Right to require shark carcasses brought ashore upheld
Eureka Superior Court Judge Delos A. Mace upheld a California rule requiring commercial fishermen to bring ashore shark carcasses with the liver intact. The case, filed by Kneer of Eureka against Fish and Game wardens Grey and Lahr, centered on a 1947 conservation measure later amended by a 1949 law allowing sharks ashore in any condition until Oct. 1. The International Fishermen and Allied Workers organization intervened on Kneer’s behalf. Deputy Atty. General Ralph Scott defended the code provision, and no penalties were assessed.
