FIG. 8 - JAPANESE MOTHERSHIP SALMON FISHERY. RED SALMON: Significant is the unprecedented catch of 10,322,000 reds in June of 1957, of which approximately 5,000,000 fish were caught in the ten-day pe- riod from June 11 to 20 in the northern Aleutians in an area bounded roughly by longitudes 175° E. and 180° and latitudes 53° N. and 57° N. The total red salmon catch of 19,802,000 fish in 1957 was almost twice that of the next high catch of 12,164,000 reds in 1955. CHUM SALMON: The greatest chum salmon catches occurred in 1955 and 1956 when 18,573,000 and 17,167,000 fish were caught, respectively. The largest chum catch in any year generally occurred during the month of June and represents al- most one-half of the total chum catch of that year. PINK SALMON: In 1957 the pink salmon catch reached a high of 21,054,000 fish, 4,500,000 more than the next high of 16,508,000 in 1955. The catch of 8,321,000 pinks in June of 1957 is significant in that the catches of the corresponding month for the five previous years were considerably less in proportion to their total catch- Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the o
