Fish were capricious this year- as in many another year-with the result that Canadian otanmercial fishing was down somewhat from 1054.

This did not cause great concern in the industry as a whole. be- cause the long-term curve of fish production is up-and this year's dip is not considered a reversal of the trend.

A small British Columbia sock- eye salmon pack-which did cause concern-and a drop in Atlantic codfisb were the main downward items.

LATE RECOVERIES

An earlier steep decline in Brit- ish Columbia herring. partly due to auleement difficulties bettwen op- erators and fishermen, was largely made up in late-year fishing.

New Brunswick sardines. strangely missing in tin summer and early fall. put in a late appear- ance and much of the earlier loss was recovered.

In 1054. 1,000,000,000 pounds of fish were landed in Cdnsda with a value to fishermen of about 90.- I 000.000 and a marketed value of Sl85,000.000.

This year's landings are ex- pected to be down about 100,000,000 '1 35' pounds and landed values to fisher-

men by ,000,000 or 84,000,000.

About wo-thirds of Canada's fish production is exported, with about 75 per cent of the exports going to the United States.

LOBSTER RESEARCH .

Among miscellaneous activities. the lederai fisheries department is doing research into the movement of lobsters. It holds that lobsters stick close to home waters and that it is to'the fisberl.'nan's own advantage to toss back the smaller ones. Some fishermen are sceptical and this year the department tagged 8,000 lobsters in an attempt to prove its point.

Advissbillty of using metal lob- ster traps instead of the tradi- tional wooden ones ia being probed. Smaller losses in storms are claimed for the metal traps.
