24 Terrace Review — Wednesday, August.19, 1987 ‘*we’re changing that.”’ . He said he hoped the province will cooperate with the federal government in ‘its efforts to develop hatcheries and spawning channels for sports fish, ‘‘to boost -the proporation of steelhead, chinook, and coho back up to their traditional share, so we don’t have every- thing out of balance the way it appears to have gone in the last little while,”’ Chamut added to the minis- ter’s comments by saying that the ministry is aware of the problem and he felt they have been successful in correcting the situation to a certain degree by modifying the timing of com- mercial fishing openings to minimize the incidental catch of _ Sports fish. _ “If you look at the escape- ment figures for coho, chinook and steelhead, they have been going up. So I think that it’s fair to say that the management that has been carried out has had some success in insuring that the incidental catch of steelhead has been reduced,’’ Chamut said. In a subsequent interview, Tom Protheroe, who represents and Northwest on the Sports Fisheries Advistory Board, said there have been a number of fac- tors involved in the decline of the steelhead population, but he pointed to the commercial fisheries incidental catch as the number one culprit... He said a trap and weir, in- "river type of seléctive harvesting, is one of many possible solutions. to preventing the commercial in-- - cidental catch. ~ : Protheroe said he didn’t believe hatcheries were. the _answer, saying that the Babine Lake hatchery is where the prob- lem started in the first place, and that timing the opening of the commercial fishery isn’t work- ing.
