Excerpt from Stream Catalog of Southeastern Alaska Regulatory District No; 2: Special Scientific Report Fisheries No; 453

The pink salmon of Southeastern Alaska are an important fishery resource. Millions of these fish are captured annually by the commercial fishery during their spawning migration. There are more than 1, 100 known spawning streams, plus hundreds of small, indi vidually unimportant ones, scattered along the 9, 000 coastal miles of Southeastern Alaska.

For many years, management and research agencies of the Federal, Territorial and State govern ments, Alaska Salmon canners, and the Fisheries Re search Institute of the University of Washington, have independently conducted stream surveys of the salmon spawning grounds. A vast amount of valuable informa tion has. Been accumulated and has been, in the main, kept on file in the offices of the various organizations.

To make full use of all these scattered materials, records from the various souces have been gathered together and methods of stream surveying have been studied on a comparative basis. This information has been consolidated into a standard form which is pre sented here as a stream catalog.

This catalog has been compiled under a con tract given to the Fisheries Research Institute by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The material contained herein includes 88 major and numerous minor streams of Regulatory District No. 2.
