Fisheries research plays 'an important role in the
prosperity of Alaska. Because the salmon industry
is the backbone of the Territory’s economy,
scientists are constantly looking for ways to safe
guard and possibly increase the salmon runs. These
investigations have been carried on since 1946
by the Fisheries Research Institute of the Uni
versity of Washington. This research program
complements similar studies being made by the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Territorial
Fisheries Board,and is financed by Alaska salmon
packers themselves. Salmon packers of the Bristol
Bay, Westward, Kodiak Island, Southeastern
Alaska, Prince William Sound and other districts
assess themselves a fixed amount of money per
case of salmon for research purposes.
