The Cordova bureau of fisheries office released figures showing the final pack in Prince William Sound for the 1940 season. The total reaches the impressive figure of 589,393 cases, one of the largest packs in the history of sound fishing. Pink salmon, which leads the list with 522.992 cases, were largest in number of fish in all time. With an average of 22 per case in this specie, they round out the tre- mendous total of 11,505.824. The pink salmon run this year favored the seiners with small fish in greater numbers and it is said there is not a fisherman in the district who did not have a "pay ciay." Packers on the other hand, "took it on the chin" to a certain extent when they were forced to clean and prepare 22 fish for each case of the canned product.

Luckily for them, however, is said to be the fact that a relatively high market value will support their extra canning expense. Totals, by species, of the sound pack are as follows: Reds 5,864 Kings 242 I Pinks 522,992 Chums 52.558 Cohoes 7,737 Total r. 589,393 Printing at ike NEWS-MISER. cr and Lieutenant Marvin C.
