ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES’ 315. 
PICKLING 
For the first time in many years the output of pickled salmon in 
Alaska showed no strong fluctuation as compared with that for the- 
preceding season. In western Alaska there was some curtailment, 
but this was largely offset by increased packs in the southeastern and 
central districts. 
Most of the production in southeast Alaska was from the Yakutat 
district, while in central] Alaska the Cook Inlet area rivaled the Ikatan-- 
Shumagin region in the amount prepared, with the Kodiak, Prince: 
William Sound, and Chignik areas also supplying part of the output, 
in the order named. The bulk of the pickled salmon in western Alaska 
came from the Bristol Bay region, where the preparation of this prod- 
uct was carried on partly in conjunction with canning operations. 
There was also a limited amount of pickled salmon from the Yukon-. 
Kushokwim area and from Port Heiden. 
One hundred and six persons were employed in the industry—a 
decrease of 17 from the number reported for the previous year. The- 
total output was 872,915 pounds, valued at $96,510, as compared with 
896,175 pounds valued at $95,158 in 1935.
