OTTAWA (OP) Fisheries scientists told Tuesday how they hope to build up Canada's 8600,- o00-a-year scallop industry on the east coast with discovery of new grounds and development of new gear.

The reports were made" at the opening session of the four-day annual meeting of the fisheries re- search board attended by directors of the board's seven research sta- tions on the east and west coasts and in Winnipeg.

NEW BED FOUND The scientists reported that a new scallop bed on the northern part of St. Pierre bank in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. discovered in 1953. yielded 060.000 worth of scallops in the first six months of last year. Another promising area for s lim- ited fishery has been found on the southeast part of Browns Bank off southern Nova acctls.

Prior to these finds the main commercial scallop fishery was in the Day of Fundy around Digby,

'Plan To Boost Scallop Industry

N.S. Scientists there called in naval divers to make underwater obser- vations. The divers confirmed the scient.lsts' belief that the drags used to catch the scallops actually collect only a small proportion of the bivalves in their path.

These scoop fish from the ocean floor in cone-shaped nets and bring the catch quickly to port for the more lucrative fresh fish trade.

Scientists tried small motorized craft equipped with mechanical winches to replace the old dory in which fishermen spent long hours handling lines by hand. Four 23- foot powered boats were built and placed on movesbls cradles aboard a schooner for a. trial run.

However, difficulty was experi- enced with the equipment used to lift' the boats off and on the schooner": deck. particularly in rough weather. The scientists de- cided improvements are required before. the 'new method can be recommended.

However. it is understood that on the Washington talks may hinge the fate not only of the Geneva negotiations but possibly the fu- ture of the 3'1-country pact set up seven years ago to boost world trade by a network of tariff cuts and agreements among countries to abide by fair trade rules.

PLUG LOOP HOLES

Member countries at Geneva are attempting to reach agreement on plugging GATI” loopholes to reduce escape clauses under which coun- tries could breach their tariff agreements and to get countries to reduce the use of import restric- tions.

The U. s.. it is understood. sup- ports a reduction of imports but only in a way that does not sf- fect her own restriction policies. she wants countries to reduce the use of curbs imposed because dollar and other exchange short- ages. That would affect Britain and most. of the sterling area.

But she wants to increase rath- er than reduce the powers of coun- tries to impose curbs when they have internal production surplus problems. Because of heavy sur- pluses, the U. S. has imposed im- port. restrictions on grains and dairy products, Canada and some other countries have charged that these curbs are breaches of US. agreements under GA'1'r. The US. has shown no indications that she will reduce them.
