ALASKA FISHERY AND FUK-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 19 34 31 



1930. The Drier Bay plant of the Prince Packing Co. that had been 

 operated under lease by the New England Fish Co. from 1928 to 1930, 

 inclusive, was taken over and operated by the Alaska Pacific Salmon 

 Co. Other plants that were reopened after having been idle for a 

 year or more were the Kadiak Fisheries Co. at Shearwater Bay, the 

 New England Fish Co. at Cordova, the Shclikof Packing Co. at 

 Zachar Bay, the Shepard Point Packing Co. at Port Ashton, the 

 Strand- Jensen Fisheries Co. at Cordova, and the Fidalgo Island 

 Packing Co. at Port Graham. The Pacific American Fisheries 

 operated its King Cove plant instead of the one at Ikatan. 



The Kustatan Packing Co. removed from Kustatan to Anchorage, 

 taldng over the plant of the Toman Packing Co. at the latter place. 

 The Farwest Fisheries, Inc., at Anchorage was succeeded by the 

 General Fish Co., but the plant remained idle during the season, the 

 pack being put up b}^ Snug Harbor Packing Co. Only a limited pack 

 of canned sahnon was prepared by the Kedoubt Ba}^ Packing Co. at 

 Redoubt Bay, and the plant is therefore not included in the list of 

 canneries operated. 



The Herendeen Bay Consolidated Canneries did not pack aboard 

 the floating plant Alazama, but operated the Port Aloller plant of the 

 Pacific American Fisheries which had been closed in 1933. 



Direct ownership has been acquired by the Pacific American Fish- 

 eries, Inc., of the plants formerly operated by subsidiary concerns, as 

 follows: Petersburg Packing Co. at Petersburg, Alitak Fish Co. at 

 Alitak and Zachar Bay, Shumagin Packing Co. at Squaw Harbor, 

 and Alaska-Portland Packers Association at Naknek River and 

 Nushagak Bay. 



NEW CANNERIES 



Eight new canneries were operated in 1934, of which 5 were shore 

 plants, as follows: Lane Bros., a hand cannery at Moira Sound; 

 Lindenberger Packing Co., at Craig; Cordova Fisheries Co., Inc., a 

 hand cannery at Cordova; Herbert T. Domenici, at Uyak; and the 

 Puget and Alaska Canning Co., which leased the plant at Seldovia 

 that had formerly been used by the North Pacific Pacldng Co. for 

 canning clams. New floating canneries were the La Merced, which 

 was operated by the Alaska Southern Packing Co., Inc., in the Ikatan- 

 Shumagin region and, in the fall season, at Tenakee in southeast 

 Alaska; the Memnon, operated by the Columbia River Packers 

 Association on the north and south sides of the Alaska Peninsula; 

 and a large barge operated by the Western Pacific Packing Co. at 

 Mist Harbor in the Shumagin Islands. 



Lauritz Pedersen, of Unga, and Fred Phillips, of Valdez, put up 

 small amounts of hand-packed salmon, but these have not been 

 included in the list of canneries. 



CANNERIES NOT OPERATED 



Of the plants that had been operated in the previous year, only 

 three were closed in 1934^the Cook Inlet Packing Co. at Seldovia, 

 the Enterprise Seafood Co. at Ninilchik, and the Pacific American 

 Fisheries, Inc., at Ikatan. It is not likely that the Ikatan plant 

 will be operated again, as the machinery has been removed. 



The Uzinki cannery of the International Packing Co. has been 

 dismantled, and the cannery of Charles W. Pajoman at Iron Creek
