About 5 per cent of the fish went to the westward from Cape Bendel and were 

 taken in Chatham Strait, both north and south of Frederick Sound, and a few went 

 as far north as Icy Strait. The great majority of the fish, however, were taken in 

 the region of Frederick Sound and Stephens Passage. On August 4, 1924, nearly 

 600 pink salmon were tagged near Cape Bendel. The distribution of these fish was 

 virtually the same as of the fish tagged in 1926, although a somewhat larger propor- 

 tion was taken in Chatham Strait, south of Frederick Sound, and in Sumner Strait. 

 The differences in the percentages do not appear to be significant, and the main lines 

 of migration are undoubtedly the same. In the case of the pinks tagged at Kings- 

 mill Point in 1924 and 1925, the general distribution is again the same as with those 

 tagged at Cape Bendel in 1926, except that, as would be expected, considerable 

 numbers were taken in Chatham Strait near Kingsmill Point and in Frederick 

 Sound west of Cape Bendel. A larger percentage of the fish tagged at Point Kings- 

 mill, also, was taken in Sumner Strait.
