$150 well. spent : “in fisheries program

Editor, Castlegar News: Iwas rather surprised to see in last week's issue of

Castlegar News that my article under the byline “Re- source Talk” on page A7 was cut off at a rather unfor- tunate point.

+ It made it seem that the only result of the $150 million Salmonid Enhancement Pro- gram was the placing of a few boulders in a river on Van- couver Island.

The last sentence in your printed version introduced an example showing how new technology developed in con- junction with the program has helped fisheries. biol- ogists solve a previously vexatious problem. The con- elusion to the article should have read:

; . “What has been done so far in the Salmonid Enhance- ment Program? On the north- east coast) of Vancouver ‘Island fisheries _ biologists have used helicopters to plant large boulders, up to a ton in size, in groups of three | to seven in Keogh River, where they provide back- water sanctuaries for fry and fingerling fish that would otherwise be swept to the

ocean. “By using the helicopter

head have allowed biologists to trace where these fish go

to spawn. This information

has already led to the ‘re-, moval of an old wooden dam

on Deadman River, that was . found to be blocking three of

the fish.

“The many other proj. -

ects already completed or still to be done promise an exciting future for the sal- monid species ther or not: the Salmonid Enhancement Program is able to dopble the production . of salmon from present lev- - els, the rehabilitation of many doomed stocks is sure | to put a wide smile on the face of. both the commercial and sports fisherman.”
