The new rules call for 50% fewer nets and traps in 1954 in order to let more salmon escape to the breeding areas, more and better scientific research to help the salmon breed successfully, a Government-aided program such as the one that helped to build up the salmon runs in Canada's Fraser River (TIME, Sept...
