International INTERNATIONAL PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES COMMISSION REVIEW OF 1957 ERASER RIVER SOCKEYE SALMON RUN: The 1957 Fraser River sockeye salmon run represents a drastic departure in timing from that of the previous cycle in 1953, according to an August 19, 1957, news release for the Inter- national Pacific Salmon Commission. It was much later and spread over a much longer period of time. This char- acteristic change was anticipated because of a different moon phase, but to a lesser degree than actually occurred. The regulatory tendency in such a situation is to underes- timate the size of the run from week to week. The size of fish was expected to be small on the 1957 cycle but the fish were smaller than expect- ed--averaged pounds for the Canadian gill-net catch and pounds for United States gill-net catch. The difference in weight is due to the minimum mesh restriction for United States gill nets. The current purse-seine SALMON PURSE-SEINER.
