that may be because there

The towns people .were

worried that the armedinen -

People generally stayed off

was asked if he was with the
soldiers he said nervously: .

Meanwhile the officers at

Terrace was by rail and a

The real Gatch es for the.

Kitimat hatchery is largest

Kitimat's new hatchery
will be the biggest in the -
Province according to Dave
MacNell, hatchery
manager — big In terms of
the numbers of fish it plans
to produce.

Construction for the new _.

facility. is slated to start in
May or June, Currently the
building site is being rip-

rapped with large ground»

rocks for flood protection.

MacNeil says that’ once
the hatchery is in operation
all five species of Pacific
salmon will be raised and
eventually up to 10 people
will be employed full time.
’ The Kitimat hatchery will
be different from others in
the province because
salmon will net be

encouraged to return tothe ~

hatchery. Rather, the fish
culturiste are hoping that
the salmon will return to th

streams they were taken
from. .Fish will be taken

‘Although the site of the
hatchery is “‘not all that
great” an area in terms of
the requirements of salmon
fry, MacNeil feels - Kitimat
was chosen because stocks
in‘the area are 60 low. A
prime requirement for a
guccesaful hatchery. is to
have a good source of
ground water and the water —
available at the Kitimatsite
is‘ not warm enough nor
abundent enough to be
considered ideal.

“Hatcheries ore ‘just a.

tool,” MacNeil said. when
responding to criticism that
they often foster mutant
salmon or could possibly be
responsible for weakening
the fish's genetic pool.

Hatcheries alone can't

replenish the salmon stock:
MacNeil feels that fisheries .
management, . the:
environment, pollution, .
hydro and urban
development all have to he
taken into consideration and
dealt with before the
situation can approach
anything which might be
considered normal".

Hatcheries, or fish
enhancement projects have
a long history - MacNeil
points out that hatcheries
were in use 4,000 years ago
in China,

While there is no absclute
guarantee against disease

In the hatchery, MacNeil”

feels -that it won't bé a
problem if the environment

is kept clean and proper:
culturist techniques are
observed, —
’ MacNeil. labeled the .
salmonid enhancement
project a “crash program”.
"My job is ta operate the
hatchery so it will produce
fish,” esid MacNeil. “We
could philosophize forever
about what went wrong in
the past but now we have to
do something."
MacNeil feels that the ©
hatchery in Kitimat is a
reasonably well thought out
“We'll have problems,”
sald MacNeil, ‘‘There will
be good things and bad
things but most of it will be
good.” Sot
