MINOR FISHERIES. 
TROUT. 
The trout fishery of Alaska has not attracted much attention 
although it is of growing importance. One concern, the Midnight 
Sun Packing Co., at Kotzebue, reports that its major operations con- 
sisted of the catching and packing of Dolly Varden trout. This com- 
pany canned 2,587 cases of trout, the value of which was $24,105, or 
more than the value of all the trout products of Alaska in 1917. 
There was also a considerable increase in the quantity of fresh and 
frozen trout produced, the records for 1918 showing an aggregate 
production of 69,718 pounds, valued at $7,343, as against 42,966 
pounds, valued at $4,018, in 1917. This increase occurred chiefly 
in southeastern Alaska. The total production of pickled trout was 
105 barrels, as against 174 barrels in 1917. The total value of all 
trout products in 1918 was $33,684, an increase of $16,788 over the 
yield of 1917.
