The United States Section of the Commission on Novem- ber 8 issued this report to the press; A large increase in scientific studies to determine origin and distribution of Pacific salmon in the sea was decided upon by the United States, Canada, and Japan at the October 31-November 5 meeting of the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission in Tokyo, according to the United States Section and their advisers. The United States Section for its part decided upon in- creased emphasis on ocean tagging as one of the lines of in- vestigation offering good prospect of an early answer to the paramount problem, which is: determination of the origin and distribution of the salmon of the Pacific. At the same time the United States Section vrill continue other scientific studies seeking to distinguish American and Asiatic salmon: research fishing and sampling to determine distribution of the salmon in the sea; study of racial charac- teristics which may reveal physical differences; oceanogra- phy studies to ascertain the effect of currents, temperature and the food supply of fishes, as it relates to the distribution of fish in the sea. Concern of American people over recent trends in yield of Pacific salmon was emphasized to the International Commis- sion at its first meeting by Milton Brooding, Chairman of the United States Section, who said in addressing the Commis- sion: "The people of my country are greatly concerned with the seaward migration of stocks of salmon of North American origin and we are moving as rapidly as possible in the di- rection of determining the ocean distribution of these stocks.
