REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER

- To the Hon. H. FRANcis G. BRIDGES, M.P., Minister of Fisheries. Sm,—I have the honour to submit the Fifteenth Annual Report of the Department of Fisheries, which covers the fiscal year 1944-45 and is the Seventy-eighth Annual Report on the Fisheries of the Dominion. For reasons of economy, the report, like those of other recent years, has been kept to smaller limits than the annual reports issued in some earlier periods. The condensa- tion consists in giving lessened space to matters of detail. The report takes up such matters as the results of commercial fishing operations in the Dominion during the calendar year 1944, exportation of products of the fisheries during the year, operations of international fisheries commissions of the Pacific coast, and so on. Appendices to the report take up several branches of the Dominion's work in some detail though here, too, detail has been kept to smaller limits than in some other years. These appendices are:— Reports of the Chief Supervisors of Fisheries. Report on the Fish Culture Work of the Department. Report on Oyster Culture and the Further Development of Oyster Farming. Report of the Fisheries Engineer. Reports as to the Operations of the Fish Inspection Laboratories. The Annual Financial Statement of the Department.

COMMERCIAL FISHERIES IN 1944 Throughout 1944 there was continuation of the upward trend in fisheries production value that had been evident in earlier war years. In result, the total marketed value of the 1944 catch exceeded $89,600,000, much the largest dollar return in the history of the Dominion's fishing industry. The explanation of the continued process of increase is to be found, of course, in the continued great demand for fisheries products and in firmness of prevailing prices for such goods, not in greater production. As for production, however, it may well be emphasized here that the fishing industry deserves high credit for what it has done in maintaining wartime output at approximately the pre-war level in spite of a good many difficulties arising out of the times. The 1944 in-crease over the marketed value total for the preceding year was some $4,000,000. As compared with the dollar return in 1938, the last full year of peace, 1944 showed a gain of about 120 per cent and in comparison with the largest value total recorded in any peacetime period of the past-- slightly less than $56,400,000 in 1926—the 1944 figures shoveed an increa.se of nearly 60 per cent. Complete and detailed figures relative to Canada's fisheries production, size of working force in the fishing industry, number of vessels and boats and processing plants and other like data, are given in the annual publication known as Fisheries Statistics of Canada. That report is prepared by the Depart- ment. and the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, jointly, with the collaboration of 7 8 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES provincial services in those parts of the country where fisheries administration is in the hands of the provinces—Quebec, Ontario, and the three Prairie Provinces. Since the statistical paper gives these detailed data the present paragraphs dealing with 1944 operatina results will only concern themselves, except in a few instances, with •production in the sea fisheries of British Columbia and the Maritime Provinces, which are under the Department's administration. That is, the same thing as saying that the comments here are concerned with fisheries ivhich ordinarily produce more than four-fifths of the country's annual landings of fish and shellfish. Most of the remaining one-fifth comes from the freshwater fisheries, >although it includes important quantities of fish and shellfish taken by Quebec sea fishermen. Working Force and Industrial Production in 1944—Combined landings from the sea fisheries of the Maritime Provinces and. British Columbia in the calendar. year 1944, something over 994,800,000 pounds, were smaller than the 1943 catch but they brought the fishermen; an increased return in dollars and the finished products were worth, as marketed, $73,100,000, a gain of more than $4,975,000. (In general, round figures only are being used in this review.) Solar as money. return to the fishermen was concerned—that is, the value of the catch as landed—the $39,360,000 total showed an in,crease of nearly $3,860,000. In making the catch nearly 38,600 fishermen were at work or over 1,300 More tha.n in 1943. Plant employees who prepared the catch for market, and thus shared in creating the marketed value return for the year, nmxtbered 15,450, an increase of something less than 1,200. Capital equipment in use, including vessels, boats, gear, plant and machinery, represented an investment of $56,- 800,000, which was $4,200,000 and more above the. 1943 figure. In number of fishermen,, n,umber of plant workers, and capital investment there was an increase in each of the four provinces. Catch, by Provinces--Shown by provinces, in round figures, the year's sea catch and landed value were as follows:— - Catch Taken Landed Value Clots. $ British Columbia 4,583,200 17,333,300 Nova Scotia 3,345,500 14,851,300 New Brunswick .1,747,300' 5,377,100' Prince Edward Island 272,200 1,797,300 New Brunswick commercial fishermen also caught 4,700 hundredweights of freshwater fish which had a landed value of $27,500. In Nova Scotia there was catch increase, as compared with 1943 landings, but in each of the other provinces decrease. As for landed value, there was gain in Nova Scotia and gain, too, both in New Brunswick and British Columbia, notwithstanding the falling off in landings in the latter provinces. There were catch and landed value decreases in Prince Edward Island. Marketed value increased in the first three provinces but not in Prince Edward Island. Bigger catches of cod and other groundfish and increase in herring landings had most to do with Nova Scotia's gain in production. In the main, New Bruns:wick's lowered catch figures were due to, smaller landings of herring and sardines. Reduction in hake and cod fares explain most of the drop in Prince Edward Island total. One noteworthy result of the year's fishing in the Maritimes was an increase in lobster catch, which will be referred to further in a later paragraph. Principal factors contributing to the decrease in Pacific Coast catch were the reductions in the quantities of pilchards and salmon that were taken. In volume, the pilchard decrease was much the greater, in what it represented in dollars the salmon decrease the more important, since salmon are much more valuable fish than pilchards. Even at that, however, some stiffening in prices REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 9 brought the marketed value of the diminished salmon catch about $880,000 above the 1943 mark, or up to more than $15,620,000. Apropos of these catch reductions it may be pointed out that fluctuations in production from year to, year take place in all fisheries. They may result from various factors or from a combination of factors operating at the same time. Smaller catch from a fishery in some particular year may turn out to have been indicative of a lessening in abundance of stock but it is not necessarily an indication of that kind. Catch comparisons covering only a year or two of the operations in a fishery are not to be relied upon as a basis for conclusions as to changes in abundance in the fishing stock; much more study than that is required to reach sound conclusions. As for pilchards, sharp rise and fall in the curve of apparent availability in British 'Columbia waters is quite a common state of affairs. Study has not yet .been carried far enough to find the explanation of this condition. In the case of salmon, fluctuations in the size of the runs have been much less pronounced than the ups-and-downs in the pilchard fishery but they have been evident over the years, and evident, of course, not only in British Columbia areas but elsewhere as well—in the big Alaska fishery, for instance. In this connection it may be added that while British Columbia's catch of salmon was considerably smaller in 1944 than in. 1943 it is already clear, as this report is written, that 1945 landings will not only be much larger than last year's but also well ahead of the 1943 catch. As a further fact of interest it may be said, too, that at the instance of the Department, the Fisheries Research Board of Canada has been extending its studies of British Columbia salmon and. the salmon fishery with a view to determining what are the underlying causes of the variations in the runs and what corrective or controlling measures may be possible. In further reference to Pacific Coast catch it may be sufficient to point out that, as already indicated, the decrease in aggregate 1944 landings was due to smaller quantities of pilchards and 'salmon 'being taken. In the herring and halibut fisheries, which with the salmon and pilchard fisheries, make up British Columbia's "Big 'Four", the catches increased', though the 'halibut figures did not change greatly. In the remaining provincial fisheries, twenty-five or so, taken as a group, there was some rise in production. Marketed Value—The following table sets out the year's marketed value totals for the sea fisheries, by 'provinces, and the increase or decrease in each case, as compared with 1943 figures, with round numbers used in all instances:— 1944 Change • $ $ • British Columbia 34,901,000 +2,422,300 Nova Scotia 23,662,000 +1,977,600 New Brunswick 11,096,400k -4- 838,700 Prince Edward Island 2,598,900 — 261,900 In addition, there was a marketed value return of $27,500 from New Brunswick's commercial freshwater fisheries. The Salmon Fishery—In point of marketed. value, $15,623,200, British Columbia's salmon fishery continued to hold its established top position among the Dominion's fisheries, notwithstanding that its catch for the year was disappointing. The cod fishery, almost wholly in Atlantic waters, was in second-place, with a value aggregate of $11,975,500 for the landings in the four provinces particularly- under review here. Were the figures for Quebec, the other cod producing province, also taken into account the year's cod value for the Dominion would reach $14,800,000 or more. In third position, as to marketed value, $10,200,000, was the herring fishery, which had been in second place in the year before. Adding in Quebec figures would lift the herring total fairly substantially but not enough to bring it up to the ced value.

50160-2 10 DEPAIUMENT OF FISHERIES Salmon, cod, and herring would ,be found to hold their places of leadership among all Ca.nadian fisheries even were these paragraphs to concern themselves with fisheries results in all nine provinces in. 1944, not simply with results in four. No oth.er fisheries approach salmon, cod and herring in dollar importance, except the lobster fishery. Canning is the major branch of the Pacific salmon industry, of course, but with 1944 bringing sharp reduction in raw material landings the cannery output dropped to a low figure—as a matter of fact, the lowest in years, or under 1,098,000 cases. Most of the fish was supplied to the United Kingdom. As compared with 1943 output, the pack showed a decrease of more than 160,000 cases. However, as this report is written, there is the encouraging indication that 1945 production from British Columbia's salmon canneries -vvill not only be much larger than the 1944 pack but it will exceed 1943 output by more than 475,000 cases. With drop in production, the dollar return from 1944 canning showed a decrease of a couple of hundred thousand dollars. On the other hand, there was a gain of $600,000 in the return from sales of fresh and frozen salmon and a gain of over $400,000 in the business in mild-cured salmon. The quantity of mild-cured salmon .marketed was well over twice as great as in 1943. British Columbia Herring Operations—Although herring.are ta,ken on both coasts the bigger part of the Canadian catch comes from British Columbia waters, or, in 1944, 182,795,000 pounds as against 97.645,000 pounds landed by Maritime Province fi:shermen. (Quebec landings for the year were about 32,600,000 pound's.) British Columbia continued to be the big source of canned herring, put up for delivery to the British Food Ministry. Actually the pack was smaller than in 1943 but, nevertheless, exceeded 1,130,500 cases and when it is pointed out that in 1938 the pack was under 24,000 cases it will be seen how tremendously wartime operations were expanded to meet United Nations' needs. If cannery output decreased in 1944 the production of herrinsr meal and oil in British. Columbia showed increase, with oil totalling over 8,2007000 gallons. and meal 8,830 tons. Only small quantities of these herring by-products are manufactured elsewhere in Canada. The Cod Fishery—Cod fishing is of top ranking importance on the Atlantic coast but relatively unimportant in British Columbia. Out of landings totalling nearly 186,500,000 pounds made by Maritime Province and Pacific Coast fishermen in 1944 all save 942,000 pounds came from waters off Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. In marketed value the fish were worth $11,975,500, an increase of $2,000,000 and more over the 1943 return. Quebec added roughly 50,000,000 pounds to the catch aggregate. However, Quebec landings were smaller than in 1943, and with the decrease in that province set off against the increase elsewhere the net gain in Canada's cod production for the year was about 20,900,000 pounds. Actually, the credit for this net gain belongs to 'Nova .Scotia, always the source of much the greater part of the Dominion's cod production, where the year's catch was not far below 166,000,000 pounds, as compared with less than 136,900,000 in the year before. In New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and British Columbia there were reductions. Much of the .cod catch always goes into the fresh-and-frozen trade, much to the dried fish markets, smaller quantities are smoked or canned. The 1944 marketing included substantial shipments of frozen fillets to the British Food Ministry. Production of dried salt cod, including dried boneless, showed, fairly sharp increase in the Maritimes, exceeding 17,300,000 pounds or 3,400,000 pounds more than in the preceding year. No dried fish is packed in British Columbia. Lobster Production—Camada's .lobster fishery, entirely in Atlantic waters, is much the most important lobster fishery in the world, with the bulk of the

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER, 11 annual catch being taken by Maritime Province fishermen but with Quebec also having substantial landings to its credit. In 1944 lobster fishing was good.. All told, the lobstermen of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward- Island landed 30,918,000 pounds or over 2,700,000 poun,ds more than in 1943. With prices firm, this catch brought the fishermen nearly $6,900,000 in landed value and was worth more than $8,524,000 on the market. The pack of canned lobster in the three provinces was 59,050 cases, 2,000 or so more than in the year ;before. More detailed reference to canned , lobster production will be found in the report of the Department's Chief Supervisor (Eastern), Appendix No. 2. Shipments of live lobsters exceeded 16,351,000 pounds, an increase of nearly 280,000 • ounds. They went mainly to the United States which, since war halted British importation of canned lobster, has also become the market for the great bulk of the Dominion's lobster cannery output. By provinces, the catch in the Maritimes, its landed value, and its marketed value were as follows, stated in round figures:— Catch Landed Value Marketed Value Clots. $ $ Nova Scotia 171,410 4,173.609a 3,759400a New Brunswick 72,000 1.611,600 3,4'29,600 Prince Edward Island 65,780 1,149,700 1,335,500 Quebec catch and landed value: Approx. 22.100 cwts. and $371,800. Certain quantities from the Nova Scotia catch were not marketed direct from Nova Scotia but entered into inter-shipments which were marketed from the other provinces. This explains why Nova Scotia "'Marketed Value" appears as lower than "Landed Value". It is not uncommon for inter-shipments to create seeming discrepancies of this kind.

COMMERCIAL FRESHWATER FISHERIES Landings of commercial freshwater fish decreased in 1944 and there was decrease, too, both in landed and marketed value. Saskatchewan and Alberta were the two provinces to show gain on all three sides of the account. There were also gains all 'round in the Yukon Territory but commercial fishing in Yukon waters is small-scale and changes in its results do not affect the over-all freshwater figures very much. Ontario had catch gain to its credit but was less fortunate as regards landed and marketed values.. Quebec's pound,age and dollar figures were smaller than in 1943, and so, too, the New Brunswick figures but commercial freshwater fishing in the latter province is limited-. There was sharp reduction in catch and value totals in Manitoba where landings fell off in most of the principal fisheries, such as those for whitefish, tullibees, pike-perch or pickerel, and saugers. Among the freshwater fish the whitefish continued at the top of the list in aggregate marketed value, and Saskatchewan, by the way, again in first place among the provinces as a whitefish producer, though a few years ago several others had ranked above it in this respect. Whitefish marketed; value for the Dominion was $3,501,500, not quite as much as in 1943. Pickerel, $2,220,000, ranked second, with some increase to its credit. Next in order in the upper bracket came Lake trout, Blue pickerel, and saugers 'but none of them made as good a showing as in the preceding year. Freshwater catch and marketed value for the year is set out, by provinces, in the following table, together with value increases; or decreases as compared with 1943 results:— *Catch *Value *Increase or Decrease Czots. $ $ Ontario 310,400 4,938,200 —354,100 Manitoba 293,200 3,581,800 —982.800 Saskatchewan 129,600 1,482,200, +327,700 Alberta 76,300 929,900 +134.900 Quebec 48,600 362,700 -. -1-442,600 New Brunswick 4,712 27,500 — 5,100 Yukon 281 3,100 -4- 600 * Round figures used. 50160-2i 12 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES FISHERIES EXPORT BUSINESS All previous records in Canadian export trade in fisheries products went by the board in 1944. The business amounted, all told. to $68,642,000, roundly stated, or very nearly $8,330,000 more than in 1943. The major gain, $5,160,000 (again using round figures, as will be done throughout these trade paragraphs), was in the exportation to the United States. Shipments to the United Kingdom showed an increase of close to $654,000 and amounted to $18,331,000. Exports to countrie,s other than Britain and the United States totalled $8,611,000 and were greater by $2,515,000 than in the preceding year. Exports of fresh and frozen fish led all groups of fisheries products in aggregate value, with shipments of canned fish and shellfish ranking second, and shipments of dried, pickled and smoked fish third. In the case of all three of these product classifications the business was greater than in 1943. Trade in marine oils, nearly $4,774,000, increased by more than $1,600,000, with roughly three-quarters of the sales being made to the United States. Miscellaneous minor products added approximately $700,000 to the export total—not a large sum, of course, but well over twice the value of similar products sent to external markets in the year before. So far as fresh and frozen fish are concerned, the normal condition is that the great bulk of Canada's exports of this kind go to the United States, and in this regard 1944 was a normal year, no matter how abnormal in some other respects. In the total exportation of products in the fresh-and-frozen class, $31,478,000, the sales to the United States represented over $27,754,000. However, the increase in these sales, as compared with the value of the business done with the United States in 1943, was under $1,300,000 while supplies sent Great Britain showed an increase of twice that, with something to spare. The supplies sent Britain .consisted almost whelly of frozen cod, pollock, and flatfish from the Atlantic coast and halibut and flatfish from British Columbia, all made available to the British Ministry of Food under agreements .between Ottawa and London. Small trade with some countries other than Britain and the United States added a trifle to the increase side of the year's account, and aggregate gain in external business in fresh-and-frozen came close to $3,957,000. Canned fish and shellfish sent out of the country during the year were valued at $21,233,000, not a great deal more, $260,500, than in 1943. Most of the shipments went to the United Kingdom but there was a value decrease here of $2,300,000, a state of affairs explained by a reduction in the quantities of canned salmon and canned herring delivered to Britain in the course of the year. Sales to the United States amounted to $3,641,000, with canned lobster alone accounting for $3,064,000 of the aggregate. The annual business with the United States in camied lobster—it was $2,240,000 in 1943—traces back to the plan put into effect by the Department, early in the war, to develop North American outlets for the output of the Atlantic Coast lobster canneries which had previously marketed the great bulk of their production in Britain but could no longer do so under wartime conditions. Although much the larger part of the 1944 export business in canned products was with Great Britain and the United States, sales to other countries totalled $4,067,000, a 50 per cent gain and better. In the case of cured fish (salted, smoked, pickled) more than half of the year's trade, or $5,985,000 out of $10,459,000, was with the United States. Exportation to Britain was only small, under $395,000, but the British people have ne-ver been large users of Canadian cured fish products. A business of nearly $4,080,000 was done in these commodities with countries other than the United Kingdom and United States, principally West Indian areas. The overall increase in export trade in products in this group was only slightly less than $2,050,000. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 13 INTERNATIONAL PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES COMMISSION During the year 1944 the major interest of the Commission, which was established under the 1937 sockeye salmon treaty between Canada and the United States, continued to relate to the numerous obstructions to salrnon migration existing in the Fraser River system, and to means of • removing or overcoming them. (References to the earlier work of the Commission will be found in previous departmental reports). On April 1, 1944, the sum of $1,000,000 was made available to the Commission by the Government of each country for use in connection with the improvement of conditions affecting migration in the Fraser system. Obstruction at Hell's Gate Canyon presented the prime problem requiring attention. It had been under continued intensive study by Commission biologists and engineers. Based upon the results of these studies, plans had been prepared for constructing fishways through the rocky walls of the canyon on either side of the river so that salmon seeking to make their way to the upstream spawning areas might surmount the obstructive condition which at certain water levels at Hell's Gate prevent the passage of fish. The plans provided for a fishway about 500 feet long on one side of the river and a second of 200 feet on the other side. Early in July, 1944, tenders for the work we.re invited by public advertise- ment both in the Dominion and in the United States. A number were received and they were opened at the Commission's New Westminster offices in early August. Shortly afterwards the contract was awarded to the Coast Con- struction Company, Limited, of Vancouver. The company began work at Hell's Gate later in August and it is expected that the fishways will be in operation at the time of the 1945 sockeye run to the Fraser. Cost of the under- taking will be shared equally by the two countries. The next major obstruction to be considered will be Bridge River Rapids where considerable difficulty is encountered by migrating sockeye. Biological investigations at the Rapids have continued over several seasons and engineering studies were commenced in 1944. Farwell Canyon a point of difficult passage for salmon migrating up the Chilcotin River to the Chilko spawning grounds, is likewise being studied, as are the Skookumchuck Rapids on the Lower Lillooet River. The total estimated spawning escapement of sockeye to the major streams of the Fraser River watershed for 1944 was 421,858 fish, as compared with 762,886 for the brood year, 1940. In other words, the spawning escapement for 1944 was only 51-4 per cent as great as that for the brood year. The following table shows the percentages of the total sockeye escapement reaching each of the six most important spawning areas for each of the two years in question. A decrease in the percentages reaching Cultus Lake and Harrison.River Rapids in 1944 and an increase in the same year for the Birken- head River should be noted.

The report of the Commission for 1944 contains special reports on the engineering investigation at Hell's Gate, scientific management of the Fraser River sockeye, sockeye salmon tagging at Salmon Banks, Iceberg Point, Lummi 14 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Island, and the Sand Heads, yield statistics of the sockeye fishery of the Fraser River, and sockeye catch 'statistics for the Indian fishery of the Fraser River watershed. The commissioners met three times during the year. At the first meeting, held in Chicago on June 10 and 11, plans schedules, and specifications for the Hell's Gate fishways were studied. At the second meeting, held in Vancouver on August 3-6, tenders submitted by various bidders were considered and the contract awarded. At the other meeting, held at Vancouver on December 4 and 5, the Hell's Gate project was discussed with representatives of the contractor. At this meeting some of the work of the past field season was also outlined by members of the scientific staff.

INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES COMMISSION, 1944 Under authority of the treaty of January 29, 1937, between Canada and the United States, the International Fisheries Commission continued in 1944 to regulate the Pacific halibut fishery and to carry forward the investigations of the condition and trends of the fishery upon which regulation is based. Regulations for the halibut fishery in 1944, issued on March 20, were basically the same as the regulations of the pre-vious year. They contained ,only a few noteworthy changes. These were designed to obtain the maximum annual catch justified by the condition of the stocks of fish, to reduce illegal fishing prior to the opening of the fishing season and to give additional protection to the small halibut upon which the future of the fishery depends. The regulations continued the Area 3 catch limit of 27,500,000 pounds but increased the catch limit for Area 2, which includes the grounds off the coast of British Columbia, from 23,000,000 to 23,500,000 pounds. They substituted a minimum length limit of 26 inches for halibut with heads on for the previously used minimum weight limit of 5 pounds 13 ounces for dressed halibut with heads on. They lin-iited the pre-season validation of halibut licences for fishing in Areas 1 and 2 and in Areas 3 and 4 to three and five days, respectively, before the opening of the fishing season. They prohibited in all areas the use of dory gear, previously prohibited only in Areas 1 and 2, and extended the provision of the regulations prohibiting the retention of halibut caught by set nets to include halibut caught by all types of nets. The fishing season began in all areas on April 16 as in the previous year but, because of a dispute over prices, little fishing was done until apprœdmately May 23. The catch limit for Area 2 was attained and Areas 1 and 2, which include all fishing grounds south of Cape Spencer, Alaska, were closed to fishing at midnight of July 9. Areas 3 and 4, comprising all grounds north and west of Cape Spencer, were closed at midnight November 30, the beginning of the statutory closed season. Permits for the retention and landing of halibut caught incidentally during fishing for other species in areas closed to halibut fishing also became invalid on November 30. Control of the size and frequency of landings, which the fishermen instituted some years earlier as a means of spreading the catch over a longer season, was discontinued entirely. The resultant increase in the size of trips and in the frequency of landings, in conjunction with an increase in the number of vessels fishing in Area 2, reduced the Area 2 fishing season to 48 days, the shortest in the . history of the fishery. In Area 3 the effect of the larger and more frequent trips was more than counterbalanced by the diversion of vessels to the shark and tuna fisheries. As a result the Area 3 catch limit was not attained by the beginning of the winter closed season. Landings of halibut on the Pacific Coast during 1944 amounted to 52,935,000 pounds, approximately 700,000 pounds less than in 1943. The decrease was caused by the failure of the fishing fleet to catch the Area 3 limit before the REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 15 winter closed season. Landings from Area 1, which extends south from Willapa Harbour, Washington, amounted to 463,000 pounds. Area 2, which lies between Willapa Harbour and Cape Spencer, Alaska, produced 25,616,000 pounds, including 845,000 pounds landed under permit after the closure of that area to regular halibut fishing. Area 3, lying between Cape Spencer and the Aleutian Islands, produced 26,856,000 pounds. No halibut were landed from Area 4, in the Aleutian Islands 'and Bering Sea region. The halibut catch of Canadian vessels amounted to 13,308,000 pounds, which was 401,000 pounds greater than in 1943. Of this total 11,077,000 pounds were caught in Area 2 and 2,231,000 pounds in Area 3. Landings of United States vessels at Canadian ports were about -6,874.000 pounds less than in 1943, because of wartime price and operating conditions which made it more profitable for such vessels to land at Alaskan ports. The Commission's program of statistical and biological investigations, which provide a factual basis for regulation, was continued as well as wartime conditions permitted. Changes in the fishery were observed and changes in the condition of the stocks of halibut were measured to determine the success of past regulations. The abundance of halibut, as indicated by the average catch per unit of, The average catch per set of fishing effort, showed further improvement. standard unit of gear was 15 per cent higher in Area 2 and 13 per cent higher in Area 3 than during the preceding year. The catch per unit of effort was 143 per cent and 133 per cent greater in Areas 2 and 3, respectively, than it was in 1930 when the abundance of halibut reached an all-time low because of over- fishing. The changes taking place in the composition of the stocks of adult halibut as a result of regulation were studied by sampling the catches of commercial fishing vessels. Approximately 21,000 fish were measured and materials for the determination of age were collected from 3,500 of these. The samples were mainly from Area 2 catches, as abnormalities in the distribution of landings made it difficult to secure samples from Area 3. Analysis of the length samples showed that the improvement in the catch per unit of effort in Area 2 during 1944 was caused, as in 1943, mainly by,an increase in the abundance of halibut of the small commercial sizes. These small fish were present in greater numbers than in 1943 and were somewhat larger in average size as a result of the additional year's growth. A small increase in the abundance of halibut of the larger sizes was also apparent. Age composition studies, which indicate the time of origin of the changes occurring in the stocks of fish, were carried forward on a very limited scale, using age materials secm-ed from the commercial catch. Only sufficient work was done to show that the small fish, which contributed so much to the catches in 1944, were derived predominantly from spawnings se-ven and eight years earlier. Although results of the analysis of spawning materials collected in the winter of 1942-43 were outlined in the annual report of the Commission's 1943 activities, mention of the vessel operations by which those materials were collected was inadvertently omitted. In that winter a vessel was chartered from late December to the end of February and was operated in the vicinity of the Cape St. James spawning grounds at the southern end of the Queen Charlotte Islands in Area 2. During the charter period, 83 quantitative net hauls were made at 38 stations to determine the abundance of eggs and larvae produced. Operations were seriously hampered by unusually bad weather and by black-out regulations which practically eliminated night work. Investigations of the success of spawning, such as those conducted at sea in Area 2 each winter from 1933-34 to 1942-43, were not undertaken in the winter of 1943-44 because of wartime restrictions which prevented the continuous day and night vessel operations that experience had shown to be necessary to 16 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

secure adequate coverage of the spawning grounds. The restrictions were relaxed later in the year and preparations for a resumption of the investigations were under way as the year ended. The temporary suspension of spasvning investigations at sea made it possible to undertake more detailed analyses of the spawning data collected during the previous nine years and to begin the organization of this material for publication. Results of the analysis indicated that it may be possible to determine the success of spawning in the Cape St. James section of Area 2 with less expenditure of time and effort than heretofore. The Commission's investigations proved that the condition of the stocks of halibut in Areas 2 and 3 was continuing to improve under regulation. They showed that the sise of the stocks and the yield therefrom could be still further increased by continued rational control. Meetings of the Commission were held at Seattle, Washington, on November 27, 28 and 29, to .consider petitions which had been received to examine the effect of regulation upon the condition of the stocks of halibut and to decide upon regulations for 1945. As in previous years, the Commission maintained close contact with the fishing industry. On November 27 it met with representatives of the Otter Trawlers' Union, Seattle, to receive representations concerning the Commission's prohibition of the use of nets in the halibut fishery. On November 28 it met with the Halibut Conference Board, composed of representatives of the halibut fishing fleets of Alaska, British Columbia and Washington. At this conference the results of the Commission's investigations and the effect of regulations upon the condition of the stocks of halibut were reviewed and recommendations for the regulations of the fishery in 1945 were received and discussed. Members of the Commission were: Mr. G. W. Nickerson and Mr. A. J. Whitmore, for Canada; and Mr. Edward W. Allen and Mr. Charles E. Jackson, for the United States. Mr. Nickerson and Mr. Allen served as Chairman and Secretary, respectively.

FUR SEAL RETURNS • Revenue accruing to Canada from sales of Pribilof Island sealskins in the fiscal year 1944-45 amounted in all to $374,743.20. Over against this return were expenses of $191,458.67, chargeable to the appropriation voted by Parliament to take care of processing costs, freight, etc., in connection with sealskin trans- actions. Of the total revenue $282,101 was the net return from the sale of 3,977 pelts marketed at fur auctions in -Montreal for the Department of Fisheries, which handles fur seal matters for the Government. Another $91,238 represented Canada's share of the proceeds from sales made by the United States Government at St. Louis, Missouri. The skins sold at St. Louis had all been processed there. Some of the pelts auctioned at Montreal .had also been processed on Canada's order at St. Louis and then brought into this country for disposal. • Most of the skins ,sold in the Dominion, however, had been dressed and dyed in London, England. At one time it was Canada's practice to have .all the Pribilof skins to which it was entitled under the former Pelagic Sealing Treaty marketed with United States pelts in St. Louis and to receive payment of its share of the return from the Washington Government. Later, the Dominion changed the plan and sent its ,annual share of skins to London for processing and sale. Still later, another change was made 'and Canadian skins, though sent to London for processing, were brought back to this country for marketing. Wartime conditions dis- located some of these arrangements, however,.and tit present some of the skins entering into the Canadian share of the take are processed and sold in St. Louis, some are processed at St. Louis and sold in this country, some are processed in England and returned to the Dominion for sale. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 17 Canada now shares in the annual take of skins from the Pribilof rookeries under a Provisional Sealing Agreement between this -country and the United States. All seal hunting at the rookeries is .carried on by the -United States authorities and the Dominion is entitled each y-ear to 20 per cent of the total number of pelts taken. Formerly, und.er the Pelagic Sealing Treaty, 1911, between Great Britain, United States, Russia and Japan, the Canadian share was 15 per cent. That treaty ceased to be operative in 1941 and Ottawa and Washington then entered into the present provisional arrangement.. Durin.g the 1944 sealing seaso-n at the Pribilofs only 47,652 skins were taken as compared with 117,164 in 1943. On the surface, this great reduction may seem surprising and, indeed; might be regarded as suggesting a sud-den -and a serious diminution in the size of the seal herd. As a matter of fact, however, the very large take in 1943 was due to exceptional conditions, and the drop in 1944 to a take of less than average size was likewise due to exceptional conditions, but conditions of an altogether different charaeter from those which affected the figures for the preceding year. As for the 1943 take: The usual practice in Pribilof sealing is to kill only the surplus three-year-old males of each season but in 1942 certain war factors had prevented any sealing whatever and. the three-year-olds went free; when it was possible to resume hunting in 1943 the males in both the three-year and four-year classes were taken and, consequently, there was a big jump in the season's total kill. In 1944, on the other hand, weather conditions apparently tended to keep a substantial number of the younger male seals off the rookeries until late in the season when the most favourable time for taking the skins had p.assed, and the number of pelts obtained was consequently smaller than might normally have been expected.

FISH CULTURE—OYSTER CULTURE Appendix No. 3 deals with the department's fish cultural operation's for the year in the three Maritime Provinces where the fisheries are mainly under Dominion administration. Under the fish oulture branch 13 main hatcheries, 5 rearing stations, 6 retaining ponds, and several camps -for egg collection purposes, were operated. All told, the total output from these establishments was 18,501,600. Three-quarters and more of the output were distributed in the fingerling and older stages. A review of the year's work in connection with oyster culture will be found in Appendix 4.

FISHING BOUNTY In the following table details are given as to the distribution of fishing botinty on the Atlantic coast for the 1944 .season when 19,709 fishermen and the owners of 9,715 fishing boats and vessels shared in the total payments of $158,232. Fishing bounty payments are made under authority of "An Act to Encourage the Developing of Deep-sea Fisheries and the Building of Fishing Vessels." The basis of distribution varies s_lightly from year to year, ,according to the number Of claimants eligible to share in a bounty total of $160,000. For 1944 the basis of distribution was as follows: To owners of fi,shing boats of not less than 12-foot keel, $1 per boat; to boat fishermen entitled to bounty, $7,159; to eligible vessel owners $1 per registered ton, the maximum payment in the case of .any one vessel, $80; to -vessel fishermen entitled to bounty, $7.60 each. On this hasis 8,892 boats and their crews received, all told, $117,854, in even figures, and 823 vessels and their crews to $40,377.

Norn.-A number of "late" claims amounting in all to 51,706.80 and which are included in this statement, are for the season of 1943. As the basis of distribution for 1943 differed from that of 1944 a number of figures in the "amount" columns do not, as a result, balance witlrthe number of claims paid.

PRAIRIE «WHITEFISH INSPECTION One of the important new steps taken during the year was the establishment of a system of whitefish inspection in the Prairie Provinces under joint arrangements made by the federal authorities and the three provinces. The system was set up with a view to overcoming certain difficulties in whitefish marketing, the most important single branch of Prairie fisheries trade, a branch which consists mainly in exportation to the United States. The inspection plan became operative in November, 1944, the beginning of the winter fishing season in Prairie areas, under regulations authorized by the federal Fish Inspection Act. This is the first time any such scheme has been brought into effect by joint federal-provincial action. Experience will no doubt show the need for this or that improvement in the inspection procedure but results so far indicate that the system will be of a good deal of benefit. Creation of the system followed several conferences between federal fisheries authorities and those of the provinces concerned. At these conferences, which

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 19 had been preceded by a fact-finding investigation of the marketing situation, there was unanimous agreement that action needed to be taken and no great difficulty was experienced in deciding upon the general principles to be followed: Details of the plan which were worked out in these and later discussions need not be gone into very fully here. Briefly, the plan provides, first, for surveys of whitefish producing waters to determine their suitability as sources of market supply and, second, the further examination by inspecting officers as may be necessary of whitefish shipments sent out of any of the three provinces. (With the probable development of some commercial fishing in the Northwest Terri- tories in mind the regulations will also be applicable in those areas as need arises). The surveys of whitefish waters are carried out by provincial officers who follow a uniform procedure suggested by fisheries scientists. Inspection of shipments is directed by a federal officer, known as Chief Inspector. Working with him as whitefish inspectors are provincial fisheries officers who, for this particular work, have the status of federal officials,. No whitefish shipment may be moved from a Prairie province unless it bears' either a certificate issued and signed by an authorized inspecting officer or an "identity tag". Certificates are of two kinds—one, bearing the words "Inspected Whitefish" are ,given in the case of fish which were of approved quality as caught, the second, marked "Inspected Processed Whitefish", is for fish which have been brought to proper level of quality by filletting or other means of processing. The identity tags are for shipments from waters which have not been surveyed in accordance with the regulations. Whitefish in this category are marked by the officers as "Non-Inspected Whitefish". Issuance of identity tags is a temporary measure and they will disappear when the work of surveying all the Prairie whitefish waters is completed. The more important lakes have already been surveyed but a number of other waters remain to be examined.

APPENDIX No. 1 ANNUAL REPORT OF CHIEF SUPERVISOR OF FISHERIES (MAJOR J. A. MOTHERWELL), WESTERN DIVISION (BRMSH COLUMBIA), FOR 1944 Total value of the fisheries of the province for the year amounted to $34,903,064, compared with $32,477,964 in 1943, $38,059,559 in 1942, and an average of $15,628,534 during the ten-year period 1930 to 1939. The principal items making up the total for 1944 are: Salmon 815,623,204 Herring 6,758,625 Fish livers and viscera, 4,770,825 Halibut 2,934,885 Pilchards 2,222,181

SALMON The pack of all varieties of salmon totalled 1,097,557,1; cases, compared with 1,258,2211- cases for the previous year, and an average of 1,585,999 cases over the last five seasons. The average total salmon packs for the province since 1925 are given in the following statement: 1925-1929 1,716,456 cases 1930-1934 1,367,179 cases 1935-1939 1,633,102 cases 1940-1944 1,585,999 cases

20 - DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Whilst 1944 was not expected to produce a large pack of salmon, in view of brood-year conditions on the spawning grounds in the case of several of the varieties, yet the final total was considerably below expectations. The packs were particularly disappointing in the case of chums and cohoes. The condition of the spawning grounds in the brood years, in the case of these two varieties, justified the expectation of very considerably larger returns, but for unknown: reasons the runs to the streams in the lower part of t:he province, particularly in the case of chums, could almost be classed as a failure. Primarily for the purpose of assuring that a satisfactory percentage of the returning salmon to the Fraser River system would reach their spawning grounds an extra 24-hour weekly close period was enforced in District No. 1 (Fraser River Area), and in Johnstone Straits where the Fraser runs are intensively fished by purse-seines. In addition, in Districts Nos. 1 and 3 all salmon fishing by means of nets was closed on November 3rd instead of being permitted until the legal closing time of November 30th. As a result of these extra. measures no doubt a larger percentage of the runs did succeed in passing to the spawning grounds, but the several species were still not sufficiently numerous to provide a satisfactory seeding of the Fraser watershed or in the, fall salmon streams in the southern part of the province, including Vancouver Island. The fishery officers advised that, particularly in the n.orthern areas., there was a lack of energy on the part of the salmon gill-net fishermen in commencing operations. One factor was the more attractive grayfish operations in the vicinity of the Queen Charlotte Islands and along the West Coast of Vancouver

Island. -

SOCKEYE The total canned pack of 247,714 cases, whilst exceeding that of the previous year, when the total reached 164,889 cases, compares very unfavourably with the preceding five year average of 380,175 cases, as shown below: 1925-1929 • 304,503 cases 1930-1934 337,897 cases 1935-1939 361,716 cases 1940-1944 380,175 cases Naas River Area.—The total of 13,318 cases compares with 24,425 cases in 1939 and 13,810 cases in 1940, the two brood years. The number of gill-net fishing boats operating was 186 compared with 289 in 1939 and 254 in 1940. • The escapement to the spawning grounds is reported as- satisfactory. Skeena River Area.--The pack of 67,855 cases compares with 68,388 in 1939 an-cl 116,505 in 1940. There were 725 gill-net boats operating in 1944, compared with 844 in 1939 and 926 in 1940. - The escapement to the spawning grounds is reported as good. The local inspector states that two salmon traps operating on the Alaska side of the international boundary and close to it caught 44,000 sockeye in the last week of July. In view of the fact that the Naas and Skeena are the only sockeye streams in the vicinity, and that tagging operations in the past have shown that in the fishing operations in Alaskan waters sockeye heading for Canadian streams are taken, there appears to be no doubt that the salmon included in this large catch were on their way to Canadian streams. Rivers and Smiths Inlets.—The combined pack of these two areas totalled 40,8591- cases, compared with 71,068 in 1939 and 89,142 in 1940. In the year under review 1,090 gill-net boats operated, compared with 1,817 in 1939 and 1,896 in 1940. The escapement to the spawning grounds is reported as being light. In 1939 severe freshets occurred in the Smiths and Rivers Inlet watersheds, resulting in spawning streams being washed out and large quantities of eggs REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 21 destroyed. Suspected damage has been confirmed by the lack of four year old fish returning in 1943 and five year fish in 1944. At Smiths Inlet the 1944 cycle is a small one, in any event, and no large return was expected. To assure of a larger percentage of escapement to the spawning grounds the fishing boundary was lowered in such a manner as to cut off approximately four and one-half miles where in the past as many as 70 gill-net fishermen have operated. It is estimated this particular area in the past has produced about one-third of the total sockeye catch in the Smiths Inlet subdistrict. Fraser River Area.—Apart from the run to the Chile° watershed, this area

-wa,s expected to show a very poor return of sockeye but, actually, the pack was 85,6564- cases as against 86,215 cases in the brood year, 1940. There were 2,582 gill-net boats lic-ensed to operate in 1944, compared with 2,237 in 1940. Examination of the spawning grounds bore out the expectation that the Chile() area would probably produce the very large percentage of the pack, as it was only in this area that the spawning was good. It is interesting ta note, in connection with the sockeye run,s to the Fraser River watershed, that two of the cycles out. of the four have built up quite rapidly in the last 20 years. These are the runs to Chilco and Shuswap areas. In the Chile° area the following conditions have been found on the spawning grounds. 1928—Reported as the best in fourteen years, although a count was not made. 1932-70,000 spawning sockeye estimated. 1936-74,000 spawning sockeye estimated 1940-350,000 spawning sockeye estimated. 1944-350,000 spawning sockeye estimated. In the Shuswap area spawning conditions were as follows:— 1922—Éstimated from 20,000 to 25,000 sockeye on the spawning grounds. 1926-500,000 to 800,000. 1930—Increase over 1926. 1934-25 per cent increase over 1930. 1938—Estimated approximately 2,000.000 sockeye. 1942—Estimated at well over 2,000,000 sockeye. In each year of the two cycles mentioned, extra conservation measures were enforced in the areas through which the salmon runs passed to the spawning grounds of the Fraser watershed. Evidently conditions at Hell's Gate were satisfactory for the safe passage of the fish. As the sockeye running to the Fraser River are predominantly four year fish it will be appreciated that it requires four or five cycles to show definitely the results of any unusual measures taken for the purpose of increasing runs. The experience with the t.wo cycles mentioned above illustrates what can be done, as well as the fact that a good many years are required to produce results. What has already been accomplished by the Department in the Chilco and Shuswap areas justifies the expectation that the operations of the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission will restore the runs in the Fraser to their original state of productivity. COHOE,S The year's total of 169,0824- cases compares with 361,380 cases canned in the brood year of 1941, and with 176,313 cases, the average of the preceding three years, as shown by the following statement: Cases 19304932 128,035 1933-1935 183,112 1936-1938 200,007 1939-1941 253,171 - 1942-1944 176,313 The year's pack was definitely a dis;appointment and its size is .not understood in -view of the conditions found in the brood year of 1941.

22 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

PINKS The pack of 389,692 cases compares with 270,622-1 cases in the brood year, 1942, and with 459,940 cases, the average of the last two year cycle, as shown by the following statement: Cases 1931-1932 215,355 1933-1934 483,461 1935-1936 553,249 1937-1938 493,226 1939-1940 417,253 1941-1942 349,194 1943-1914 459,940 The exceptionally good run to the Bella Coola and Bella Bella areas was responsible for a large portion of the 1944 pack. This run was not unexpected by the fishery officers as the seeding in 1942 was unusually satisfactory in these areas.

OHITMS The total of 255,3161- cases was extremely disappointing in view of the excellent run in 1940 when 643,443 cases were packed. The average pack over the previous four years was 544,827 cases, as shown by the following statement: Cases 1925-1928 683,808 1929-1932 297,213 1933-1936 453,476 1937-1940 504,860 1941-1944 544,827 Conditions on the spawning grounds in the brood year were very satisfactory, and the reason for the small return this year is not understood. One factor which would probably have some effect on the 1944 pack was the closing of all salmon net fishing in Districts Nos. 1 and 3 on November 3, for conservation purposes, instead of permitting operations to continue until the legal limit, No-vember 30.

SALMON—GENERAL The number of sockeye salmon required to fill a case of 48 one-pound talls in the several more important gill-net areas during the season of 1944 was as follows: Fraser River 12-31 Skeena River 12 • 71 Naas River 11.58 Rivers Inlet 15.00 Bella Coola 14.50 Butedale 14.70

SLOAN TIMBER ENQUIRY Advantage was taken of the Provincial Government Timber Enquiry, being conducted by the Honourable Mr. Justice Gordon McG. Sloan, to present a brief on behalf of the Department, calling the attention of the commissioner to the great damage done the salmon fisheries of the province as a result of logging operations. The more serious aspects of this matter are described as follows: The removal of the timber and destruction of the forest floor along the streams and around the shores of the lakes causes a quick run-off after each rain, instead of the water being absorbed and held to run off grad:ually. (a) As the salmon eggs of the fall run species are normally deposited in the gravel of the stream beds during high water conditions the quick run- off leaves large quantities of them high and dry, resulting in their destruction. (b) There is so little water left in the streams that those young salmon which have been successfully hatched are stranded in holes or shallow channels and become an eaSy prey to their numerous enemies, such as gulls, ducks, and.other forms of life, or later perish if the water dries up. (c) The burning of the slash also destroys the moss and top soil, leaving the gravel, which does not hold the water. (d) At the end of the summer when the adult salmon return for spawning purposes they are unable to ascend the streams through lack of water, REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 25' and either die unspawned in their attempt to reach the spawning grounds or express their eggs in brackish or salt water where they are destroyed. (e) T.here may be a trickle of water in the smaller streams which permits the adult salmon to ascend part way up the streams but the supply is so small as to allow eagles, ducks, gulls, and bears to destroy literally all adult salmon. This is particularly evident in some of the streams along the east coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands. The methods eniployed in, logging operations often result in the tearing up of roots and lodging them, together with brush and logs, in the salmon streams, where they form jams. This has the following results, iS so far as the salmon are concerned: (a) Often prevents the ascent of the adult salmon to their spawning grounds. (b) Flood water is held back and the spawning grounds are covered to a depth which prevents the spawning of the salmon even if they do succeed in passing through the jams. (c) The log and brush jams often cause a stream to change its channel, after the salmon eggs have been deposited in the gravel, leaving large ,areas of gravel filled with salmon spawn, high and dry. These eggs are a total loss. Soine operators drag the logs down the beds of the streams as they some- times find this practice more economical than building a railroad or truck road. The results of such operations are: (a) If spawning salmon are in the stream many of them are destroyed. (b) If the eggs have been expressed in the gravel by the salmon the logs destroy large quantities of them. (c) The logs gouge out the beds of the stream, removing the gravel and so destroying the spawning beds. . The following suggestions were offered as a means of correction of the situation: (1) Leave unlogged at least a half mile strip along the banks of each salmon stream and around the edges of the lakes at the head of these streams, as well as the lake tributaries. This would be particularly effective in the case of the short streams emptying directly into the sea. The difficulties and objections to such a suggestion are, of course > if this could be provided for it would appreciated, yet it is felt that go a long way towards helping the situation. (2) A comprehensive programme of reforestation. Following the logging-off of the timber there would naturally be a considerable period before the new growth would be sufficient to rectify the situation but in streams which had not been totally destroyed from the standpoint of the salmon fisheries the reforestation would un- doubtedly in time restore satisfactory conditions. (3) Make it a condition, with heavy penalties, of all licences issued to loggers, that no brush or logs be left in the streams and that ru) logs be dragged down the beds of streams. This would be of little value, however, unless strictly enforced. (4) Require logging operations by the selective method. In this way the underbrush and younger trees would be left and there would be no destruction of the moss and top soil by fire as is the case when the slash is burned. 26 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES (5) Log off alternate blocks or patches and only cut the remainder when the logged-off portions are again covered with sufficient new growth to hold the water. The varieties of salmon most greatly affected by the logging operations are those which spawn in the shorter streams near salt water. These are the pinks and chums, which, together, represent the largest portion of each season's catch.

