Fisheries make all out effort [$230,000 for the arts! to collect Kokanee eggs

Fisheries management staff have placed a tempor- ary fence across Redfish Creek in an all out effort to collect kokanee eggs this fall. A target, of 500,000 eggs has been set for this year's collection in what can be des- cribed as an emergency plan to rapidly improve the West Arm kokanee fishery.

The egg’ will be col- lected during the next month

and fertilized on-site. The plan then calls for 350,000 eggs t tobe | transported tothe

per cent survival rate for the 500,000 eggs, therefore, a total of some 850,000 fry are d into

for incu- bation and rearing. The fry will be returned to Redfish Creek next spring. The re- maining 150,000 eggs will be incubated at Redfish creek in a temporary hatchery facil- ity. Fisheries Biologist, H. Andrusak, anticipates a 70

d to

the West Arm next spring. Natural production’ in Red- fish Creek is only seven per cent hence the same number of eggs (0.6 million) would yield only 35,000 fry.

The public is reminded that it is unlawful to fish or molest kokanee in streams.

The awarding of an an- nual sustaining grant to the Canadian Conference of the Arts (CCA) in the amount of $230,000 in order to help facilitate its ongoing oper- ations has been announced by Secretary ‘of State Francis Fox.

Backup fire service to the Castlegar Airport by the City of Castlegar is no longer in effect and has not been since July 13.

‘This fact has been confir- med by Mayor Audrey Moore who said that a letter dated June 24, in which the city.en- closed its final copy ci the proposed fire-fighting agreement, warned that

“should this agreement not be accepted by July 31, 1980: our fire protection serviced: will be canceled.”

No reply has been forth- coming.

Interior sawmills get less even with higher chip prices.

A move by the government to get up to $60 million a year more from the sale of B.C, interior wood chips is putting pressure on pulp mills to pay more for their chip supply.

Sawmill operators say even with more money for chips, a change in government timber pricing will mean a drop in net revenue for them.

This spring the province got out of setting interior prices for wood chips,

The government also ammended a “chip direction” policy which required sawmills with cutting rights in timber originally granted to pulp mills to sell chips to those pulp mills.

Now sawmills need only a right-of- first-refusal from the pulp mill,

The original policy changes prom- ised more money for sawmillers who

.were getting about half the price paid

for chips by coast pulp mills where there was no government control of pricing.

But the good news evaporated with another change in government. policy recommended in July.

In a white paper on Crown timber pricing, the forest ministry recom- mended that by April 1982 90 per cent of the average market price of wood chips be included in the stumpage

isal formula, to dete how much forest companies pay to cut Crown timber.

Forest ministry officials said that in a “good year,” they expect to collect at least another $60 million in interior stumpage payments with the recom- mended change.

They also claim the chip price changes in the stumpage formula are long overdue.

However sawmill operators say it will mean considerably less incomo to them from chip sales, and that in turn will affect current pricing negotiations with pulp mills,
