This section line passed by St. George Island, the southernmost island 

 of the Pribilof group, and extended to Northeast Point on St. Paul Island; 

 four of the stations along the section line, i.e. No. 32,33,3U and 35, being 

 betvreen these two islands. Salmoniiere taken at every station fished. It 

 is of interest to note that the largest catch v/as nade at station 32, cne 

 of the stations located between the islands. There are no salmon streams on 

 any of the islands in the Pribilof group. 



The data on the catches made between the Pribilof Islands and Nunivak 

 Island, are presented in tables 9 and 10.

The catch of red salmon dropped off markedly north of station 37 whereas 

 the catch of chum salmon increased. Most of the red salmon found here are 

 undoubtedly enroute to Bristol Bay watersheds and those populations may 

 not frequent these northern waters to any great extent during their migra- 

 tion. The chum salmcn, however, probably are part of the populations enroute 

 to theKuskokwim and Yukon rivers as well as to some of the small streams 

 on the mainland and en Nunivak Island.
