JAPANESE OYSTERS GIVEN A
TRIAL IN ALASKAN WATERS.
Feeling very optimistic that Jap
anese oysters could be raised or
grown in Aaskan waters, P. F. Har
ey has harvested thirty quarts and
expects to harvest one hundred qu
arts in alii which will be sold locally
this fall.
Three years ago Mr. Harley ship
ped in about 25 boxes of Japanese
oyster spawn direct from Japan
which he planted near his home in
th South end of \Vranged Narrows,
choosing the spot where the watet
was shallow enough to be a higher
temperature than water flowing in
deep parts in the Narrows and bays.
He believes that oysters could bo
sueceasluliy raised in Alaska but
the growth is slow and many ob
stacles make it almost impossible
to raise them profitably.
Last winter during the cold
weather and freezing of water in the
Narrows much of the oyster clusters
were removed in t^je ice and floated
away front the oyster beds. This
summer with the great amount of
warm weather the oysters that re
mained have grown very rapidly
making it possible to commence
harvesting this fall.—Alaska Fishing
News.
