Table 2. — Species of fish reported by natives from streams between Cape Newenham and 

 Point Hope, Alaska, and estimates of annual salmon catches — Continued 



1 Burbot reported as "lingcod" by natives; stickleback, as "needlefish." 



2 The total catch figure by river includes the estimated catch for the Yukon River, but 

 does not include salmon caught in salt water. Therefore, the total catch figure given in 

 table 3 does not correspond to the one in table 1 or to the total catch figure for the 

 area.

the Kuskokwim was eliminated by a complete 

 closure, but in 1954 restrictions were relaxed 

 to the extent that 3,000 king salmon could be 

 taken commercially below Aniak (fig. 5) and 

 the same number above this village. 



In 1960 the Alaska Department of Fish and 

 Game established commercial fishing quotas 

 of 3,000 king and 1,500 cohofO. kisutch) sal- 



mon below the town of Akiachak (fig. 5) and 

 1,500 each of king and coho salmon between 

 Akiachak and the mouth of the Aniak River. 

 Changes, which will be effective in 1961, 

 limit catches of king salmon only before 

 August 1. Taking salmon from Akiachak up- 

 stream to the middle mouth of Aniak Slough 

 is limited to 1,500 each of king and coho sal- 

 mon, and similar quotas for the two species
