 Bill Parenteau | A 'Very Determined Opposition to the Law': Conservation, Angling Leases, and Social Conflict in the ...
At this time the Department of Marine and Fisheries also began to ban all fishing on some rivers where the salmon run had been seriously depleted or eliminated; the bans often were undertaken at the behest of local sporting promoters and met with hostility and resistance from other residents.
The successful fishery officer was one who understood the relationship between the local angling leaseholders and the provincial and federal fisheries departments, the sympathies of local politicians and patronage committees, and the likelihood that the other fishers in his district would take hostile action if he became zealous in the enforcement of regulations.

 R. v. Nikal, 1996 CanLII 245 (S.C.C.)

Marine casualty investigation records consist of registry files created by the Marine Branch of the Department of Marine and Fisheries from 1887 to 1936, and since 1937 by Transport Canada.
Devised by the Department to improve an archaic and cumbersome records-keeping system, the new classification scheme (which remained in existence until the Marine Branch was incorporated into the Department of Transport in 1936) assigned each file a primary and secondary number according to subject, with tertiaries and quaternaries if required.
The vast number of marine casualty investigation files preserved in RG 42 and RG 12 precludes any sort of inventory of references here, particularly as these files are not conveniently gathered in large volume ranges but rather are spread throughout both record groups.

Prior to 1917 the data were obtained by officers of the Fisheries Branch of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, probably by visiting communities and estimating the annual catch and its disposition.

There are numerous examples of statements by the Crown, both in British Columbia and in the Province of Canada, that the firm policy of the Crown was to treat Indians in the same manner as non-Indians with respect to the allocation of fishing grounds for commercial use.
As a result, it would appear that the common law as it existed at the time the reserve was allotted would lead to the conclusion that the presumption that the title to the bed of the river would pass with the allotment of the shore had been rebutted.
