APPENDIX II 



RESULTS OF SALMON-MARKING. 

 With Chart of Recaptures on Coast. 



[Sixth Paper.] 



By W. L. OALDERWOOD. 



Since my last report on this subject, 40 additional recaptures have been 

 made, some of which are of special interest. For the first time since the 

 marking operations commenced I am able to report the case of a salmon 

 which, after having been marked, has been recaptured on two separate 

 occasions. Several recaptures have been made on the coast w T hich further 

 exemplify the general southward migration previously noted. A fish 

 showing exceptional increase of weight in a short interval of time has 

 been recaptured. And a fish showing no increase, and a marked south- 

 ward movement on the coast, has also to be reported. 



The particulars of marking and recapture of all the fish recovered since 

 my last year's report are given in two divisions according as they represent 

 Long or Short Periods of Migration.* There are this year 13 records 

 showing the long period and 27 showing the short period. In every case 

 the fish was marked as a keJt and recaptured as a clean fish or unspawned 

 fish.
