the Skeena, the Naas, and other rivers of the Pacific slope. Every species of this king of food fishes known to the waters of the Pacific (which, however, is not the true salmon) is to be found on the British Columbia coast—the sockeye, the spring, the cohoe, the pink and the chum salmon. Of these, the sockeye is by far the most important, owing to its abundance and to its prevailing deep red colour and excellent texture, which have created so keen a demand for it in the British market. On the Fraser river, which used to be the chief source of supply, but which has now yielded place to the Skeena and other northern waters, the yie/d varies to a considerable extent from year to year. The run begins late in July and is at its height in the opening weeks of August, though the northern rivers have a somewhat earlier season. The spring or quinnat salmon is a much larger FISHERIES STATISTICS 7 fish; it was the species first used in the United States for canning. The run begins early in the spring and continues until July. The cohoes are smaller, running like i• the sockeye in compact schools, during September and October on the Fraser and earlier on the northern streams. The chum salmon i,s canned and a considerable quantity also is salted for export to the Orient. The pink salmon again, follows the sockeye. Many of the employees in the salmon fishery are Chinese, Japanese and Indians, the Chinese preponderating in the canneries and the Indians and Japanese in the fishing operations. Halibut abounds off Vancouver island and between the Queen Charlotte Islands and the mainland, and though the first endeavour to establish an industry was unsuccessful, by 1903 British Columbia supplied 10,000,000 pounds of 25,000,000 pounds taken on the whole Pacific coast north of California. The former figure has since, in many years, been trebled, although after 1930 the catch lessened owing to the restrictions imposed by the provisions of the Treaty signed by Canada and the United States for the conservation of this fishery. The annual catch of herring in British Columbia represents about 5r1 per cent of the total catch of sea herring for the Dominion, and nearly the whole of it is dry-salted for export to China and Japan. The pilchard fishery has become of importance in recent years, the greater part of the catch being used in the manufacture of oil and meal, of which large quantities are produced annually. There is also the whale fishery which has two stations on the Queen Charlotte Islands, The catch includes whales of many kinds—sulphur bottom, finback, and humpback with an occasional sperm, whale. Whale hunting is carried on in fast boats with Svend Foyn harpoon guns—a method which was intro- , duced from Norzvay. Every scrap of the whale is used—oil, meal and fertilizer are its more important products. Black and ling cod, oulachon, flounders, skate, soles, smelts, and sturgeon are also abundant in British Columbia waters. A word might be adde d with regard to the Canadian fur-seal fisheries of the Pacific whose historic headquarters were the city of Victoria. The industry has disappeared, in part through the scarcity of the animals, and in part through the workings of the Pelagic sealing treaty of 1911. This Treaty was made in the interests of the conservation of the seal herds, and under its ternis pelagic or open-sea fishing is prohibited. As compensation for the suspension of her sealing privileges Canada receives annually from, the governments of the United States, Russia and Japan a share of the proceeds of the sealing on the Pribaloff islands and other rookeries owned by the respective countries. The Indians of the Pacific coast are exempt from the provisions of the Treaty inasmuch as they are allowed to hunt seals from open boats manned by not more than five persons, and without the use of firearms. Gaine Fish.—The above is a purely industrial and commercial survey. Fishing for sport, however, has its economic side in a country of such famous game fish as the salmon of the Restigouche and other rivers of the Maritime provinces, the black bass and speckled trout of the Quebec and Ontario high- lands, the red trout of the Nipigon and the salmon and rainbow trout of British Columbia. A considerable public revenue is derived frOln the leasing of waters in sparsely settled districts to clubs and individuals for sporting purposes. Sev- eral hundreds of guides find em,ployment here during the summer months.

The Government and the Fisheries.—At Confederation, the administration of the Canadian fisheries and marine was placed in the charge of a department of the Dominion government which then exercised complete jurisdiction over the fisheries, under the supervision of a Cabinet Mini,ster, with a large staff of inspectors, overseers and guardians to enforce the fishery laws. In 1930 the Department of Marine and Fisheries was divided, and separate depart- 8 FISHERIES STATISTICS

ments, each in charge of a Cabinet Minister, were created to administer respectively the marine and the fisheries. In 1882, 1898, 1913 and 1920 decisions in the courts considerably altered the status of jurisdiction as between the Dominion and the provinces, and further changes were effected in 1922, when the Dominion Government transferred to the province of Quebec the administration of the fisheries of that province, with the exception of the fisheries of the Magdalen Islands, and again in 1930 when the fisheries of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta were transferred, with the other natural resources, to the Governments of those provinces. To-day the Dominion controls the tidal fisheries of the Maritime provinces and British Columbia and the fisheries of the Magdalen Islands in Quebec province. The non-tidal fisheries of the Maritime provinces, Ontario and the Prairie provinces, and both the tidal and non-tidal fisheries of Quebec (excepting the Magdalen Islands) are controlled by the respective provinces, but the right of fisheries legislation for all provinces rests with the Dominion govern, ment. The expenditure of the Dominion on the Fisheries in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1934, was $1,599,567, and its revenue $132,581. Conservation.—River and lake fisheries certainly, and sea fisheries probably, if left to themselves, conform to the economic law of diminishing returns. The Canadian government, accordingly, has had for a main object the prevention of depletion, the enforcement of close secisons, the forbidding of obstructions and pollutions, and the regulation of nets, gear and of fishing operations generally. In addition, an extensive system of fish culture has been organized; in 1933 -the Dominion operated, 24 main hatcheries, 9 subsidiary hatcheries and 8 salmon retaining ponds at a cost of $205,682, and distributed 109,498,454 salmon and trout eggs, fry and older fish. The young fish are distributed gratis if the waters in which they are to be placed are suitable and are open to public fishing. Scientific Research.—Stations under the direction of the Biological Board of Canada for the conduct of 'biological research into the numerous conzplex problems furnished by the fisheries are established at Halifax, N.S., St. Andrews, N.B., and Nanaimo and Prince Rupert, B.C. The biological stations at Si. and Nanaimo are concerned chiefly with problems of fish life, while at Andrews the fisheries experimental stations at Halifax and Prince Rupert, attention is devoted to the practical problems of the fishing industry. A marine biological station, chiefly for oyster investigation work, is conducted at Ellerslie, P.E.I., and a sub-station for salmon investigations at Cultus Lake, B.C. The Biological Board employs a permanent staff of scientists, and in addition, Toronto, McGill, 'Queens, Manitoba, British Columbia and the chief Maritime province universi- ties send workers to the several stations, chiefly professors and trained scientists. The life-histories of edible fishes, the bacteriology of fresh and cured fish, improved methods of handling and preparing fish, and numerous other practical problems have been taken up and scientific memoirs and reports issued. Direct Assistance.—In the field of direct assistance, apart from the fishing bounty payments, which are referred to in another paragraph, the government has taken various steps from time to time. Beginning in 1927, fish collection services have been operated on several stretches of the Atlantic coast by the Department of Fisheries. By the operation of these services fishermen in the territories coe- ered by the fish collection boats are enabled to sell their catches promptly and have them delivered to purchasers at central points at a small cost per hundredweight of fish. Thus the areas that have the facilities of the fresh fish markets aVailable to them have been considerably extended at a time when the f,sh ›trade is àf growing importance. The fishermen are able to obtain returns from thé ir labour earlier than woUld otherwise be possible, and there is the further benefit to them that theY can devote to the actual process of catching fish time which formerly they were compelled to employ in preparing their catches for the FISHERIES STATISTICS 9 dried and cured ft,sh markets. As another step to assist the fishermen a system has been established of broad.casting radio reports as to weather probabilities, bait and ice supplies, icé conditions along the coast, and prevailing local fish prices. During most of the season these radio reports are broadcast twice daily from Halifax and Louisburg, and the weather reports are also broadcast from Saint John. As most of the fishing vessels are now equipped with radio receiving sets this service has proved of much value. Telegraphic information as to bait supplies on the coast is also made available daily by the Department of Fisheries in a number of fishing ports during spring and summer months. For several years past bounties have been paid for the destruction of harbour seals in certain areas. With a view of improving the quality of Canadian cured herring, an expert was employed for SOMC time by the government to conduct' demonstrations in the Scottish method of curing these fish. Under authority of the Fish Inspection Act, systems of instruction in improved methods of fish-curing and barrel-making and of the inspection of cured fish by specially appointed officials have been in operation for several years. The Government also employs an expert in fish cookery, who visits the larger centres to lecture on the values of fish and to give demonstrations of the various zvays of preparing food it for the table. To prevent poaching and to assist in the proper enforcement of fisheries regulations a fleet of vessels patrols the coastal and inland waters. Scientific research and experimentation on behalf of the fishing industry have been carried on for some years at government scientific stations. Reference to this phase of effort on behalf of the industry is made in the paragraph dealing with scientific research on the preceding page. International Problems.—So rich a fishing area as the north Atlantic could not fail to attract other countries, and old customs became elevated into rights, some of tvhich have lasted until the present. The French shore is a New- foundland question, now a sentimental one entirely. Very different is the question of the rights of the United States, whose fishermen in the colonial period provided the chief food supply for New England and who were granted by the Treaty of Versailles, 1783, a specific liberty to a share of the Canadian inshore fisheries. Losing this by the war of 1812, the United States after 1818 sur- rendered all but their liberty to call at Canadian ports for shelter, wood or waters to make repairs, and to fish around the Magdalen Islands and on the north or shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence from Point Joli eastward, and to dry and cure their fish in any of the unsettled bays, harbours, and creeks on this portion of the North shore. In the years 1854-180, the Reciprocity Treaty set at rest for the time questions of interpretations to be placed on certain parts of the Treaty of 1818. The former Treaty provided for the admission into either country, duty free, of the fish and fish products of the other, and United States fishermen were allowed to fish in Canadian Atlantic territorial waters and Cana- dian fishermen in certain United States territorial waters on that coast, with the exception in either instance of rivers and mouths of rivers, and for shell fish. In 1871, the Treaty of Washington revived the fishery provisions of the Recipro- city Treaty of 1854, and provided for the appointment of a commission to determine the amount of compensation to be paid by the United States to Great. Britain as the difference in the value of the concessions mutually granted. This commission sat in Halifax in 1877, and its findings have since been known as the " Halifax Award." The amount of the award was 85,500,000, of which $1,000,000 was apportioned to Newfoundland. In 1885, however, the United States terminated the fisheries articles of this Treaty, and a period of disagreement between the countries followed. A settlement was negotiated in 1888 when the plenipo- tentiaries appointed by the two nations agreed to what since has been 1,-,nown as the " Unratified Treaty of 1888," under the terms of which United States fishing 10 FISHERIES STATISTICS

vessels were to be granted, without fee, annual licences authorizing them to purchase in Canadian ports provisions and outfits, to tranship their catches and to ship crews. Out of this treaty grew the so-called modus vivendi licences. The treaty makers recognized that the treaty could not receive the sanction of the governments of the countries concerned before the commencement of the fishing season. and, as a temporary arrangement to last not longer than two years, it was agreed. that United States fishing vessels on the payment of a fee of 81.50 per registered ton, should receive annual licences conveying the privileges covered by the treaty. The treaty was rejected by the United States Senate, but Canada continued to issue modus vivendi licences up to 1918, when arrangements were made for reciprocal privileges in the ports of either country. This arrangement was terminated in the United States when their special war legislation under which it was made, ceased to be effective on July 1, 1921. The following year the modus vivendi licences were revived in Canada; but the system was discontinued at the end of 1923, and United States fishing vessels were for a number of years limited to the provisions of the Treaty of 1818. In 1933 a further arrangement was made and modus vivendi licenses are again being issued by Canada to the fishermen of the United States. - On the Great Lakes, also, the more important fishery problems such as re- stocking and marketing, are necessarily international in character, and are com- plicated by the number of state governments interested. Much the same situation has developed in British Columbia, where the sockeye of the Fraser are taken by the canners of Puget Sound in quantities that largely exceed the catch of the Canadian canners and by trap nets and other methods forbidden in. Canadian waters. In 1906 an international commission first discussed the question, while in 1922, prohibition of sockeye fishing in the Fraser for five years, with a view to conservation, was recommended by a Parliamentary conzmision. The Halibut Fishery on this side of the Pacific is engaged in only from Cana- dian and United States ports, but owing to the fact that it is largely carried on beyond territorial waters neither country alone can control it. At the same time it is in the interests of both countries that the fishery should be permanently maintained in, a flourishing condition. The question of finding an adequate method of dealing with the ?natter was therefore one of those that was referred to the Canaclian-Anzerican Fisheries Conference that was appointed in 1918 by the governnzents of the two countries to consider a settlement of outstanding fishery questions between Canada and the United States. In, 1922 Canada proposed that the halibut question should be considered by itself. This was agreed to, and resulted in the Treaty of the 2nd of March> 1923, "For the Protection of The Pacific Halibut." Under this Treaty a close season in each year was provided for halibut fishing. A further Convention, signed by the Plenipoten- tiaries of bnth countries al Ottawa on the 9th day of May, 1930, and ratified by the governments of the two countries on May 9, 1931, provided certain additional regulation,s in connection with the division of the waters into fishing areas, changing of dates for close seasons, etc.

