CANADA PAIR SEINE NETTING PROVES GREAT SUCCESS News of 5,000-10,000-pound catches of hake and sole in 1 hour has become common- place around Prince Edward Island. These astounding results have been achieved by an entirely new technique, 'Canadian pair-seine netting.' Similar to Spanish Pair-Trawling The technique is similar to the 'pareja' pair trawling commonly used by large Spanish deep-sea trawlers in the north Atlantic. In the Canadian version, 2 110-hp. diesel engine 40-foot lobster boats tow a single net between them. The net is funnel-shaped, somewhat like a regular otter trawl, but with a higher vertical opening. Two winches, one on each boat, haul the net. The skippers, coordinating operations by radiotelephone, can make as many as 8 tows a day. Inexpensive Conversion Small-boat fishermen will find two great advantages in the new technique: the ma- chinery and gear needed for vessel commis- sion are relatively inexpensive, and the power requirements are low compared to those of regular draggers. It also will enable lobster- men to use their boats during the many off- season months. Other low-powered inshore vessels also can use the techniques. A full report, including machinery and gear specifications, and a description of the fishing method with diagrams, photographs, and catch records should be available short- ly.

It was intended to in- crease the earning power of salmon fisher- men and permit better resource management. Regulations expected to reduce fleet size and production costs divided salmon vessels into 3 categories: 'A' for those pro- ducing annually over 10,000 pounds, or a.
