 shell buttons decreased in 1934. 



Alaska. — The catch of fishery products in Alaska in 1934 increased 

 in both volume and value as compared with 1933. The pack of 

 canned salmon was much larger in 1934 in both volume and value 

 than in the preceding year. There also were increases in the pro- 

 duction of fresh and frozen fish, and fishery byproducts; however, 

 there was a decrease in both the volume and value of cured products.
