DFO research cruise fin! high seas pomfret, not salmon
DFO researchers testing for salmon more than 1,200 miles southwest of Vancouver have discovered the fish travel further south than it was earlier believed.
The team returned home in mid-July after a six week stint in an area that touched on the northern boundary for the large Japanese squid fishery.
OBITUARIES
But Nanaimo biological station scientest Robin Le Brasseur says the real find was not the limited salmon in this area, but millions of pounds of pomfret, a small bass-like fish which could be harvested commercially.
He said the earlier indications were that salmon were not found south of 43 degrees north in the
Axel Strom
Axel Strom, an honorary UFAWU member and one of its strongest supporters for more than three decades, passed away Aug. 4, 1988. He was 79.
Strom started his career in the fishing industry during the 1930s working on packers for B.C. Packers and Nelson Bros.
He started work at the Ogden Point plant operated by B.C. Packers in the early 1950s and remained there for the next 23 years until his retirement.
During that time he served his fellow Victoria workers in many capacities, including shop steward, secretary of the local and
bargaining committee representative.
His fairness and sense of humour won him many friends in the industry and earned him the respect of all who crossed his path.
He was also a member of the Fishermen's Reserve, the organization which patrolled the coast during the Second World War.
Strom is survived by his wife Josephine, his son Robert and his wife, his daughter Marion, two grandchildren and his sister Mabel of Vancouver.
A memorial service was held Aug. 9 at the Lutheran Church of the Cross in Victoria.
Jim Waugh
10 • THE FISHERMAN / AUGUST 19,1988
James Waugh, one of the industry's most senior shorework-ers, passed away Aug. 13. He was 66 years old.
Born in Summerberry Saskatchewan in 1922, Waugh moved west with his family during the depression.
He became the youngest lineman on the coast when he went to work with his father at the Goose Bay cannery in Rivers Inlet in the early 1930's.
Although he fished for several years, he rejoined the Canadian Fishing Company in 1947 and would continue with them until
Helvi Silda
Members of the UFAWU's North Delta Local and North Delta Auxiliary gathered for a memorial service Aug. 17 to mourn the passing of Helvi Silda, a veteran of the fishing industry who did much to further organization of fishermen and shoreworkers.
After a sudden stroke Aug. 6, Silda died Aug. 13 at Surrey Memorial Hospital. She was 75.
Born in Finland on Jan. 17, 1913, she emigrated to this country at the age of 10 with her family and settled in Comox. At the age of 20 she married Bill Silda, who was to be her husband for 55 years.
For several years after their marriage, she worked at Goose Bay cannery and later fished with Bill in Rivers Inlet during the 1940s. Throughout her life
he was forced to retire because of a disability in 1967.
Waugh married his wife Barbara in 1951 and they raised their family at Port Albion until it closed in 1967.
He transferred to the Home Plant where he maintained the box-up operation there and at the new warehouse on Marine Drive until his retirment.
He joined the union at an early age and was a long-time supporter.
He is survived by his wife Barbara, four sons, Garry, Richard, Randy and Ron. He is also survived by nine grandchildren.
she was a strong supporter of the UFAWU and the Auxiliary.
She is survived by her husband, her three daughters — Vivian Oswald, Elaine Lof and Lillian Baer — and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
western Pacific, lests conducted the previous two years have shown salmon as far south as 40 degrees and Le Brasseur says even that may not be the southern boundary for salmon. But he adds the research was looking at the fringes of the salmon migration in the ocean. The vast majority of salmon never reach this far south.
Despite the fact the squid fishery moves up as high as 46 degrees north, Le Brasseur dismisses concerns that large amounts of salmon was being taken by the squid fleet with its miles of gillnets.
"Rarely would they pick up salmon, but that's a personal view and not a scientific one," he said. "We certainly don't know how many they are taking."
Le Brasseur said the testing was not geared to show the volume of salmon, but the species and extent of migration patterns.
The most commonly caught fish was pink, followed by juvenile chums.
The Japanese fishery starts in June at 40 N, but moves up to 46 N several months later. The shift north corresponds with the migration of salmon towards land according to Le Brasseur.
Studies conducted by the University of Washington researchers in 1984 estimated that as much as 10 percent of the stock originating in North America is intercepted by the high seas fishery.
A 1981 study conducted by the International Pacific Fisheries Commission estimated that 90,000 chinook were captured by foreign fleets.
An outcry has also grown up in the last few years by environmentalists claiming that 5,000 porpoises and 750,000 seabirds are destroyed by the 382 vessels which set 4,897 kilometres of net every night.
Researchers also returned home with pomfret, a small fish which they found in abundance.
Le Brasseur said the fish is being distributed to local fish processors for consideration of lauching a commercial venture.
In the past pomfret has been found to be unviable commercially because the stock has not been consistent, but he said in fact it could be harvested 50 miles offshore.