Fishing Bounties.—An important though indirect aftermath of the Wash- ington Treaty remains. Bi an Act of 1882 (45 Viet., c. 18) for the development of the sea fisheries and the encouragement of boat building, provision was made for the distribution annually among fishermen and the owners of fishing boats of $150,000 in bounties, representing the interest on the amount of the Halifax award. An. Act of 1891 (54-55 Vict., c. 42) increased the anzount to $160,000, the details of the expenditure being settled each year by Order in Council. FISHERIES STATISTICS 11

Thé Modern Industry.—The existing fishing industry of Canada is the growth of the past century. In 1844, the estinzated value of the catch was oniy $125,000. It doubled in, the folloWing decade, and by 1860 had well passed the million mark. Ten years later it was six millions, and this was again more than doubled in 1878. In the 90's it passed twenty-millions, and in 1911, thirty-four millions. In 1933 it was twenty-seven millions but conditions in this year were adversely affected by the world-wide depression. The highest record was reached in 1918 with over sixty millions. It will be understood that these figures represent the total value of fish marketed, whether in a fresh, dried, canned or otherwise prepared state. Meanwhile the number of employees has mounted to 80,000, and the total capital invested to $41,000,000. The annual per capita consumption of fish in Canada is estimated at upwards of 21 pounds. Among individual fish products, the cod and the salmon long disputed the primacy; if the record back,. to the beginning 7.8 taken the cod is the most vatuabie fishery; in the past thirty years> however, the salmon has definitely taken the lead and the heavy pack and high price of lobsters have sent cod down to third place. This, has, of course, affected the relative standing of the. provinces accordingly, British Columbia now occupying the leadership that in earlier times belonged to Nova Scotia. Herz-ing took fourth place in 1933, among the chief commercial fishes.

Trade.—For reasons already noted, the domestic consumption of fish is relatively small in Canada, and the trade depends largely upon foreign markets. From 60 to 70 per cent of the annual capture is an average export, of which the United States takes approximately one-third and the United Kingdom one-fifth. In the calendar year 1933, total exports amounted to $20,223.610 of which $8,796,015 went to the United States and $4,384,007 to the United Kingdom. The most important single export is canned salmon (to the United Kingdom and European markets) follozved closely by canned lobsters, while cod, dry-salted (to the West Indies, South America. > etc.) is third in order of value. For fresh fish, especially whitefish and lobsters, the United States is the chief market. In, brief, Canada's export trade in fish falls below that of the United Kingdom and Norway alone; including Newfoundland it exceeds both. Canadian imports of fish in 1933, amounted to $1,694,325. 12 FISHERIES - STATISTICS FISHERIES STATISTICS OF CANADA, 1933 The total value of production of the fisheries of Canada for the year 1933 was $27,558,053, compared with $25,957,109 in 1932 and $30,517,306 in 1931. These totals represent the value of the product as marketed, whether sold for consumption fresh, domestically prepared or factory made. The following table shows the quantity caught and the value marketed of the chief commercial fishes (those valued at $100,000 or upwards) for the past five years, with a statement in the final column of the increase or decrease for 1933 compared with 1932. 1.

FISHERIES STATISTICS 13 The following review of the fisheries of Canada for the year 1933 is issued through the courtesy of the Deputy Minister of Fisheries, in whose department it WaS prepared. REVIEW. OF THE FISHERIES OF 1933 The year's total catch of all kinds of fish, both sea and inland, and including shellfish, amounted to 813,357,200 pounds having a marketed value of $27,558,053. In comparison with 1932 results these figures represent a decrease of 3,026,000 pounds in catch but an increase of $1,600,943 .in marketed value. Of the catch, 725,431,000 pounds were taken in the sea fisheries while 65,595,000 pounds were taken from the inland waters of Canada. The sea fisheries production had a marketed value of $23,494.695 and the inland fisheries output a value of S4,063,358. The total marketed value was divided among the provinces as follows: To British Columbia forty-three per cent, which is five per cent more than last year; the three Maritime Provinces thirty-six per cent; Quebec and Ontario seven and one-half each and the Prairie Provinces and Yukon the remainder. Major Fisheries.—The chief branch of the industry from the monetary standpoint is the salmon fishery, which had a total marketed value for the year of $9,758,346, of which British Columbia's share was 89,184,090, or 94 per cent. The lobster fishery ranked second, with a marketed value of $3,524,355, while the cod fishery dropped to $2,598,756. The whitefish fishery, which is the most important of the inland fisheries, had a marketed value of $1,136,400 which is only a little more than half what it was a few years ago, when market conditions were more favourable. Prince Edward Island.—There was a decrease of S146,574 in the marketed value of the fisheries of the province, the total amounting to $842,345 for the year. The lobster fishery is the largest branch of the industry in the island and had a marketed value of $591,801. The lobster catch of 9,154,700 pounds represents a decrease of 2,302,300 pounds from the precedina year. Increased catches of cod, hake, herring, mackerel and oysters were recolb.ded while declines were noted in the landings of haddock, smelts and clams. Nova Scotia.—The marketed value of the fisheries of this province was $6,010,601, as compared with $6,557,943, although the quantity of fish landed, 215,521,700 pounds, was 19,808,100 pounds more than in the previous year. Lobsters again led in point of marketed value ($1,884,715), while cod was second with a marketed value of $1,442,599. The catch of lobsters amounted to 17,685,800 pounds, a decrease of 6,037,200 pounds, while the catch of cod, 86,603,300 pounds represents an increase of 7,004,900 pounds. The catch of haddock dropped from 34,706,900 pounds in 1932 to 25,495,400 pounds in 1933, while the marketed value of $799,218 represents a decrease of $287,125. There were 20,970,600 pounds of mackerel taken, or nearly double the quantity of the year previous, with a corresponding increase in the value. The salmon and alewife catches were slightly less than in 1932 while the smelt catch of 682,800 pounds was only two-thirds of the previous year's landings. There were 450,000 pounds of tuna landed, which was nearly double the catch of 1932, and the 1,713,700 pounds of swordfish shows an increase of 677,800 pounds. The production of scallops, shelled, amounted to 61,500 gallons, an increase over the preceding year of 22,526 gallons. The quantity of fish meal produced rose from 2,909 tons to 4,015 tons. New Brunswick.—The fisheries of this province showed an increase in both catch and marketed value. The former, 129,995,200 pounds, shows an increase of 28,240,300 pounds, while the value, $3,061 , 152, represents a gain of $8,470. The 14 FISHERIES STATISTICS increased catches were chiefly in hake, herring and sardines. Roughly speaking, there were four and one-half million more pounds of hake, eleven and one-half million more pounds of herring and twelve and onerhalf million more pounds of sardines. The salmon catch, which is an important branch of the industry, was 2,261,300 pounds from the sea fisheries and 79,500 pounds from inland rivers and streams. The former figures represent an increase of more than 450,000 pounds, while the inland catch was slightly less than in 1932. The smelt is also one of the important species landed in the province but the catch, 5,244,400 pounds, shows quite a drop. The catch of lobsters was also less. Quebec.—Both the catch of fish and the marketed value show an increase for the year. The catch s'as 93,336,100 pounds, which was an increase of 1,364,200 pounds, and the market value of $2,128,471 was $312,927 greater than the 1932 value. The catch of cod, 51,496,200 pounds, increased by 5,423,100 pounds and the marketed value, $863,913, shows an increase of $215,191. The cod fishery is the most important branch of the fishing industry in this province. The second largest is the lobstery fishery, which showed a catch of 3,157,100 pounds for the year and a marketed value of $217,476. Both of these figures represent small decreases. The catch of salmon 1,262,800 pounds, shows a small increase, while the marketed value of $139,822' is almost 50 per cent greater. Increases were noted in the catches of smelts and caplin, while smaller catches of halibut, herring, mackerel, clams and scallops were reported. In the inland sections of the province increased catches of catfish, eels, herring, maskinonge, perch, pickerel, shad, salmon, smelts, sturgeon and whitefish were reported. In most cases the increases were not large. The marketed value of the inland fisheries was $527,001, an increase of almost $75,000, while that of the se.a fisheries, $1,601,470, was up about $238,000. Ontario.—Production and marketed value both fell off during the year. The catch, 29,201,200 pounds, was less by 1,661,500 pounds, while the marketed value of $2,089,842 shows a drop of $58,148. The trout and whitefish fisheries, which are the most important, showed decreases in both catch and marketed value. Blue piekerel and tullibee were taken in inere.ased quantities, while fewer herring, perch and sturgeon wero çaught. The catch of pike was praetieally the same as in the year previous. Manitoba.—Whitefish, pickerel and tullibee are the chief kinds of fish taken in Manitoba. In the case of tullibee, the year's catch, 1,812,600 pounds, and marketed value, $45,931, were less than in 1932. The catch of whitefish, 6,140,- 000 pounds, Shows a substantial increase of more than 750,000 pounds, but the marketed value of $434,922 deereased by almost $20,000. The catch of pickerel, 6,897,400 pounds, was eonsiderably greater than in 1932, but there was a drop in the marketed value of slightly more than $45,000. There were more perch and saugers taken, but the landings of goldeyes and pike were less. Saskatchewan.---Practically no change in the total market,ed value of this province is noted, the figures for the years J.933 and 1932 being $186,417 and $186,174, respectively. The chief .kind of fish is whitefish and the catch of 2,574,000 pounds in 1933 shows an increase of slightly more than 500,000 pounds. The marketed value, however, was less by $4,758. Increased catches were made of ling, pickerel, pike, trout and tullibee, with corresponding increases in marketed value. Alberta.—The total marketed value of the fisheries output of the province was $144,518 an amount slightly less than the production of 1932. The main fishery, that of whitefish, showed a catch of 1,396,900 pounds, or slightly more than in the year before, while the marketed value of $81,868, was less by about $10,000. Increased catches were reported for pickerel, pike and tullibee but there were smaller landings of trout. FISHERIES STATISTICS 15

