CHIGNIK TO RESURRECTION BAY SALMON STATISTICS 
689 
which were packed at Karluk and Uganik. Nothing more is known of operations at 
Ugak Bay until 1907, yet it seems likely that fishing was carried on each year through 
the seasons for which statistics are not available. Beginning in 1907, records are 
available for each year to and including 1927, except 1918, when for unknown reasons 
no salmon were reported from Ugak Bay. The catch of red salmon is shown graphi- 
cally in Table 24. The period from 1907 to 1915 was fairly productive, hut was followed 
by a number of years when the reported catch was negligible. Then followed a period 
of slightly increased productivity from 1921 to 1925, while the catches in 1926 and 
1927 were again very poor. The general picture is one of marked depletion.

In respect to other species taken at Ugak Bay, statistics show that since 1916 the 
catch of cohos has been much lower than in the earlier years. None has been reported 
since 1923, and it would appear that either the run has been completely destroyed or 
there is no fishing for this species. Pink salmon are taken at Ugak Bay in varying 
quantities. The largest catch on record was made in 1916 when 117,885 were taken. 
Since then, 1922 and 1926 were moderately good years, but in 1927 the catch was only 
78. The number of king salmon taken here has been surprisingly large in some sea- 
sons, considering the size of the stream, though in many years none was taken. There
