The effect of a successful year bene- fits most people in the area, either directly or indirectly, and exports help to meet Canada’s balance of payments in foreign currencies.” Mr. Homan’s talk keynoted the opening of the four day ses- sion.

R. Logie, assistant federal de- | puty minister of fisheries. A | native of New Brunswick, Dr. Logie was formerly a senior_of- | Halifax before his appointment to Ottawa last summer, Mr. Homans, a fisheries tech- | nologist who has written many | articles on the science of fish- | eries, looked back on 1965 as an | outstanding year in fisheries and [looked ahead to another big iyear during 1966. | He was impressed by the sub- stantial additions made to the fishing fleet, both inshore and | offshore, last year. He also noted the increase in the num- ‘ber of new fishing plants and | improvements and . expansions to existing plants. | | One of the pioneers in fish qua- | lity control progress in Canada, | ‘Mr. Homans said the mainten- ance of quality equal to or bet- | ‘ter than Canada’s competitors | |in the world markets for fish- ery products, was essential at !all times to ensure satisfied cus- strides had been {njade in re- fish’ plant | construction a improvement | ‘in equipment and operating me- | 'thods to existing plants. But /more is. to be done. “During the past year and in) the year ahead, increased effort | ‘has and will result in still fur- | 'ther improvements to ensure. that quality of products and fish |plant operations are maintain- ed,’ he asserted. ‘Compulsory ‘plant registration with associa- |ted minimum standards for con- struction, equipment, operating 'methods is scheduled to come’! into operation on April 7, 1967.”’ | POLLUTION : 4 Turning to the increasing gra- | |vity of water pollution and its associated evils, Mr. Homans | 'said that: pollution from eff- luent of mines, pulp mills, in- | dustrial wastes and domestic se- | wage created problems of grave }econcern to ‘the ‘department’s scientific agency responsible for the management of inland fish- ery resources. Added. to that were forest spraying operations which also were the cause of much concerh. “The planned additional dam- |ming of waterways has neces-, sitated investigations to. find ways and meahs of ensuring that adequate provision is made to ‘protect anadromous (fish ” ee as salmon, alewives,, rete; i habiting both fresh’ and salt wa- ter) fish populations. Mr. Homans was encouraged ing between his department and water authorities of the three provincial governments. ‘'Fish- eries; industry and the publicain general will benefit as a result of such liaison,’’ he emphasiz- DIAL 4-3013 ed. ‘‘It must be always remem- ~\jemed that water ia te= —~---* §-- o his department and the Fisher- ies Research Board of Canada. A similar close relation’ was maintained with provincial. fish- eries agencies. 3 Turning back to 1965's excel- Jent fishing record, Mr. Homas stressed that ‘‘we must remain aware of the fact that, in cer- tain cases, this was accompli- shed through overall increased fishing effort and not through increased catches per unit of ef- fort.’’ ANTLER CORDAGE LIMITED P.