HALIBUT The halibut fishing season in Areas Nos. "2 and 3, under the regulations of the International Fisheries Commission, opened on April 16. Owing to dis- satisfaction on the part of the United States fleet with the ceiling prices set by United States authorities, there was a delay of approximately one month in the commencement of fishing. The Canadian fleet supported the United States fishermen and remained in port until the dispute was finally settled. The result was that the Vancouver halibut fleet did not leave for the fishing grounds until midnight of May 19 and the Prince Rupert fleet at 10 a.m. on the 21. The intensive fishing in Area No. 2 caused the closing of that district on July 9, after only 51 days of operation, the shortest period on record. Owing to the fact that few of the boats of the Canadian fleet are capable of proceeding long distances from port the operations in Area No. 3 by Canadian fishermen were very limited. That area closed on November 30. The total landings at British Columbia ports during the year, including those by United States vessels, amounted to 189,248 hundredweights, compared with 250,034 hundredweights during the previous year. The smaller total was due primarily to the decrease in landings by United States boats as a result of price conditions at the Canadian ports being less attractive than in previous seasons, compared with those obtainable in Alaska. The following statement shows the landings annually in the several centres in the province, since 1930:

All told, 1,130,277 cases of herring were canne-d during the year. It has been, however, only owing to the war-created demands that any considerable quantity of British Columbia herring has been placed in cans. The manner in. which these operations have increased since the commencement of the war is shown by the following details: Year Cases 1939 233,046 1940 727,292 1941 1,013,329 1942 1,540,918 1943 1,372 775 1944 1,130,277 Cènsiderable success was obtained in locating schools of herring by means of an echo-sounding device. Eiperiments in the first instance were macle several years ago by members of the staff of the Biological Station at Nanaimo, which demonstrated the possibilities in this connection. The operators have received such encouragement from the results obtained to date that they have felt justified in installing this equipMent in a number of boats recently built.

PATROL SERVICE An even hundred boats were utilized during the year for the protection of the fisheries, 23 of them departmentally-owned. Scarcity of competent personnel in the way of patrolmen, engineers, and deckhands, continued a source of great difficulty. In fact, it was necessary in several cases to employ boys of twelve and thirteen years of age, and women as engineers at full man's pay. The boys worked with. their fathers as patrolmen, and the women with their husbands. In outside areas, in particular, it is difficult to maintain adequate patrol, unless the air service and faster, more numerous surface patrol boats are available. The fishing boats which have been constructed in recent years have greater speed than most of the Department's boats and there is no doubt that the immediate future program of the Department should include a more efficient type of patrol boat, both from the standpoint of speed and sea- worthiness, in addition to the restoration of the air service.

DESTRUCTION OF HAIR SEALS Bounty at the rate of $2.50 per seal totalled $2,080, paid on the destruction of 832 individuals. Notwithstanding the fact that by arrangement. with the Wartime Prices and Trade Board extra ammunition was made available to fishermen for the purpose of shooting hair seals, the number so destroyed was still small. It would appear necessary to increase the amount of bounty if really satisfactory results are to be obtained. As a result of the decreased intensity of hunting operations hair seals appeared to be more numerous than usual in severa'l of the important gill-net areas.. This was particularly the case in the Fraser River. With a view to assisting the fishermen, the aid of the several Armed Forces was requested ; the situation was examined by representatives of the Forces the and although only method which. promised any success was the utilization of 'planes with their machine guns, in the way of practice. After several attempts, however, it was found that the results obtained did not justify continuing these operations.

TUNA FISMNG Although in the past tuna fishing off the British Columbia coast has been confined to fishermen from south of the international boundary, Canadian

30 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES fishermen during the past year showed considerable interest in this fishery. Few of-their boats, however, are suitable, as the fishermen have to be prepared to go at least from 50 to 75 miles from shore. Notwithstanding that no regular tuna boats were available in British Columbia, a number of fishermen showed sufficient interest to land 4,636 hundredweights of this more or less luxury fish. The operators, however, claimed that in view of the high price which it is necessary to pay the fishermen to land their catches in British Columbia, canning operations were unprofitable. As a result, this product was placed in cold storage and later resold to United States canners. The price paid to the fishermen was in the vicinity of $360 per ton, landed.

GRAYFISH (DOGFISH) OPERATIONS Since the commencement of hostilities the demand for grayfish livers has increased tremendously, as shown by the following statement:

FLATFISH FOR UNITED KINGDOM During .the year 1,7g1,500 pounds of frozen flatfish were shipped to the United Kingdom on account of the British Ministry of Food.

SPORT FISHING The provincial public and many visitors continue to enjoy excellent sport fishing in the tidal waters of the province, particularly in the vicinity of those streams south ,of Seymour Narrows. The tyee and coho fishermen had an excellent season in the famous Campbell River area and conditions were also good in the Cowichan, Victoria. and Alberni districts on Vancouver Island and in the Howe Sound area near Vancouver. In the tidal portions of the Fraser River numerous residents of the province enjoyed outings, fishing from the shores and bars of the river for sport and domestic food purposes. In these operations Cutthroat, Dolly Varden, and Steelhead trout, as well as salmon and sturgeon are tak.en.

In the Naas and Lowe Inlet , areas the seeding was satisfactory. At Rivers Inlet, whilst some of the most important streams were well supplied, the seeding generally was only fair. At Smiths Inlet it was not up to expectations. In view of the fact that disappointing percentages of four-year fish in 1943 and five-year fish in 1944 %-vere found on the Rivers, and Smiths Inlet spawning beds, there would appear reason to believe that some unknown conditions were present during the spawning of the brood year of 1939 which caused an unusual morta,lity in the eggs or fry. Springs.—Taking the province as a whole the seeding was fair. Cohoes.-1ri the northern areas satisfactory supplies were observed. Con- ditions were better in the southern portion of the province, particularly in Vancouver Island streams. Pinks.—In the Yakoun River and the streams tributary to Juskatla Inlet, all in the Massett district, Queen Charlotte Islands, the seeding was good. Sirailar conditions obtained in the Lowe Inlet and Bella Bella areas, and along the mainland streams of the Alert Bay area the seeding was the best observed in the past ten years. The seeding in the Skeena area was not up to expectations. In the Vancouver Island streams, south of the Alert Bay area, the supplies were not entirely satisfactory. Chums.—Generally speaking, there was a very considerable shortage of this variety found on all the spawning grounds in the province, notwithstanding that the spawnings of previous years justified the expectation of a reasonably good return in 1944.

In the inspection of the Rivers and Smiths Inlet spawning grounds this year the fishery officer was accompanied by representatives of the salmon canners. An endea-vour was made to have someone representing the fishermen also accompany the party but without success. It is to be hoped that in future inspections the industry will take sufficient interest in spawning conditions in the several areas to have representatives present, particularly during the inspections of the most important areas.

IN DETAIL Queen Charlotte Islands Area—North Satisfactory supplies of coho salmon were found on the spawning grounds. A good seeding of pinks occurred in the Yakoun River and in the streams, tributary to Juskatla Inlet, the two most important spawning grounds of this species. As a matter of fact, all the streams tributary to Massett Inlet, with the exception of the AM River, contained good supplies of pinks, and the seeding at Yakoun, Mammon, and Detlamen rivers is reported as heavy. The seeding in the streams tributary to Naden Harbour, however, was poor. The chum seeding is reported as a failure. 50160-4 42 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Queen Charlotte Islands Area—South The pink supplies on the spawning grounds of this area were better than average and quite satisfactory. This applies to all pink creeks, particularly

-those in the Cumshewa area. The pink seeding in the Skidegate area and in the streams along the east coast was an improvement over that of the cycle year. Supplies in the -west coast streams, however, were disa-ppointing. The chum seeding .at Skidegate Inlet, Salmon Creek, and in the Jedway area was satisfactory. Elsewhere the seeding was poor.

Lower Naas Area The escapement of sockeye through the lower reaches of the Naas district is reported as being quite good, particularly so in view of the less intensive fishing this year. The seeding by springs was apparently below average. The coho supply is reported as being above average in most of the creeks, with heavy escapement to the Khutzeymateen, Quinnimas, and Ikinik rivers. The pink seeding was the best since 1936, the numerous streams in Khutzeymateen Inlet receiving good supplies. The chum supply was better than average, with a marked improvement at Toon River and Alice Arm.

Upper Naas Area A satisfactory seeding of sockeye was observed in the Meziaden Lake district, which is the chief spawning ground of this variety in the Naas watershed. The supply was somewhat lighter than the heavy seeding reported in 1939, but better than that of 1940 and last year. The spawning grounds of the lake were well covered with spawning salmon. Fish were still ascending the fishway, and, due to high water conditions, also the falls, at the time of inspection. Approx- imately 75 per cent of the run is reported to be on the large or five-year variety. Spawning conditions were normal. The supply of springs was found to be fair, but the cohoes were just commencing to arrive at the time of the inspection. According to the officer reporting for the lower reaches of the watershed, however, there was a good run of this variety proceeding up river. The fishway is reported to be in good condition, but the outside wall of the cribbing is rotted away and will require to be repaired in the near future. The Indians did not take any salmon from the Mezia den Lake area this season.

Upper Skeena Area - In the upper reaches of the Skeena River watershed the inspecting officer reports a seeding of sockeye comparable with that of the cycle year of 1940, which was reported at that time as good, the fish being of a good, average size individually. The escapement to the Babille, Morice, and Nakina districts is especially mentioned. Some creeks, of course, were better than others. For instance, at Fifiteen Mile Stream the seeding was not quite so good as in 1940. Twin Creek showed an increase of 100 per cent over 1940; Pierre Creek 15 per cent better than 1940; Fulton River showed a seeding comparable with that of 1940, although not quite as good as that of 1939 when the seeding in the Babine Lake area was reported as. being the largest during the preceding decade. The supplies in both Upper and Lower Babine rivers were comparable with the years 1939 and 1940. A good .seeding of springs occurred in Bear and Morice rivers, but only fair quantities were found in Babine River. A very satisfactory seeding of cohoes occurred in the Morice and Nakina rivers. The supply of pinks was disappointing. The chum seeding was very light. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 43 Lower Skeena Area Good supplies of sockeye were observed in William Creek, tributary to Lakelse Lake. This is the principal sockeye spawning stream. The seeding in the smaller tributaries was light. The seeding in the Oestahl River is reported as being good. A heavy supply was observed at Shawatlans. The spring supplies in the Ocstahl system are reported as being heavy, and the cohoes satisfactory. The pink seeding at Lakelse was heavy and good in the Ocstahl system. The chum seeding was only fair.

Lowe Inlet Area Nearly all streams received good supplies of spawning sockeye. Water conditions in the streams were very favourable to the ascent of the fish. The coho ,supply was normal. The pink seeding in the northern portion of the area was heavy and nearly all streams were well seeded, particularly the streams in Kitkatla Inlet and the upper portion of Grenville Channel. The supplies in the southern portion of the area, while not being as heavy as those in the north, were quite satisfactory. The chum seeding is reported as being light, with the exception of Union Pass where the seeding was heavy.

Butedale Area The sockeye seeding in the streams tributary to Gardner Canal and Tala- mosa Inlet was good. Conditions in the balance of the area were fair. The Coho supplies showed an impro-vement over those of the brood year, particularly in the Gardner Canal and Devastation Channel portions of the area. Pinks were found in satisfactory quantities, particularly in the Gardner Canal and Devastation Channel sections. On the whole the pink seeding was quite satisfactory. The chum seeding, apart from that .at Price Creek, was poor.

Bella Bella Area The sockeye escapement was fully equal to expectations und a distinct increase as compared with the brood year. There was a satisfactory seeding by cohoes. Pinks compared well with the brood year, with increases in some streams. The seeding at Koeye River was particularly heavy. The chum seeding was considerably in excess of that of the brood year in all the larger streams, particularly those in the Ellerslie area. During the season there was an ample supply of water in all streams for the ascent of salmon. The spawning conditions generally were satisfactory.

Bella Coola Area The sockeye seeding was fairly heavy, especially at Kimsquit Lake. There were also, very good supplies in the Bella Coola-Atnarko River system. Numerous runs were again observed. The seeding by spring salmon was very good, especially in the Atnarko River. The early coho supplies are reported as light, but there was a considerable improvement •during October and November, and the supply of this variety is reported as quite adequate. A medium supply of pinks was present on the spawning grounds, and an excellent spawning . of chums in all streams is reported, especially so in the streams tributary to -Dean Channel. 50160-44 44 DEPAR7'MENT OF FISHERIES Rivers Inlet Area The usual two inspections were made of this .area, the first between Septem- ber 4 and 8 and the second between October 16 and 25. The escapement of sockeye to the Owekano Lake system is reported as light. The spawning in some rivers was up to normal but others are reported as being below. The importance of the several sockeye spawning streams, tributary to Owekano Lake, is in the following order: Whannock River, Quap River, Shumahault River, Genesee River, Waukwash River, Asklum River, Indian River, Dallec River, Cheo River, Nookins River, und heryHatc Creek. The streams in which conditions were found normal are the Whannock, Quap, Genesee, and Dallec, three of these, fortunately, being of the most important. Conditions found in the Waukwash and Indian rivers at the head of the lake were most unsatisfactory. Viewed in comparison with the commercial catch the seeding could be classed as good, but the commercial catch was smaller than expected, in which condition weather was a factor. This year it is the large or five-year old sized sockeye which have failed to return in large numbers. It will be remembered that in 1943 it was the four-year fish which were scarce, the conclusion being that some unusual, unknown condition affected the-spawning of 1939. The coho supplies in the area were only fairly satisfactory. Pinks were light, und chums scarce. In the streams below Owekano Lake the coho supplies were fair, while the pink seeding is reported as good, although the runs of this variety are never large. The chum seeding at the Kildala and Chuckwalla rivers was reported as really good. This also applies to Whannock River. Due to heavy rains and the resultant flood conditions some damage may have been done in the Rivers Inlet area, although these conditions occurred previous to the major escapement of sockeye. Two representatives of the cannery interests accompanied the fishery officer on his inspections of the Rivers Inlet area.. Smiths Inlet Area There are only two sockeye salmon streams of any importance in this area—the Geluck and Delabah rivers, the first being much the more important. Two inspections were made, the first between September 10th and 12th, and the second between October 10th and 12th. It was expected that the sockeye returns would •be very poor in 1944 and consequently the commercial fishing boundary was moved but so as to provide a larger percentage of the runs to pass to the spawning grounds. As a result, the escapement is reported by the local, well experienced, fishery officer as a decided improvement over the five- year cycle year of 1939, for instance, although not entirely satisfactory. Flood conditions in this area may also have done some damage between the early and late runs. A heavy seeding by spring salmon is reported, •cohoes fair, pinks t,o the Nekite River good, and chums only fair in the Nekite, poor in the Southeast Arm, and good in the Takush River. Two representatives of the cannery interests accompanied the fishery officer on the inspections of Smiths Inlet area. Fraser River Watershed Prince George Area.--The sockeye supply on the spawning beds of the Nechaeo River system, while not showing the exceptionally large increase of the immediately preceding cycle year, was an improvement on that of the brood year. The increase to the Francois Lake watershed was approximately 40 per cent. The supply in the Stuart Lake watershed showed a considera,ble percentage of increase, although the total numbers in recent years have been small. Spawning conditions generally were quite favourable. The supplies of spring salmon were definitely disappointing. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 45 Quesnel Area.—The run of sockeye to the Chilco Lake district was late in arriving but when it did come, between late August and early September, it was very heavy, producing some 350,000 spawning fish, which was equal to the seeding of the brood year of 1940. Conditions in this area continue to be very encouraging. A few scarred sockeye were observed and a higher percentage of unspent females than in the past several years. In the Quesnel Lake system; including the Horsefly and Mitchell rivers, the sockeye seeding was practically nil, at Bowron River only about 35 per cent of that of the brood year. A higher percentage of unspawned females than usual was noticed in this district also. Bears destroyed approximatety 10 per cent of the salmon, both green and partly spent. The seeding by springs throughout the whole inspectorate was 5 only fair. Kamloops Area.—The sockeye seeding was disappointing, although tin large run was expected. This applies to all the main sockeye spawning areas such as Little River, Adams River, and Raft River systems. The supplies of springs were also disappointing. Indications of the coho seeding were more encouraging than those of the brood year, although the supply was not large. High water prevailed throughout the spawning season and as a consequence estimates were difficult. Pemberton Area.—From 300 to 400 sockeye were observed in the Anderson Lake system. A good seeding occurred in the Birkenhead River. Satisfactory supplies were also found in the main Lillooet River. Fair supplies of springs were observed in the Squamish River, Seton Lake, Bridge River, and Birken- head River systems. The coho Seeding was fair in the Squamish River and Birkenhead River systems. Few pink salmon were observed in the Squamish area. A fair seeding of chums occurred in the Squamish River. Chilliwack Area.—The return of sockeye to Cultus Lake totalled slightly over 14,000 salmon, compared, with 74,000 in the brood year. The usual small numbers were observed in the Chilliwack River. The seeding ,by springs was light, cohoes not up to expectations, and chums decidedly disappointing. Harrison Area.—Only a fair seeding of sockeye was seen at Silver Creek, tributary to Harrison Lake, but a very satisfactory return to Morris Creek, the main sockeye tributary. Only a fair seeding of springs and cohoes was observed. The chum supplies were definitely disappointing. Pitt Lake Area.—Sockeye salmon were present in quantities equalling those of the ,brood year. Only light supplies of springs, cohoes, and chums were observed. Lower Fraser Area.—Quite a satisfactmy seeding of coho occurred in the Nicomekl and Serpentine rivers. This was the "off" year for pinks in the Fraser system. North Vancouver Area.—The supplies of cohoes and chums were far .below expebtations. Alert Bay Area The sockeye seeding at the Nimpkish River was disappointing, particularly in view of the satisfactory supplies in 1940, the brood year. The seeding at Fulmore River, Keough River, and McKenzie and Quatsi rivers was only fair, with light runs to Kahweiken, Kleena-Kleene, Nahwitti, and Shushartie rivers. The spring supplies were found to be normal. The coho seeding in nearly all streams was satisfactory. The supply of pinks to the mainland streams is reported as the heaviest for the past ten. years and nearly all streams were well seeded. Most streams showed an improvement over the brood year of 46 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES 1942. In the streams along the Vancouver Island portion of the district the seeding was fair. The inspecting officer describes the seeding of the whole district generally as being fifty per cent greater than that of the brood year. Heavy supplies of chums were observed at Seymour, Salmon, and Bond rivers. Other streams throughout the district contained only medium or light supplies. The Nimpkish River seeding was disappointing in view of the heavy spawning of 1940. Qua thiaski Area At Hayden Bay and Phillips Arm, the principal sockeye spawning grounds in this area, the seeding is reported as only twenty-five per cent of that of the brood year at the farmer point but quite satisfactory at the latter. The spring seeding at Campbell, Salmon, and Phillips rivers was good. The coho escapement was quite satisfactory, particularly to the streams tributary to Bute Inlet. The pink seeding is reported as a failure all through the area, apart from Bear River and the streams tributary to Bute Inlet, where good supplies were observed. Chums were very scarce; the spawning by this variety was estimated to be only fifteen per cent of that of the cycle year.

Comox Area Natural spawning conditions throughout the fall from the standpoint of low water levels were poor over this whole district. The supply of springs to the Puntledge River was fairly satisfactory. The coho seeding in the streams between Shelter Point and Cape Lazo was very satisfactory, particularly at Oyster River. This was no doubt partly the result of the enforcement al longer closed periods. The supplies in the Courtenay River system were satisfactory. The seeding in the streams tributary to Bayne Sound and south to Englishman's River, including the Big and Little Qualicums, was decidedly poor. The pink seeding was light. A good percentage of the chum run pa.ssed safely to the spawning grounds, due to the less intensive fishing and the timely arrival of the fall rains. It is possible, however, that there may be some loss in spawn, due to the seeding taking place on gravel bars above normal water levels. In the spawning streams between Shelter Point and Nile Creek the seeding compared favourably with the light one of four years previously. The quantities found -at Big Qualicum River represented approximately 25 per cent of the heavy seeding of 1940 and at Little Qualicum only 33-1 per cent.

Pencler Harbour Area Only a light seeding of sockeye was observed in Saginaw Lake, notwithstanding the fact that commercial fishing was not intensive. At Tazoonie River some 5,000 sockeye were observed on the spawning grounds, compared with 400 in the brood year. An increased seeding by springs was noted. There was an adequate escapement of cohoes. The pink seeding in the Jervis and Toba Inlet systems is considered adequate, although considerably less than that of the brood year. The chum supply, while considered reasonably satisfactory, was not up to expectations. Nanaimo Area The coho supplies in the streams between Nanaimo and Arbutus Point, including Nanoose Bay, were quite satisfactory. The chum seeding is reported as being only 60 per cent of that of the brood year. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 47 Ladysmith Area No sockeye were observed in the Nanaimo River. There was an average seeding of springs and a satisfactory supply of cohoes. The spawning by chums was very disappointing, being reported as only about 50 per cent of that of the brood year. Cowichan .Area Springs were found in good average quantities on the spawning grounds. Cohoes were about 70 per cent of the brood year, and chums 75 per cent of 3 1940: The steelhead supplies are being well maintained.

