^ SALMON PACK IN CEBTAIN AREAS 



It ha,s seemed desirable to assemble certain heretofore unpub- 

 lished information in respect to the pack of canned salmon in Alaska 

 by subdivisions of the three main districts in order that the increase 

 or decline in production in rather localized areas may be easily 

 apparent from year to year. The areas determined upon are de- 

 scribed as follows: 



Bristol Bay area. — Canneries on the Bering Sea shore east and 

 north of the Ugashik River. 



Port Moller and Herendeen Bay area. — Canneries of Port Moller,. 

 Herendeen Bay, and Nelson Lagoon. 



Ikatan and Shumagin Islands area. — Canneries of False Pass,. 

 Ikatan Bay. King Cove, and the Shumagin Islands. 



Chignik area.—T\ivee canneries located at Chignik. 



Kodiak-Afognak Islands area. — Canneries of Kodiak, Spruce, and 

 Raspberry Islands. 



Cook Inlet area. — Canneries on the shores of Cook Inlet. 



Prince William Sound area. — Extends from Resurrection Bay to- 

 Point Whitshed, except that the packs of king and red salmon at 

 canneries eastward from Shepard Point to the end of the district 

 are omitted. 



Copper and Bering River area. — Extends from Point Whitshed 

 to Bering River and includes the red and king salmon pack at Cor- 

 dova canneries not credited to Prince William Sound. 



Yakutat and Dry Bay area. — Extends from Yakutat Bay to and 

 including Dry Bay. 



Icy Strait and Lynn Canal area. — West coast of Baranof and 

 Chichagof Islands, the shores of Cross Sound, Icy Strait. Lynn 

 Canal, and Stephens Passage south to Taku Harbor. Only part of 

 the pack at Taku Harbor is credited to this district, as some of it 

 originated elsewhere. 



Chatham Strait-Frederick Sound area. — Includes part of the 

 Taku cannery pack and the Petersburg Packing Co.'s pack, in ad- 

 dition to tliat of all canneries on both shores of Chatham Strait and 

 its bays from Point Augusta to Cape Ommaney, and through Fred- 

 erick Sound and its bays northward to Taku Harbor, including 

 Kake. 



Sum.7ier Sfrait-Dlxon Entrance area. — Extends southward from 

 Petersburg and eastward fi'om Port Beauclerc to Cape Chacon and 

 Dixon Entrance, and includes all canneries on the mainland and in- 

 tervening islands fi-om the Stikine River to Portland Canal. 



West coast of Prince of Wales Island area. — Territory west and 

 south of a line from Cape Chacon to Point Baker and Cape 

 Ommanev.
