For the second yeax, an extensive 

 enumeration project was conducted in South- 

 eastern Alaska by the Bureau's research 

 staff to determine the production of pink 

 salmon fry in the southern half of the Pan- 

 handle. This is one of two methods being 

 evaluated as a means of predicting the abun- 

 dance of future pink salmon runs. 



Ten migrant stations, all located 

 within the inside waters of the southern 

 half of Southeastern Alciska, were operated 

 during the spring of 1958. 



Table 2 presents a comparison of the 

 fry migrations in the ten stre2ims sampled 

 the past two seasons. Two major streams,