Victoria Area A satisfactory seeding of coho was found in this area. The chum supplies in the Sooke River were unsatisfactory but a good seeding occurred in the Goldstream Creek. Alberni Area There was a fair seeding of sockeye in the Somass River, Great Central and Sproat Lake systems. Although fewer salmon were observed using the fishway at Stamp Falls this was an account of natural conditions being more 9 favourable; an unusual percentage of the run passed over the falls without the aid of the fishway. A satisfactory seeding was observed in the Anderson Lake system. The escapement to Hobarton Lake is reported as being very satisfactory, partly as a result, no doubt, of the enforcement of an increased closed period. The supplies of spring salmon to the Somass River, Stamp River, and Nahmint River systems are reported as being very good but the escapement to the Toquart, Santa, and Nitinat rivers was only fair. The coho seeding was exceptionally good in all streams frequented by this variety. The If chum supplies, on the other hand, were extremely disappointing and are 1, reported as a failure. No salmon of any species was observed at the Maggie River fish ladder. Clayoquot Area A larger proportion than usual of the run of sockeye escaped to the spaw- ing grounds of Kennedy Lake and provided a fairly satisfactory seeding, comparable with that of the brood year. The seeding in the Medgin River watershed compared favourably with that of the brood year. The supplies of spring salmon were excellent and compared favourably with the spawning of 1943, which had been the heaviest in four years. Coho supplies were also found to be excellent. The chum seeding was the poorest of the last four years.

Nootka Area ()t1.1 d A fair seeding of springs occurred at Gold and Burman rivers. The coho seeding was average. The chum supplies, however, are reported as being the poorest known except in the Tahsis River and Sow End River.

Kyuquot Area The spawning of springs was below average but the coho seeding was fairly satisfactory. The chum supply was reported as being very poor, and even less than the very light brood year. 48 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Quatsino Area There wa,s the usual small supply of sockeye on the spawning grounds but in this area these runs are of little value commercially. The seeding of springs was normal in Marble Creek which is the principal stream used by this species. The coho supply is reported as being above the average in the district, particularly at East Creek, Buck Creek, Marble Creek, Rupert River, Spruce River, and Mahatta River. The seeding of pinks, generally speaking, was light, although heavy at East Creek and Rupert River. The chum seeding was very disappointing. APPENDIX NO. 2 REPORT OF THE CHIEF SUPERVISOR OF FISHERIES, EASTERN DIVISION (COLONEL A. L. BARRY) FOR THE YEAR 1944 Figures contained in this report as to catches and values are approximate only. They are intended to give as complete an account of fisheries results in the division during the year as is possible at the time of writing when final revised figures are not in all cases available. \Vhile no great changes are anticipated, the figures must be read as subject to revision.*

Fish and shellfish landed in the division during 1944 amounted in quantity to approximately 547 million pounds, showing an increase of about 33 million pounds when compared with 1943. Values for the year reflected corresponding increases—a gain of, roughly, $2,000,000 in the value to the fishermen and over $3,000,000 in the marketed value.

THE COD FISHERY Cod landings increased by approximately twenty-eight and one-half million pounds. A large increase occurred in Nova Scotia landings, while those of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island decreased. The total landed value for the division increa.sed by $1,000,000 and the marketed value by about $2,000,000.

THE LOBSTER FISHERY The catch- of lobsters increased by over two and one-half million pounds, resulting in an increase of over $1,000,000 in the landed and marketed values. Increase in catch was general and occurred in all three of the Maritime provinces. The total catch for the division amounted to approximately 31 million pounds.

THE SARDINE FISHERY The sardine fishery, which is confined to the Bay of Fundy section, shows an increase of approximately three million pounds in catch and an increase of over $70,000 in value to the fishermen.

THE HADDOCK FISHERY A decrease of over 4,000,000 pounds occurred in catch of haddock. The Nova Scotia catch accounts for practically the whole of the decrease although a further slight decrease occurred in Prince Edward Island and an increase occurred in the New Brunswick catch. The total decrease in landed value amounted to roughly $130,000 while the total marketed value decreased by approximately $400,000.

*Revised statistics for the year will be given in Fisheries Statistics of Canada, 1944. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 49

OTHER FISHERIES The other principal varieties taken during the year were pollock, halibut, herring, clams, oysters and scallops, which showed increases over the previous year, and hake, swordfish and mackerel, which "showed ,decreases.

Nova Scotia The catch in Nova Scotia reached a record total of over 340 million pounds. The largest single increase was in the catch of cod, where the gain amounted to about 30 million pounds. Other line fish, with the exception of haddock, also showed increases, as did lobsters and herring. The total catch for the Cape Breton Island section of the province increased by approximately one-half million pounds while an increase of over. eight million pounds was noted in the eastern mainland section and an increase of over 31 million pounds in the western section. The total landed value of all fish and shellfish taken by provincial fishermen during the year was nearly $15,000,000, while the total marketed value rose to approximately $24,000,000. This meant an increase of roughly $2,000,000 in both landed and marketed, values when cornpa.red with the previous year. The following table gives a statement of the total catch, the landed and the marketed values for the province, as well as similar information concerning the principal varieties: 1944 Total quantity of all fish landed 344,700,800 pounds Total landed value 14,841,656 Total marketed value S 24,008,759

New Brunswick Total landings in New Brunswick, including those from inland waters, decreased by about five million pounds when compared with 1943. However, the landed value .increased ,by over $190,000 and the value of the fish marketed increased by over $1,000,000. The two most important fisheries in the province, lobsters and sardines, increased considerably in both volume and value. Increases will also be noted in the catches of smelts and oysters. The commercial catch of the inland district, which is included in the total New Brunswick figures, amounted to nearly 840,000 pounds, with a landed value of approximately $38,000 and a marketed value of about $42,000.

50 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES The following table shows the total catch, landed and marketed values of all fish and shellfish taken in New Brunswick, as well as similar information concerning the principal varieties: 1944 Total quantity of all fish landed 176,309,600 pounds Total landed value S 5,385,085 Total marketed value S 12,655,973

Prince Edward Island Fishing activities in Prince Edward Island during the year did not prove to be as satisfactory as in the preceding year, a scarcity of cod and hake and unfavourable weather conditions accounting for a decrease of over five million pounds in the total quantity of fish and shellfish landed. The value of the catch at the point of landing decreased by approximately $70,000 while the marketed value decreased iby over $260.000. Increases in catches and values will be noted in the case of lobsters, mackerel, smelts and oysters. The table below gives the total catch, landed and marketed values of all fish taken in Prince Edward Island, as well as similar information concerning the principal varieties: 1944 Total quantity of all fish landed 27,461,700 pounds Total landed value S 1,797,308 Total marketed value S 2,593,956

SPORT FISHING Nova Scotia In Cape Breton salmon angling was a little better than in 1943. On the Margaree River there were more anglers than in the previous year and all were well satisfied with the catches taken. Trout fishing in Cape Breton

■.■ REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 51 was considerably better than last year. In the eastern mainland angling, particulaîly for salmon, was not as successful as in 1943. This was due to the lack of rainfall from July onward to the early part of September. In the western mainland, much the same conditions prevailed and here again catches were below those of the previous year.

New Brunswick In New Brunswick salmon angling was not quite as good as last year, although several of the rivers produced larger catches. Water conditions were not as favourable as during the previous season and lack of rainfall was very noticeable. Conditions improved at the end of the season and it is felt that a betterment in fishing will be noticed next year.

- Prince Edward Island Generally speaking, angling in Prince Edward Island was much better ' in 1944 than it had been for several seasons. Good catches of trout were taken in Western Prince county, Southern Queens county and in Kings county. Catches in Eastern Prince and Northern Queens were only fair.

STATEMENT OF LOBSTER PACK AND THE INSPECTION OF CANNERIES DURING 1944 Packing Licences During the year 1944 licences to can lobsters and tomalley were issued covering 149 canneries. Of this number 137 of the plants were actually operated, as compared with 127 in 1943, 122 in 1942 and 123 in 1941. Comparative figures by provinces show the following distribution:—

CANNERY INSPECTION During 1944 careful attention was given to the inspection of canneries and 796 inspections were conducted by 28 inspecting officers, the average number of inspections being 5.8 per cannery. I FISH INSPECTION The inspectional staff had one of the busiest seasons since the introduction of the Fish Inspection Act. Despite the greatly increased duties required of them, the officers carried on in a most satisfactory manner and, although the catch was practically doubled in some districts, very little trouble was experienced in providing the necessary inspection service. The quality of the pickled and salted fish was generally satisfactory and very few re-inspections were requested by dealers and exporters. The grading of oysters and smelts was carried out as usual and the officers engaged in this work report conditions steadily improving. Approximately 14,000,000 pounds of fresh frozen fish were inspected before shipment overseas. This inspection was carried out largely by a staff of seasonal inspectors, specially trained for the work. In addition to their inspectional duties, officers were required to secure samples throughout the canning season of different packs and forward them to the Fish Inspection Laboratory for examination. Faulty technique in canning was called to the attention of packers and they were given many useful suggestions for impraving the quality of their goods. The voluntary grading of canned fish was carried out during the year and lame quantities of lobsters, chicken haddie and mackerel fillets were submitted for grading. In addition, a large quantity of canned fish, for which no grading standards had been established, was submitted for inspection before shipment overseas.

YLLEGAL FISHING During the year, illegal fishing was at a minimum although several minor outbreaks of illegal lobster fishing occurred. Close co-operation between inspectors, patrol boat men and guardians was maintained and this discouraged any concentrated effort on the part of the poachers to engage in illegal fishing to any great extent.

FISHERIES PATROL SERVICE Generally speaking, the patrol services throughout the division gave effective protection to the fisheries. The boats were primarily engaged in the protection of the lobster fishery, with attention also being given to the salmon, oyster, smelt und other fisheries as required. 54 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Nova Scotia In the •Cape Breton Island section the usual patrol was carried out in lobster fishing district 6A with satisfactory results. Along the eastern mainland patrol was carried out by the department-owned boat A. Halkett, assisted by the patrol boat No. 666. In the western section patrol was carried out by the department-owned boats Capelin and Gilbert, assisted by a chartered boat in the Yarmouth area.

New Brunswick In the Bay of Fundy section, the department's boats Thresher and Gannet Rock were again employed in patrol work. In the Northumberland Strait section, a fleet of four chartered boats was engaged. They were on duty from the last week of April until the end of November.

Prince Edward Island In Prince Edward Island six boats were engaged. One of these was the department-ovvned Capitol and the others were chartered for duties in the several sections of the island.

EDUCATIONAL WORK Instruction in fish curing was necessarily curtailed during the year since, owing to the heavy amount of inspection work to be done, the inspectors formerly employed on educational instruction only were used on inspection of salt fish. Instruction was intensified at canning plants, the instruction being given by Dr. Hess, . of the Atlantic Fish Inspection Laboratory, and his assistant, Mr. R. E. S. Homans. The usual instruction in organization and other forms of adult education to enable co-operative groups to carry on their activities was carried on throughout the year by the educational staff of St. Francis Xavier University, under arrangements made by the department and at departmental expense, and there are now in the division quite a number of good leaders in the various centres. The education is reflected in the annual statements of co-operative groups, which are drawn up in a comprehensive manner comparable to those of any well organized business, and most groups are availing themselves of the audit service of the Maritime Co-operative Services. Proper accounting is a necessary essential of satisfactory operation.

.CONCLUSION Probably never • efore has the personnel of the division been called upon to undertake so many duties and in this I would refer particularly to the supervisors and inspectors cr 2 whose work has increased tremendously on account of inspection of fish for the war effort. No increase in staff was men were not available. With all this volume of work possible since trained some mistakes were made, it is true, but it is believed that in no case was there wilful neglect and the chief supervisor is «pleased to note the confidence in our inspection service which is being built Up throughout the industry,

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 55

APPENDIX NO. 3 ANNUAL REPORT ON FISH CULTURE

By J. A. RODD, Director of Fish Culture Fish cultural operations in 1944 were carried on by the Department of Fisheries in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island where the fisheries are entirely, or to a large extent, under federal administration. Thir- teen main hatcheries, five rearing stations, six salmon retaining ponds and several egg collecting camps were operated with a total output from these establishments of 18,501,600, over 75 per cent of which were distributed in the fingerling and older stages. The output by species, hatcheries and provinces was:—

NUTRITIONAL EXPEMMENTS Nutritional experiments were continued as usual with fingerlings and enlarged to take in greater numbers of parent speckled trout. Rations that proved least efficient last year were discarded and several new ones added. In the experiments with fingerlings 15 different ingredients \vere used in -various compositions and 78 tests made during the year. With parent stock 13 different ingredients were used and 25 tests made. Some of the rations used gave pronaising results at some hatcheries from the standpoint of survival, growth and cost of ration to produce a pound of fish. Most of the experimental feeding was with speckled trout.

CHARLOr1.1 COUNTY LAKES EXPERIMENT In continuation of the Charlotte County Lakes experiment, a co-operative effort between the Fish Cultural Branch and the Atlantic Biological Station of the Fisheries Research Board, the closures were removed , and creel censuses were taken in Crecy, St. Patrick, Gibson and Welch lakes; and St. Patrick and Crecy lakes were stocked respectively with 1,060 and 675 mark.ed speckled trout yearlings. ' The creel census returns of 1944 again indicated poor productivity in the lakes with yields per acre of 1.93 pounds in Crecy lake and its outlet Pond, 1.39 pounds in Crecy lake only, and kss than a pound per acre in St. Patrick, Gibson, and Welch lakes. The extremely low production per acre in all eight lakes, as shown ,by the following summary, confirms the need. of determining means to improve the fertility or productive capacity for trout in these and other lakes of similar type in the Maritime Provinces.

SELECTIVE BREEDING Sélective breeding of speckled trout was continued to develop such characteristics as increased vitality, high yield, rapid growth, early spawning, coloura- tion and general appearance. Outstanding pairs at the different- hatcheries are mated and their progeny segregated. The progeny of the pairs in which survival is highest is retained for brood stock and periodically selected so long as they are profitable egg producers. The eggs of some of the pairs in which survival is highest at the eyed, egg stage are exchanged by the several hatcheries. The average yield of the selected pairs and of the general groups are indicated in the reports of the respective hatcheries. The range of small mouthed black bass in the Maritime Provinces was further extended by the transfers of adults from Lake Utopia, Charlotte County, N.B., to Micmac Lake, Halifax County, N.S., and to Shaw Lake, Saint John County, N.B. Experimental distributions of zainbow trout from four different sources and marked in different ways were made in tributaries of Sherbrooke Lake, N.S., and Big Salmon River, N.B. Smelt eggs collected in Lake Utopia, N.B. were supplied for distribution in Manito Lake, Saskatchewan. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 59 During the year 4,573 Atlantic salmon were impounded. The average yield of eggs per female was 7,994 and for the individual ponds were: Morell 8,331, New Mills 7,461, Miramichi 6,730, River Philip 9,904, Sackville 5,927 and Margaree 9,848. The Canadian National Railways, the Canadian Pacific 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. The extent of this co-operation is indicated in the following summary:

Operations generally at each establishment are referred to in the accompanying reports of supervisors and superintendents. Owing to conditions brought about by the war and a limited appropriation, no major new construction was undertaken and repairs and replacements were confined to essentials. Collections, transfers and distributions are given to the nearest hundred in the summaries of operations .at the respective establishments.

Nomenclature and Computation Methods Standard • Thé Attorney General's Department, Victoria, B.C., the Department of Lands and Mines, Edmonton, Alta. the DepartMent of Natural Resources, Regina, Sask., the Department of Mines and Natural Resources, Winnipeg, Man., the Department of Game and Fisheries, Toronto, Ont., the Department of Game and Fisheries, Qu'ebec, Que., the Department of Mines and Resources (Federal) Ottawa, and the Department of Fisheries (Federal) Ottawa, which includes all Provincial and Dominion Government Departments now engaged in Fish Cultural operations, have agreed to and adopted the following nomenclature and computation methods for the product of their hatcheries:

Nomenclature

1. Egg: The general term "egg" covers the period from Spawning or stripping until the egg is hatched. Sub-Divisions- Green Eggs- Eggs from the time they are spawned or stripped until they have become firm and have ceased to absorb moisture. Water hardened eggs-- Eggs that are firm and have ceased to absorb moisture. Eyed eggs- Eggs in which the eyes or the dark eye-spots are clearly visible.

II 60 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES 2. Fry: Fish from the time they are hatched until the yolk sac is completely absorbed. 3. Advanced Fry: Fish for a period of two weeks following the complete absorption of the yolk sac. 4. Fingerlings: Fish from two weeks after complete absorption of the yolk sac until they are one year old from date of hatch. Sub-divisions of fish during their first year, when they are classified as fingerlings, is based on age from the date on which they are hatched. While age has been adopted as the primary basis for the sub-division of fingerlings, each Department in addition to age is free to give the size, length or weight of its hatchery product or to describe it in any other way. 5. Yearlings: Fish from one to two years old from date of hatch. 6. Pish older than yearlings are indicated according to age in years from the date of hatch. Computation Methods • 1. Eggs: Volumetric measurement in water based on three or more sample counts of the contents of a unit measure. 2. Fry: Computation by estimate checked against the egg measurement with egg losses and visible fry losses deducted. 3. Advanced Fry: In the early stages computation by estimate checked against egg measurement with egg losses and visible fry losses deducted. In the later stages similar computation checked by sample counts. 4. Fing erlings: In the early and medium stages computation by weighing in water based on sample counts. In the later stages with larger fish, computation by -weighing in water based on sample counts , if the numbers are too large to count, otherwise by actual count. 5. Yearlings and Older Fish: By count.

MARITIME PROVINCES Senior District Supervisor of Fish Culture, James Catt In spite of a necessarily limited appropriation and difficulties in obtaining adequate labour and supplies, expansion of the Fish Culture Service was not entirely suspended. Perhaps the most important innovation of the year was the conference of hatchery superintendents at Saint John to discuss their respective problems. Staff operations included hatchery inspections, examinations of lakes and streams, collection of land-locked salmon, speckled trout and smelt eggs, collection and distribution of small mouthed black bass, selection of waters for REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 61 experimental distributions of four strains of rainbow trout, and preliminary surveys of certain salmon and trout streams with a view to future improvement. To obtain a clearer picture of the inland waters certain areas were traversed with Doctor A. W. H. Needler, Director of the Atlantic Biological Station, St. Andrews. Doctor M. W. Smith of the same station in co-operation with Supervisor F. A. Tingley selected three lakes in New Brunswick and four in Nova Scotia for further tests in economie stocking. At the request of Doctor Needier samples of red and of white fleshed speckled trout were forvvarded to Doctor W. S. Hoar, University of N.B., for comparative determination of their riboflavin values. He reported that: "There was very little difference in the Vitamin B2 content of the two types of muscle. The red flesh contained 2.5 micrograms of riboflavin per gram of dry tissue, while the white flesh contained 3-2 micrograms. This is not so very different, and is of the same general order as values obtained for salmon." The samples, obtained by Supervisor A. P. Hills, included white fleshed wild stock, white fleshed hatchery stock fed artificial diets, and red fleshed stock of hatchery origin liberated in Howe Lake, Saint John, in 1943. In the latter part of April an inspection of the spawning grounds of Var. "A" smelts, the so-called "lath edgings," of Lake Utopia indicated the run to have been heavier than usual. Further investigation determined the run of Var. "C" smelt to have been relatively small but Var. "B" spawned -in greater numbers than observed heretofore. Some of the last named remained on the spawning grounds until early June--considerably later than is customary. As smelt eggs were required for planting in Manito Lake, Saskatchewan, under the direction of Doctor D. S. Rawson, a brief survey of the Gaspereau River, Hants Co., N.S., was made but the spawning grounds could not be located in the limited time ,available before the ova became too far advanced for safe shipment; however, on June 3 apprœdmately 2 quarts of eyed eggs, Var. "B" Lake Utopia were obtained and forwarded to Saskatchewan. One quart of eyed eggs of the same variety was again laid down in the main spring feeder 'affluent to Whea.ton (Bocabec) Lake, Charlotte Co., N.B. The installation and operation of a trap at the mouth of Trout brook, Lake Utopia, from early May to late November produced interesting and valuable results. It served a fourfold purpose—the capture for distribution of small mouthed black bass ascending the brook; the protection from these fish of young trout descending the brook which drains the watershed con- stituting the main trout nursery for Lake Utopia; the capture of mature speckled trout in the fall for the collection of their ova; and the collection of data in conn.ection with the species of fish running the brook and the periods of their migration. The trap was so set as to permit the descent of small trout during the earlier part of the year at the same time preventing the ascent of large fish. At the end of the ba-es spawning season the intake was closed and not again opened until late September—although following the hurricane of Sep- tember 15 it was rendered inefficient for several days. During the spring and fall operations small mouthed black bass were taken and transferred to Micmac Lake near Dartmouth, N.S., and to Shaw Lake watershed near Saint John, N.B. The trap also caught a large number of coarse fish including suckers, cyprinids, yellow perch, sun fish, elle, Var. "A" smelts and ling. In regard to the last named species two specimens were taken in the spring and more than 20 in the fall, a much greater number than had been trapped in Trout brook in any one season in the last two decades. Many of the fall specimens were gravid and some contained large speckled trout in their stomach. The ling may have caught these after entering the trap. In late October and early November an increasing number of trout were spent before

