1 North of Sandy Point includes Canadian traps in Boundary Bay; the Strait of Juan de Fuca includes Canadian traps near 
Sooke and American traps west of Point Wilson. From 1915-34 our data include all trap-caught sockeye. All but portions of the 
Sooke data are actual numbers of fish, not converted figures. 
During the late sockeye run of 1934, seining was permitted from September 1-8 
in the portion of seining area 17 directly off of the mouth of the Fraser River, and 
328,000 fish were taken. Small amounts of sockeyes are sometimes seined around 
Pender Island in seining area 18. In 1930 this area produced 31,000 sockeyes, in 
1931, 3,000, and in 1934, 45,000. 
CHANGES IN ABUNDANCE OF DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THE RUN 
The gill nets have been used as giving the best measure of the change in the time 
of the run. The average gill net delivery for each 7-day period was derived by 
combining the averages for each year and dividing by the number of years with data 
(see table 29).
