Note.— N o catch was reported in the years not shown in any division of this table. 
Peril Strait has always been known as a pink and chum salmon district. Table

consisted of those species, the catch of cohos at Fish Bay being the only exception. 
Salmon enter the strait from the west through Salisbury Sound and from the east 
through Chatham Strait. It is probably that a part of the runs coming through the 
western entrance eventually reach Chatham Strait, but it is not likely that any of