62 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES their capture; their partly mended condition was indicative of an undisco-vered spawning ground in the lake. In the Saint John area it is observed that the largest catch of landloAed salmon on record was made in Chaincook Lake watershed in the late spring and early summer. The vast majority of .these were marked and definitely a hatchery product. Following the connection of Limeburner to upper Chamcook Lake by means of a dugway or ditch the range of Chamcook salmon has expanded to include the Limeburner Lake watershed in which the capture of the species was for the first time recorded this season. Brown trout continue in abundance in Loch Lomond, Terreo Lake, and other parts of the Mispek watershed as well as in Little River. Distributions of landlocked salmon in Grand Lake, N.S., has resulted in an increased catch by anglers. The weight of these fish taken in 1944 was double that of the preceding year. Reliable information in-dicates that a heavy run. of Atlantic salmon smolt in 1943 and a smaller run in 1944 descended through Dick's Lake, on the Falls brook branch of Big Salmon River, Saint John and Kings Counties, N.B. These fish were the result of stocking the headwaters of Falls brook. A waterfall below Dick's Lake presents, a complete barrier to the ascent of salmon, thus definitely fixing the smolt taken above it as the result of hatchery stocking. The speckled trout fingerlings liberated in Hove Lake, Saint John County, in 1943 produced unusually fine yearlings. In June they had reached an average weight of 1 pound for 111 inches of length. The experimental introduction of four varieties of rainbow trout, including fall spawners and Kamloops, into unscreened and open waters, constitutes a very interestin.g test. The areas selected are covered by the headwaters of the north branch of the Lahave River, N.S., and by the Main, Reardon, and Falls brook tributaries of the Big Salmon River, NB. Each of three of these groups was marked by clipping a different fin. The fourth group was left unmarked; thus recaptures should indicate the stock best adapted to the water. Maritime distributions were smaller than usual. This was the result of the poor quality of trout ova laid down in 1943. The loss in eggs followed a heavy loss in brood stocks which appears to have been caused by the unexpected toxicity of frozen sardines held too long in cold storag.e. The quality of the parent stock and the percentage of egg fertility is much higher than it was at the same time last year. . Total distributions for the year were approximately as follows: Fry and Yearlings and Fingerlings Older Fisk Speckled trout 4,016.200 98,000 Atlantic salmon • 13,863.800 84,150 Sebago or land-locked salmon 3,700 19,090 Rainbow trout 394.800 3 Kamloops trout 15.500 — Brown trout 6,460 — Small mouthed black bass (mature wild fish) 82 Ova collections were obtained from Atlantic and landlocked (sebago) salmon, speckled trout, rainbow trout, and smelt. Importations include rainbow, Kamloops and brown trout eggs. Four thousand five hundred and seventy-three wild parent Atlantic salmon held at the Margaree, Miramichi, New Mills, Morell, River Philip and Sackville ponds yielded approximately 23,000,000 green eggs. Two hundred and sixty-three wild sebago salmon from the watersheds of Grand Lake, N.S., and Chamcook Lakes, N.B., yielded 98,000 eggs. Nearly 538,000 speckled trout eggs were obtained from wild' fish captured in Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton, N.S., Charlotte Co., and Burnt Hill brook near Florenceville, N.B. Hatchery stocks produced approximately 29,000,000 speckled trout eggs, 87,500 landlocked (sebago) salmon eggs and 6,500 Atlantic salmon eggs. This REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 63 last group obtained from six females, four years old, held at Saint John hatchery is the first instance of the species being raised to maturity and reproducing at any, Maritime hatchery; possibly it is without parallel anywhere. . - A careful study of their diet and conditions under which -these fish were held may be of importance in obtaining a higher percentage of fertility in landlocked strains reared in artificial ponds. As the opportunity occurred, some meetings of the branches of the Provin- cial Fish and Game Protective Associations, including those held at Saint John, Springhill, and Truro, were ,attended. Generally speaking, the co-operation of these branch associations took a very pra,ctical form in assisting in distributions and surveys and supplying needed information. Such assistance is much appreciated. Officers of those Provincial Departments administering the several regulations covering fish and game were kind enough to offer their services where needed and possible. This was particularly so in the Charlotte and Saint John County areas of New Brunswick. Co-operation between the Administrative and Fish Cultural Officers of this Division was excellent in spite of the increasing. duties of .the former branch. An increased degree in the exchange of ideas and information between the Directors and staffs of the Fisheries Research Board's Stations at Halifax und St. Andrews and the Fish Cultural Staff is noted with satisfaction, and has led to joint execution of certain plans and the formulation of others requiring future co-operative effort. •

District Supervisor of Fish Culture, F. A. Tingley Early in May a trap was set in the mouth of Trout brook, Lake Utopia, to capture small mouthed black bass, and between May 11 and June 6 it took 66. Of these 61 were transferred on the last mentioned date and liberated in good condition in Micmac Lake, one of the Dartmouth waters, Halifax County, N.S. The capture and transfer of this species from Lake Utopia, serves a dual purpose, i.e., protection of the yearling speckled trout that descend Trout brook in the spring, and provision of a nucleus of a population of game fish where none such existed in waters unsuited for trout. Twe,nty-one bass subsequently captured at, the same location were transferred to Shaw Lake, Saint John County, N.B. In July and August, in collaboration with Doctor M. W. Smith, of the Atlantic Biological Station, selection of the following seven lakes for a trout stocking test was made:—in New Brunswick, Loch Lomond and Black near Campbellton, Restigouche County, and Mechanic's or Pollett, Kings County; in Nova Scotia, Sutherland, Cumberland County, Copper, Antigonish County, Grant, Pictou County and O'Law, Inverness County. The proposed tests in these lakes are designed to determine (1) the approximate natural production of the waters by comparison of the numbers of native trout captured against the return from known numbers of marked hatchery stock, (2) the comparative efficiency of stocking with hatchery trout of three size groups and (3) correlation of results obtained from stockincr with the characteristics of the different waters involved. Distribution of the first two sized groups has been made in all except Pollett Lake. Assistance was given Supervisor Catt in August in •an examination of Point Wolf, Little Salmon and Big Salmon Rivers for selection of a stream in which to make experimental distributions of rainbow trout. The Big Salmon was selected and rainbow distributed. On August 14 the trap net was reset in the mouth of Trout Brook, Lake Utopia, with a view to obtaining eggs from early spawning speckled trout. Abnormal water conditions damaged the trap temporarily and allowed the early run to ascend to the spawning grounds, but a collection of 119,900 eggs was obtained from the later running trout. 64 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Assistance was also given with the sebago salmon egg collection at Cham- cook and Gibson Lakes. In addition ta the usual set-up ,art Chamcook and the trap established ,at the .outlet of Gibson Lake, a picket trap was built in Gibson brook about midway between Gibson and Upper Chamcook Lake„s. Two factors that may have reduced the numbers of spawning fish were (1) an exceptionally .heavy catch of sebago salmon in Chamcook Lake during the angling season und (2) escapement of salmon to Limeburner Lake through a channel cut into Upper Chamcook Lake in 1942. The following establishments were inspected:—Antigonish, Margaree, Lindloff, Bedford, Cobequid, Grand Lake, Yarmouth, Middleton, Mersey, Kejimkujik and Coldbrook—two of them twice. Conferences called by the fishery supervisors were attended at Saint John, May 6, St. Stephen, May 19, Kentville, December 14, and the conference of hatchery superintendents at Saint John, May 16 and 17.

District Supervisor of Fish Culture, A. P. Hills During the year the Coldbrook, Middleton Nictaux, Stevens, Kejimkujik, Mersey, Yarmouth, Florenceville, Grand Falls,' Charlo, Miramichi, Kelly's, Cardigan, New Mills, Mardi, Margaree, Lindloff, Antigonish and Cobequid establishments—six of them twice--the Margaree salmon retaining pond, Burpee and Tweedie Meadow brooks, were inspected. Stripping operations were partially observed at Antigonish, River Philip and Margaree plants. The annual meeting of the New Brunswick Guides Association at Fredericton March 29, Fish Cultural Officers' conference at Saint John, May 16 and 17, 'Fishery Officers' conference at St. Stephen, May 19, a meeting of the local Fish and Game Committee at Middleton, August 28, and of the Springhill Branch of the Nova Scotia Fish and Game Protective Association, November 19, were attended. In April I accompanied the Civil Service representative who held oral examinations for hatchery assistants in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In May I assisted the Senior District Supeivisor of Fish Culture in examining Annapolis and Nictaux Rivers, Evans brook, Payson's Meadow, Klondyke and Sullivan flowages in connection with stream improvement proposals. A further examination of Annapolis and Round Hill Rivers was made in August. Other waters examined, some superficially, were: Howe, Kelly, and Dark Lakes, New Brunswick; Blooming Point pond, Prince Edward Island; and FIollahan Lake, Salmon Rivet (Truro), Parrsboro Aboiteau, Black and Dry Lakes and tributaries of Sherbrooke Lake, Nova Scotia. I also assisted in the collection and transfer of small mouthed black bass from Lake Utopia to the Dartmouth and Shaw Lake watersheds and with collection and shipment of smelt eggs to Saskatchewan. Weirs for measuring the flow of water were constructed at Springdale, Calaming° and Teakle's brooks and periodic fnspections made of them. The marking and diStribution of four different strains of rainbow trout in streams tributary to Sherbrooke Lake, Nova Scotia, was partially supervised and some assistance given in connection with the collection of speckled trout eggs from wild stock at Lake Utopia, New Brunswick.

ANTIGONISH HATCHERY W. D. Turnbull, Superintendent The hatchery ponds produced 10,944,600 speckled trout eggs which were all laid down in Antigonish hatchery. This collection was supplemented by receipt of 1,001,000 Atlantic salmon eggs from Cobequid hatchery March 25 and 5,000 speckled trout eggs (selected stock) from Margaree February 14. In October REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 65 35,000 speckled trout No. 4 fingerlings were sent to Grand Lake rearing station. Distributions for the year were 897,700 Atlantic sahnon and 1,875,000 speckled trout of which 38,772 trout were marked by fin clipping. In selective breeding 30 pairs of three year old trout averaged 4,040 eggs per female as against 2,662 in the general group of the same age; likewise 17 pairs of 2 year selects averaged 3,206 per female as against 1,945 in the general group. A new pla-nk walk was laid along the longitudinal ponds and the roof of the main hatchery building was repaired and tarred.

BEDFORD HATCHERY AND SACKVILLE RIVER SALMON-RETAINING POND George Heatley, Superintendent On February 18 ten thousand brown trout eggs were received from Norman,- dale hatchery, Ontario, and in October and November 592,700 Atlantic salmon eggs from Sackville pond and 1,040,200, same species, from River Philip pond. Outgoing shipments of Atlantic salmon were: 300,000 eggs to Yarmouth March 20, 308,000 fry to Mersey in May and June and 539,000 to Grand Lake from May to September. Distributions direct from Bedford were 88,200 Atlantic salmon, 3,000 speckled and 6,460 brown trout. A cribwork 95 feet long was built along the river .bank to protect the hatchery grounds from freshet conditions and improve their appearance. Thirty-two thousand salmon eggs are being held at the disposal of Doctor Hayes, Dalhousie University. Transfers and distributions to and from Grand Lake rearing station, distributions from Coldbrook ponds and transfer of black bass from Lake Utopia to Lake Micmac were made by the Bedford hatchery staff. A convenient device for weighing fish for transfer or distribution was developed and the inside of the hatchery was cleaned and painted. A general increase in the catch of both salmon and trout was reported in this district. At the Sackville River pond between October 9 and 25 two hundred and nine' Atlantic salmon averaging 8.5 pounds in weight were taken, of which 100 females were stripped, October 31 to November 9, yielding 592,700 eggs. Due I to the unusually dry season and low water, a considerable number of fish that 1 ,1 were in evidence in Bedford Basin evidently migrated elsewhere instead of ascending the Sackville River.

COBEQUID HATCHERY AND RIVER PHILIP SALMON-RETAINING POND P. B. Stratton, Superintendent In February and March speckled trout eggs were received-269,500 from Lindloff and 165,000 from Margaree, including 5,000 from selected stock; in November 4,339,700 Atlantic salmon eggs were obtained from River Philip pond. Outgoing shipments of Atlantic salmon eggs in March • and April were 1,001,000 to Antigonish, 400,400 to Middleton and 76,800 to Saint John hatchery. Dis- tributions for the season were 15,750 Atlantic salmon an-d 75,900 speckled trout. Gravel and debris that had accumulated in the water supply pond and in the river channel ubove an-d below the pond were removed. All pipe lines, tanks, troughs and movable equipment were disinfected with strong solutions of Lo- Bax and the water supply and rearing ponds with copper sulphate. A new chimney was built in the workshop, new retort tanks installed in the cold storage and a concrete walk made at. the dwelling. Repairs were made to the chimneys of the hatchery and the dwelling, the driveway at the dam veidened three feet and necessary minor repairs were made. The clay lining of five of the circular ponds was removed and replaced with gravel. Assistance was , given the Fisheries Research Board- in the experimental stocking of Pollett River, Petitcodiac. The hatchery interior, the »exterior of the dwelling and wood shed 50160-5 66 DEPARTMENT OP FISHERIES were painted and the grounds improved generally. Checking the condition of the fish during transit was facilitated by painting white the inside bottoms of o the distributing barrels. b The main dam at the River Philip salmon retaining pond, which had been h damaged considerably by ice and freshets, was repaired during the low water period of the summer. The caretaker's quarters and spawning shed were painted. One thousand three hundred and seventy-six salmon averaging 16-75 pounds were taken from October 10 to November 18. From 720 females stripped, Novem.ber 8 to 22, 7,131,000 eggs were secured and laid down as follows: Cobequid 4,339,700, Bedford 1,040,200, Doctor Hayes, Dalhousie University, in care of Bedford, 4,500, Middleton 1,000,400 and Yarmouth hatchery 746,200. During October the run of salmon was much below the average but improved TE in the early part of November. In the run that reached the dam, females and males were in the proportion of about 3-5 to 1. A 21-pound female salmon bearing tag K2125 was caught in the Wallace si- River, near Pugwash, on May 24, 1943. This salmon was tagged and liberated tr below the River Philip pond on November 10, 1940, when it weighed 121- pounds d( after it was stripped, and was 36 inches long.

• COLDBROOK REARING PONDS E. Barrett, Superintendent After opening on May 2, the usual work of regravelling, disinfecting the ponds and connecting the water supply was carried on in preparation for receipt ai from Middleton of 157,200 rainbow trout, May 18 to July 4, and 100,000 fer Atlantic salmon May 31 and June 1. With the assistance of the staffs and to trucks from Bedford and Middleton hatcheries g1,200 Atlantic salmon and th 146,800 rainbow trout were distributed. Sixty-five thousand one hundred and h fifty-one of the latter were marked by removal of the adipose and one sidt 2 fin before being planted in tributaries of Sherbrooke Lake. The painting of O the outside of all buildings was completed, a new board walk laid from the front of the dwelling to the lo-vver end of the lawn, one new foot trough built and installed for the outside rearing troughs and a trough built for use while marking fish. Trout fishing in the district is reported to have definitely improved during the last -five years. 1\ilembers of the Kings County Fish and Game Association and Fishery Officers rendered their usual -valuable assistance.

GRAND LAKE REARING PONDS W. H. Cameron, Superintendent Bedford hatchery from May to September supplied 539,000 Atlantic salmon and Antigonish in October 35,000 speckled trout. Collecting operations at Rawdon River and Waverley Run in October and November resulted in a catch of 80 sebaga salmon, averaging 2 pounds in weight, 46 of which were females yielding 58,100 eggs. Of the 80 caught in the traps 38 or 47-5 per cent bore the Grand Lake pond mark.- In addition, 58 marked sebagos were taken by anglers in Grand Lake, 38 in Lake William and 2 in Shubenacadie River. At the hatchery ponds 209 sebago females in. November produced 87,600 eggs. Distributions for the season were 39,800 speckled trout, 5,316 sebago salmon which were marked by removal of the adipose and right ventral fins, and 404,200 Atlantic salmon, 4,769 of which were marked by clipping the adipose and left ventral fins. A small percentage hatch was obtained again from eggs of- sebago salmon pond stock and as in the two previous years the resultant fry made better growth than the progeny of the wild stock. The REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 67 circular and long ponds were repaired, part of the interior and all the exterior of the dwelling and icehouse were painted or stained. A new shelter of dressed lumber was built over the hatching trough and stained. The road from the highway to the ponds was gravelled and the bridge renewed.

KEJIMKUJIK REARING PONDS T. K. Lydon, Superin tendent In May and June 15,600 speckled trout fingerlings were supplied by Yar- mouth 'hatchery and 295,000 Atlantic salmon by Middleton. From these 1,424 trout and 202,900 salmon were distributed, 1,094 of the trout being marked by removal of the adipose and left pectoral fins. Six large and four small troughs were used in further tests of water flowage to control white spot disease, a new bridge built acros.s the brook leading to the circular ponds, the water supply dam repaired and deadwood above it removed, four experimental rearing troughs built, site for troughs grraded and levelled, some painting and varnishing done, most of the road graded and repaired and grounds improved gen.erally. Trout fishing is reported holding up well in the district.

LINDLOFF HATCHERY TV. T. Owens, Superintendent Speckled trout egg collections from the hatchery ponds amounted to 889,700 and from McRae Lake 122,100. Freshet conditions at the latter place inter- fered with collections; 'disease and failure of transferred McR,ae Lake fernales to produce, all militated against a larger collection from the ponds. During the fall of 1943 female speckled trout from McRae Lake were transferred to the hatchery ponds and fed for a year to ascertain -results. Only approximately 20 per cent of these produced eggs in 1944. The spawning period was from October 17 to November 10 as compared to last year's period, for the same zroup from October 6 to 18. The eggs from these fish are pale in eolour of poor quality and low fertility, indicating that proper food is an important factor in the production of better quality eggs... However, individuals of this group made a good gain in weight increasing from 2.8 ounces' in October 1943 to 8 ounces in October 1944. Their average egg yield also increased from 215 to 394 per female. The crossing of McRae Lake female,s with large male speckled trout, hatchery stock, during 1943 proved to be a definite advance in fish culture. The resultant fingerlings still on hand are equal in quality to, if not better than, any fingerlings, ever produced at this hatchery. Five thousand speckled trout, eggs frein selected stock were received from Margaree in February and 1,061,200 Atlantic salmon eggs from Margaree salmon pond in November. In March 269,500 speckled trout eggs were shipped to Cobequid hatchery. Distributions for the season were 783,000 Atlantic salmon and 354,400 speckled trout of which 791 were marked by removal of the adipose and left pectoral fins. In addition 2,641 mark-ed McRae Lake trout were distributed in Lindloff Lake, 1,304 of which had been held in the hatchery ponds for one year. The balance 1,337 was a direct transfer between the two lakes. In selective breeding twenty-one pairs of selected three year old trout averaged 1,927 eggs per female as against 1,345 in the general group of the same age. One hundred and fifty-five McRae Lake wild females held over in hatchery ponds from 1943 were spawned as a group and their eggs fertilized with three year hatchery males. A total of 69,508 eggs so taken are being segregated for selective breeding purposes. A new concrete floor was laid in the hatchery, 16 large rearing troughs 13' x 24" x 15" and one 50 foot supply trough were installed on a new 55 foot 50160-5i II 68 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES bench prepared to accommodate them. The hatchery brook was deepened, widened and walled with stone cribbing where required, a 200 foot site for ponds was benched and cribbed with stone opposite the hatchery building. New sills and screen frames were installed in four of the circular ponds, repairs made to concrete centres of these ponds and 24 pond shades made and painted. Painting of the icehouse and garage, commenced last year, was completed and improvements made to grounds and dwelling. Kytes Lake offered excellent early fishing, .A the River Tillards fished well during July and early August, good catches of Sf speckled trout were reported from Mary Ann's Lake and Catalogne Lake was tI reported to have offered better than average fishing during the year. rE SE ef MARGAREE HATCHERY al J. W. Heatley, Superintendent The hatchery ponds yielded 2,783,400 speckled trout eggs, and 2,474,300 b( Atlantic salmon eggs were reeeived (November 17-December 7) from Margaree SE Salmon pond. In February 5,000 speckled trout eggs from selected stock, three year group, were shipped to each of the following: Lindloff, Antigonish, Florence- F. ville, Saint John and Cobequid hatchery. In March 300,000 speckled trout eggs were forwarded to Kelly's pond hatchery and 160,000 ta ,Cobequid. Dis- tributions for the year were, 2,130,000 Atlantic salmon and 889,100 speckled trout of which 19,095 of the latter were marked by fin clipping. In selective breeding 38 pairs of selected three year old trout averaged 1,925 eggs per female as against 1,026 per female in the general group of the same age. Ten small hatching and four large rearing troughs were made, the ar lower pond of the "S" series was widened and new dams built at the head and foot, .a centre outlet was made in the large pond at the hatchery, corners (C rounded, and a new six inch pipe line laid to this pond. Some increase was noticed over last year in the number of salmon on the spawning grounds. Good et angling was reported in the Margaree area, North River district and various a lakes in the New Boston area. The Fishery Supervisor and his officers gave splendid co-operation whenever called upon for assistance. .

MARGAREE SAUMON-RETAINING POND J. P. Chiasson, Superin,tendent . In ,accordance with the usual practice, the salmon for this pond were purchased from the Margaree Harbour Salmon Fisheries Association. Preparations for seasonal work began September 13 and consisted of cleaning pond, repairing pontoons, caulking boat and repairing fence around pond and the pond gate. The net was fished continuously from September 26 to November 4 taking 497 salmon averaging 10.3 pounds. Only one fish was lost during the.retention period. From 359 females stripped, November 16 to December 6, three million five hundred and thirty-five thousand five hundred eggs were taken and allotted, 2,474,300 to Margaree hatchery and 1,061,200 to Lindloff. An 18 pound female salmon bearing tag number K3062 was caught at White Rock, St. Lawrence Bay, Victoria County, N.S., on June 28, 1943, that was tagged and liberated e the Margaree pond on November 19, 1940 when it weighed 7 pounds after it was stripped and was 31 inches long. Tag number K3124 that also was attached to a stripped salmon liberated at Margaree Harbour in 1940 was reported from Saint John having been found, in the nape of a haddock caught on Noveraber 1, 1941 in twenty fathoms two miles off Mispek, N.B. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 69

MERSEY RIVER REARING PONDS C. E. Harding, Officer-in-Charge After all neeessary repairs had been made to the screens and ponds, 11,000 speckled trout fingerlings were received from Yarmouth May 26, and 308,000 Atlantic salmon fry from Bedford May 31 to June 16. The output for the season was 168,700 Atlantic salmon and 5,200 speckled trout. The catch of trout by angling compared favourably with other seasons. The two long ponds received a good .coating of gravel on sicles which filled all holes and stopped several of the leaks. The platform of the bridge as well as the floor of the camp and porch were painted. Further improvements were made to the grounds and the experimental feeding troughs were moved to a more suitable place where they are in sight of the camp. So long as the trunks were kept white- washed the trees growing along the banks of the ponds were not cut by beavers as they were last year. Valuable assistance vas rendered throughout the season by the staffs of the Nova Scotia Power Commission and the Mersey Paper Company, by the local Fisheries Inspectors, Fish Wardens, and Mr. F. Gray of Middle Lahave.

MIDDLETON HATCHERY, STEVENS PONDS AND NICTAUX REARING STATION F. M. Millett, Superintendent Eyed eggs received during the season were—Rainbow trout 75,000 Janu- ary 20 from Bourbon, Missouri, 200,000 April 6 from Cape Cod Trout Company, Wareham, Massachussetts, 69,800 May 23 and 25 from Saint John hatchery (Crooked creek strain) and 150,000 June 30 from Lloyds creek hatchery, B.C. (Kamloops variety)—the rainbow from Bourbon are autumn spawners, the others spring spawners; speckled trout 250,000 March 29 from Saint John; and Atlantic salmon 400,400 April 4"- from Cobequid. Green eggs received in November were--speckled trout 1,000,000 from Saint John and Atlantic salmon 1,000,400 from River Philip. Outgoing shipments of young fish May 18 to July 4 were-295,000 Atlantic salmon to Kejimkujik, 100,000 same species and 157,200 rainbow trout to Coldbrook. Distributions consisted of 440,000 Atlantic salmon, 15,500 Kamloops trout and 63,200 rainbow trout of which 30,154 of the last mentioned were marked by removal of the adipose and right pectoral fins and planted in tributaries of Sherbrooke Lake. The new icehouse and feed- room building was completed and given one coat of paint, the old icehouse being converted into a temporary storeroom and work shop, four new- hatching troughs were made, part of the interior of the hatchery was painted, the hatchery roadway and the grounds were improved, the dykes between the upper sections of Stevens ponds were gravelled, and new roofing was put on the watchman's quarters. Reports from sportsmen indicate that trout fishing in the district for the past two years has been exceptionally good. The hatchery truck and part of the Middleton staff assisted with the distributions from Coldbrook rearing ponds. Nictaux rearing station was not operated this season but the buildings were painted, bushes cleared from around the hatchery and an accumulation of debris removed from the vicinity of the intake pipe.

