ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1923 



51 



WATERS CLOSED TO COMMERCIAL FISHING 



No additional Executive orders were issued during the calendar 

 year 1923 in regard to waters of Alaska. The restrictions and 

 limitations imposed by previous orders of the Department of Com- 

 merce prohibited all commercial fishing in the streams and lakes 

 of Alaska and within a zone extending 500 yards oft' the mouths of 

 all streams, with the exception of the Ugashik and Karluk Rivers, 

 where, owing to peculiar geographic conditions, certain specific 

 districts remained open to fishing. Executive orders previously 

 issued remained in effect with regard to the Afognak Forest and 

 Fish Culture Reserve, Aleutian Islands Reservation, Yes Bay and 

 Stream, Annette Island Fishery Reserve, Alaska Peninsula Fish- 

 eries Reservation, including the waters of the Aleutian Islands 

 Reservation, and the Southwestern Alaska Fisheries Reservation. 



ALASKA PENINSULA FISHERIES RESERVATION 



In the season of 1923 fishery operations in the Alaska Peninsula 

 Fisheries Reservation were carried on under 12 formal permits 

 issued by the Secretary of Commerce, as shown in the table below, 

 which gives also the pack of canned salmon in the reservation. 

 A permit (No. 13) was issued also to George Albert, of Port Heiden, 

 for the salting of not to exceed 700 barrels of all species of salmon. 

 No fishing was done under this permit. Permit No. 70 was issued 

 to the Union Fish Co. for 10 stations and Permit No. 86 to the 

 Brown Fishing Co. for two stations for codfishing operations in 

 the reservation. In addition, 28 permits, of which 3 were for cod- 

 fishing, were issued by Agent Dennis Winn and Assistant Agent 

 Lemuel G. Wingard for minor fishery operations within the reserva- 

 tion. Most of the permittees sold their catch of salmon to canneries 

 in the respective districts.
