 PINK SALMON 



The data secured from the tagging of pink salmon in the region of Nelson Cove 

 are given in Table 8 and Figure 6. With this species there has been no passing over 

 into Canadian waters, and by far the greater part of the recovered fish were taken 

 not far from the point where they were tagged — in Clarence Strait, Behm Canal, 

 Revillagigedo Channel, and Ernest Sound. Two were reported taken near Cape 

 Fox and two from localities in Stephens Passage.
