WHITEFISH FISHERY OF LAKES HURON AND MICHIGAN 385 APPENDIX С INVESTIGATION OF POUND NETS AND DEEP TRAP NETS IN THE WISCONSIN WATERS OF LAKE MICHIGAN, 1931« The brief investigation of the pound-net and deep-trap-net fisheries of the Door peninsula was conducted for the specific purpose of determining the validity of the strenuous complaints of commercial fishermen against the use of the deep trap net. The objections against the deep trap net as a dangerously efficient gear, as a source of destruction to young fish ; and as a usurper of pound-net grounds were in general the same as those put forward by Michigan fishermen, and, consequently, need not be outlined in detail here. (See p. 298.) The procedure of the investigation involved observations of the lifting of pound nets and deep trap nets, interviews with operators of both types of nets (including a public hearing attended by more than 250 fishermen at Fish Creek, July 10, 1931), and the compilation of statistics on (1) the production of whitefish in the Wisconsin waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan, beginning in 1889, and (2) the production of whitefish and the catch per lift in pound nets and deep trap nets of 1 the Door peninsula, 1930-1931. PRODUCTION OF WHITEFISH IN THE GREEN BAY AND LAKE MICHIGAN WATERS OF WISCONSIN, 1889-1939 The data on whitefish production in the State of Wisconsin waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan (table 49) were compiled from original records in the files of the Wisconsin Conservation Department. 43 Year 1889 1890 1892 1893 1894 1895 1896 1897 1899 1903 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 1916 1917 -. 1918 -- 1919 TABLE 49.—Production of whitefish in pounds in Green Bay and Lake Michigan, 1889-1939 Green Bay 248810 181,692 54540 450,000 392,100 500,000 525,000 568,367 37,685 5,949 83,114 49,340 36,424 102,080 41,750 21,435 00,835 12,049 20,853 21,012 83,184 Lake Michigan 78450 5,750 279540 20,325 25,000 20,325 28,000 317,991 37,670 110,815 50,139 28,221 88,095 78203 76,175 19,230 60,081 96,172 106,080 233,067 118,935 [Compiled from State records at Madison, Wis.] Green Bay and Lake Michigan 327,260 187,442 334,080 470,325 417,100 520,325 553,000 886,358 125,355 116 764 133,253 77,561 124,510 180,283 117,925 40,665 120,916 108,221 126,933 254,079 202,119 Year 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 . 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 1832 1933 1934 1935- 1936 1937 1938- 1939. . .

Production remained rather consistently at a low level over the years, 1909-1923; only two years (1912 and 1921) of this period had yields in excess of 100,000 pounds. Beginning in 1924 the production of whitefish in Green Bay followed an irregular but definite upward trend that culminated in a yield of a half million pounds in 1930. This catch (1930) was the greatest since 1897 and was the third largest in the known history of the fishery. " This section ig condensed from the unpublished "Report to the Conservation Commission of the State of Wisconsin on the Investigation of Deep Trap Nets, Conducted Jointly bv the State Fisheries Department and the United States Bureau of Fisheries during the Period, July 6 to 11,1931, in the Waters of Door County, Wisconsin." The investigation was made by Dr. John Van Oosten of the United States Bureau of Fisheries (now the Fish and Wildlife Service) and Messrs. B. 0. Webster and Ira G. Smith of the Wisconsin Conservation Department. " There are certain discrepancies between the data of table 49 of this appendix and those of table 1 of part I. These arise from the fact that the former table has been based entirely on State of Wisconsin records On order to have data for Green Bay and Lake Michigan separately) whereas the records of whitefoh production in Wisconsin waters in the latter table were obtained from several sources.
