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 1931. Where 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 AL.\SKA 



Bristol Bay. — The Beriug Sea shore, east and north of the Ugashik River. 

 Port Moller and Herendecn Bay. — Port Moller, Heremleen Bay, and Nelson 

 Lagoon.

 Shumagin Islands.
