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 1933. 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 wliich pack fish caught both in Prince 

 Wilham 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