YARMOUTH HATCHERY F. F. Annie, Superintendent The yield from the hatchery ponds amounted to 286,800 speckled trout eggs. Eggs received from other points were 300,000 Atlantic salmon from Bedford March 21 and 746,200, sanie species, from River Philip pond November 70 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES 15. Outgoing shipments of speckled trout fingerlings in May were-11,000 to Mersey , and 15,600 to Kejimkujik. Distributions for the season were-74,800 speckled trout and 389,200 Atlantic salmon; of these 532 trout and 2,710 salmon were marked by removal of the adipose and right ventral fins. In selective breeding six pairs of two year old speckled trout yielded 1,385 eggs per female as against 735 in the general group of the same age. Hatching room., feed room and two halls opening off the hatching room were repainted, repairs made to garage doors and considerable progress was made in the excavation for two circula ponds on the lower hatchery lot. Anglers reported that there was evidence of considerable numbers of trout and that fishing was fairly good in the district.

CHARLO HATCHERY R. O. Barrett, Superintendent The speckled trout from the hatchery ponds produced 670,900 eggs—an increase of 149,000 over the previous year and more than double the collection of 1942.. Receipt of eggs from other points were-300,000 Atlantic salmon from Kelly's, March 2 and 1,805,600 Atlantic salmon from New Mills pond, October 26 to November 9. One outgoing shipment of 100,000 speckled trout eggs was made to Miramichi April 25. Output for the season consisted of 959,100 Atlantic salmon and 36,900 speckled trout, of which 6,240 of the latter were marked before being liberated into Black and Loch Lomond Lakes. In selective breeding 18 pairs of three year old speckled trout averaged 2,192 eggs per female as against 1,356 in the general group of the same age. Ten circular ponds were lined with three inches of cernent, the brood stock pond was repaired with clay where it had blown out, the woodwork inside of main and sub-hatchery and the vehandah of dwelling were painted. A swamp flowa.ge known as Henry's Lake and presumably barren, whose outlet is blocked by a dam, was stocked in 1941 with 200 speckled trout fingerlings. In September, 1943, they measured 16 inches long and weighed up tcy 24 pounds. In .May, 1944, five fish were taken averaging 2 pounds 10 ounces and the largest 3* pounds with lengths up to 18 inches. Exceptionally good. salmon .angling was again reported on the Restigouche River.

FLORENCEVILLE HATCHERY J. M. Butler, Superintendent The hatchery ponds yielded 552,700 speckled trout eggs this year which were augmented by 10,000 of the same species taken from wild stock captured in Burnt Hill brook. Egg shipments received consisted of 5,000 speckled trout (select stock) February 26 from Margaree, 505,000, same species, March 4 from Saint John, 600,000 Atlantic salmon March 25 from Miramichi hatchery, 836,000, same species, October 27 from Miramichi salmon pond and 2,036,400 speckled trout November 7 and 11 from Saint John. Distributions for the year were 1,465,000 Atlantic salmon and 189,000 speckled trout of which 18,370 trout were marked by removal of the adipose and left pectoral fins. In selective breeding 14 pairs of selected three year speckled trout yielded approximately 1,496 eggs per female as against 874 per female in the general group of the same age. Twenty-six new long pond shades were made, parts of exteriors of main hatchery, dwelling and garage painted, minor repairs made to ponds and equipment and grounds improved generally. Angling has been reported much improved in Davidson, Brown and Cranberry Lakes, Little Presquile River, Debec, Gibson Mill, Dead, Longs and Burnt. Land brooks, Glassville and John- ville Beaver ponds and River des Chutes. A representative of the Fredericton REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 71 Fish and Game Association assisted to a considerable extent and accompanied practically all the distributions in York County, the local Fisheries Stipervisor went with many of the local distributions and the local fishery wa.rdens helped to locate new distributing grounds and as.sisted in liberating fish.

GRAND FALLS HATCHERY W. A. MeCluskey, Superintendent In March 800,004 Atlantic salmon eggs were received from Miramichi and 1,000,000 speckled trout eggs from Saint John hatchery. In October 937,200 Atlantic salmon eggs also arrived from Miramichi salmon pond. Distributions for the season were 71,500 speckled trout and 1,941,400 Atlantic salmon. This year the exteriors .of all hatchery buildings were painted, part of the lawn reseeded and fertilized and the garages recovered with tar roofing. Assistance in making distributions, as in the past, was given by the Grand Falls branch of the Fish and Game Protective Association.

MIRAMICFII HATCHERY AND SALMON-RETAINING POND Frank Burgess, Superintendent In April 100,000 speckled trout eggs were received from Charlo hatchery and in October and November 7,528,300 Atlantic salmon eggs from Miramichi salmon pond. In March Atlantic salmon eyed eggs were transferred: 120,000 to Glenora hatchery, Ontario, 50,000 to Craig Brook hatchery, Maine, 800,000 to Grand Falls and 600,000 to Florenceville hatchery-. Distributions for the season were 32,300 speckled trout and 3,336,100 Atlantic salmon. More salmon were reported on the spawnina grounds this year than last. Fly fishing was good in all branches of the diramichi and commercial and set-net fishermen in the district had a good season. The exterior of the spawning building was painted and the garage re-aligned and painted. The parent salmon for the Miramichi pond as usual were purchased by tender and contract, and from September 9 to 25 one thousand eight hundred and fifty fish averaging 8.3 pounds in weight were impounded. Between October 19 and November 8, one thousand three hundred and eighty-two females were stripped yielding 9,301,500 eggs which were allotted: 7,528,300 to Miramichi, 937,200 to Grand Falls and 836,000 to.Florenceville. Two salmon bearing tags numbers K3570 and 1149 (celluloid) that were stripped and liberated at the pond in: 1943 were reported in May 1944, one from Si'llikers and the other from lower Newcastle, N.B.

NEW MILLS SALMON-RETAINING POND William White,, Superintendent Between May 25 and July 19, three hundred and ninety-four Atlantic salmon, averaginc, 15.3 pounds, purchased from 15 commercial fishing stands of the district, wer:delivered and impounded at the New Mills pond. At stripping time, October 25 to November 9, two hundred and forty-two females yielded 1,805,600 eggs which were all laid down in the Charlo hatchery. Only six salmon were lost during the retention period from May to November.

SAINT JOHN HATCHERY K. G. Shillington, Superintendent Last year's record collection of speckled trout eggs from the hatchery ponds was again exceeded with a take of 12,954,900 of which 5,764,500 were laid down in Saint John hatchery, 1,000,000 sent to Middleton, 2,036,400 to Florenceville 72 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES and the balance, 4,154,000 planted in Spring brook. The ponds .also produced 109,100 rainbow trout and 6,500 Atlantic salmon eggs—the latter from four year old pond-reared parents. Receipt of eggs from other points were-77,800 rainbow trout, (autumn spawners) January 19 from Bourbon, Missouri, 5,000 speckled trout, selected stock, February 25 from Margaree, 700,000 Atlantic salmon, March 1 from Kelly's. 76,800 same species April 14 from Cobequid, 104,000 rainbow April 19 from 'Wareham, Massachusetts, 119,900 speckled trout October 9 to November 22 from Lake Utopia, 26,000 sebago salmon November 10 to 23 from Chamcook lakes and 14,400 same species, November 11 and 18, from Gibson Lake. Outgoing shipments of speckled trout eggs, besides those mentioned above, were in March 505,000 to Florenceville, 1,000,000 to Grand Falls and 250,000 to Middleton and of rainbow trout eggs in May 69,800 to Middleton. Distributions for the season amounted to 323,000 Atlantic salmon, 17,500 sebago salmon including 13,777 marked, 97,200 rainbow including 8,842 marked, and 4,379,500 speckled trout including 2,735 marked, and the 4,154,000 eggs mentioned above. Marking was effected by removal of the adipose and one side fin. In selective breeding 58 pairs of three year old speckled trout were used with an average yield of 3,314 eggs per female as against a yield of 2,708 in the general group of the same age. The water was very low and warm during the summer making it necessary to supplement the supply obtainable from the reservoir by pumping water from the brook. Encouraging reports of improved fishinz were received from all districts. Sixty-three of the best speckled trout early spawners were paired in the fall of 1943 and the eggs from each pair segregated until they were eyed. Segregation of the groups in which survival was highest WaS continued into the fry and fingerling stages. It was found that some of the groups with the lowest percentage losses to the eyed egg stage had the heaviest losses during the fry and fingerling stages but with other groups the reverse was the case. It has been noted on two ocasions that if a tray of trout eggs received a slight jar about the first or second time the eggs were picked that this would kill a few of -them at the time but the remainder would continue to die until the time of hatching when the total loss might run to 90 or 95 per cent. That is, the detrimental effect of a jar to the eggs may not show up immediately but may continue and cause loss until the eggs are hatched. Two eight inch wood pipes were laid to within 40 feet of the hatchery and the intakes extended into the reservoir to a point where they should supply cooler water during the summer and possibly slightly warmer w.ater during the winter. The hatchery, dwelling and front of garage were painted, the outlet moved from the end to the centre of the large pond, the roof of the storage shed was coated with tar and sand, stripping shelter covered with canvas and the road and grounds improved generally. The Moncton, Sussex, St. Stephen, Fredericton Junction, McAdam and Saint John branches of the Fish and Game Protective Association as well as interested citizens assisted in distributing .hatchery fish in their respective districts. Operations at Chamcook and Gibson Lakes were carried on with the assistance of the district supervisors of fish culture and under their general supervision. At Chamcook between October 24 and November 19 one hundred and eight sebago salmon averaging a little over 2 pounds each were taken, 35 females of which yielded 26,000 eggs. At Gibson between October 22 and November 16 seventy-five sebagos averaging one pound each were captured, 20 females of which produced 14,400 eggs. Eggs from both camps were transferred to Saint John hatchery for incubation. Of the 75 fish .caught in Gibson Lake 36 or 48-0 per cent bore the hatchery markings.

CARDIGAN REARING PONDS C. Sayer, Superi,ntendent The ponds were in opération from May 8 to October 5 this season. From May 20 to e the hatchery at Southport supplied 100,000 Atlantic salmon, 92,200 rainbow and 193,900 speckled trout advanced fry. The output for the year was 69,600 Atlantic salmon, 87,500 rainbow and 134,500 speckled trout of -which 1,565 of the last mentioned were marked by removal of the adipose and left pectoral fins and planted in Watts' stream, Winter River. Four new pond frames were made, a 30-foot flag pole erected, two, ponds resodded, pond shades, refrigerator room and woodshed painted, some varnishing and painting' done in the dwelling and grounds improved generally. -Angling was reported to have been good.

"RFILLY'S POND HATCHERY AND MORELL RIVER SALMON-RETAINING POND C. A. Tait, Superintendent A collection of 218,300 speckled trout eggs, more than twice the number taken last year at this place, was made from the hatchery pond and 65,300 from Simpson's pond at Hope River. Other eggs received were 300,000 speckled trout from Margaree March 16, 100,000 rainbow trout from Cape Cod Trout Company, Wareham, Mass., April 13 and 1,033,100 Atlantic salmon from Morell salmon pond November 9 to 25. Outgoing shipments on February 29 were 700,000 Atlantic salmon eggs to Saint John and 300,000 to Charlo hatchery; and in May, 193,900 speckled trout, 100,000 Atlantic salmon and 92,200 rainbow trout advanced fry ta Cardigan rearing station. Distributions for the year were 212,800 salmon and 105,900 trout of which 1,595 of the latter were marked by removal of adipose and left pectoral fins. Six outside rearing tanks were made, portions of the hatchery interior painted, a hardwood floor laid in the dining room of the dwelling, two new sills placed under the garage and some grading done to the grounds. Assistant C. H. Cooper was in charge of Morell pond where 247 salmon averaging 9-5 pounds in weight were impounded between October 13 , and November 16; 1,033,100 eggs were obtained from 124 of these fish, November 9 to 25, -and transferred to the Kelly's pond hatchery. Although the run of salmon was slightly smaller than last year, the average size and yield of the fish was larger. One of these fish bore tag number K.3601 which was attached at the pond in November, 1943. A second salmon, tag number 1279, celluloid, whieh was also attached in 1943, was recaptured on July 17, 1944, on the west side of Burnt Cape at the entrance of Pistolet Bay, Newfoundland. A new boat was built and the dam on Dunphy's brook, which is the source of the fre,sh water supply for washing and hardening the eggs, was repaired. •

KERSWILL, Fisheries Research Board of Canada The Department of Fisheries has carried on oyster culture work in Prince Edward Island since 1928 and in Nova Scotia since 1934. The Dominionl Government obtained jurisdiction over the oyster areas of these two •provinces in 1928 .and 1936, respecti-vely, and policies of leasing grounds for oyster farming vvere then developed. In New Brunswick the Shediac area was transferred to Dominion jurisdiction in 1931 and work was carried on there for two years, but, owing to uncertainties regarding public health control, development was postponed until 1940 when investigations were resumed. In 1944 jurisdiction over the oyster areas of Gloucester County, N.B., was transferred to the Dominion Government. The department co-operates with the Fisheries Research Board in investigations designed to develop and demonstrate suitable methods of oyster culture for the varions districts where grounds may be leased. Headquarters are ,at the Prince Edward Island Biological Station on Bideford River in the Malpeque Bay area where areas have been reserved by the department for oyster farming demonstrations. The methods which are developed here have wide application but many other places have special problems requiring local investigation. Other experimental farms are operated at Orangedale in the Bras d'Or Lakes area, Malagash on Northumberland Strait and on a small scale at Shediac, N.B. and at Shippigan, N.B. They are useful for developing and demonstrating tc; lessees oyster culture methods and also for supplying at cost price oysters and separated spat suitable for stocking leaseholds. Since the outbreak of war keen interest in oyster farming has been maintained but the a.mount of work done by lessees has been greatly reduced, especially in Prince Edward Island. It is important that the experimental farming work of the department continue as usual to maintain the confidence and interest of lessees and facilitate resumption of their work- after the war.

A.—PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND illalpeque-Cascumpeque Region.—Beàinning in 1915 a mortality of oysters left this region almost devoid of a stock which had been abundant and noted for its fine quality. By an agreement with the Provincial Government in 1928 the Dominion Government obtained jurisdiction over all the oyster areas of the province for the re-establishment of the industry. Preliminary investigations were begun at Ellerslie that year and scientific research on methods of oyster cultivation in 1929. Leasing of grounds for oyster culture began in 1931 and the related administrative work, including the interviewing of applicants for leases, the examining and surveying of areas, and provision of stock for lessees has been done by the Prince Edward Island Biological Station. As shown in Table I the quantity of oysters marketed and the expenditure on development of leased areas was higher this year than in 1943. The number of spat collectors Put out by lessees was much lower this year than in the past few years but many large orders have been received for spat collected by the department in 1944 for delivery, in the spring of 1945. This year total receipts exceeded total expenditure by over $4,400 as compared to only about $2,000 in 1943. This was largely a result of greater receipts from the sale of oysters in 1944, amounting to over $26,000 as compared to about $21,000 in the previous year. It is expected that oyster farming can be placed on a more and more profitable basis as more economical methods are developed. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY IVIINISTER 85

• Regions Affected by More Recent Mortalities.—A mortality commencing in 1933 destroyed the public fishery in Enmore and Percival rivers. Similar destruction of the oyster fishery in Hillsborough River, some inlets east of Charlottetown and neighbouring north shore bays began in 1935. Evidence has been obtained that these mortalities were .oaused by the same disease as entered the Malpeque-Ca,scumpeque region in 1915. Experiments at Enmore River and Johnston River have shown that Malpeque Bay oysters are now resistant to the disease, having been bred from a few survivors, whereas oysters being produced in the regions recently affected are still susceptible. To establish disease-resistant stock in .affected areas the department offers for sale to lessees Malpeque oysters—under marketable size-- produced on its reserve in Bideford River. Interest in oyster farming as a means of re-establishing the industry has increased recently, especially in the Alexandra-Pownal and Enmore-Percival districts. This year 238 gallons of separated spat and 55 barrels of small oysters were sold to stock such areas and since 1941 a total quantity of 559 gallons of separated spat and 244 b-arrels of oysters -have been sold. Bede que Bay.—There are large public fishing beds in Summerside Harbour but • hey are closed to direct marketing because of pollution. Oysters must be re-laid for •one month to . adjacent ,approved uwes for purification before marketing. Several leaseholders in Salutation, Sedgewick and Sunbury coves purchase many oysters from public fishermen during the summer re-laying period, transfer them to their areas and market them in the fall. The summer fishing has improved conditions for natural spat collection on the Summerside beds and the area can now support a large fishery without danger of depletion. In 1944, 3,210 barrels were re-laid as compared to 2,300 in 1943, 2,137 in 1942 and 1,335 in 1941. Of these, 2,753 barrels were refished and marketed as compared with 1,754, 1,975 and 1,065 in the three previous years. The methods of handling and marketing the re-laid oysters require improvement because the oysters have • ften been re-planted too thickly, causing poor condition before marketing. The lessees have been given advice on the proper procedure based upon re-laying experiments of the department and such assistance must be continued. Provision of Planting Stock.—In the Malpeque-Cascumpeque, Bedeque Bay, Enmore-Percival, and other regions, permits are issued to lessees to pick oysters in the shore zone for stocking their areas. The period of picking is limited to several weeks in the summer when tides are suitable and when the operations can be supervised with least risk of illegal marketing. Many well-shaped oysters are transferred to deeper water, thus saving them from winter killing. This year about 425 barrels were picked and re-planted.

B.-NOVA SCOTIA In 1936 the Dominion Government obtained jurisdiction over the oyster areas in Nova Scotia and investigations on methods of oyster farming commenced that year. Experimental stations where oyster culture methods suited to the special local conditions could be tried were established in 1936 at Orangedale in the Bras d'Or Lakes area and in 1937 at Malagash on Northum- berland Strait. At the outbreak of war development of private oyster- areas had just commenced and as yet it has been undertaken on only a small scale. Experiments in spat collection and rearing and in predator -control are providing information which will be useful in the future development of .the industry. The development of oyster farming from 1939 to 1944 in the Bras d'Or Lakes and along Northumberland Strait is summarized in Table II. 86 • DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

BRAS D'OR LATZES Owing to the low salinity of the water, oysters here have weak shells, thin meats and fresh flavour so that the product is relatively low in value when marketed in the shell. Natural spat production is good and methods of artificial spat collection have also been developed. Development of the cheapest possible methods of production and improvement in marketing are needed. Marketing of Shucked Oysters.—In 1939 an attempt was made to market Bras d'Or Lakes oysters as shucked meats in bulk, through the co-operation of the Department of Fisheries and the Nova Scotia Marketing Board. As shown in previous annual reports the yield of oyster meats per barrel was low at first and the venture appeared to be unprofitable but results have been betÉer in later years. This year 1,381 barrels were shucked giving an average yield of 1-5 gallons per barrel and the average price received was $6 per gallon. In 1943 only 850 barrels were shucked averaging 1-3 gallons per barrel but obtaining an average price of $6.60 per gallon. An 'average yield of 1-5 American gallons per barrel, was, 'however, obtained in 1942, when the average price received was only 85.30 per gallon. By marketing as shucked meats, oysters which would sell in the shell for ,only $2 or $3 per barrel now are worth frorn $6 to $7 per barrel. The present .high price of shucked oysters is largely the result of the wartime embargo on importations from the United States which was lifted during the winter of 1943-44. Towards the end of 1944 lower prices were received as a result of the lifting of the embargo and it is expected that prices for Canadian shucked oysters will fall still lower. The wartime price of American shucked oysters is about $4.50 per 'gallon, much higher than before the war, •and since the quality of Bras d'Or Lakes shucked oysters compares favourady with the American product, it is possible that shucking will continue to be profitable. Development of Leased Areas.—Table II shows the number of areas in the Bras d'Or Lakes under cultivation, the expenditure in work and materials and the quantity of oysters marketed from leased areas from 1939 to 1944. The effort to grow oysters has been relatively small because of the marketing difficulties but in 1944 the quantity of oysters sold from leaseholds was 765 barrels, the greatest production so far. There was also an increase in the money spent for materials and in the work done by lessees as compared to 1943-44.

NORTHUMBERLAND STRAIT The principal areas are Tatamagou.che Bay, Caribou Harbour, Pictou Harbeur and Merigomish Harbour. Conditions are suitable for the production of higher quality oysters than in the Bras d'Or Lakes, and the principal problems concern production rather than marketing. These problems have been largely solved at Malagash and the results of the investigations with further modi- fications will be useful in developing oyster farming elsewhere. Development of Le. ased Areas.—The development of private oi-ster farming' along the Northumberland Strait from 1939 to 1944 is shown in Table II. As compared to previous years there was a great increase in the quantity of oysters planted, some increase in the quantity sold, more money spent for materials and more work done by lessees. This resulted in a total expenditure of work and materials of $5,096, which exceeded the 1942-43 total by more than $1,000 and is over four times the 1939-40 total. The table shows that since 1941 the development work in Northumberland Strait has been much greater than in the '''Bras d'Or Lakes. This is largely the result of the work of a few enter- prising lessees in Merigomish Harbour and of increasing interest in re-laying REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 87 oysters from polluted parts of Pictou Harbourg to uncontaminated leases in Middle River. In the present re-laying period 182 barrels were re-laid to areas in the latter .area and 95 were fished again and marketed. Lessees at Pictou and Caribou are now obtaining spat for stocking their are,as from the department's experimental farm at Malagash and it is expected that there will be an increasing demand for this stock.

