FRESH SALMON 



Sixteen plants in southeast Alaska and 1 in the central district 

 reported an output of fresh salmon incidental to other fishery opera- 

 tions. The total products amounted to 2,951,636 pounds, valued 

 at $168,427, as compared with 1,385,789 pounds valued at $69,837 

 in 1934 — an increase of 113 percent in quantity and 141 percent in 

 value. These figures do not include salmon for fox feed, which is 

 shown under miscellaneous salmon products.

FREEZING 



The freezing of salmon in Alaska was carried on only in the south- 

 eastern district, primarily in conjunction with the mild-curing 

 industry. One cold-storage plant whose chief product was frozen 

 salmon gave employment to 17 white shoresmen. The total output 

 was 4,266,834 pounds, valued at $270,178, as compared with 5,316,574 

 pounds valued at $334,812 in 1934 — a decrease of about 20 percent 

 in quantity and 19 percent in value. 



Salmon that were frozen for use as bait in the halibut fishery are 

 not included in the above figures but are shown under miscellaneous 

 salmon products.
