BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 

 MORZHOVOI BAY 



As in the case of Ikatan Bay the red-salmon catch of Morzhovoi Bay has been 

 discussed above. The data relative to the other species are shown graphically in 

 Figure 17. It will be apparent from a comparison of this figure with the similar 

 one for Ikatan Bay that the recent history of the catches of pinks, chums, cohos, and 

 kings has been somewhat different in the two localities. Up to 1921 the develop- 

 ment in the two localities had been similar, but Morzhovoi Bay does not show the 



Fig. 16.— Catch of pinks, chums, cohos, and kings at Ikatan 



same recovery from the depression of 1921 that is shown by Ikatan Bay. The 

 tendency for the catches to return to the former level is evidenced by the pinks 

 and chums, but neither the cohos nor longs have recovered to any marked degree. 

 The cause of these differences is not apparent. 



KING COVE 



This small fishery, carried on chiefly in King Cove Lagoon, has produced chiefly 

 chums and a few pinks. It has not been contuiuous, and the yield has been subject 

 to wide fluctuations. No depletion is indicated by the available data.
