There ve been many exotic and unusual fish taken in Alaskan waters during the season. Shad have been report- ed at Petersburg and as far west as Prince William Sound. These are Atlantic shad which were trans- planted several years ago in San Francisco Bay and have, from all evidence multiplied and spread over the Pacific Coast. Several California barracuda have been caught at Sitka. A very unusual occurrence of pink salmon (humpback) was re- ported in July off the west coast of Admiralty Island. Schools of thou- sands were seen in coastal waters. These were spawned in 1938, hatched this year and will return in 1940, as the humpback is invariably a two- year fish. The first reports from the Prib- ilofs show that the seal herd has again increased its usual eight per cent, now being numbered over 2,- 000,000. Sixty thousand skins were taken this year. Japan, Russia, Eng- land and the United States all share$, in the annual pelting. The seal herd in 1910 numbered only 125,000, but through wise hus- bandry and the treaty of 1911, which eliminated the illegal killing, the herd has reached its present count. A certain doctor and sportsman! of Juneau has the boys guessing. Twice in the last week he has gone fishing and returned with large catches of cut-throat trout and the last time a nine-pound steelhead for good measure. He claims all fish were caught in| the outlet of Auk Lake—the other fishermen can’'t seem to catch any | no matter where they fish or what bait they use.
