FRESH SALMON 
As in the previous year, the fresh-salmon business was confined to 
southeast Alaska, where it was largely incidental to other branches 
of the fisheries. Three dealers whose chief output was fresh salmon 
gave employment to 10 white shoresmen. The total products 
amounted to 3,817,042 pounds, valued at $291,335, as compared 
with 3,421,129 pounds, valued at $292,316, in 1937—an increase of 
about 12 percent in quantity, but a decrease of about a third of 1 
percent in value. The foregoing output includes approximately 
35,600 chum salmon, or 308,200 pounds, that were taken in Chol- 
mondeley Sound during the fall season and shipped to a salmon 
cannery at Anacortes, Wash.
