ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES 313. 
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 1935. 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:

Port Moller and Herendeen Bay.—Port Moller, Herendeen Bay, and Nelson 
Lagoon.
