Page 2, The Heraid, Monday, March 16, 1981 Oyester farmers become * happy as little clams VICTORIA (CP) + BC. oyster farmers are as happy as clams. , For 15 years they watched the province's oyster in- sustry deteriorate. Now, the federal and B.C, govern- ments have begun a five- year plan to increase pro- suction of the succulent bi- valves and introduce new space-saving growing methods. 5, By 1985, the 9 farmers hope to double their anmual crop to about 5,000 tonnes to keep pace with British ‘Columbians’ . increasing {appetites for the tender shellfish. j During the 75 years. that 4B, C. has had a commercial oyster industry, most young oysters or oyster seeds were Vancouver Island between Nanaimo and Courtenay. | However, the B.C. coast is not well endowed with these large, flat, well-protected tidal areas. So the govern- ments have sunk $250,000 into a three-year experiment of the raft or long-line growing method new used in France, Norway and Japan. This method, which produces. marketable oysters in about 18 months, susperis oyster cultures on long ropes beneath rafts in sheltered bays and coves, says Lorne Clayton, an oyster biologist with the marine resources branch of the B.C. environment ministry. Oyster cultures oo ropes grow faster because food is more accessibie than on the DB. Quayle. Clayton says oysters ‘simply plopped on to a beach ‘ond allowed to grow to maturity, a minimum of three years. + More than 4,900 hectares of B.C. beaches still are nour- 4shing oysters this way, primarily near Baynes Sound, off the east coast of beaches.

WINNIPEG (CP) — provincial government will try to plug a loophole in the Landlord and Tenant Act that permits huge rent in- creases, Consumer Affairs Minister Gary Filmon says. The act ended a provincial rent control program last year and established new regulations for adjudicating increases. But its wording has grounded appeals from 13 residents of a city apart- ment block who are angry about $100 rent increases. The act defines an ex- cessive rent increase as one substantially above the rents charged for comparable : housing. Landlords could therefore impose increases INTRODUCING WOODGREEN APARTMENTS. } 4832 Laxelle Ave. Rental Applications are new being faken for occupancy March 1, 1981.
