ing the Ottawa group was Dr. | R. R. Logie, assistant federal de- | puty minister of fisheries. A | native of New Brunswick, Dr. Logie was formerly a senior_of- |

Halifax before his appointment to Ottawa last summer,

Mr. Homans, a fisheries tech- | nologist who has written many | articles on the science of fish- | eries, looked back on 1965 as an | outstanding year in fisheries and [looked ahead to another big iyear during 1966. | He was impressed by the sub- stantial additions made to the fishing fleet, both inshore and | offshore, last year. He also noted the increase in the num- ‘ber of new fishing plants and | improvements and . expansions to existing plants. | | One of the pioneers in fish qua- | lity control progress in Canada, | ‘Mr. Homans said the mainten- ance of quality equal to or bet- | ‘ter than Canada’s competitors | |in the world markets for fish- ery products, was essential at !all times to ensure satisfied cus-

strides had been {njade in re- fish’ plant | construction a improvement | ‘in equipment and operating me- | 'thods to existing plants. But /more is. to be done.

“During the past year and in) the year ahead, increased effort | ‘has and will result in still fur- | 'ther improvements to ensure. that quality of products and fish |plant operations are maintain- ed,’ he asserted. ‘Compulsory ‘plant registration with associa- |ted minimum standards for con- struction, equipment, operating 'methods is scheduled to come’! into operation on April 7, 1967.”’ |

POLLUTION : 4

Turning to the increasing gra- | |vity of water pollution and its associated evils, Mr. Homans | 'said that: pollution from eff- luent of mines, pulp mills, in- | dustrial wastes and domestic se- | wage created problems of grave }econcern to ‘the ‘department’s scientific agency responsible for the management of inland fish- ery resources. Added. to that were forest spraying operations which also were the cause of much concerh.

“The planned additional dam- |ming of waterways has neces-, sitated investigations to. find ways and meahs of ensuring that adequate provision is made to ‘protect anadromous (fish ” ee as salmon, alewives,, rete; i habiting both fresh’ and salt wa- ter) fish populations.

Mr. Homans was encouraged

ing between his department and water authorities of the three provincial governments. ‘'Fish- eries; industry and the publicain general will benefit as a result of such liaison,’’ he emphasiz-

his department and the Fisher- ies Research Board of Canada. A similar close relation’ was maintained with provincial. fish- eries agencies. 3

Turning back to 1965's excel- Jent fishing record, Mr. Homas stressed that ‘‘we must remain aware of the fact that, in cer- tain cases, this was accompli- shed through overall increased fishing effort and not through increased catches per unit of ef- fort.’’
