that many of these details may be erroneous due to faulty and incomplete data. 
The trend of the catches in the Valdez Arm district is upward for cohos, chums, and 
pinks, while in the other districts, it is upward for all species. Thus at the end of 
1927, the fisheries of the eastern part of Prince William Sound, taken as a whole, 
were apparently never in more flourishing condition, and had never reached a higher 
level of productivity.

TOTAL, PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND 
The unallocated catch of Prince William Sound includes salmon reported from 
Seward Bay in 1922; from Cape Horn in 1922 and 1923; from King Salmon Bay in 
1913, 1919, and 1923; from One Bay, Port Mole, Starboard Inlet, Unimack Bay, 
and Yackat Bay in 1917; from Sea Bay in 1918; and from Mine Bay in 1919. None 
of these localities could be located. 
Prince William Sound is not a large producer of red salmon. The catch of this 
species from 1904 to 1927 is shown graphically in Figure 7. Wide and fairly regular 
fluctuations in the catches from year to year are apparent in this graph, but these 
fluctuations are not clearly periodic. This would, of course, be expected in a district 
where the catches are made up of fish belonging to a number of races no one of which 
dominates the situation in the district as a whole. The catches in some of the locali- 
ties fisted in the table are not necessarily related to any particular stream as several 
of the localities are merely points on the shore where traps intercepted salmon bound
