PACK IN CERTAIN DISTRICTS 
Statistics of the salmon pack are again presented for subdivisions 
of the three main districts of Alaska, and comparison is made with 
similar statistics for 1937. Where the pack at a given cannery 1s 
made up of fish from more than one district, as in the case of that at 
certain Cordova canneries packing fish caught both in Prince William 
Sound and in the Copper River area, or at various plants in south- 
eastern Alaska which draw for their supply on the catch of more than 
one district, due segregation has been made in order to credit each 
district with the pack from salmon caught therein. These districts 
are described as follows: 
WESTERN ALASKA 
Bristol Bay.—The Bering Sea shore, east and north of the Ugashik 
River. 
Port Moller and Herendeen Bay.—Port Moller, Herendeen Bay, and 
Nelson Lagoon. 
CENTRAL ALASKA 
Ikatan-Shumagin Islands.—False Pass, Ikatan Bay, King Cove, 
and the Shumagin Islands. ; 
Chignik.—Mainland shore from Castle Cape to Cape Kunmik. 
Kodiak-Afognak Islands —Kodiak, Spruce, and Raspberry Islands. 
Cook Inlet —The shores of Cook Inlet. 
Prince William Sound.—Resurrection Bay to Point Whitshed. 
Copper and Bering Rivers.—Point Whitshed to Bering River.
