STATISTICS SHOW STARTLING
FIGURES VALUE INDUSTRY
TO THE TERRIEORY
According to a recent Fisheries
Service Bulletin of the Department
of Commerce, the fisheries industry
in Alaska last year experienced one
of the most productive seasons in
history, producing fishery commo
dities valued at nearly $55,000,000.
The salmon industry, always the
most important, recovered entirely
from the slump of 1927, and pro
duced the third largest pack on re
cord. The herring industry had
an increased production over 1927
while the halibut industry showed
a sdnewhat decreased production.
The report furthermore indicates
that fishermen are branching out
into new lines and utilizing pro
ducts of the sea heretofore held in
contempt or actually wasted, a
trend that speaks optimistic vol
umes for the future.
Statistics as a rule are tiresome
to everyone except the person en
gaged in the particular business
but the following figures should be
of interest to nearly every one in
the Territory because our welfare
so largely depends upon the fisher
ies.