British Columbia.—The total landings of fish in British Columbia were 295,800,500 pounds, having a -marketed value of $12,001,471. While the catch shows a drop of some 51,000,000 pounds, the marketed value increased by more than $2,000,000. The "big three " of the industry, salmon, halibut and herring, each showed a substantial improvement both in catch and marketed value. The salmon catch of 141,050,400 pounds had a marketed value of $9,184,090, herring landings were 107,737,300 pounds with a marketed value of $738,522, and the halibut catch was 17,081,300 pounds valued at $1,391,941. The pack of salmon amounted to 1,265,072 cases with a value of $7,428,123. This represents an increase of more than 180,000 cases and $1,000.000 in value. The quantity of dry salted herring, most of which is shipped to the orient, was almost double that of the year before, 51,302,400 pounds being produced. For some unknown reason, the pilchard run did not materialize and the landings of 12,101,300 pounds showed a drop of some 76,000,000 pounds. The quantities of pilchard meal and oil produced were, of course, in the same reduced proportions. Whaling operations were again carried on and the 209 whales captured had a marketed value of $110,030. Yukon Territory.—The commercial fisheries of . the Yukon are confined to a few varieties, the most important of which is salmon. The catch of this species, 50.000 pounds, shows a decrease of 13,000 pounds, while the marketed value of $7,500 is almost $2,000 less. The marketed value for the Territory was $17,100. ATLANTIC COAST RESULTS The total landings of fish and shellfish on the Atlantic coast during the year were 444,148,700 pounds as compared with 405,603,900 pounds in 1932. By provinces the catch was distributed as follows:— Province Pounds Nova Scotia 215,521,700 New Brunswick 112,943,600 Quebec 93,336,100 Prince Edward Island 22,347,300 Cod, Haddock, Hake and Cusk, and Pollock.—The total quantity of these varieties landed was 205,577,600 pounds as compared with 199,221,500 pounds in the year preceding. The landings of cod were greater than in 1932, each of the provinces contributing to this increase. Nova Scotia. and Quebec, where the heaviest cod landings are made. showed catches of 86,603,300 pounds and 51,496,200 pounds, respectively. The haddock landings were somewhat smaller than in 1932. In Nova Scotia, where the great bulk of the haddock is landed, the catch dropped from 34,706.900 pounds in 1932 to 25,495,400 pounds for the year under review. The quantity of hake and cusk landed increased somewhat, large catches being made by the county of Charlotte, New Brunswick. An increase was recorded here of 131 per cent, which is attributable to the bonuses paid on this species by the government of the province. A drop was recorded in the total catch of pollock, although New Brunswick had a slightly greater catch. These fish were landed only in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The total marketed value of the several species referred to in this paragraph was $3,611,704 as compared with $3,493,629 in 1932. The province of Nova Scotia showed a drop in value but there were increases in the other three provinces. Herring, Mackerel, and Sardines.—Increased catches were reported by the Atlantic coast provinces excepting Quebec. The total landings of the three kinds were 146,943,900 pounds to which the Province of New Brunswick contributed 75,206,100 pounds. Nova Scotia's catch of mackerel, 20,970,600 pounds, was almost double that of the preceding year, as was New Brunswick's catch of sardines, which a-mounted to 26,022,400 pounds. Decreased landings of herring 16 FISHERIES STATISTICS and mackerel were repôrted from Quebec. .The marketed Value' of the three kinds was $1,931,773, which was an increase of $493,040.. Sardines, with a marketed value of $622,531 in New Brunswick, 'acounted for about 40 per cent of the increase. • Flounders, Halibut and Swordfish.—While the catch of flounders decreased from 631,800 pounds to 612,600 pounds in 1933, there were increases in. the fandings. of halibut and swordfish. The catch of. halibut, 3,001,100 pounds, Showed an increase of 501,300 pounds, while - the quantity of swordfish taken, 1,713,700 pounds,.increased. by more than 677,000 pounds. .Swordfish are taken off Nova Scotia only and the greater part of the halibut and flounder catch is also landed from Nova Scotia waters. Halibut . had a ma.rketed value of $302,464, as compared • with $267.514 in 1932, while swordfish had a value of $208,038, or an increase of $108,000. Much better prices were realized by the fishermen for their catches during the season than. in the year before. . River Spawning Fish.—The catch of salmon; both sea and inland, amounted to 4,549,700 pounds or an increase of 656,000 pounds. The marketed value of $566,756 shows a proportionate increase. .The greatest catch of this species is Off the Northumberland Strait shore of New Brunswick, although a large catch is also made in Quebec. While smelts are landed in,all four provinces, the greatest catch is in New Brunswick where 5,244,400 pounds out of a total catch of 7,719,000 pounds was made. The marketed value of New Brunswick smelts was $315,485 out of a total of $490,716. There were smaller catches than in 1932 in each province, except in Quebec,' where' the increase amounted to 150,000 pounds. Alewives are, taken in quantities in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and a few.in Prince Edward Island. The total catch of 7,374,900 pounds shows a large gain* over the catch of the year previous, when 5,844,400 pounds were landed. The catch does not represent the plentifulness or scarcity of these fish as much larger quantities could be taken if there was a greater demand. Lobsters.—From the marketed value standpoint,. the lobster fishery is the most important branch of the fishing industry on the Atlantic, although some years ago the cod fishery held first place. The year's lobster catch, 37,491,600 pounds., had-a marketed value of $3,524,355. These figures represent a drop both in the catch and value. In 1932 the catch was 48,348,800 pounds and the marketed value $4,745,311. Each of the four provinces recorded a decreased catch in 1933, Nova Scotia's catch dropping 26 per cent, New Brunswick's 25 per cent, Prince Edward Island's 20 per cent and Quebec's three per cent. • Other Shellfish.—Among the other kinds of shellfish landed on the Atlantic coast clams and quahaugs had a marketed value Of $54,823 compared with $78,003 in thé year previous. New Brunswick, where the largest production occurs, showed a slight increase in the landings. Oysters are landed in all four , provinces but the landings are greatest in the.province of New Brunswick, where 10,162 barrels were taken. This is slightly less than in the year previous.- In Nova Scotia, 3,388 barrels were landed and in Prince Edward Island 6,643 barrels. In addition to clams and quahaugs and oysters, small quantities of crabs, mussels and winkles were landed. INLAND FISHERIES There were 65,575,300 pounds of fish taken in the inland waters of Canada, with a marketed value of $4,063,358, compared with landings of 63,496,300 pounds in 1932, having a marketed value of $4,194,022. In the inland waters of New Brunswick, shad are taken in the greatest numbers while salmon have the largest marketed value. During the year, the landings of both varieties showed a decrease. Eels, the most valuable catch in inland Quebec, were landed to the amount of 2,414,500 pounds, with a marketed value of $128,285. Taking the FISHERIESSTATISTICS: 37 inland Waters . as a whole,. the-most important species landed was the 'Whitefish, which had,a mark.eted -value of $1,136,400eomparedwrith41,193,634 -4u-4he:earlier year.

Herring.—The third large branch of . the industry on this coast is the herring fisliery. The catch of 107,737,300 pounds had a marketed value of $738,522, the landings increasing by 7,416,900 pounds, and- thé marketed value by $202,031. The greatest increase in the herring business Was in the trade with the Orient in the dry salted fish. . . ..

. 7 : Pilchards.—The pilchard, which is taken only on the Pacific coast, is used ahnost altogether in the production of .meal and oil. For some .unknown reason •these fish did not appear in anything like normal .numbers at the usual season in 1933 and such schools as were located later:on—and:only few schools were sightedwere far from shore. The. catch was . only 6,535,300 pounds with a marketed value of $77,464, as compared with 88,696,400 pounds and a value of 8383,920 in the year previous. The quantity of -meal produced was 1,108 tons, compared with 8,842 tons in 1932, and of oil 275,879 gallons, compared with 1,315,864 gallons. Other Fisheries.—Among the other kinds of fish landed by British Columbia fishermen are the different cods—black, grey, ling and red and rock—grayfish, uSed in the production of meal and oil; and shellfish, including clams, crabs, oysters and shrimps. One whaling station was operated in 1933, and the number of Whales reported taken was 209.

Details of Fish Canning and Curing Establishments Number of Establishments.-There were 620 fish canning and curing establishments in operation during the year 1933, divided by kind as follows: lobster canneries, 329; salmon canneries, 71,; clam canneries, 8; sardine canneries, 3; other fish canneries, 12; fish curing establishments, 170; freezing plants, 11; and reduction plants, 16. The fish canning and curing industry is confined to the provinces bordering on the sea, no establishments being recorded in the inland provinces. In the Atlantic coast provinces are located all of the lobster and sardine canneries and a few small salmon canneries, while all of the large salmon canneries are situated in British Columbia. Establishments of the other classifications are found on both coasts. The classification of the establishments is arranged as follows: any establishment having a production of canned fish is classified as a cannery, the principal kind of fish canned determining its special classification, as lobster cannery, salmon cannery, etc. Other establishments are classified according to the principal product, i.e., fish curing establishments are those having a production of fish smoked, dry-salted, boneless, etc.; reduction plants are those whose chief product is oil and meal; and freezing plants are those, whose output consists of fresh and frozen fish only. Compared with the preceding year the total number of establishments shows a decrease of 9- decreases being recorded for lobster and clam canneries and freezing and reduction plants, with increases for the other classifications. Employees and Salaries and Wages.-The total number of persons given employment in the establishments during the year 1933 was 14,042, this number comprising 473 salaried employees, 9,453 wage-earners, and 4,116 contract and piece workers. The employees classified as contract workers are recorded in the returns of the salmon canneries of British Columbia, where a large part of the work is done under contract, the contractor engaging and paying his own help and being himself paid by the cannery operator according to the quantity of fish packed. About 75 per cent of the workers in the British Columbia salmon canneries are so classified. Statistics of the total number of employees in the establishments are based on the average monthly employment of wage-earners, and the total number of salaried employees and contract workers for the full season, the procedure in revising the returns being as follows: on the report of each establishment an addition is made of the number of wage-earners shown for each month, and the resulting total is divided by the number of months the plant was operating during the year. For example, a cannery employs 12 persons in May, 14 in June, 12 in July and 10 in August-a total of 48. This total is divided by the number of months in operation, vii., 4, and the result gives the number of wage-earners for the establishment as 12. To this number is added the number of salaried employees and the number of contract and piece workers, which are recorded for the year or season and not by months. The final figure FISHERIES STATISTICS 27

will be the number of employees credited to the establishment for the year, and the compilation of these totals provides the number of employees in the industry. The period of employment varies with the length of the season of operations: the lobster canneries operate from one to three months, and the salmon canneries for longer periods, while many of the fish curing establishments operate during the entire year. In some of the canneries, also, fish curing operations are carried on prior to, und after the close of, the season for canning. The fluctuation in employment is indicated by the statistics of the number of wage-earners employed in each month. Monthly statistics for contract workers are not available, as, owing to the system of employing these workers through a contractor, the cannery operator keeps no monthly record of the number so employed, and is unable therefore, to include in his return any further particulars than the average number for the season and the sum paid to them. The total amount paid to all employees during the year was $3,024,068, an increase over the preceding year of $202,190, or 7 per cent. The following tables gives the number of employees according to the several classifications of employment, and the salaries and wages paid.

In salmon canneries, also, May and June are the months of highest employment, while in fish curing establishments the principal months are July to December. In June, the peak of employment for the year, the number of wage-earners was 8,400, and in May, 8,052. January with 922 persons on the pay-roll was the month of lowest employment. The average number of wage-earners for the period of 12 months was 3,435. Statistics of employment by months, for the industry as a whole, are given in the following table.

PRÉFACE

Ce rapport est publié en vertu d'une entente établissant la coopération en matière de statistique entre le Bureau Fédéral de la Statistique et les différents services gouvernementaux ayant juridiction sur les pêcheries canadiennes. Ces services comprennent le ministère fédéral des Pêcheries, qui exerce sa juridiction sur les pêcheries des Provinces Maritimes, du Yukon, de la Colombie Britannique et des îles de la Madeleine, et les Divisions des Pêcheries .des provinces d'Ontario, Québec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan et Alberta, qui régissent les pêcheries de leurs provinces respectives, sauf les pêcheries des îles de la Madeleine, en Québec, lesquelles sont sous la juridiction du ministère des Pêcheries du Dominion. La Colombie Britannique possède une Division des Pêcheries, mais cet organisme ne s'occupe pas de statistique pour son propre compte. En vertu de l'arrangement dont il est parlé plus haut, les statistiques du poisson pêché, et des produits offerts en vente à l'état frais ou après une pré- paration sommaire, sont recueillies par les fonctionnaires locaux du ministère des Pêcheries, vérifiées et condensées au ministère des Pêcheries, puis compilées au Bureau Fédéral de la Statistique. En ce qui concerne le poisson industrielle- ment préparé et ses sous-produits, des formules similaires à celles en usage dans le recensement des autres branches de la production sont envoyées directement par le Bureau aux usines poissonnières, les fonctionnaires des services des Pêcheries s'assurant que ces formules sont consciencieusement remplies et promptement retournées. Les fonctionnaires des gouvernements provinciaux voudront bien accepter nos remerciements pour le concours qu'ils nous ont prêté. R. H. COATS, Statisticien du Dominion.

