of Wales Island produced approximately three million — over 37 percent. The fish were so 

 concentrated in the vicinity of Cape Addlngton that the greatest portion of the catch was 

 taken by mobile gear within an area of less than 15 miles along the coast. (2) The rela- 

 tive escapement from the total run was surprisingly good. There were gains over the 

 parent year in both early and middle run streams. However the overall late escapement 

 was less than in 1955 and was not good. The escapements for each of the districts in 

 Southeastern Alaska are shown In figures 5^ 6, 7> 8> 9) and 10. The geographic locations 

 of the districts are shown in the map (fig. 11).
