EXPEDITIONTO "STUDY HALIBUT "ommission Will Determine if Fishing is Depleting Supply 'Prince Rupert, B.C. -- The deepsea jaliblat, which fof centuries has man- wed to Jide his mysteries to man- kind, is! get about as much priv. acy these days as the goldfish. The latest intruder upon the hali- but's seclusion is an expedition or- ized by the International Halibut ' mmission headed 2] Harry Dunlop, formerly of Vancouver and + graduate of the University of Brit- ish Columbia, The. expedition sailed on .the steam schooner Dorothy. re- ~ sently from this port and will spend most of the summer ig the Bering Sea and other regions figuring in the arivate affairs of Mr. and Mrs, Hali- but: ; . This project is a direct result of the halibut treaty signed between the United States and Canada recently at Ottawa. i Work undertaken by the expedi- tion include . tagging of fish; study of movement and growth; de- termination of halibut pdpulation in Bering Sea and decision as to wheth- er present fishing operations are de- pleting this particular breeding ground. Every fish taken aboard during the voyage will be examined and if in good condition will be tagged, meas- ured and then released. If the fish is caught again, biologists can deter- mine the amount of its growth, and the spot where it is caught the sec- ond time reveals the general direc- tion of fish migration. Every fish hauled aboard the Dorothy will be utilized for some research purpose. USE MACHINE GUNS ON THE SEA LIONS Mammals Cause Great Dam- age Along British * Columbia Coast Victoria, B.C.~Machine guns and rifles are again being brought to bear against the herds of sea lions which congregate in British Columbia coast al waters and cause great yearly loss to salmon and other commercial fish, For several years an expedition has been equipped with firearms and sent against the sea lion hordes. Every year hundreds of the mammals are shughtered on their various rooker- jes, but in spite of the losses suffer- ed by the herds there are invariably a sufficient number left. to cause widespread destruction to the salmon run. The fisheries patrol cruiser Giv- enchy carried the sea lion expedition this vear. In her bow was mounted a machine gun with a guner in charge whose first experience was in the trenches of Northern France when the object of attack was Ger- man infantry. Léndings this vear were made on the Virgin and Pearl Rocks, where last year a heavy toll was taken of the marauders. Ravages on both fish and gear by sea lions has constituted an import: ant problem for the fisheries depart- ment, a5 a single sea lion can do hundreds of dollars worth of damage in a couple of days. # LONDON AGOG COURT PRESENTATION OF WOMAN CANCELLED London, June 9.