LES PÊCHERIES DU CANADA

Le début des pêcheries.—La pêche est une des plus anciennes industries du Canada. Laissant de côté les traditions et les légendes pour s'en remettre aux faits établis, il faut admettre que c'est à Cabot que revient l'honneur d'avoir découvert, en 1497, les bancs de morue de Terre-Neuve, quand il vit pour la pre- mière fois la terre ferme de l'Amérique du Nord. Il rapporta que la mer y était si poissonneuse qu'il était possible de pêcher avec un panier dans lequel il y avait une pierre pour le faire plonger. Cap-Breton, l'un des plus anciens noms géogra- phiques de l'Amérique, est un souvenir des premiers pêcheurs français que les Espagnols et les Portugais ne tardèrent pas à suivre. Fernandez de Navarette nous apprend que des pêcheurs de ces trois nationalités fréquentaient le Grand Banc en 1502. La pêche se pratiquait au moyen de lignes à main passées sur des barils fixés à l'extérieur du passavant pour éviter le contact des lignes avec les flancs du navire; les bateaux de pêche se livraient à leur opérations tant que durait le beau temps, puis s'en retournaient en France avec leurs prises de 30,000 à 50,000 morues. Les voyages entrepris le long du littoral démontrèrent bientôt que la morue était aussi abondante en vue du rivage que sur les bancs lointains; les équipages s'accoutumèrent alors à jeter l'ancre dans une baie, à construire une hutte sur la grève et à faire dans leurs petites chaloupes des excursions quoti- diennes dont le produit était salé et séché à terre, puis expédié en France à la fin de la saison. Lorsqu'il remonta le Saint-Laurent, en 1534, Jacques-Cartier trouva partout les traces du passage de ces "capitaines courageux' et de leurs rivalités, lesquelles s'exerçaient aussi bien dans des rencontres armées que dans la capture du poisson qui les avait attirés si loin de chez eux. Chauvin fonda un établisse- ment de cette sorte à Tadoussac, en 1599. Bientôt après les pêcheurs s'habituèrent à passer l'hiver en Amérique et à y construire de véritables villages. La première Concession de pêche fut octroyée par le roi de France à de Monts, en 1603. On peut donc considérer la pêche comme la première industrie à laquelle se soient livrés systématiquement les Européens au Canada; depuis ces temps lointains elle n'a jamais cessé de donner sa récolte annuelle tant à l'Europequ'à l'Amérique. Le traité d'Utrecht de 1713 attribua Terre-Neuve à la Grande-Bretagne, dépossédant la France de son droit de pêcher et de faire sécher le poisson sur certaines sections du littoral de cette île, mais la France conserva les pêcheries de Cap-Breton et celles du golfe. La guerre de Sept Ans (1756-63) interrompit les opérations de pêche sur une vaste échelle. Lorsqu'elle se termina, la famille Robin, de Jersey, vint au Canada et au moyen d'acquisitions graduelles s'empara de toutes les anciennes stations de pêche françaises. Jusqu'à l'arrivée' des Loya- listes, les pêcheurs s'étaient occupés exclusivement de la morue. Seules les pêche- ries côtières étaient exploitées durant cette phase, y compris celles du littoral du Labrador; ce ne fut qu'en 1873 qu'un navire de pêche en haute mer sortit dm port de Lunenburg qui est maintenant le centre principal de la grande pêche. Lieux de pêche du Canada. — Les pêcheries canadiennes sont probablement les plus vastes de l'univers. Sur l'Atlantique, depuis Grand Hunan jusqu'au Labrador, le rivage mesure plus de 5,000 milles, à l'exclusion des anses et échan- crures qui le dentellent. La baie de Fundy avec 8,000 milles carrés, le golfe Saint- Laurent dix fois plus grand, et d'autres eaux océaniques représentent ensemble environ 200,000 milles carrés, c'est-à-dire plus des quatre-cinquièmes des pêcheries du nord de l'Atlantique. De plus, l'on compte sur les bords de l'Atlantique 15,000 5 milles carrés d'eaux territoriales sous le contrôle absolu de la Puissance. Mais ces vastes étendues ne représentent qu'une partie des eaux canadiennes. Sur le Pacifique, le littoral canadien mesure 7,180 milles; ses baies et fiords innombrables offrent aux pêcheurs une multitude d'abris très sûrs. Enfin, disséminés sur tout LA PÊCHE SUR LES COTES DE L'ATLANTIQUE.

,se STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES 227 le territoire s'égrènent une série de lacs qui, tous ensemble, contiennent plus de la moitié des eaux douces du globe, la part du Canada dans les Grands Lacs seulement couvrant plus de 34,000 milles carrés, auxquels viennent s'ajouter le lac Winnipeg (9,457 milles carrés), le lac Manitoba et de nombreux autres non moins vastes. Mais la qualité des produits des pêcheries canadiennes est encore plus remar- quable. Chacun sait que l'excellence de la chair du poisson est en proportion directe de la pureté et de la fraîcheur des eaux qu'il habite. Considérés sous cet 'angle la morue, le flétan, le hareng, le maquereau, le coré gone et le saumon dui Canada n'ont pas de rivaux dans l'univers. Il est donc évident que les plus ma- gnifiques pêcheries de l'hémisphère occidental, sinon du globe, appartiennent au Canada. Le bref exposé qui précède démontre qu'il es i impossible d'envisager les pêcheries canadiennes sous un unique aspect; embrassant tout un continent, elles offrent nécessairement une grande diversité. Laissant de côté la baie d'Hudson et la région subarctique qui s'étend depuis l'Un gava jusqu'à l'Alaska, on peut diviser ainsi qu'il suit les pêcheries canadiennes:

I. PÊCHERIES DE L'ATLANTIQUE.—Elles sont les premières en date, et jusqu'en 1918 elles furent les plus importantes par la valeur de leurs produits. On y prend la morue, le flétan, l'églefin, le merlan, le hareng, le maquereau, le homard, l'huître et la sardine. Le golfe et les eaux intérieures des Provinces Maritimes et du Québec sont quelquefois considérés distinctement; mais en les réunissant, la liste ci-dessus s'accroîtrait du saumon, de l'alose, du gasparot, de l'éperlan, du bar, du tacaud et du maskinongé. Les opérations de pêche sont cam.munément con- sidérées sous deux aspects distincts, la pêche hauturière ou de haute mer et la pêche côtière. Cette dernière se pratique au moyen de petites embarcations le plus souvent automotrices, montées par deux ou trois hommes; on y emploie aussi de petits navires dont l'équipage se compose de quatre à sept hommes. Les engins de pêche le plus fréquemment employés sont les rets à mailles, les lignes à main et les chaluts; d'autre part, on dispose le long du rivage des filets, des sennes et des nasses. La pêche, à l'églefin est aussi importante que celle de la morue,-. le printemps et l'été cc poisson est ouvert et salé mais la meilleure saison est l'automne, le poisson étant alors vendu frais ou fumé, sous le nom de "finnan haddie". La pêche en haute mer se pratique au moyen de navires de 40 à 100 tonnes, portant de douze à vingt hommes, qui pêchent dans des doris au moyen de lignes de fond. Les flottilles fréquentent tour à tour les différents bancs de pêche tels que le Grand Banc, le Banc Intermédiaire et le Ban quereau. Ces navires, construits sur place, restent quelquefois plusieurs mois en mer; les naufrages sont rares, tant est grande l'habileté de leurs équipages. A leur retour, le poisson, qui a été vidé et salé à bord, est débarqué, lavé et séché. Les Antilles sont le principal débouché de ce produit; aucune autre morue ne pourrait supporter le climat tropical aussi bien que celle préparée par les pêcheurs de la Nouvelle-Ecosse. De grands chalutiers' à vapeur, tels que ceux en usage dans la mer du Nord, ont été introduits depuis plusieurs années dans les pêcheries canadiennes du littoral de l'Atlantique. Ces chalutiers se livrent à la pêche presque toute l'année; leurs prises approvisionnent le commerce de poisson frais. La pêche du homard est une autre industrie caractéristique. En 1870, il n'oristait que trois homarderies sur le littoral de l'Atlantique; en, 1933 on en: compte 329, occupant 6,162 personnes; 30,000,000 de homards constituent une prise normale. L'un des constants problèmes de cette industrie, c'est d'assurer l'exécution des dispositions prohibant la capture des jeunes homards et des adultes 84672-151 228 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES au moment du frai; on croit qu'avec la coopération des pêcheurs le rendement de cette pêche peut se maintenir. Au Nouveau-Brunswick, la mise en boîte des sardines, qui sont de jeunes harengs, est une industrie aussi importante que celle du homard. L'huître qui pullulait autrefois tout le long du rivage est maintenant moins abondante, mais le gouvernement s'attend à rétablir cette industrie (zut moyen de l'ostréiculture. Le naissain sera placé dans les endroits favorables des eaux de Vile du Prince-Edouard; ce travail, de même que celui qui s'ensuivra, sera sous la direction d'experts. Les pêcheurs des Provinces Maritimes constituent une population industrielle spécialisée. La pêche côtière s'y pratique d'avril à novembre, et même en janvier, dans les districts abrités et, quoique les plus grands navires travaillent pendant tout l'hiver, plusieurs milliers d'hommes sont disponibles à certains moments de l'année pour d'autres travaux. Les uns cultivent de petites parcelles de terre en- tourant leurs maisons, les autres travaillent dans les chantiers de bois du Nou- veau-Brunswick ou bien dans les charbonnages de la Nouvelle-Ecosse. Quelques pêcheurs de Lunenburg et d'ailleurs font du négoce avec les Antilles. Outre l'oisiveté forcée résultant soit du mauvais temps, soit de la fermeture de la pêche, la méthode consistant à rémunérer les pêcheurs au moyen d'une part de la prise tend à les pousser vers les occupations secondaires, surtout dans les mauvaises années. 2. KcHEmEs INTÉRIEuREs.—Les Grands Lacs et les eaux tributaires die St-Laurent constituent une seconde grande division des pêcheries canadiennes. La valeur des pêcheries intérieures du Québec se compose principalement de produits de la pêche à l'anguille, au doré, à l'éperlan et à l'esturgeon. En Ontario, le coré gone, la truite, le doré et le hareng des ..lacs sont les poissons les plus importants, commercialement parlant, quoique le brochet, l'esturgeon et quelques autres poissons ne soient pas à dédaigner. Dans les Grands Lacs la saison de pêche dure de six à huit mois; quelques pêcheurs continuent leurs opérations durant l'hiver en creusant des trous dams la glace, mais le plus grand nombre cherchent une autre occupation dans l'intermède des saisons. En se dirigeant plus à l'ouest, le lac Winnipeg, le lac Winnipegosis, le lac Manitoba et des lacs plus petits au nord et à l'est de celui-ci fournissent la plupart des poissons du Manitoba. Le corégone et le doré sont les principaux d'entre eux, mais le brochet, le tullipi, l'ceil-d'or et nombre d'autres variétés s'y trouvent à profusion. En Saskatche- wan et en Alberta, la pêche pour le commerce est confinée aux régions situées au nord de la rivière Saskatchewan oit l'on prend de grandes quantités di coré gone. Le problème des transports devient particulièrement ardu; quelques-uns des plus grands lacs du continent, les lacs Reindeer, Athabaska, Grand Esclave, Grand Ours et des centaines de lacs plus petits n'ont aucune communication avec les marchés de consommation. Toutefois, les lacs de l'Ouest jouent le même rôle. que le Saint-Laurent dans les temps du régime français et que les bancs de morue dans l'histoire de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, en facilitant la colonisation du pays, puisqu'ils offrent un aliment certain aux colons nouvellement arrivés.

