SALTING SALMON, 
By far the greater part of the salmon catch of Siberia is either 
ickled or dry salted. This was the earliest commercial method 
initiated on the coast and has been followed for a number of years, 
mainly by the Japanese. The coast is dotted with concessions worked 
by Japanese, while there are large numbers in operation along the 
rivers, these being restricted to Russians. An idea of the extent of 
this branch of the industry may be gathered when it is stated that in 
1915 there were 50,000 barrels of pickled salmon prepared in the 
Amur region, while the Japanese dry salted about 6,000,000 dog salm- 
on, including also a few reds, and 80,000,000 humpbacks, or ‘‘salmon 
trout,’ as they are called in Japan. 
In pickling salmon the fish are split down the back, the sides bein 
held together by the belly. The roe, gills, and viscera are remove 
and the fish are then washed, and after salting are placed in large
