POI MC IO BLAME MERGANSERS Taking Steps To Boost Atlantic Salmon Supply By BEN WARD OTTAWA (CP) -. Federal ef- forts to increase the supply of Atlantic salmon -- undisputed king of Canadian game fish-- are being concentrated on two major projects this year. Biologists are counting on control of the fish-eating mer- ganser duck and the intensive search for a new killer of bud- worms to give a much-needed life to east coast salmon fish- ing. A five-year study has shown aod the merganser duck is the threat to baby salmon, which live in rivers for two to four years after hatching. The tiny salmon are the merganser's fa- vorite food. This season a control program has been started to reduce mer- gansers on Nova Scotia's Mar- garee River. It will continue for five years to determine whether this will increase the number of adult salmon returning from the sea to spawn in later years. KILLED BY DDT Studies by Dr. A. J. Erskine of the Canadian Wildlife Service already indicate merganser con- trol will allow more salmon to reach the four-inch smolt stage, at which they head for the ocean. Thus it appears certain more will be available to return in one or two years as grilse (up to six pounds) or adults (eight pounds and up). New ways of killing spruce and black-headed budworms are being studied to replace the present DDT spray. In 1954 and 1956 aerial DDT spraying destroyed young posing any serious} salmon by the thousands on New Brunswick's world-famed' Miramichi River:.The chemical, killed some fish outright and starved others to death by wip- ing out the insects that make up their chief source of food. Federal biologists are study-' ing several new insecticides, in- cluding a promising bacteria toxin, for a solution to this prob- lem. It has been partly solved' by cutting the strength of the' DDT spray to one-quarter pound per acre from the half-pound formula which proved so deadly. The diluted spray still kills the tree-killing budworm with less peril to water life. Fisheries men, however, still aren't satis- fied with DDT. NEED IS URGENT The urgency of the salmon program is apparent in the angl- ing statistics of recent years. The 1959 catch was 65,048 fish in 157,848 rod days, or 4.1 fish for every 10 days of fishing. Last year only 26,487 fish were taken in 126,761 rod days, 2.1 fish per 10 days. : Figures for 1962 won't be available for several months but little change is expected. Not all the decrease is blamed on ducks and DDT. Hydro dams and pollution by mining wastes also have taken a toll of salmon but their threat is much less serious, Scientists of the fisheries de- partment and the wildlife serv- ice have decided that the great- est loss occurs while the baby salmon are in the rivers. A higher survival rate at this stage is the key to increase of tackle-busting adult salmon.