3. PÊCHERIES DU PACIFIQUE.—La Colombie Britannique possède des pêche- ries d'eau douce presque similaires à celles de la région des Prairies; il est douteux que le commerce des fourrures (qui devait être l'agent de liaison entre cette province et le reste du Canada à travers les Montagnes Rocheuses) eût pu s'établir au commencement de l'histoire de cette province si ces pêcheries n'avaient pas existé. Les pêcheries de la Colombie Britannique sont d'une grande richesse; elles représentent environ les deux-cinquièmes de l'industrie poissonnière clia Canada et ses produits se consom,ment jusqu'aux extrémités de la terre- ils sont essentiellement constitués par le saumon pêché à l'embouchure du fleuve Fraser, de la Skeena, de la Naas et d'autres rivières descendant le versant occidental STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES 229 des montagnes. Chacune des variétés de ce roi des poissons comestibles (qui toutefois n'est pas le vrai saumon) fréquentant les eaux du Pacifique se trouve sur le littoral de la Colombie Britannique, c'est-à-dire le sockeye ou dos bleu, le saumon de printemps, le saumon argenté, le saumon rose et le saumon bécard. Entre tous ceux-ci, le dos bleu est de beaucoup le plus important, tant en raison de son abondance que de l'excellence de sa chair, dont la belle couleur rougeâtre est tant appréciée des consommateurs de la Grande-Bretagne. Le fleuve Fraser était autrefois la principale source d'approvisionnement de saumon, mais sa production est aujourd'hui dépassée par celle de la rivière Skeena et de ses tributaires septentrionaux; la prise varie considérablement d'année en année. La montée du saumon commence vers la fin de juillet et atteint son apogée dans les premières semaines d'août; néanmoins, les régions septentrionales ont une saison plus hâtive. Le saumon de printemps ou quinnat est un très gros poisson; c'est la première espèce qui fut mise en boîte aux Etats-Unis; la migration de ce poisson s'opère au commencement du printemps et se continue jusqu'en juillet. Le saumon argenté est plus petit; comme le dos bleu, il voyage par bandes innombrables, pendant septembre et octobre, dans le fleuve Fraser, et un peu plus tôt dans les cours d'eau plus au nord. Le saumon bécard est mis en boîte et une quantité considérable est salée pour l'exportation en Orient. Le saumon rose, lui aussi, suit le dos bleu. Le plus grand nombre de personnes qu'occupe cette pêche sont des Chinois, des Japonais et des Indiens, l'élément chinois étant pré- pondérant dans les usines, tandis que les Indiens et les Japonais se consacrent plutôt aux opérations de pêche. Le flétan abonde à hauteur de Vile Vancouver et entre les îles de la Reine Charlotte et le continent; quoique la première tentative d'exploitation industrielle de ce poisson ait avorté, dès 1903 la Colombie Britannique contribuait pour 10,000,000 de livres à la production de 25,000,000 de livres pêchées sur le littoral du Pacifique, au nord de la Californie, chiffre qui a triplé depuis plusieurs années, bien. que depuis 1930 cette pêche ait diminué à la suite des restrictions consenties par le traité entre le Canada et les Etats-Unis pour la conservation de ces pêche- ries. La prise annuelle de hareng de la Colombie Britannique représente environ 56 p. c. de tout le hareng de mer pêché dans les eaux canadiennes. Ce poisson est presque en. entier salé a sec et exporté en Chine et au Japon. Depuis quelques années, la pêche au pilchard a pris une certaine importance, la plus grande partie de la prise allant aux huileries qui produisent chaque année de grandes quantités d'huile et de poudre de poisson. On y pêche aussi la baleine et deux stations sont en opération clans les îles Reine Charlotte. On y pêche des cétacés de diffé- rentes sortes; baleines franches, rorquals, dauphins et même parfois des cacha- lots. La pêche à la baleine se pratique dans des bateaux rapides armés de canons lance-harpon Svend Foyn, système venu de Norvège. Aucune partie de la baleine ne se perd, l'huile et la poudre ou engrais en sont les produits les plus importants. La morue-lingue, la morue noire, l'oulachon, la plie, la raie, la sole, l'éperlan et l'esturgeon sont également abondants dans les eaux de la Colombie Britannique. Ajoutons un mot 'concernant les pêcheries du phoque à fourrure du Pacifique dont le siège historique était autrefois à Victoria. Cette industrie est à peu près disparue, tant à cause de la raréfaction de ces animaux que par l'effet du traité de 1911. Ce traité, aux termes duquel la pêche pélagique ou pêche en haute mer est prohibée, a été conclu dans l'intérêt: de la conservation du phoque. Comme compensation pour son privilège de la pêche du phoque, le Canada reçoit annuellement des gouvernements des Etats-Unis, de la Russie et du Japon une partie du revenu de la pêche du: phoque sur les îles Pribalofj et autres pêcheries appartenant à ces pays respectivement. Les Indiens de la côte du Pacifique sont exempts des dispositions de ce traité en autant qu'il leur est permis de prendre des phoques, pourvu qu'ils en fassent la chasse en bateaux ouverts dont l'équi- page de pas plus de cinq personnes n'emploie pas d'armes à feu. 230 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES

Le sport de la pêche. — Nous n'avons envisagé jusqu'ici les pêcheries qu'au point de vue purement industriel et commercial; mais le sport lui-même comporte un aspect économique dans un pays où foisonnent de poissons aussi réputés que le saumon de la Restigouche et autres rivières du Nouveau-Brunswick, l'achigan et la truite mouchetée du Québec et des hautes terres d'Ontario, la truite rouge de la Nipigon et le saumon et la truite arc-en-ciel de la Colombie Britannique. Le gouvernement perçoit des revenus fort élevés en louant soit à des clubs, soit à des particuliers, le droit de pêche dans les lacs et les cours d'eau des contrées les moins peuplées; d'autre part, des centaines de guides y trouvent une occupation rémunératrice pendant les mois d'été.

Le gouvernement et les pêcheries. — Au début de la Confédération le gouvernement fédéral administrait directement la marine et les pêcheries du Canada; un ministre du Cabinet exerçait cette juridiction au moyen d'un personnel considérable d'inspecteurs, de surveillants et de gardes-pêche, en vue de la mise en vigueur des lois régissant les pêcheries. Cependant, dès le début de 1930, ce ministère a été divisé en deux organisations distinctes, la Marine et les Pêcheries, chacune sous la direction d'un membre du Cabinet. Des décisions judiciaires intervenues en 1882, 1898, 1.913 et 1920 ont sensiblement modifié la juridiction du Gouvernement fédéral à l'avantage des provinces, et en 1922 il y eut de nouveaux changements lorsque le Gouvernement fédéral transféra à la province de Québec l'administration des pêcheries de cette province, sauf celles des Iles de la Madeleine, et en 1930, alors que les pêcheries du Manitoba, de la Saskatchewan et de l'Alberta furent transférées, en même temps que d'autres ressources -naturelles, aux gouvernements de ces provinces. Aujourd'hui, le Dominion contrôle les pêcheries en eau salée dés provinces Maritimes et de la Colombie-Britannique et celles des Iles de la Madeleine dans la province de Québec. Les pêcheries intérieures d'Ontario et des provinces Maritimes et les pêcheries, tant en eau douce qu'en eau salée, du Québec (sauf celles des lies de la Madeleine) sont contrôlées par ces provinces respectivement, mais le Gouverne- ment fédéral possède seul le droit de légiférer sur toutes les matières concernant la pêche dans tout le pays. Les dépenses encourues par les pêcheries, et payées par le Dominion, au cours de l'exercice clos le 31 mars 1934 s'élevaient à $1,599,- 567 ; les recettes de cette même source se chiffraient à 3132,581. Conservation. — lies pêcheries fluviales et lacustres incontestablement, et les pêcheries maritimes probablement, si elles étaient abandonnées à elles-mêmes, subiraient la loi économique de l'appauvrissement. Pour combattre 'cette ten- dance le gouvernement canadien dut légiférer, interdisant la pêche en certaines saisons, la pollution des rivières et l'obstruction de leur cours; il dut aussi spéci- fier les dimensions des mailles de filets, réglementer les agrès et les opérations de pêche. En outre, il a été créé en 1929 un système de pisciculture qui possédait, en 1933, 24 frayères, 9 viviers auxiliaires et 8 bassins à saumon, ayant coûté $205,682, et ayant distribué 109,498,454 œufs, alevins et poissons, saumon et truite. Ces alevins sont distribués gratuitement et placés dans les eaux qui leur conviennent le mieux. Recherches scientifiques. — A Halifax, N .-E ., St. Andrews, N.-B., et Nanaïmo et Prince-Rupert, C.B., se trouvent des stations sous la direction du Service Biologique du Dominion pour l'étude des nombreux problèmes complexes surgissant des pêcheries. Les stations de St. Andrews et de Nandimo s'occupent principalement des problèmes de pisciculture et les stations expérimentales de Halifax et Prince-Rupert consacrent leur attention aux problèmes de l'industrie poissonnière. A Ellerslie, lie du Prince-Edouard, se trouve une station biologique marine s'occupant d'ostréiculture, et une sous-station, à Caltus Lake, Colombie- Britannique, s'occupe tout spécialement de recherches concernant le saumon. Le Service Biologique du Canada emploie un personnel permanent de savants, et en STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES 231 plus, les universités de Toronto, McGill, Queens, de Manitoba et de la Colombie- Britannique et les principales universités des Provinces Maritimes déléguent aussi des experts à ces différentes stations. Les habitudes et coutumes des poissons comestibles, la bactériologie du poisson frais ou conservé, l'amélioration des méthodes de manutention et de préparation du poisson, et de nombreux autres problèmes pratiques ont fait le sujet d'importants mémoires scientifiques et de rapports. Aide directe. —Dans le domaine d'aide directe, outre le paiement des primes aux pêcheurs dont il est question dans un autre paragraphe, le gouvernement adopte différentes mesures de temps à autre. Depuis 1927 un service de transport du poisson a été fait sur plusieurs divisions de la. côte de l'Atlantique par le Minis- tère des Pêcheries. Ce service permet aux pêcheurs des territoires desservis par les bateaux du Ministère de vendre leurs prises rapidement, parce qu'ils peuvent les délivrer aux acheteurs à des points centraux, à un coût beaucoup moins élevé par quintal. Ainsi les régions qui peuvent bénéficier d'un marché immédiat pour le poisson frais se trouvent grandement étendues à une époque à laquelle le marché du poisson frais prend une plus grande importance. Les pêcheurs peuvent obtenir une meilleure compensation pour leur travail beaucoup plus tôt qu'il leur serait possible autrement et de plus ils peuvent consacrer à la pêche tout le temps qu'ils devaient autrefois employer au saurissage du poisson. Un autre pas destiné" à rendre de grands services aux pêcheurs est l'établissement d'un système de radio pour émettre des rapports sur les probabilités de température, les approvisionnements de boitte et de glace le long des côtes et les prix du marché aux poissons. Pendant la. saison, ces rapports sont irradiés deux fois par jour d'Halifax et de Louisbourg, et les rapports de température sont également irradiés de Saint John. Comme la plupart des vaisseaux de pêche ont maintenant des appareils récep- teurs, ce service est d'une grande valeur. Les informations télégraphiques sur les approvisionnements de boitte à la côte sont aussi irradiées par le département dés Pêcheries et affichées dans nombre de ports les mois de printemps et d'été. Depuis plusieurs années des primes sont payées pour la destruction des phoques dans les ports de certaines régions. Afin d'améliorer la qualité du hareng canadien, salé, séché ou fumé, le gouvernement emploie un expert pour enseigner les méthodes écossaises de saurissage du poisson. En vertu de la loi d'inspection du poisson, un système d'instruction sur les méthodes améliorées de préparer le poisson et de fabriquer les caques est en opération depuis plusieurs années de même que l'inspection du poisson préparé. Le gouvernement emploie aussi un expert dans la Cuisson du poisson qui visite les grands centres et donne des confé- rences sur les qualités alimentaires du poisson et des démonstrations des diffé- rentes manières de l'apprêter pour la. table. Une flotte de petites canonnières circule dans les eaux côtières, aussi bien que dans les eaux intérieures, pour assurer l'application des règlements de la pêche et prévenir le braconnage. Depuis plusieurs années on fait aussi dans les stations scientifiques du gouvernement des recherches et des expérimentations sur la pêche et les productions poissonnières. Cette partie des activités du gouvernement fait l'objet du paragraphe qui précède.

