The following table shows the relative importance of different 
species within each district. In 1916 the red or sockeye salmon was 
the most abundant, but in 1917 the humpback had usurped this place 
by a small m rgin.

The following table shows the relative importance of districts in the 
production of each species in 1916 and 1917. Southeast Alaska leads 
in each year, with 35.1 and 38.1 per cent, respectively. Western 
Alaska was second in 1916, but was forced cown to third place by 
Puget Sound in 1917. In 1916 Central Alaska produced 21 per cent 
of the humpback pack, but in 1917 this was reduced to 4.1 per cent. 
Puget Sound advanced from 0.1 per cent of the humpback pack in 
1916 to 30.7 per cent in 1917. Humpbacks run in this district only 
every other year.
