PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES 



497 



FISHING SEASON IN ALASKA 



There is much interest manifested in the beginning and end of 

 the salmon-fishing season for the more important waters of the various 

 regions of Alaska. The following table, extracted from United States 

 Bureau of Fisheries Document No. 838, Alaska Fisheries and Fur 

 Industries in 1916, pages 48 and 49, gives dates taken from the 

 statistical reports made by the cannhig companies. The earliest one 

 reported by any company doing much fishing has been accepted as 

 an opening date, while the closing date was determined by taking 

 the day nearest to which major operations ceased.