Problèmes internationaux. — Une région de pêche aussi riche que celle du nord de l'Atlantique ne pouvait manquer d'attirer les pêcheurs d'autres pays et d'anciennes coutumes se transformèrent en droits acquis, dont quelques-uns durent encore, notamment le séchage de leurs prises par les pêcheurs français sur les rivages de Terre-Neuve. Autrement grave est la question des droits des Etats- Unis dont les pêcheurs, durant la période coloniale, approvisionnaient de poisson la Nouvelle-Angleterre et à qui le traité de Versailles de 1783 reconnut le droit de pêcher dans les eaux côtières du Canada. La guerre de 1812 leur fit perdre cette prérogative, si bien qu'après 1818, les Etats-Unis n'avaient d'autres droits que ceux de faire escale dans les ports canadiens pour s'y abriter ou s'y approvi- 232 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES sionner de bois ou d'eau, ou y réparer leurs embarcations de pêche autour des fies de la Madeleine et sur la rive du golf e Saint-Laurent, à l'est de Pointe-Jolie; enfin de faire sécher et de préparer leur poisson dans les havres, baies et anses non habités de cette partie de la rive nord. L'interprétation des clauses du traité de 1818 souleva maintes querelles apaisées par le traité de réciprocité (1854- 1866). Par ce dernier traité, le poisson canadien et ses sous-produits entraient en franchise aux Etats-Unis et vice versa; de plus, les pêcheurs des Etats-Unis obtenaient le droit de pêche dans les eaux territoriales canadiennes de l'Atlanti- que, les pêcheurs canadiens étaient autorisés à pêcher dans certaines eaux territoriales des Etats-Unis, sur le même littoral, à l'exclusion dans les deux cas des cours d'eau et de leurs estuaires. Les crustacés, mollusques et coquillages étaient exceptés. Le traité de Washington de 1871 confirma le traité de réciprocité de 1854 en ce qui concerne les pêcheries et pourvut à la nomination d'une commission d'arbitrage devant déterminer le chiffre de l'indemnité à payer par les Etats- Unis à la Grande-Bretagne, en raison des concessions par elle consenties. Cette commission siégea à Halifax en 1877 et y rendit une sentence arbitrale fixant cette indemnité à $5,500,000, dont $1,000,000 étaient attribués à Terre-Neuve. Cependant, en 1885, les Etats-Unis dénoncèrent les clauses de ce traité se rappor- tant à la pêche et cette action fut suivie d'une période de désagréments entre les deux pays. Une convention signée en 1888 porte le nom de "Traité de 1888". Les plénipotentiaires qui l'ont négocié étaient tombés d'accord sur les points suivants: Les bateaux de pêche des Etats-Unis recevaient annuellement et gratuitement des licences les autorisant à pénétrer dans les ports canadiens, à y acheter des provisions et des agrès, à transborder leurs prises et à embarquer des équipages. C'est ce traité qui donna naissance aux "licences du modus vivendi". Les négociateurs du traité ayant reconnu qu'il ne pouvait être ratifié par les deux gouvernements avant l'ouverture de la saison de pêche, décidèrent comme mesure transitoire, et ne devant pas durer plus de deux ans, que les bateaux de pêche des Etats-Unis, sur paiement d'un droit de $1.50 par tonneau, pourraient exiger l'émission d'une licence leur accordant le bénéfice des dispositions ci-dessus énumérées. Le Sénat des Etats-Unis rejeta ce traité; néanmoins, le gouvernement canadien continua à émettre des "licences du modus vivendi" jusqu'en 1918, date à laquelle des arrangements furent faits assurant des privilèges réciproques aux pêcheurs des deux pays dans les ports de leur voisin, mais les effets de cette entente—qui était une mesure spéciale de guerre du gouvernement des Etats-Unis —cessèrent le 1er Milet 1921. L'année suivante, on dut recourir de nouveau aux "licences du modus vivendi", mais à la fin de l'année 1.923 elles disparurent. Depuis lors on est revenu aux disnosition,s du traité de 1818. En 1933 un nouvel arrangemene fut conclu et le Canada accorde encore des licences de "modus videndi" aux pêcheurs des Etats-Unis. Dans les Grands Lacs également les problèmes les plus importants, tels que le repeuplement et la disposition du poisson, ont nécessairement un caractère international et se compliquent du nombre d'Etats intéressés. Une situation ana- logue a surgi en Colombie Britannique, où les industriels du Puget Sound captu- rent le saumon dos bleu du fleuve Fraser en quantités beaucoup plus considérables que les pêcheurs du Canada et ce, au moyen de pièges et autres méthodes inter- dites dans les eaux canadiennes. En 1906, une commission internationale fit le premier pas vers une entente sur cette question vitale; en 1922 une commission parlementaire recomandait la prohibition de la pêche de ce saumon dans les eaux du Fraser, pendant cinq ans, comme mesure de conservation. La pêche au flétan de notre côté du Pacifique ne peut se faire que par les ports du Canada ou des Etats-Unis, mais comme elle se pratique principalement en dehors des eaux teritoriales, aucun des deux pays ne pouvait la contrôler seul. En même temps, il est de l'intérêt des deux pays de la maintenir florissante et per- manente. C'est pourquoi l'étude des moyens à adopter pour la protection de ce STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES 233 poisson a été confiée à la conférence canado-américaine des pêcheries nommée en 1918 par les deux pays pour étudier toutes les questions importantes relatives à la pêche entre les deux pays. En 1922, le Canada a proposé que la question du flétan fût étudiée séparément. La suggestion ayant été bien accueillie, il en est résulté le traité du 2 mars 1923 "pour la protection du flétan du Pacifique". En vertu de ce traité, la pêche au flétan est interdite pendant un certain temps chaque année. Une autre convention, signée par les plénipotentiaires des deux pays le 9 mai 1930, et ratifiée par les gouvernements des deux pays le 9 mai 1931, pourvoit à des règlements additionnels et à la division des eaux en régions de pêche, avec dates di.fférentes pour le commencement et la fin de la saison de pêche interdite, etc.

Primes. — Une conséquence directe mais fort importante du traité de Wash- ingston subsiste encore aujourd'hui. Une loi de 1882 (45 T'id., c. 18), pour le déve- loppement des pêcheries maritimes et l'encouragement à la construction des navires de pêche, a consacré une somme annuelle de $150,000, représentant .l'intérêt sur le montant de la sentence arbitrale d'Halifax, à la distribution de primes aux propriétaires de bateaux de pêche et à leurs équipages. Une autre loi, votée en 1891 (54-55 Vict., c. 42) éleva ces primes à $160,000, les détails de leur distribution étant réglés chaque année par arrêté ministériel

Industrie moderne. — L'industrie poissonnière du Canada telle qu'elle existe actuellement est le fruit des efforts accomplis depuis un siècle. En 1844, la valeur des prises n'était estimée qu'à $125,000; elle doubla dans la décade suivante, et dès 1860, elle dépassait 81,000,000. Dix ans plus tard, elle atteignait $6,000,000, chiffre plus que doublé en 1878. Dans les 90, elle dépassait $20,000- 000 et touchait à $4,000,000 en 1911. En 1933, elle est de $27,000,000, ayant été grandement affectée par la dépression générale. Mais son apogée fut atteinte en 1918, année qui dépassa $60 millions. Ces chiffres représentent la valeur totale de tout le poisson vendu soit frais, soit séché, soit en conserve ou autrement pré- paré. Pendant ce temps le personnel de cette industrie a atteint 80,000 personnes et le capital immobilisé, $41,000,000. On estime à plus de 21 livres la consommation per capita annuelle de poisson au Canada Entre tous les poissons, la morue et le saumon se disputèrent longtemps la primauté; si l'on remontait jusqu'aux origines, la morue tiendrait la tête, mais si l'on ne considère que les trente dernières années, on constate que le Sait111071 a défi- nitivement conquis la première place et même le volume de homard et son prix élevé ont plus d'une fois relégué la morue au troisième rang. Ceci eut pour effet de modifier le rang des provinces entre elles, la Colombie Britannique tenant maintenant la première place qui appartenait auparavant à laNouvelle-Ecosse. En 1933, le hareng occupe le quatrième rang parmi nos poissons commerciaux.

Commerce. — On a déjà vu que la consommation domestique de poisson est relativement minime au Canada et que cette industrie dépend largement des marchés de l'étranger. On peut évaluer approximativement à 60 ou 70 pour cent des prises annuelles la portion exportée, dont les Etats-Unis absorbent approximativement un-tiers et la Grande-Bretagne un-cinquième. Pendant l'année civile 1933, les exportations totales se sont élevées à $20,223,610, dont $8,796,015, pour les Etats-Unis, et $4,384,007 pour la Grande-Bretagne. Le plus important des poissons exportés est le saumon en boîte (expédié en. Grande-Bretagne et aux marchés européens), suivi de très près par le homard en boîte, tandis que la morue salée à sec (Antilles et Amérique du Sud) est troisième. Pour le poisson frais, spécialement le corégone et le homard, les Etats-Unis constituent le principal débouché. En définitive, les exportations de poisson du Canada ne le cèdent qu'à celles de la Grande-Bretagne et de la Norvège, niais si l'on y joint les exportations de Terre-Neuve, elles excèdent l'une et l'autre. En 1933, le Canada a importé pour $1,694,325 de poisson.

234 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES

STATISTIQUES DES PECHERIES DU CANADA, 1933 La valeur globale des produits poissonniers du Canada en 1933 est de $27,558,053, comparativement à $25,957,109 en 1932 et $30,517,306 en 1931. Ces chiffres représentent la valeur de tous les produits tels que mis sur le marché, qu'ils aient été vendus pour consommation à l'état frais, ou qu'ils aient subi un traitement ou une transformation quelconques dans une usine ou au domicile des pêcheurs. Le tableau qui suit montre les prises et la valeur marchande des principaux poissons commerciaux (dont la pêche a donné une valeur de $100,000 ou plus) les cinq dernières années, avec une indication dans la dernière colonne de l'augmentation ou diminution en 1933 comparativement à 1932. 1.

