This board is a direct outgrowth of the honorary Board of Management established under the federal Minister of Marine and Fisheries in 1898- to encourage and supervise J marine biofogical research. With growth in the scope of responsibilities and I membership, the board became the Biological Board of Canada in 1912 and the ' Fisheries·Research Board of Canada in 1937. Although the honorary board-type of organization is unique among Canadian federal agencies responsible for re search on living renewable resources such as agriculture, forestry, and wildlife, it has been followed by two of the largest research organizations, the National Research Council (1917) and the Defence Research Board (1947). Function. Under the control of the Minister of Fisheries, the Board "has charge of all Dominion fishery research stations in Canada, and has the conduct and control of investigations of practical and economic problems connected with marine and freshwater fisheries, flora and fauna, and such other work as may be assigned by the Minister." It is the only organization in the federal government with scientific research responsibilities in this field. Membership. The Board consists of a full-time Chairman, appointed by the Governor-in-Council, and not more than eighteen honorary members, appointed by the Minister of Fisheries. The majority of members must be scientists and the remainder represent the Department of Fisheries and the fishing industry. In 1964 there were ten scientific members from British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, all being distinguished specialists in disciplines related to the Board's work. The seven' industry representatives, from both coasts and the Great Lakes, are prominent business leaders with intimate knowledge of the fishing industry. Representation from the Department of Fish eries is at a professional and senior level. Chairman. The first full-time Chairman of the Board was appointed on amendment of the Fisheries Research Board Act in 1953. "The Chairman is the chief executive officer of the Board and has sup~rvision over and direction of the work of the Board and of the persons appointed for the purpose of carrying out the work of the Board." Meetings. At its annual meetings in Ottawa, and at special meetings as necessary, the Board sets objectives and policies, reviews and guides broad research programs, and determines the laboratory and staff organization require ments to carry out these programs. Executive Committee. The administrative responsibilities of the Board are delegated to an Executive Committee consisting of the Chairman and four to six elected members, approved by the Minister. The Executive establishes the level . and distribution of capital facilities (such as laboratories and research vessels), operating funds, and research staffs required to carry out the Board's work. The appointments and remuneration of scientific, technical, and other staff are re- 6 1.r-T - 1-..:::-- - --:: - I Minister of Fisheries I I Fisheries Research Board of Canada Chairman, appointed full-time by Governor-in-Council Up to 18 honorary members appointed for 5-year terms by Minister (Executive, Regional Advisory, and Special Committees) I Office of the Chairman, Ottawa Chairman, Assistant Chairman Director of Administration Scientific Consultants Editor of Publications and a smal I support staff I Research Establishments Biological Static~, Nanaimo, B.C.

All of the Executive proposals involving money and staff are subject to approval by the Minister of Fisheries, review by the Treasury Board, and availability of government funds. Advisory Committees. The scientific programs of the Board are regularly reviewed by Advisory Committees for Eastern, Central-Arctic, and Western regions of Canada. The Advisory Committees visit Board laboratories and field operations to review operations and scientific programs. They make recommenda tions to the Board for program and operational improvement.
