Fish giveaway
was popular

IT WAS the first ever big
salnion giveaway on the
north coast and organizers
wish they could do it every
year.

A selective fishery to trace
. coho migration and test the
viability of alternate barvest
techniques caught less than
half of the 40,000 fish tt
targetted. ,

But Tsimshian — Tribal
Council president Bob Hill
said all 16,550 | salmon
caught were: distributed to
both native communities
along the Skeena and non-
natives in the Prince Rupert
area,

Hf more fish bad been
caught, ‘he added, some
would have been sent to
Terrace for distribution to
tion-natives here,

You wouldn't believe
the lineups,”’ said Hill, who
said hundreds of people,
many of them non.
Tsimshian, crowded the
cocks in Port Edward to
pick up free fish,

“I couldn't believe. the
hunger of our communities
for these fish,’’ he added, ‘*1
wish I could do this kind of
fishery every year.’”

Hill said the demand
Incant they had to limit the
number of salmon to about
10 per person, and as high
as 15 or 20 on days when
there were big catches.

‘He said they also shipped
about 1,000 salmon in ice-
packed totes upriver to the
Hazelton areas Where
Gitksan and Wet’suwet’en
elders have been unable to
gel food fish this year,

Hill said it was the first
ever large scale food
fishery, which normally
consist of fishing by indi-

vidual natives for personal
use for food, social and

ceremonial reasons.
It was performed by both
native and non-native com-

mercial fishermen, with par-
ticipation from the Tsim-
shian Tribal Council, the
Northern Gillnetiers Associ-
alion, the Native Brother-
hood of B.C, and the United
Fishermen and = Allied
Workers Union.

The Department of
Fisheries and Oceans paid
most of the $478,000 to
cover the expenses of the
boat operators and crews.

Half the fish were sock-
eye, with the balance con-
sisting of a mix of other
species, he said.

Department of Fisheries
and Oceans spokesman
David Einarson said the 10-
day fishery was closely
monitored, adjusled and
ultimately halted a day early
on July 31 to avoid ex-
cessive caches of coho.

“There’s a lot of data and
it will take us a while to an-
alyze it,” he said,

“! couldn't believe
the hunger of our
communities for
these fish. | wish |
could do this kind
of fishery every
year.”

All fish were being
released at the beginning of
the experiment, Einarson
said, but added when slrong
stocks of sockeye appeared
the Tsimshian were given
approval to keep the fish.

They were all counted
against the Tsimshian com-
munal fishing licence for
food fish, he said, adding
the nalives are entitled to
give the salmon away as
long as they don’t charge
for it.

“They own the fish and
they can give them away,”
he said,
