SEA OTTER AND LAND OTTER 117 



Kadiak was credited with 6000 a year, Oonalaska with 3000, the 

 Commander Islands with about 5000. 



And so while an optimist may deprecate the possibility of high 

 prices exterminating certain types of fur-bearing wild life, Sea Otter 

 is an argument on the other side for fur farming, game preserves, 

 closed seasons and international treaty to conserve any fur deplet- 

 ing down to the point of exhaustion.
