ANNUAL REPORT SECRETARY
OF INTERIOR TELLS OF
MOST POPULAR FISH
The numebr of salmon caught
in 1929 showed a decrease of 19.7
per cent from the catch of 1928.
due chiefly to the smaller run of
pink salmon in Southeast Alaska,
declares Gov. George A. Parks in
his annual report to the Secretary
of Interior appearing in the Jun
eau Empire. It should be noted
however, that there was a mark
d improvement in the run of this
species as compared with the be
ginning of the cycle (1927). Tire
take of red salmon in western Al
aska was considerably smaller than
in 1928. but the effect of the de
cline on the output of canned sal
mon was somewhat lessened bv
the unusually large size of
the fish. In the central district
the catch was the largest since the
record production of 1926. both in
the pinks and chums thus making
unusually good showings. Bv dis
tricts. the catch hr both South
eastern and Western Alaska de
creased approximately 37 per cent
while in Central Alaska there was
an increase of 32 per cent.
