SAKHALIN DISTRICT. 
This district includes the entire coast line of Sakhalin Island with 
the exception of that facing the Amur estuary, which belongs to the 
Nikolaievsk district. It is the smallest district and is now of no great 
importance. Before the Russo-Japanese War it was the most im- 
portant district so far as herring fishing was concerned. The richest 
local fishermen, Semenoff, Denbigh, Biritch, and others, made their 
fortunes here. 
The 1913 catch was not good, due to storms and a poor run of 
herring, the principal fish of the district. The catch was as follows:

The product prepared amounted to 1,212 tons in 1911, 1,068 tons 
in 1912, and only 690 tons in 1913. 
In 1913 there were 14 stations on the island, of which 2 fish- 
catching and 2 fish-salting stations were in nonconventional waters, 
and 10 in conventional waters, 5 of the latter belonging to Russian 
and 5 to Japanese fishermen,