REVUE DES PECHERIES 1933

La pêche globale de 1933, tant en eau salée qu'en eau douce, de poissons, mollusques et crustacés se chiffre à 813,357,200 livres et une valeur marchande de $27,558,053. Comparativement à 1932 ces chiffres représentent une diminution de 3,026,000 livres mais une augmentation de 8 1,600,943 en valeur. De la pêche globale, 725,431,000 livres proviennent des pêcheries en eau salée et 65,595,000 livres des eaux douces du Canada. La valeur de la pêche maritime est de S23,- 494,695 et de la pêche en eau douce, de $4,063,358. La valeur de la pêche se répartit par provinces, comme suit: la Colombie Britannique, quarante-trois p.c., ce qui est cinq p.c. de plus que l'année précé- dente; les trois Provinces Maritimes, trente-six p.c.; le Québec et l'Ontario sept et demi p.c. chacun, et les Provinces des Prairies et le Yukon, le reste. Grande pêche.—La principale branche de l'industrie au point de vue commercial est la pêche au -saumon qui a donné une valeur marchande globale de $9,758,346 dont $9,184,090 ou 94 P.C. pour la Colombie Britannique. La pêche au homard vient en deuxième rang, avec une valeur de $3,524,355 et la pêche à la morue en troisième, avec 82,598,756. La pêche au corégone (poisson blanc), l'espèce la plus importante des eaux intérieures, a donné une valeur de $1,136,400, ce qui est seulement un peu plus que la moitié de sa valeur d'il y a quelques années, quand le marché était plus favorable. lie du Prince-Edouard.—I1 y a diminution de $146,574 dans la valeur de la pêche de cette province dont le total est de $842,345 pour l'année. Le homard est le principal produit de cette industrie dans l'Ile, sa valeur étant de $591,801. La prise de l'année est de 9,154,700 livres, représentant une diminution de 2,302,- 300 livres sur l'année précédente. Il y a augmentation dans les prises de morue, de .merluche, de hareng, de maquereau et- d'huîtres, mais des diminutions dans celles de l'églefin, de l'éperlan et des clovisses. ..Youvelle-Ecosse.—La valeur marchande des pêcheries de cette province est de $6,010,601, comparativement à S6,557,943, bien que la quantité prise, à 215,- 521,700 livres, fût plus • élevée de 19,808,100 livres que l'année précédente. Le homard est encore à la tête par son importance en valeur ($1,884,715) tandis que la morue suit avec $1,442,599. La pêche au homard a donné 17,685,800 livres, une diminution de 6,037,200 livres, tandis que la pêche à la morue, 86,603,- 300 livres, est une augmentation de 7,004,900 livres. La pêche de l'églefin a baissé e 34,706,900 livres en 1932 à 25,495,400 livres en 1933, tandis que sa valeur marchande, à $799,218, représente une diminution de $287,125. La pêche au maquereau a donné 20,970,600 livres ou près de deux fois la quantité de l'année précédente avec une augmentation correspondante en valeur. Le saumon et le gasparot ont été un peu moins abondants en 1933 qu'en 1932, tandis que la prise de l'éperlan, à 682,800 livres, n'a donné que les deux tiers de l'année pré- cédente. La pêche au thon, à 450,000 livres, a donné près de deux fois autant qu'en 1932, et les 1,713,700 livres d'espadon montrent une augmentation de 677,800 livres. La production de pétoncles, écaillés, se chiffre à 61,500 gallons, une augmentation de 22,526 gallons. La quantité de poudre de poisson a monté de 2,909 tonnes à 4,015 tonnes. Nouvcau-Brunswick.—Les pêcheries de cette province montrent une augmentation tant en volume qu'en valeur. Le premier, à 129,995,200 livres, montre une augmentation de 28.240,300 livres, tandis que la valeur, à $3,061,152, repré- sente un gain de $88.470. I y a des augmentations dans a pêche de la morue, du hareng et de la sardine. Il v a, en chiffres ronds, quatre millions et demi de livres de merluche de plus, onze millions et demi de livres de hareng de plus et un demi-million de livres de plus de sardine. La prise du saumon, qui est une Pnee 236 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES branche importante de l'industrie, est de 2,261,300 livres en eau salée et 79,500 livres en eau douce. Ces chiffres représentent une augmentation de 450,000 livres de saumon pris en eau salée mais une faible diminution de la prise en eau douce. L'éperlan est aussi une des espèces importantes pêchées dans cette province mais la prise, à 5,244,400 livres, montre une baisse importante. La prise de homard a aussi été plus faible. • Québec.—La pêche de cette province en 1933 donne une augmentation en volume et en valeur. La prise a été de 93,336,100 livres, soit une augmentation de 1,364,200 livres et une valeur de $2,128,471, laquelle dépasse de $312,927 celle de 1932. La prise de morue, 51,496,200 livres, est augmentée de 5,423,100 livres et sa valeur de $863,913 montre une augmentation de $215,191. La pêche à la morue est la plus importante de l'industrie dans la province. La deuxième est celle du homard avec une prise de 3,157,100. livres et une valeur de $217,476. Il y a diminution en volume et en valeur. La prise de saumon, à 1,262,800 livres, montre une faible augmentation en volume tandis que la valeur, à $139,822, montre une augmentation voisine de 50 p.c. Il y a des augmentations dans la pêche de l'éperlan et du capelan et des diminutions dans la pêche du flétan, du hareng, du maquereau, des clovisses et des pétoncles. La pêche en eau douce a donné de plus faibles prises de barbotte, d'anguille, de hareng, de maskinongé, de perche, de doré, d'alose, de saumon, d'éperlan, d'esturgeon et d'ablette. Dans la plupart des cas les augmentations sont faibles. La. valeur marchande de la pêche en eau douce est de $527,001, une augmentation de $75,000, tandis que celle de la pêche en eau salée, à $1,601,470, a monté d'environ $238,000. Ontario.—I1 y a recul dans la production et la valeur marchande de la pêche dans cette province. La prise, à 29, 201, 200 livres, est en diminution de 1,661,500 livres et la valeur marchande, à $2,089,842, a diminué de $58,148. La truite et le corégone, les deux plus importantes pêches, ont des diminutions en prise et en valeur. La sandre et le tullipi ont été pris en plus grandes quantités tandis qu'il y a diminution pour le hareng, la perche et l'esturgeon. La prise de brochet a été pratiquement égale à celle de l'année précédente. Manitoba.—Le corégone, le doré et le tullipi sont les principaux poissons pêchés au Manitoba. Dans le cas du tullipi la prise de l'année, à 1,812,600 livres, et la valeur de $45,931 sont des diminutions sur 1932. corégone, et5 La prise de 6,140,000 livres, donne une augmentation substantielle, soit plus de 750,000 livres, mais sa valeur marchande, à $434.922, a diminué de près de $20,000. La prise de doré, à 6,897,400 livres, est de beaucoup plus considérable que celle de 1932, mais sa valeur marchande a reculé de plus de $45,000. Les prises de perche et de sauger sont en augmentation mais il y a diminution pour l'ceil-d'or er et le brochet. Saskatchewan.—I1 n'y a pas de changement notable clan'; la valeur totale de it aâq A la pêche de cette province, les chiffres de 1933 et de 1932 étant respectivement de $186,417 et $186,174. Le principal poisson de cette province est le corégone dont la prise est de 2,574,000 livres en 1933, une augmentation légèrement. supérieure à 500,000 livres. Toutefois, la valeur marchande a baissé de $4,758. Il y a augmentation en volume dans la pêche de la lingue, du doré, du brochet, de la truite et du tullipi, avec augmentation correspondante en valeur. Alberta.—La valeur totale de la pêche de cette province est de S144,518, légèrement plus élevée que la valeur de 1932. Le principal poisson, le corégone, montre une prise de 1,396,900 livres ou un peu plus que l'année précédente, tandis que sa valeur marchande, à $81,868, était moindre de $10,000. Il y a augmentation des prises de doré, brochet et tullipi, mais diminution de truite. Colombie Britannique.—Le volume de la pêche dans les eaux de la Colombie Britannique se chiffre à 295,800,500 livres et s valeur marchande à $12,001,471. Bien que la diminution en volume soit de quelque 51,000,000 de livres, la valeur

!Al STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES 237 marchande est en augmentation de $2,000,000. Les trois grosses unités de l'industrie, le saumon, le flétan et le hareng, montrent une amélioration substantielle dans le volume et la valeur. La prise de saumon, à 141,050,400 livres, a une valeur marchande de $9,184,090; de hareng, 107,737,300 livres et une valeur de $738,522, et de flétan, 17,081,300 livres et une valeur de $1,391,941. Le saumon mis en boîte se chiffre à 1,265,072 caisses et une valeur de $7,428,123. C'est une augmentation de plus de 180,000 caisses et de $1,000,000 en valeur. La quantité de hareng salé à sec, dont la plus grande partie est expédiée en Orient, est presque le double de l'année précédente, soit 51,302,400 livres. Pour des raisons inconnues le pilchard n'a guère fréquenté les eaux de lu province et la Irise de l'année, à 12,101,300 livres, montre une baisse de près de 76,000,000 de livres. En conséquence, la quantité de poudre et d'huile de l'année se trouve réduite dans les mêmes proportions. La pêche à la baleine a été de nouveau active au cours de l'année et 209 baleines ont été capturées dont la valeur marchande est de $110,030. Yukon.—La pêche commerciale du Yukon se limite à quelques variétés dont la plus importante est le saumon. La prise de cette •espèce, à 50,000 livres, est en diminution de 13,000 livres, tandis que sa valeur marchande, à $7,500, a diminué de $2,000. La valeur marchande de toute la pêche du Territoire est de $17,100. PÊCHF,RIES DE L'ATLANTIQUE La pêche totale de poissons, mollusques et crustacés de la côte de l'Atlan- tique au cours de 1933 se chiffre à 444,148,700 comparativement à 405,603,900 livres en 1932. Ce volume se répartit comme suit, par provinces: Province Livres Nouvelle-Ecosse 215,521,700 Nouveau-Brunswick. 112,943,600 Québec. 93,336,300 Ile du Prince-Edouard 99,347,300 Morue, églefin, merluche, lingue et merlan.—La quantité totale de ces diffé- rentes variétés débarquées en 1933 est de 205,577,600 livres comparativement à 199,221,500 livres l'année précédente. Les prises de morue ont été plus considé- rables qu'en 1932 dans chacune des provinces. La Nouvelle-Ecosse et le Québec, où la pêche à la morue est la plus considérable, montrent des prises respectives de 86,603,300 livres et 51,496,200 livres. La pêche à l'églefin a été un peu plus faible qu'en 1932. En Nouvelle-Ecosse, où se fait la plus grande partie de cette pêche, la prise a baissé de 34,706,900 livres en 1932 à 25,495,400 livres en 1933. La quantité de merluche et de lingue a légèrement augmenté, le comté de Char- lotte ayant été particulièrement favorisé. Il y a une augmentation de 131 p.c. attribuable aux boni que le gouvernement de la province paie pour cette variété. Il y a une baisse dans la prise totale de merlan, bien que le Nouveau-Brunswick montre une légère augmentation. Ce poisson est débarqué seulement en Nou- velle-Ecosse et au Nouveau-Brunswick. La valeur marchande totale de ces différentes espèces est de $3,611,704 comparativement à $3,493,629 en 1932. La province de Nouvelle-Ecosse montre une baisse en valeur mais il y a des augmentations dans les trois autres provinces. Hareng, maquereau et sardine.—Toutes les provinces du littoral de l'Atlan- tique, excepté le Québec, ont des augmentations. La prise de ces trois espèces donne 146,943,900 livres, le Nouveau-Brunswick y contribuant 75,206,100 livres. La prise de maquereau en Nouvelle-Ecosse, 20,970,600 livres, est presque le double de celle de l'année précédente. Il en est de même de la prise de sardine au Nouveau-Brunswick, à 26,022,400 livres. La pêche au hareng et au maquereau a moins rapporté dans le Québec. La valeur marchande de ces trois espèces est $1,931,773, une augmentation de $493,040. La sardine, dont la valeur marchande au Nouveau-Brunswick est de $622,531, contribue 40 p.c. de l'augmentation. 238 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES Carrelet, flétan et espadon.—Alors que la pêche du carrelet baissait de 631,800 livres à 612,600 livres en 1933, il y eut des augmentations dans la pêche du flétan et de l'espadon. Le flétan, avec 3,001,100 livres, montre une augmentation de 501,300 livres tandis que la quantité d'espadon pris, à 1,713,700 livres, augmentait de plus de 677,000 livres. L'espadon est pêché sur les côtes de la Nouvelle-Ecosse seulement et il en est de même de la plus grande partie du flétan et du carrelet. La valeur du flétan est, de $302,464 comparativement à $267,514 en 1932, tandis que l'espadon avait une valeur de $208938 ou une augmentation de $108,000. Les pêcheurs ont obtenu des prix beaucoup plus avantageux que ceux de l'année précédente. Poissons frayant dans les rivières:—La prise de saumon tant en eau salée qu'en eau douce se chiffre à 4,549,700 livres, soit une augmentation de 656,000 livres. La valeur marchande de $566,756 montre une augmentation proportion- nelle. La plus grande partie de cette pêche se fait dans le détroit de Northumber- land, sur la côte du Nouveau-Brunswick, bien qu'on en prenne aussi une quantité considérable dans le Québec. Bien que l'éperlan soit pêché dans chacune des quatre provinces c'est au Nouveau-Brunswick qu'on le pêche sur la plus grande échelle, et qui a contribué cette année 5,244,400 livres à une prise totale de 7,719,000 livres. La valeur marchande de l'éperlan du Nouveau-Brunswick est $315,485, sur un total de $490,716. Cette pêche a été moins considérable dans chaque province en 1932, excepté dans le Québec qui a une augmentation de 150,000 livres. Le gasparot est pris en grosses quantités en Nouvelle-Ecosse et au Nouveau-Brunswick et en petite quantité dans Pile du Prince-Edouard. La pêche totale, à 7,373,900 livres, montre un gain considérable sur l'année précé- dente qui n'a donné que 5,844,400 livres. Les résultats de cette pêche ne repré- sentent ni l'abondance, ni la rareté de ce poisson parce qu'il serait possible d'en prendre des quantités beaucoup plus considérables s'il y avait une plus grande demande. Homard.—An point de vue de la valeur marchande, la pêche au homard est la branche la plus importante de l'industrie sur la côte de l'Atlantique, bien que la morue fût au premier rang il y a quelques années. La prise de homards cette année, à 37,491,600 livres, a une valeur marchande de $3,524,355. Ces chiffres représentent une baisse tant en volume qu'en valeur. En 1932 cette pêche a donné 48,348,800 livres, d'une valeur marchande de $4,745,311. Cha- cune des quatre provinces montre une diminution en 1933 qui est de 26 p.c. en Nouvelle-Ecosse, 25 p.c. au Nouveau-Brunswick, 20 p.c. pour l'Ile du Prince- Edouard, et 3 p.c. pour le Québec. Autres mollusques et crustacés.—Parmi les autres mollusques pêchés sur la côte de l'Atlantique les clovisses et mactres donnent une valeur de 854,823 comparativement à $78,003 l'année précédente. Le Nouveau-Brunswick, où se fait la plus grande partie de cette pêche, montre une légère augmentation en volume. Les huîtres sont aussi pêchées dans les quatre provinces, mais cette pêche se fait plus particulièrement au Nouveau-Brunswick qui en a récolté 10,162 barils. Ce chiffre est légèrement inférieur à celui de l'année précédente. La Nouvelle-Ecosse en a récolté 3,388 barils et l'Ile du Prince-Edouard 6,643 barils. En outre des clovisses, mactres et huîtres, de petites quantités de crabes, moules et littorines ont été prisés. rg PÉCHERIES INTÉRIEURES La pêche dans les eaux douces du Canada a donné 65,575,300 livres de poisson, d'une valeur marchande de $4,063,358, comparativement à 63,496,300 livres en 1932 et une valeur marchande de $4,194,022. Dans les eaux inté- rieures du Nouveau-Brunswick l'alose a été prise en plus grande quantité et le saumon a donné une plus grande valeur marchande. Au cours de l'année, les P > deux variétés montrent une diminution. Les anguilles, la pêche la plus impor- STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES 239 tante au point de vue commercial dans les eaux du Québec, ont donné 2,414,500 livres et une valeur marchande de $128,285. Pour l'ensemble de toutes les eaux intérieures le poisson le plus important au point de vue commercial est le coré- gone, ou poisson blanc, dont la valeur marchande en 1933 est de $1,136,400 comparativement à $1,193,634 l'année précédente. En Ontario, les deux espèces les plus importantes après le corégone sont la truite et le doré qui donnent des prises un peu plus volumineuses qu'en 1932. Au Manitoba et en Saskatchewan la prise de doré a été plus grande que l'année précédente niais sa valeur marchande a été inférieure. Toutefois, en Alberta, le doré montre une augmentation tant en volume qu'en valeur. Dans le territoire du Yukon le saumon a été pêché en plus grande quantité que toute autre espèce.

