Kodiak’s Newest Industry — King Crab
As a Flourishing Industry
The past few years have seen the de
velopment of the King Crab Industry
here and on the Island of Kodiak.
More than 4,000,000 pounds of crab
were processed last year. In 1955, the
total was 2,187,685 pounds. In 1956,
4,798,770 pounds were gathered in
waters adjacent to Kodiak Island.
For Its Substantial Payroll
The catching, processing and market
ing of the King Crab has brought a
substantial payroll to Kodiak and to
the villages throughout the £sl3>nd.
The lives of residents here and all

affected by the harvesting of this
huge crustacean.
