PICKLING 
A very light production of pickled salmon was reported for the 
1939 season in Alaska, the amount being the smallest for any year 
since 1932. Nearly 76 percent of the season’s output was prepared in 
central Alaska, chiefly in the Ikatan-Shumagin region, 17 percent 
came from western Alaska, and 7 percent from the southeastern 
district. The bulk of the pack consisted of reds and cohos. 
There were 36 persons employed, or 181 less than the number 
reported for 1938. The total output was 322,400 pounds, valued at 
$34,121, as compared with 1,177,685 pounds valued at $122,421 in 
the previous year.
