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 1932. Wliere the pack at a given cannery is 

 made up of fish from more than one district, as in the case of that 

 at certain Cordova canneries which pack fish caught both in Prince 

 William Sound and in the Copper River area or at various plants 

 in southeastern 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 shove, east and north of the UgaPhik River. 

 Pm't Holier and Herendeen Bay. — Port Moller, Herendeen Bay, and Nelson 

 Lagoon. 



CENTRAL ALASKA 



Ikatan-Sfmmaffin Islands. — False Pass. Ikatan B.ay, King Cove, and the 

 Shiimagin Islands. 

 Chigmk. — Canneries located at Chignik.
