ALASKA SA5.10N API PRECIOUS RESOURCE
Entries submitted in the Alaska Salmon In
stitute’s $1,200 Student Essay Contest show
that Alaska’s boys and girls are well aware
of the salmon industry's vital role in the
growth and development of the Territory.
7“he following essay won Carroll Haggard
of Denali School in Fairbanks first prize of
)200 in the Elementary School Division of
the contest.
Is the salmon industry very im
portant? Yes, to people all over
the world, salmon is a popular
food. Most people know it at least
by taste. Also the salmon industry
jives work to many people.
There are several kinds of com
mercially used salmon. They are
sockeye, humpback, Chinook, chum
and coho.
When salmon hatch from their
eggs, their mother is nowhere to
be found. She has left them in a
jelly-like substance called milt,
which they will eat until they are
strong enough to find food for
themselves. Soon they have a feel
ing they want to go to the sea.
Oh! just to feel that fine salt
water. They swim day after day;
finally they reach the sea. After
they have been there two ye*rs,
they want to go back to where
they were born. They leave the sea.
They go on a journey upstream to
spawn. As they go upstream many
are caught in a trap or by fisher
men. If they get to their birth
place, they lay their eggs in a
spawning bed and then try to re
turn to the sea. Usually they die
on the way. Soon the little salmon
start over again and do just like
their mothers.
There are four ways of catch
ing salmon. One is with a gillnet.
It is called a gillnet because when
fish try to get out, they are
caught by their gills and cannot.
Pound nets were used by the In*
dians long before whitemen came
and they are still very common.
There are two kinds of traps in
Alaska: standing or pile, and
floating. There are over 400 traps
in use in Alaska. By hook and line
is another way. The salmon caught
in this way are usually frozen or
cured. The last way of fishing is
purse seining. A little boat and a
bigger boat work together. One
end of a net is attached to each
boat. Then the little boat rows in
a circle as a school of fish passes
by, and the fish are caught in the
net.
After the salmon are caught
they are canned. The fish are
dropped into a large bin. Then
they are carried to the cannery
on a moving belt. At the cannery
their heads and tails are cut off.
Another machine scrapes off the
scales. The insides are taken out,
the fish are washed. They are cut
into pieces and put in cans. The
lids are put on the cans loosely
and put in the sealing machine.
Afterwards they are labeled, then
sent to stores all over the world.
Salmon not only feeds people
every day, it furnishes jobs for
18,000 people in Alaska. Millions
have been invested in the equip
ment needed. The industry is
Alaska's chief source of tax rev
enue. It was the search for gold
that first brought people to
Alaska. Now another precious re
source attracts many workers.
Perhaps that is why salmon are
called "The Silver of the Sea.”
