BUREAU OF FISHERIES DEVELOPES
NEW FOODJUPPLY ON PACIFIC
Washington, D. C., March 29—
During the summer of 1914 the de
partment of commerce, through the
bureau of fisheries, conducted an
exploration of certain fi-»iie/y
grounds off the coast of Oregon ana
Washington to determine, particu
larly, if halibut were present in suf
ficient quantities to support a fish
ery. The fishery steamer Albatross
was used for this survej. The sur
vey covered, as well as time permit
tod, the area in shore of the 100
fathom curve, from just north of
Grays Harbor, Wash., nearly to
Cape Blanco, Ore. A halibut ground
of some value was found off New
port, Ore., covering an area of ap
proximately 250 square miles. The
run of fish on this bank reaches its
maximum in August and September,
but apparently Is of commercial im
portance as early as June, and prob
ably some halibut could be taken
in the latter part of April. As au
immediate result of the Albatross
findings, fishermen made 21 trips
to the ground, taking about 850,
000 pounds of halibut, valued at
about ?24,000. Trips yielding 40,
1 «»oo pounds were made in four daya
or less. Irrespective of the abun
! dance of fish, weather conditions,
' -ud the lack of harboTB will inhi
bit fishing excepting from April to
1 October. Several smaller areas off
! Grays Harbor and Coos Bay may
' be expected to produce halibut in
limited numbers; and the entire
j coast of Oregon was found to
abound in flounders, soles, rock
j cod, and black cod—a valuable food
supply when market conditions war
! rant 'ts exploitation.
I The report on the investigation,
with charts, will soon be issued, and
| may be obtained on application to
