the islands in the Aleutian chain, and certainly some of the fish in this 

 region ivDuld eventually proceed to those streams. There are no very pro- 

 ductive red salmon streams in the area however and it would seem that most 

 of the fish of this species present in the waters between Unimak Pass and 

 the Islands of Four Mountains must be bound for rivers in Bristol Bay and 

 vicinity. 



To obtain additional infornation on the distance offshore that salmon 

 could be taken, a section line was run from Cape Mordvinof directly across 

 to Univak Island, a distance of 330 miles „ The data are presented in 

 table 16.

These data are in agreement with the data obtained in previous years 

 and verify the belief that salmon are pres?nt in - and utiliee - all the 

 waters of the entrance to Bristol Bay. 



A section line was then fished from Nunivak Island to St. Tiatthew 

 Island; the data for these operations are presented in table I7 •