Pe:CHERIES DE LA CÔTE DU PACIFIQUE La quantité totale de poisson débarqué sur les côtes du Pacifique est de 295,800,500 livres et sa valeur marchande est de $12,001,471 comparativement à 347,494,600 livres et une valeur marchande de $9,909,116 en 1932. La pêche au saumon, tant en volume qu'en valeur, est la plus importante de l'industrie sur la côte du Pacifique. Quelque 141,050,400 livres ont été prises en 1933, la valeur étant de $9,184,090. La mise en boîte du saumon est de 1,265,072 caisses à une valeur marchande de $7,428,123 comparativement à 1,081,011 livres valant $6,357,813 en 1932. L'augmentation du saumon mis en boîte provient du saumon rose. Il y a une augmentation considérable dans la quantité de saumon consommé frais et la production d'huile de saumon a sauté de 10,370 gallons à 63,830 gallons. Flétan.—Cette variété suit immédiatement le saumon en importance. La prise de 1933, à 17,081,300 livres, représente une augmentation de près de 200,000 livres et la valeur, à $1,391,941, est en augmentation de $430,000. La vulgarisa- tion de l'huile de foie de flétan a eu pour effet d'élever la. valeur des foies de ce poisson. Bien que la quantité de foies vendus, 229,300 livres, montre une augmentation cle seulement 72,000 livres, la valeur a monté de $29,571 à $45,995. Hareng.—Le troisième poisson en importance sur cette côte est le hareng. La prise cle 1933, à 107.737,300 livres, a une valeur marchande de $738,522 et est en ugmentation en volume de 7,416,900 livres et en valeur, de $202,031. La plus grande augmentation dans l'industrie du hareng est contribuée par le poisson salé à sec pour le commerce de l'Orient. Pilchard.—Le pilchard qui est pêché seulement sur la côte du Pacifique entre presque en entier dans la production de poudre et d'huile. Pour des raisons inconnues ce poisson ne s'est pas montré en quantité normale sur cette côte au cours de la saison de 1933 et les quelques bancs qui ont été localisés plus tard étaient en petit nombre et très loin des rives. La prise a été seulement de 12,101,- 300 livres, à une valeur de $77,464, comparativement à 88,696,400 livres et une valeur de $383,920 l'année précédente. La quantité de poudre produite est de 1,108 tonnes comparativement à 8,842 tonnes en 1932, et d'huile, 275,879 gallons comparativement à 1,315,864 gallons l'année précédente. Autres pêcheries.—Parmi les autres espèces de poisson pris par les pêcheurs de la Colombie Britannique sont les différentes espèces de morue—noire, grise, lingue, rouge et de roche—le chien de mer qui entre dans la production de la poudre et de l'huile et les mollusques, y compris les clovisses, crabes, huîtres et crevettes. Une station de pêche à la baleine a été active en 1933 et le nombre de baleines capturées est de 209. Il n'y a pas eu d'opérations baleinières en 1931 et 1932.

Etablissements industriels poissonniers Nombre d'établissements. - Il y avait en 1933, 620 conserveries de poisson réparties comme suit: 329 de homards, 71 de saumon, 8 de clanques, 3 de sardines, 12 de différents autres poissons, 170 saurisseries, 11 frigorifiques et 16 huileries. La mise en conserve et le saurissage se limitent aux provinces du littoral des deux océans, les provinces intérieures n'ayant aucun établissement de ce genre. Sur la côte de l'Atlantique se trouvent toutes les homarderies, sardineries et quelques petites saumonerie,s, tandis que toutes les grandes saumoneries se trouvent en Colombie Britannique. Les établissements des autres classifications se trouvent sur les deux côtes. Leur classification est faite comme suit: Tout établissement ayant une production de poisson en conserve est classifié comme une conserverie, la principale espèce de poisson mise en conserve déterminant la classification principale comme homarderie. saumonerie, etc. Les autres établis- sements sont classifiés selon le produit principal c'est-à-dire les saurisseries sont celles ayant une production de poisson fumé, salé à sec, désossé, etc., les huileries sont celles dont les produits principaux sont l'huile et la poudre de poisson; et les frigorifiques sont ceux dont le produit se limite au poisson frais et gelé. Compara- tivement à l'année précédente le nombre des établissements a diminué de 9, une diminution se produisant dans les établissements faisant la conserve des homards et des clanques, les frigorifiques et les huileries, tandis que les autres classifications montrent des augmentations. Le nombre de personnes occupées dans les établissements au cours de l'année 1933 est de 14,042, 473 employés à salaire, 9,453 employés à gages et 4,116 à forfait ou travailleurs à la pièce. Les travailleurs classifiés comme à forfait sont comptés dans les déclarations des saumoneries de la Colombie Britannique où une grande partie du travail se fait sous contrat, l'entrepreneur engageant et payant lui-même son personnel et étant ensuite payé par l'opérateur de la saumonerie suivant les quantités de poisson mises en conserve. Environ 75 p.c. des travailleurs dans les saumoneries de la Colombie Britannique tombent dans cette classe. Les statistiques du nombre d'employés dans les établissements sont basées sur la moyenne mensuelle d'employés à gages et le nombre total d'em- ployés à salaire et les travailleurs à contrat pour toute la saison, la revision des rapports se faisant comme suit: sur le rapport de chaque établissement est faite l'addition des travailleurs à gages pour chaque mois et le total est ensuite divisé par le nombre de mois pendant lesquels l'établissement a été en opération. Par exemple, une homarderie emploie 12 personnes en mai, 14 en juin, 12 en juillet et 10 en août-un total de 48. Ce total est divisé par le nombre de mois d'activité, soit 4, et le résultat donne 12 comme nombre d'employés à gages 250 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES par cet établissement. A ce nombre est ajouté celui d'employés à salaire et d'em- ployés à contrat ou travailleurs à la pièce qui sont occupés pendant toute la saison et non par mois. Le chiffre final donne le nombre d'employés attribué à cet établissement pour l'année, et la compilation de ces totaux donne le nombre d'employés dans toute cette industrie. La période d'emploiement varie avec la saison des opérations: les homarderies ouvrant de un à trois mois et les saumoneries, plus longtemps, tandis que les saurisseries opèrent généralement durant toute l'année. Dans certaines conserveries se font aussi des opérations de saurissage avant et après la saison de mise en conserve. La fluctuation de l'emploiement est indiquée par la statistique du nombre de travailleurs à gages de chaque mois. La statistique mensuelle des travailleurs à contrat ne peut être établie vu que le système en vigueur consiste à employer ces personnes par l'intermé- diaire d'un entrepreneur, l'opérateur de la conserverie ne tenant aucun relevé mensuel du nombre de personnes employées et se trouve par conséquent inca- pable de donner plus de détails dans son rapport que le nombre moyen d'employés pour la saison et de la somme qui leur a été payée. Le compte des salaires et gages des établissements poissonniers au cours de l'année est de $3,024,068, une augmentation sur l'année précédente de $202,190 ou 7 p.c. Le tableau suivant répartit le personnel de cette industrie entre les diffé- rentes classifications d'emploi et donne aussi les salaires et gages.

Employés à gages par mois.— Les mois de plus grande activité pour les em- ployés à gages dans l'industrie de la préparation du poisson sont mai et juin, et comme les homarderies n'opèrent en plus grande partie que pendant ces deux mois, elles influencent la situation de l'emploiement à un degré considérable. Dans les satunoneries mai et juin sont également les mois de plus grande activité, tandis que dans les établissements s'occupant du saurissage du poisson les mois de plus grande activité sont de juillet à décembre. Le mois de cime de l'emploiement pour l'année est juin, le nombre d'employés à gages étant de 8,400 et en mai, de 8,052. Le mois de moindre activité est janvier avec 922 personnes. La moyenne d'employés à gages pour la période des 12 mois est de 3,435. Les statistiques de l'emploiement par mois, pour l'industrie prise dans son ensemble, sont données dans le tableau suivant.

Combustible et force motrice.-Les principaux item sous la rubrique combustible employé dans les établissements sont le charbon ($129,508) ; l'huile combustible ($50,828) et le bois ($32,462), tandis que les déboursés pour l'élec- tricité sont de $35,963. Les dépenses totales d'électricité et de combustible sont de $264,243 comparativement à $274,710 en 1932. L'item électricité montre une augmentation de $1,693 sur l'année précédente, tandis que le coût du combustible est de S12,160 de moins. La force motrice employée en ces différents établissements est fournie par 205 engins à vapeur, 494 engins à gazoline et à gaz, 56 turbines ou roues hydrauliques, avec 118 moteurs électriques mus par énergie achetée, et 55 moteurs électriques mus par énergie générée sur place. Ces unités combinées avaient une puissance globale de 11,169 h.p. Les chau- dières à vapeur en usage, au nombre de 317, donnent une capacité de 14,471 h.p. Matières premières.-Toute la quantité de poisson employée comme matière première par les établissements en 1933 est de 4,866,142 cwt., représentant 66 p.c. de toute la quantité de poisson de mer prise au cours de l'année. Les autres 34 p.c. représentent la quantité vendue directement par les pêcheurs, soit prépa- rée par le pêcheur même ou pour consommation à l'état frais. Le prix coûtant du poisson employé par les établissements est de $8,178,543; du sel, $216,618; des récipients, $2,321,918; et des autres matières premières diverses, $243,210, faisant un total de $10,960,289 pour le poisson et les autres matières premières. Le tableau suivant fait la comparaison des chiffres de 1933 avec ceux des deux années précédentes.

252 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES Valeur de la production.—La valeur totale de la production des établisse- ments en 1933 est de $17,380,323, ce qui représente 74 P.C. de toute la valeur marchande des poissons d'eau salée du Canada, les autres 26 p.c. sont la valeur du poisson vendu directement par les pêcheurs, soit préparé par le pêcheur même ou pour consommation à l'état frais. De la valeur totale de la production des établissements en 1933, les saumoneries ont contribué $7,935,162 ou 45,1; p.c.; les saurisseries, $5,119,749 ou 29 p.c.; les homarderies, $2,550,234 ou 15- p.c.; les sardineries et autres conserveries, $890,851 ou 5 p.c.; les huileries, $483,656 ou 3 p.c.; les frigorifiques, $331,015 ou 2 p.c. et les établissements mettant les clanques en conserve, $69,656 ou -1 p.c. Une grande partie de la valeur de la production est due aux ventes de poisson frais. Ces ventes en 1933 se chiffrent à $4,337,130 ou 25 p.c. de toute la valeur de la production. Dans le tableau suivant la valeur de la production est donnée pour chaque genre d'établissement, en 1933 et chacune des deux années précédentes.