C.—NEW BRUNSWICK Gloucester County.—This year the most important change in policy affecting the work of the department was the transfer in May of jurisdiction of oyster leasing in Gloucester County, N.B., from the Provincial to the Dominion Government. In this county over 160 leases were issued by the New Brunswick of Lands and Mines since 1938, most of the .areas being in the Department vicinity of Shippigan. A policy governing the transfer of the provincial leases to the federal department and the issuing of new leases was drawn up this summer. A thorough survey of the region was made in September during the public fishing season to delimit the public fishing areas. During the year over 200 new applications for leases have been received. New problems of oyster culture require solution, especially the collection of oyster spat. The leases now in effect have been well stocked with small oysters picked by .hand along the shores at low tide but natural reproduction is erratic and a dependable source of seed stock is urgently required for the numerous leases which will soon be in effect. In the past two summers an investigator has been stationed at Shippigan and progress has been made towards developing suitable spat collection methods. Shediac Area.—The Dominion Government has ha:d jurisdiction over the oyster areas of Shediac Bay since 1931 but no leases have yet been issued there. Investigations at Shediac were postponed in 1933 owing to uncertainty of the public health situation but they were resumed in 1940 and in 1942 a small experimental farm was established. The investigations from 1940 to 1942 showed that the chief problem at Shediac is the lack of a dependable natural spat production and later observations have indicated that there is .at present only a very small a,rea available for leasing. The problem is discussed further under "Results of Investigations and Experiments". Miramichi Area.—In 1943 a survey of the oyster areas of the Miramichi River indicated that some beds could be opened to supervised fishing by lessees for stocking their areas, since environmental conditions on them are such that few oysters ever reach marketable size and the stock is of poor quality. In 1944 arrangements were made for holders of leases in the lower part o the Miramichi River, where a scarcity of seed stock exists, to fish oysters for two weeks in July from the upper part of the river where there is no public fishery. It is hoped that in 1945 an investigator can be stationed on the Miramichi to obtain data on hydrographie conditions and attempt artificial spat collection. Need for Oyster Farming.—Oyster farming would likely bring about increased production and improve the quality in many areas. Educational work among lessees is necessary and the department now distributes its oyster farming circulars to New Brunswick lessees in French as well as English. It is planned to conduct illustrated lectures when a suitable set of slides illustrating farming methods elsewhere has been obtained. 88 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES D .—GENÉRAL REVENUE • The sources of revenue from the department's oyster culture work include the sale of oyster spat and medium-sized oysters to lessees for stocking purposes, the sale of marketable oysters by tender from the department's reserved areas, and rentals and royalties on leases. This revenue goes to consolidated revenue and is not .credited to the vote but it serves to reduce the actual net cost of the work to the government considerably below the amount expended under the appropriation. The appropriation in 1944-45, exclusive of cost of living bonus, was $24,300. Through economy the expenditure was limited to $19,800 and the revenue reduced the net cost to about $13,800. Table III summarizes the revenue received in 1944-45 and in several preceding years. The details of quantities of oysters marketed and the prices received in previous years may .be found in a similar table in the preceding reports. As compared} to 1943-44 the prices tendered for marketable oysters were unusually high this year and more were fished from the department's beds, especially the downriver Cooper bed, largely accounting for the increase in total revenue of about $860. More small oysters were sold at cost for stocking purposes and the price per barrel was increased from $3 to $3.50 to cover higher fishing expenses. Recently the demand for "Standard Shape" oysters prOduced on the upriver beds in the departnient's reserve has decreased because oyster growers are ha-ving difficulty in disposing of low grade oysters produced on their own leaseholds. This largely accounts for the decrease in total revenue following 1941-42 when the revenue approached $10,000 and is the maximum since the beginning of the present program of oyster farming. More of the upriver beds than formerly are now being fished during the summer to supply small oysters as mentioned above. Although relatively little revenue is obtained from this source the service is of great benefit to those who are ibeginning oyster farming operations in new places.

RESTJLTS OF INVESTIGATIONS AND EXPERIIIENTS The investigations are described in detail in reports and bulletins of the Fisheries Research Board and. only a brief review is given here. Spatfalls were again predicted for all places where collectors are put out by the department and by lessees. Conditions were suitable for an early and abundant settlement of spat and final re,sults were excellent on Prince Edward Island in the Malpeque Bay region, Enmore River, and Becleque Bay, and in Nova Scotia at Malagash, Caribou, and Pictou. Further information was obtained, on the most suitable places for spat collection in the Shippigan vicinity, N.B., and some oollectors put out by lessees yielded promising results. The department will have available a large quantity of separated spat for sale to lessees in the spring of 1945, a service which is especially appreciated now when few lessees can put out collectors themselves. The identification and description of various bivalve larvae found in plankton tows taken in the Malpeque Bay area was continued and photomicro- graphs were made of the larval stages of twelve different species including the oyster, the soft-shelled clam, the shipworm, and the razor clam. It is hoped that by the end of 1945 the free-swimming larval stages of all the bivalves common to the Malpeque Bay area will have been identified, describe d and photographed. The results will be useful in the training of the board's summer investigators. Ability to identify the larvae of numerous species of mollusk,s will also make possible observations on their occurrence and growth rate which may influence predictions of the most suitable time to set out oyster collectors. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 89 At Malagash, N.S., the techniques of collecting spat on exposed tidal flats and of holding spat on collectors over winter in small tidal creeks have been developed: satisfactorily and a dyke retaining water over the flats, has been found excellent for rearing oysters during' their second year. A 'c,onsiderable quantity of spat reared in the dyke to a size suitable for planting directly on leaseholds is desired in the Pictou and Caribou regions and. it is planned to provide adequate stock for this requirement. The results of investigations at Malagash will be useful in solving the problems of oyster culture in similarly exposed places like Pownal Bay and Emnore and Percival rivers on Prince Edward Island, where interest in oyster farming is increasing. Further information was obtained on the problems to be solved in Shediac Bay before the prospects for successful oyster farming are encouraging. Spat introduced- from Malagash and Orangedaie, N.S., in 1943, continued to survive and grow well on floating trays, and the problem of failures in local spat production cotild evidently be solve-d by introducing spat from outside sources. At present there is little suitable ground available for leasing because much of the southern portion of the bay is closed to direct marketing for publie health reasons and there is a large public fishing reserve to the north. Changes in the boundaries of the public fishing reserve, where stocks are now depleted, seem to be d,esirable. Because there is no definite evidence that Bedeque Bay oysters were ever affected by the oyster. disease, transfer of oysters from Malpeque Bay to Bedeque Bay and vice-versa is prohibited,. Wit-h a view to determining whether the restrictiop is necessary, small transfers of oysters, were made in the spring of 1943 from Bedeque Bay to Malpeque Bay and Enmore River. The oysters have survived and grown rapidly, suggesting that they are resistant to the disease and therefore that Bedeque Bay stocks were once affected. In 1944 spat were collected in Bedeque Bay and transferred to Malpeque Bay where they also appear to be thriving. The condition of the transferred stocks is to be observed for several years, because the disease does not usually become apparent until oyster spat are in their third year. A group of experiments was carried out in Bideford River on the growth and condition of 'both small and large oysters to check previous data and to extend information on the most suitable type of tray, mooring location, and the general factors favouring growth under conditions resembling those used in oyster farming operations. New information was obtained an the value of rearing spat in the shade since direct sunlight inhibits growth. The effect of varying degrees of water circulation on growth rate and condition of oysters was demonstrated by the faster growth on beds free of eel grass than on grassy plots and .by more rapid growth on trays placed where water currents are faster. The food supply consisting of phytoplankton is indicated as an important factor affecting growth of both larval and adult oysters and an intensive investigation of its variations and their causes was started this Year. The preliminary results showed that fluctuations in the abundance of plankton were conelated with fluctuations in the total hours of sunlight per week, and peaks: in oyster growth immediately followed the peaks in plankton abundance. The experiments are to be continued on a more extensive scale in 1945. The staff of the Laval Biological Station .at Grand River, Quebec, were assisted with the organization of a series of experiments to determine whether oysters could be introduced into the waters of the Gaspé peninsula along the north shore of Bay Chaleur. Exploration in June of all probable sites showed' that conditions were generally unfavourable for oysters owing to low water temperatures, low salinities, and exposure to storms. Paspébiac and Port Daniel were selected as the most promisinu places for investigation and oysters were introduced there from Shippigan andMalagash. The results of the investigations g0 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES will be available to the department and willbe useful in extending oui' knowledge of the growth rate and reproduction of oysters under -various conditions.- In addition to investigations -pertaining directly to the oyster industry further observations were made on the distribution and growth rate of bar clams and extensive ,beds in Salutation ,Cove, near Summerside, .were found to be well populated, with ,small clams as well as larger clams which are now being canned' locally. Also in the autuann, a series of smelt gill-netting experiments was conducted in Bideford River to determine the quantity and grade of smelts caught in nets of five different sizes.. Nets of 1- inch mesh- gave best results in this area. The exploration of oyster areas preliminary to the leasing of grounds and the development of suitable administrative policies was continued in the three Maritime Provinces. This work occupies much of the time of the scientific staff.

GRADING AND INSPECTION There has been great improvement in shipments of shell stock leaving the coast since new requirements for packing and grading oysters were introduced in 1941. Through meetings and personal contacts an effort has been made to instruct both the fishery officers and the packers in the •proper interpretation of the regulations. Each fall an inspector has checked and reported on oYster shipments reaching Montreal and has interviewed dealers with a view to judging the effectiveness of the inspection, and determining the views of the trade. This fall Inspector L. J. Murphy found .at Montreal that the quality of the pack from some districts, especially from Gloucester County, N.B., was somewhat inferior to that of last year. Owing to very rapid growth of oysters in 1944 the proportion of thin-lipped oysters was greater than usual, making grading more difficult,. The oyster production of 'Gloucester •County was insignificant before 1940 but expanded greatly to a production of over 10,000 barrels in 1944. The department's staff is now inadequate to thoroughly inspect the pack and criticize the grading, and based on Inspector Murphy's observations it was recommended that the number of inspectors be increased. With the object of attaining greater uniformity in the pack it is hoped that a well qualified inspector can be employed- during the whole marketing season to supervise the packing and grading of oyster,s throughout the Maritime Provinces and to instruct packers and inspectors. It is important that the closest attention be given everywhere to the grading and inspection of oysters to ensure sound expansion of marketing, as the production of oysters increases through intensive oyster farming.

BRUCE, M.E.I.C., Chief Engineer The Engineering Division is responsible for all of the technical works of the Department in the Maritime Provinces, British Columbia and the North- west Territories where the administration of the fisheries is entirely or largely under the Federal Government. Generally, these works include the 'removal of obstruetions in streams which impede or prevent the ascent of fish to suitable spawning grounds; the design and supervision of the construction of fishways, cold storage and other buildings connected with the fisheries and fish cultural establishments. The division also administers the work in connection with oyster and other mollusc 'fisheries in the Maritime Provinces, including the leasing of ground for oyster farming.

BUILDING FISHWAYS AND CLEARING RIVERS Works under this head include: (a) surveys and the preparation of designs for adequate fishway facilities for dams which prevent the ascent of fish to suitable spawning grounds and to overcome natural falls or impassable barriers to their «scent, and (b) the removal of artificial obstructions. Where dams are privately owned, the owners or occupiers are required to instal and maintain adequate fishway facilities therein, in conformity with the requirements of the Fisheries Act, but, as those not conversant with the design of fishways are quite unlikely to provide structures that will prove efficient, it has been the policy of the Department to require that all fishways shall be built in accordance with designs prepared by the Engineering Division. This involves a study of each situation and, after the collection of data and the completion of the neoessary ground surveys, the design of a fishway to best meet the conditions peculiar to the situation. The removal of ,artificial obstructions includes many varieties of work, depending on the character and extent of the barriers. Particularly in. British Columbia, where the country is mountainous, obstructions are liable to accumu- late frequently due to extreme freshets, which carry klown forest rubbish, and under some conditions may undermine the banks, eausing large trees to fall into the water. Many such conditions require immediate action ta insure that chamiels are opened to provide for the ascent of the season's run of fish as otherwise adequate seeding of the spawning grounds would be entirely prevented. Unless obstructions are of a major character, requiring the advice of an engineer, their removal is usually undertaken under the supervision of the local fisheries inspector after the need has been established. The works undertaken during the year are classified and reviewed hereunder:—

NOVA SCOTIA North River, Victoria County.—Reference was made in the annual report for 1941-42, to the construction of a fishway to facilitate the ascent of salmon over a falls in this river. This fishway was effective in passing salmon until the spring of 1944 when two large rocks became dislodged from the canyon wall, falling directly into the pool below the entrance. It was necessary to remove these rocks to make the fishway effective again. Tangier River, Halifax County.—In 1935, a company organized to operate old gold mine workings at Tangier rebuilt the dam on this river to provide the necessary power. Immediate steps were taken to require the company to REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 93 provide a fishway in the dam but due to financial difficulties, and the plea that the operation of the mine was of more value to the community than the fish, the matter was not concluded. Negotiations were continued until finally the company went into liquidation. The matter was then taken up with the creditors, but as no assurance was obtained the Department made a large opening through the dam, which provides an unobstructed passage for the ascent of fish. Ecum Secum River, Guysboro County.—An abandoned dam on this river, which had fallen into such a state of disrepair that it was blocking the passage of fish, was removed. Gaspereau River.—Due to extremely dry weather and an increased power demand, the water level of Gaspereau Lake was so lowered that the outlet stream was dried, and many young salmon were stranded. A survey was made to determine the extent of work necessary to deepen the lake outlet to overcome this. As, however, this was an abnormal condition it was decided to defer action to conaplete the work until the need for it again arises.

NEW BRUNSWICK Chamcook Lake, Charlotte County.—The Depa.rtment has maintained a rack at the outlet of this lake for a number of years to prevent the descent of Landlocked salmon. A survey was made to obtain information for the design of a new rack as the old one was in poor condition but, as it was not possible to have it made in time to prevent salmon from descending in the fall, the old one was temporarily repaired. -- IVIiramichi River Area, Northumberland County.—Reference was made in the annual report for 1943-44 to the removal of obstructions from several brooks, tributary to the Miramichi River, to increase the spawning areas for smelts. Work in this connection was continued during the year under review. In one instance it was found that lumberers had completely blocked a stream with slash from their operations. They were required to entirely remove this.

BRITISH COLUMBIA Atnarko River.—An inspection of a part of this river, about fifty miles from the mouth revealed that in a section of about five miles, where the stream is subdivided into several channels, some of these had become blocked with debris and logs in such a manner that the ascent of fish would. be .preventect particularly during low water stages. The season, was too advanced to undertake the work but the necessary explosives were procured and it will be proceeded with early in 1945. Yak,oun Éiver.—An inspection late in the year revealed that three log jams had formed in this river, the largest being some four miles from the mouth and the others five and twelve miles up. It was planned to undertake removal of these jams in the early spring but continued higii water conditions prevente'd thisbeina done. The necessary explosives were procured and the .work will be undertakenb during the summer of 1945 after the salmon fry are out of the stream.

-Whiskey Creek.—This creek, tributary to Little Qualicum River and having valuable spawning grounds, was found, on inspection, to be obstructed by the remains of an old, logging railroad bridge which had rotted and fallen into it. Explosives to assist in the removal of the obstruction were procured but high water prevented completion of the work at that time. 94 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Rosewall Creek.A careful inspection of the lower end of this stream was made with a view to determining if it would be practicable to improve the unsatisfactory conditions then existing from the standpoint of the fisheries. Immense quantities of gravel had been carried down the stream and dePosited in the comparatively level section below, filling the strearn bed, up to a level higher than the low-lying banks in some places, with the result that, during freshets, the water spread over the land. in a number of undefined channels, none of which afforded adequate means for the ascent of fish. During low water periods in the summer the water seeped underground through the gravel, thus leaving the stream, dry for some distance. Heavy freshets during the late fall and winter entirely changed, the situation by opening up new channels which the owner of adjacent land has improved with a view to protecting his property from further damage. In view of the entire uncertainty regarding its permanency the Department reached the conclusion that no work looking to improving conditions for fish should, ibe undertaken at the present time. Puntledge River.—An inspection and preliminary survey of the situation at the impounding dam at the foot of Coroox Lake were carried, out with a view to the establishment of a fishway. With this information and hydrometric data procured from the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Limited, owners of the dam, a design for a fishway was subsequently prepared. Sally River.—An obstruction to the ascent of ,fisb, consisting of a mass of drift timber and .assorted debris, was removed,. Pine River.—The obstruction in this river consisted of a number of very large boulders located: in the channel in such a roanner as to almost block it during low water stages. These boulders were removed. Bush Creek.—The obstruction consisted of a log jam lying in the creek about one-half a mile above tide water. It had been forming for a number of years and during the past season freshets brought down a considerable further amount of debris which threatened to close the creek completely. The necessary clearing work to provide a free passage up stream for salmon was completed. Quinsam River.—A number of falls on this river in the first mile below Lower Quinsam Lake made the upstream passage of fish difficult. A pool was excavated on the sloping rock on the face of the lower falls where the main obstruction existed. Immediately above this a depression was e,xeavated to break the velocity of the water flow. Work was also proposed at one of the intermediate fall s but due to water conditions this liad to be deferred for the time being. Later inspection revealed, however, that coho salmon reaching the falls ascended to the lake without great difficulty, which was evidence that the work was effective, at least so far as the water levels then obtaining were concerned,. FISH CULTURAL ESTABLISHMENTS No new establishments were built during the year but, in addition to ordinary maintenance, improvements were carried out where this was in the interests of efficiency. The works are reviewed hereunder:—

NOVA SCOTIA Bedford Hatehery.—It was necessary to construct a cribwork measuring 95 feet in length along the bank of Sackville River where freshets threatened to cause damage to the hatchery property. The area behind the cribwork was graded and seeded,. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 95 Cobequid Hatchery.—The extreme fres_het in Second River, referred to in the .1942-43 report, in addition to causing considerable damage to the water supply dam, carried down immense quantities of gravel which were deposited in the pond above the dam. As this was causing difficulty with the water supply the pond was drained and the gravel removed with a bulldozer. In order to facilitate future cleaning of the pond, one of the gates in the dam, which were of a stop-log type, was replaced with a lifting gate. A chimney was built in the workshop and the galvanized iron retorts of the cold storage room, which had become pitted from erosion, were renewed. River Phillip Salmon Pond.—The cribwork forming the inlet and the retaining dam at the lower end of this pond were rebuilt. Coldbrook Rearing Pond.—A survey was made in connection with leakage which had developed in the water supply dam. Lindloff Hatchery.—An instrumental survey was made for the construction of a new water supply dam at the foot of Lindloff Lake. Consideration was given to the possibility of increa,sing the height of the dam to provide some additional storage in the lake. A concrete floor was laid in the hatchery replacing the original earthen floor with wooden walks, the latter having become so rotted that replacement was necessary. The grounds at this hatchery slope up steeply on both sides. of the stream running through the property and level ground on which rearing ponds could be built is accordingly non-existent, except on a small flat which previously formed the bottom of a mill pond immediately below the lake. Circular ponds have been constructed on this flat but in order to provide for future expansion it was decided to bench an area on the side-hill at a sufficiently low level to admit of providing a gravity water supply from the lake. An area some 200 feet long was graded and stone cribbing placed to- prevent sloughing. Additional levelling was also done to provide an area for setting up sixteen rearing tanks, each measuring 13 'feet long, 24 inches wide and 15 inches deep. Mar garee Hatchery.—A large rectangular trout rearing pond at this hatchery, which was furnished with -a water supply at the upper end and an overflow at the lower end, was difficult to keep cleaned. As a means of overcoming this and rendering it more efficient the corners were rounded and a central outlet installed, thus converting it to a circular pond in which the water has a circulatory motion towards the outlet. A new 6-inch wood stave supply pipe was laid, replacing the iron pipe which had become corroded. In addition, several of the long rearing ponds were modified and repaired. Middleton Hatchery.—A new icehouse with feed room was built to replace the old building which, in addition to being very badly rotted, was too small for present operations. Kejimkujik Rearing Ponds.—The water supply dam at the foot of Grafton Lake was repaired and a new foot bridge, giving access to the circular ponds, was built across Grafton Brook. Four troughs with the necessary w.ater supply and drainage were set. up for experiments in rearing. Yarmouth Hatchery.—Following an instrumental survey and the preparation of plans, the construction of two circular ponds each 50 feet in diameter, was commenced under the supervision of ;the hatchery superintendent. As the excavation proceeded solid rock was encountered and it was necessary to defer completion until the necessary machinery for excavating the rock is available. 96 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES

lw BRUNSWICK St. John Hatchery.—As the outside rearing troughs at this hatchery were in poor condition and, moreover, did not afford sufficient capacity, it was decided to increase capacity by building new and larger troughs at another location where more space was available. Difficulties were encountered in obtaining suitable material for the troughs and the installation was not completed. It was, however, deeided to lay two lin.es of 8-inch wood stave pipe (some quantity of which was salvaged from the old system) from the watex supply reservoir .to a point immediately outside the main hatchery building, replacing two 6-inch iron pipes. The added capacity will afford veater both for the hatchery and the outside troughs, and when the former is closed in the summer the supply to the latter can be augmented when an increased supply is desir- able aue to high water temperatures. New Mills Salmon Retaining Pond.—As the cribwork dam, across the estuary of New Mills Brook which forms this pond, is in need of repairs, consideration was given to the construction of a concrete dam to replace it. At the same time the desirability of increasing the pond area was given consideration and a survey for a new dam farther down the estuary was made. Charlo Hatchery.—Ten circular ponds were lined with concrete replacing the clay and gravel linings.

OYSTER CULTURE The issue of oyster leases in Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia., where jurisdiction is under the Federal Government, was continued during the year under review. In Prince Edward Island 69 leases were completed, making a total of 1,288 since leasing commenced in 1932. Of these 1,288 leases 538 have been cancelled, or abandoned by the lessees, leaving a total of 750, having a combined area of 1,780 acres, in effect. Since the outbreak of war development work on leases has lessened to a considerable extent, but it is quite possible that when lessees who have been on active service return to civil life and others who engaged in wartime work return to their former occupations, there will be a revival of activity, and that some of the cancelled leases will be reinstated. In addition to the leases issued, 858 applications were before the Department for consideration at the close of the year. In Nova Scotia 22 leases were issued, making a total of 286 since leasing commenced in that province in 1938. Cancellations and abandonments have totalled 41, leaving 245 leases, having a combined ,area of 591 acres, in effect, while 90 applications were before the Department for consideration. During the year the jurisdiction of leasing ground for oyster, culture in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, was transferred by agreement from the Provincial to the Federal Government. More than 160 leases, issued by the province, were in effect when the transfer was completed, and it was necessary to formulate a policy for the transfer of these leases to Federal jurisdiction and also for the issue of new leases. Immediately following the transfer, large numbers of enquiries from local people who desired to apply for leases were received, but the Department was unable to deal finally with them as it was necessary to first establish the limits of public fishing areas, where no leases would be issued. It was considered that this could best be done during the legal fishing season, which opened in September, as information regarding the locations of beds which actually supported a profitable fishery could then be readily obtained. By REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 97 actual survey and general agreement with the local oyster fishermen, the limits of all public fishing beds were defined. A notice to all interested in. oyster farming in Gloucester County, setting forth the conditions under which leases would be granted, was issued and circulated to those who had made enquiries, and they were invited to submit applications for leases on forms prepared for the purpose. More than 200 applications were received and it expected that as many of these, as well as others which will continue to be received, as can be handled, will be dealt with and leases issued during the coming year. As there were no maps or plans of the Gloucester County areas on a scale large enough for adequately plotting leased areas, it was necessary to prepare them by enlarging such smaller scale maps as were available to the required scale. Three large sheet plans covering the areas in the St. Simon, Shippegan and Lameque were completed.

