  HERRING 
  FISHERY. 
  

  

  Herring 
  operations 
  in 
  Alaska 
  are 
  confined 
  more 
  particularly 
  to 
  

   the 
  colder 
  months 
  of 
  the 
  year, 
  although 
  there 
  is 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  activity 
  

   at 
  all 
  times 
  when 
  herring 
  are 
  available 
  for 
  bait 
  in 
  the 
  halibut 
  fishery. 
  

   It 
  has 
  long 
  been 
  recognized 
  that 
  fresh 
  herring 
  are 
  superior 
  to 
  pickled
