Bellecram fisher installs echo light on ship
John M Fudge of Bellecram, a noted herring packer, has installed the echo light boarding apparatus on his vessel at St. Pierre. It is the first of its kind in the North Atlantic area and differs from Pacific Coast gear. He plans winter research in Fortune Bay and has designed an otter trawl made in Toronto. He expects an unlimited U S market for herring as recent catches have been limited.