SURVEY WORK Surveying in connection with oyster cultural work includes the establishment of boundaries of all areas to be leased and other related works. During the year under review the following surveys were undertaken:— 1. Seventy-four areas for leases in Prince Edward Island were surveyed and 32 re-surveys to establish the boundaries of leased areas, the markers of which had been lost or destroyed, were made. 2. In Nova Scotia 25 surveys and two re-surveys were made. 3. Survey monuments in the Malpeque Bay area which had been de.stroyed were replaced and their correct positions, with respect to the co-ordinates of the grid lines in which leases are laid out, were established. 4. Beacon ranges, marking grid lines and lease boundaries, were established on Lot 12 Point in the Malpeque Bay area. 5. The boundaries of the reserve in Grand River, Malpeque Bay, set apart for lessees to obtain oysters for stocking their leaseholds, were established and marked. 6. All picking areas in Malpeque Bay were established and marked. 7. In connection with the preparation of correct plans of the Bras d'or Lakes oyster areas, the stadia survey of Whycocomagh Bay was completed. Monuments were established and a portion of the triangula- tion survey of Big Harbour was completed. 8. In the Shippegan area, in New Brunswick, the boundaries of the public- fishing reserves in St. Simon Inlet (north and south branches) Pokisudi, Lameque Bay and Little Lameque Bay were established and 'narked. 9. The large scale sheet plan of the Whycocomagh Bay area was completed. During the winter the unusual frequency of stormy weather, coupled with poor ice conditions, both in Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, markedly curtailed field work. In Prince Edward Island a number of surveys for leases had to be deferred due to these conditions.

GENERAL Lobster Pound, Yarmouth, N.S.—At the request of a group of organize' lobster fishermen in Yarmouth and vicinity an engineer made a survey for a lobster pound which the 'Troup wished to build at Yarmouth Bar. Technical advice, including plans and bills of materials for the pound, was furnished to the group following the completion of the survey. 50160-7 98 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES GaSpe Fisheries Experimental Station.--Reference was made in last year's report to the preparation • of plans- and specifications for the érection by the FiSh.eries Research Board of a new Experimental Station at Grand River; Gaspe ConntY, Quebee. Tenders; were's-ubsequently received and a contract awarded for the construction of the station and the work was completed during the year, tinder the supervision of the Engineering Division. Obtaining a sufficient supply of fresh Waler for use in the laboratories was a matter of Some -concern. Previous information 'ras io the effect that large surface wells would furnish an adequate supply, which was estimated:at from 4000 to .1,500 gallons per hour. Tests of surface wells, however, indicated that such information was not reliable existing and the posSibility of obtaining the required supply by boring was then considered. • Investigation of the geological formation gave little promise of success, and while another bored well in the vicipity•furnished a fair supply of water it was too saline, due to leakage of sea-water intci it, .for use in the station. It was, ho*éver,'decided to'bore à well as it was c'onsidered that, « altheugh the water in the existing well was saline, there was an eVen chance that no .sea-water would enter one at another location. This 'proved te be the case and an adequate supply of freSh water- was obtained at a -depth of 150 feet. Inspection, of Fish, ProcesSing Plants.—In order to obtain information regarding present methods and with a view to securing information which might lead to improving these methods an engineer visited plants in the Maritime Provinces, British Columbia and the United States. In the Maritimes plants were inspected at Lunenburg, Glace Bay, North Sydney, Ingonish and Caraquet, while in British Columbia plants at Vancouver, Victoria and Stevenston were viewed. In the United States plants of the General Seafoods and Atlantic Coast Fish- eries at Boston, Groton-Pew and General Seafoods at Gloucester, and the John O'Hara. plant at Rockland, Maine, Were inspected. En route from British Columbia, the Edmonton Cold Storage plant at Edmonton. and the Manitoba Cold Storage Plant at .Winnipeg were visited. . Lameque Cold Storage Plant.—This plant, owned by the Lameque Fisher- inen's Co-operative and subsidized- under the Bait Freezer Regulations, was completed during the year. The plant vas inspected by an engineer before payment of the subsidy was made.' • Inspections.—General inspections by an engineer were made of the fishway in the Ross dam. on Vernon River, P.E.I., the Cardigan Rearing Pond, P.E.I., in connection, with repairs to, the water :supply dam, a dam at Annandale, P.E.I., built by provincial interests in connectiOn with the trout fishery, the Sanitor- ium dam on the Pollett River; N.B., in connection with the proPosal that a fishway should be installed, Florenceville Hatchery in connectiOn with 'repairs to a leak in the water Supply. dan, :Miramiehi Hatchery in connection: With repairs, Kouchibouguac River in connection with alterations to the fishway in the New Brunswick Electric Power Commission's dam, and the Tusket River, N.S., in connection with conditions for the ascent of salmon through fishways in the Nova Scotia Power Commission's power development of that river.

' REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 99 APPENDIX No. 6 REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE CANNED FISH INSPECTION LABORATORY, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FOR THE YEAR 1944-45 By F. CHARNEY, Chief Chemist The following report summarizes the main investigations and other work, whieh in .addition to the routine examinations have engaged. the .attention bf the laboratory during the past year. - • - :.(1): Dùring the year 1944-45, the *4:irk On the quality of pinlé arid•soCkeYe sahnon caught in the Gulf of Georgia às compared with the corresponding species caught in the Fraser River and immediate a.pproaches , thereto was completed. This investigation revealed no significant differences in quality of salmon taken from the two areas, when the Fraser River area is limited approximately to that part of the river below New Westminster. Samples taken above New Westminster, however, were *in general inferior as regards the intensity of the red- colour of: the muscle tissue in comparison with samples taken in the Gulf Georgia area. A full report on this investigation was forwarded to the Department on March 16, 1944. (2) During the past year werk lia. been 'continued on the method of determining the acid value of the oil of canned herring by means of the pH of the solution of the oil in benzene and : alcohol and previously prepared titration curves. This work has shown that to obtain accurate results by this method it is necessary to control accurately the• proportions of benzene, alcohol and water in the solvent. . (3) 'Further werk ha s also been carried out on the discovery made la,st Year that the aeid value of the oil of:canned .herring parallels certain properties. of .the proteins in the aqueous liquid of the canned herring arising - frdm post- nierteni. spoilage. Owing to delays in obtaining a galvanoMeter, hoWever, and the 'encroachment of other problems, it was not possible to devote any consider:. able time to this problem. (4) Thne was spent during the iJast: year in preparing apparatus for a pro- jected investigation on the effect of temperature on the rate of post-mortem . spoilage in herring. 'These experiments -,ivere to have been carried out in co-operation with the laboratory of a large:fishing company, but owing to transportation difficulties arising from gasoline and tire shortage it did not prove feasible t-o proceed with the investigation.: (5) Some tests were Carried ont during the past season to determine. the feasibility of running carbon dioxide values on the drained liquid of canned salmon as an alternative for the procedure followed at present in which the drained Muscle tissue là employed. Unfortunately, since this investigation involves the preparation of experimental samples, it was not possible «for the the preceding- paragraph. reasons: mentioned in • (8) Incubation tests on samples of Canned salmon and canned' herring« Were continued during' the 1944-48 season • but no nonsterile tins were detected.• (7) Data collected by the laboratory over a number of years have shoWn that, with one exception, the refractive index of the oil provides an exeellérit means of identifying the species of British Columbia salmon and, :hence, this test may be utilized to check the coding of a given sample of canned salmon. The. exception arises in differentiating .between pink and coho salmon, where the average refractive indices show only a small difference. An investigation. W. RS, therefore underta,ken recently with the object of supplementing this test by. the .use of measurements on the vertebrae in the sample,- Preliminary work: on this test indicates that, by applying 'Fisher's clisgimant function. method, 100 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES it will be possible to distinguish readily between the two species mentioned, and probably also between the remaining species of British Columbia salmon from simple measurements on the vertebrae. (8) During the past season calculations were carried out to determine the nature of the distribution of the raeasure of firmness derived by the laboratory from the results of an investigation into the dynamics of the penetration of semi-rigid bodies, such as canned salmon, carried out at the laboratory some years ago. These calculations have shown that the values of the skewness and kurtosis of the distribution of the measure of firmness derived from dynamical considerations do not differ significantly from those of a normal distribution, namely, 0 and 3, respectively, and consequently, that this measure of firmness raay be, for all practical purposes, safely considered normal. (9) During/ the past year manuscripts reporting the results of some of the above-mentioned investigations have been prepared for publication.

APPENDIX No. 7 REPORT OF THE FISH INSPECTION LABORATORY (EAST), 1 HALIFAX, N.S., FOR THE YEAR 194445 By ERNEST HES,S, Ph.D. The work of the Fish Inspection Laboratory (East) for 1944-45 can be summarized under the following headings:— 1. GRADING Due to the fixing by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board of higher maximum prices of canned lobster, chicken haddie, and mackerel fillets for "Fancy grade" Government-inspected goods as coin.pared with other grades or ungraded lots, considerable •grading was carried out for the first time.. The following table gives a summary eovering a net total of 226 certificates issued:—

Number Grade Kind of Canned Fish of Full Cases Extra Fancy Below Submitted Fancy Standard Standard

Lobster 13,511 3-6 81 •3 15-1 Chicken Haddie 116,3311 81-5 13-2 5-3 Mackerel Fillets 4,055 96-5 3-5

The lob,ster submitted for grading represents only that part of the total pack that was allocated to the Canadian market (20 per cent). The grading procedures, i.e., the types of tests made, the different characteristics recorded for each can and its contents, the tolerances allowed, as well as the evaluation of the results of the examination for each can and for each I sample as a whole, as established by the laboratory, have proved to be very satisfactory in practice.

Re-grading : Appeals for the re-grading of two lots of canned lobster and 17 lots of chicken haddie were granted by the Minister. The lobster (total of 340 cases six ounce cans) were confirmed as Standard grade. Of the chicken haddie, of 96 1 in four lots (2,348 cases) the 'previous grading was confirmed, twelve lots (7,876-} eases) advanced in grade, and one lot (740 cases) was moved to a lower grade upon re-grading. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 101

2. INSPECTION (a) Quality: At the request of the Canadian Ex-port Board, canned mackerel (salmon- style) and herring offered for sale on account of UNRRA were inspected. Tentative standards for acceptable goods were drafted, submitted to the Cana- dian Export Board, and accepted. A total of 54,6031; full cases of mackerel, and 17,721-1 cases herring (plain, pound talls) were inspected. Of these, e per cent and 91 per cent, respectively, were within the acceptable standards of quality. The British Ministry of Food bought 21,6451- cases of Atlantic herring in tomato sauce subject to the inspection of the laboratory, as well as 20,000 cases of sardines in oil. Of 4,260 cases of lobster paste and tomalley submitted for sale to the Ministry of Food, 86 per cent were found acceptable according to standards established by the laboratory. (b) Weight: A total of 37 lots of canned fish (lobster 22, chicken haddie 4, mackerel 7, herring 2, mackerel, fillets and Atlantic salmon, one each) were found to be underweight, as determined from samples submitted for grading or inspection or from routine samples examined by the fisheries inspectors or the laboratory. Of 16 lots which were re-inspected, following appeals to the Minister, 10 lots were confirmed as underweight, and six lots were released as correct.

3. ROUTINE SAMPLES Samples of three cans each fram the various types of canned fish of all fish and shellfish canneries in the Maritimes were withdrawn at weekly or bi-monthly intervals during the various canning seasons between April 1 and September 1. A separate laboratory report was prepared for each sample and copies mailed to the canner .and local fisheries inspector concerned. During the winter all these reports were reviewed and all canners having submitted samples showing inferior quality or workmanship received personal letters ,pointing out such defects and their remedies. A total of 1,093 of such 3-can samples were inspected, namely: chicken haddie, 254, lobster paste and tomalley, 208, lobster, 193, mackerel, 151, clams (all kinds), 111, herring (plain), 75, sardines, 24, herring in tomato sauce, 17, herring (smoked) kippered snacks, 16, mackerel fillets, 14, Atlantic salmon, 12, Atlantic tuna, 8, finnan haddie, 4, gaspereau, 3, silversides, mussels and sha.d, one each. 4. FIELD WORK During the canning season all canneries in Prince Edward Island and. New Brunswick canning .chicken haddie, herring, summer- and fall mackerel, sardines, and lobster were visited from one to many times, invelving a total of over 400 calls. This covered routine visits to check on quality of fish used for canning and on canning technique,' as well as visits to canneries from which inferior routine samples or inferior samples .for grading or inspection had been received.

5. EDUCA'PIONAL Two refresher courses for fisheries inspectors on canning were held in May, 1944, at Shediac, N.B., and Summerside, P.E.I., respectively. The writer took part in two short courses for fishermen arranged .by St. Dunstan's University in November, 1944, in Prince County, P.E.I. 50160-8 102 DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES Circulars, originally prepared by the writer in the Atlantic Fisheries Experi- mental Station ,Canned Fish Circular series, were revised and re-issued to interested parties. They covered the canning of herring, mackerel, chicken haddie, lobster (Fancy grade), and shellfish. A new series of circulars, issued by the Fish Inspection Laboratory, has been started and two numbers distributed,: No. 1 "Enamelled Cans", No. 2 "Routine Samples".

6. RESEARCH A num:ber of canning research problems have been attacked during the winter .months. An investigation into the use of cereal filler in lobster paste and its rapid quantitative determination in the laboratory has led to the recommendation that such "fillers" should be limited to two per cent .by weight of the finished paste. A routine method to measure corrosion in unenamelled herring cans has been developed. This work led to the recommendation that all herring cans

.should .be enamel-lined to come within the "Fancy" and "Standard" quality grading definitions, and the general suggestion to the trade to pack all fish products in enamel-lined cans. • An investigation into the absorption of free moisture in canned chicken

«haddie has shown that the rate of cooling of the processed cans and the storage temperature have a definite effect upon the rate of absorption, the latter being increased by rapid cooling and low storage temperatures.

7. LIAISON WITH TRADE AND ADMINISTRATIVE BRANCH OF THE DEPARTMENT The laboratory has ,been in almost daily contact with the office of the Chief Supervisor of Fisheries. When in the field, the Director and staff have kept in constant contact with the fisheries supervisors and inspectors as rwell as with the assemblers and can manufacturers. All district conferences of the Depart- ment in December, 1944, were attended as well as the Supervisors' Conference in Ja,nuary, 1945. The Director also attended a canners' and assemblers' meeting at Amherst on August 1, 1944, the Annual Convention of the U.M.F. at Amherst on October 25-26, 1944, and he addressed the Commercial Club of Halifax on the subject of "Our Fish Canning Industry under Wartime Conditions".

FISHERIES STATISTICS OF CANADA 1944

(Prepared in collaboration with Dominion and Provincial Fisheries Departments)

Published by Authority of the Hon. James A. MacKinnon, M.P. Minister of Trade and Commerce

PREFACE 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 exercises jurisdiction over the fisheries of the Maritime provinces, Yukon Territory and British Columbia and the Fisheries Branches of departments of Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta which have jurisdiction over the fisheries of their respective provinces. 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 co-ordinated and compiled in the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. In the case of manufactured 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 accura• e return. The grateful acknowledgments of the Bureau are tendered to the officers of the provincial governments who co-operate in these arrangements. For reasons of economy, the volumes since 1938 omit certain reading matter and tables which were contained in the Introduction of earlier reports, among which may be mentioned the short history of the fisheries of Canada and the annual review of fishing conditions during the year. Statistics of external trade in fisheries products are limited to three summary tables, as detailed tables showing commodities by countries of import and export are presented in the publications of the External Trade Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Two new tables, showing the quantities of fish and shellfish landed since 1918, by main groups and by provinces, have been added to the Report and the table of conversion factors has been brought to the front of the volume. This report was prepared under the direction of Mr. W. H. Lanceley, Chief of the Fisheries and Animal Products Branch of the Bureau. HERBERT MARSHALL, Dominion Statistician. DOMINION BUREAU OF STATISTICS, OTTAWA, April 1, 1946.

CAPITAL EQUIPMENT AND EMPLOYEES IN PRIMARY OPERATIONS Capital.-The capital investment, represented by the vessels, boats, nets, traps, piers and wharves, etc., used in the primary operations of catching and landing the fish, had a total value in 1944 of $35,056,771, of which $28,483,968 or 81 per cent, is credited to the sea fisheries, and $6,572,803, or 19 per cent to the inland fisheries. The total amount shows an increase of $3,936,255 when compared with the year 1943. Employees.-The number of men engaged in fishing during the year was 64,208, comprising 46,421 employed in the sea fisheries and 17,787 in the inland fisheries. There was an increase of 2,749 persons from the previous year, sea fisheries showing a gain of 521 and inland fisheries one of 2,228. IN FISH PROCESSING Capital.-The capital investment of the fish processing plants in operation increased from $30,741,194 in 1943 to $32,266,989 in 1944. The salmon can- neiies claim the largest amount with $10,752,238 or 33 per cent of the whole. The relation which the capital of each classification bears to the total investment is shown by the following table of percentages: salmon canneries, 33 per cent; fish curing establishments, 20 per cent; sardine and other fish canneries, 16 per cent; fresh fish and freezing plants, 15 per cent; reduction plants, 10 per cent and lobster canneries, 5 per cent. The value of the clam canneries represents less than 1 per cent of the total. Employees.-The employees engaged in the fish processing plants in 1944 numbered 17,272, including 9,828 male and 7,444 female employees. This shows an increase of 1,373 when compared with 8,965 male and 6,934 female or 15,899 employees in 1943. Tables 3 to 6, which follow, contain summaries of capital equipment and employees in the primary operations and in fish processing establishments for Canada. Tables 12 and 13 give the same information by provinces. Statistics by counties and fishing districts will be found in Tables 32 to 44.

HISTORICAL REVIEW The six pages which follow afford a review of the fishing industry of Canada. Tables 14 and 15 show the quantities of fish and shellfish landed since 1918, by main groups and by provinces, respectively. Statistics of the total quantities of fish landed have not previously been given but the interest manifested in the total quantities of food available has rendered it advis- able to compile and publish these figures. In the case of the value of production, returns are given, by provinces, back to 1870. In the case of the number and value of vessels, boats, etc., the review extends to 1880, and in the case of the number of employees to 1895.

STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES 1944

(En collaboration avec les ministères des Pêcheries du Gouvernement fédéral et des Provinces)

Publié par ordre de l'Hon. James A. MacKinnon, Ministre du Commerce

OTTAWA EDMOND CLOUTIER, C.M.G., B.A., L.Ph., IMPRIMEUR DU ROI ET CONTRÔLEUR DE LA PAPETERIE 1946 • PRÉFACE Ce rapport est publié en vertu d'une entente établissant la collaboration en matière de statistique ente le Bureau Fédéral de la Statistique et les différents services gouvernementaux ayant juridiction sur les pêcheries cana- diennes. Ces services comprennent le Ministère Fédéral des Pêcheries, qui exerce sa juridiction sur les pêcheries des Provinces Maritimes, du Yukon et de la Colombie Britannique et les divisions des Pêcheries des provinces d'Ontario, Québec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan et Alberta, qui régissent les pêcheries de leurs provinces respectives. 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 au Ministère des Pêcheries, et condensées et compilées au Bureau Fédéral dé 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 directe- ment 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. Pour des raisons d'économie, les rapports depuis 1938 omettent certains textes et tableaux qui étaient contenus dans l'Introduction des rapports anté- rieurs et parmi lesquels on peut mentionner l'historique des pêcheries au Canada et le Résumé annuel des conditions de la pêche durant l'année. Les statistiques du commerce extérieur dans les produits de la pêche se limitent à trois tableaux somnnlires", car des tableaux détaillés montrant les produits par pays importateur et exportateur sont Présentés dans les publications de la Branche du Commerce Extérieur du Bureau Fédéral de la Statistique. Deux nouveaux tableaux montrant les quantités de poisson et de mollusques et crustacés débar- qués depuis 1918, par principaux groupes et par province, sont ajoutés au rapport. Le présent rapport a été préparé sous la direction de M. W. H. Lanceley, chef de la Branche des Pêcheries et des Produits Animaux du Bureau. HERBERT MARSHALL, Statisticien du Dominion

240 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES DU CANADA, 1944 La valeur globale de la production des pêcheries au Canada en 1944 est de $89,427,508, soit une augmentation de 4.5 p.c. sur le montant de $85,594,544 en 1943. Ces totaux représentent la valeur du produit mis sur le marché, qu'il soit vendu pour la consommation à l'état frais, de préparation domestique, ou conditionné à la fabrique. La quantité débarquée diminue de 4.6 p.c. ou de 12,358,241 cwt en 1943 à 11,791,456 cwt en 1944. Le tableau 1 donne la quantité prise et la valeur sur le marché des principales espèces commerciales de poisson (évaluées à $300,000 ou plus) pour les cinq dernières années, avec indication dans la dernière colonne de l'augmentation ou de la diminution en 1944, comparativement à 1943, tandis que le tableau 2 donne la quantité et la valeur de tout le poisson pris et vendu des années 1943 et 1944. 1.

t 276 STATISTIQUES DES PÊCHERIES PRIMES En vertu d'une "Loi pour encourager le développement des pêcheries maritimes et la construction des navires de pêche", une somme de $160,000 est donnée en primes chaque année par le Gouverneur en Conseil. Sous le nom de primes de pêches, elles sont distribuées par le Ministère des Pêcheries parmi les pêcheurs et les propriétaires de navires et barques de pêche du littoral de l'Atlanti- que selon les règlements édictés de temps à autre par le Gouverneur en Conseil. En 1944 les versements sont effectués sur la base suivante:- Aux propriétaires de navires de pêche ayant droit à cette prime, $1 par tonne enregistrée; avec un maximum de $80 par navire. A chaque membre de l'équipage ayant droit à la prime, $7.60. Aux propriétaires de barques mesurant au moins 12 pieds de quille, $1 par embarcation. A chaque pêcheur d'une barque ayant droit à une prime, $7.15. Le montant payé en 1944 est de $158,232.10, réparti comme suit: A 823 propriétaires de navires et leurs équipages $ 40,377.50 A 8,892 propriétaires de barques et leurs équipages $117,854.60

REVUE RÉTROSPECTIVE Les sept tableaux suivants présentent une revue rétrospective de l'industrie de la pêche au Canada. Les tableaux 14 et 15 donnent les quantités de poisson, de mollusques et de crustacés débarquées depuis 1918, par principaux groupes et par province respectivement. Les statistiques sur les quantités globales de poisson débarqués n'ont pas été données antérieurement mais l'intérêt mani- festé concernant les quantités de produits alimentaires disponibles rend op- portunes la compilation et la publication de ces statistiques. En ce qui concerne la valeur de la production, les données sont établies par province et re- montent jusqu'à 1870. Quant au nombre et à la valeur des navires, barques, etc., les chiffres partent de l'année 1880; le personnel qu'emploie cette industrie est donné depuis 1895. 14.
