RETURNS FROM EXPERIMENTS AT PARKER POINT, CHATHAM STRAIT 



At Parker Point, between July 20 and 22, 999 salmon were tagged; 47 were 

 red salmon, 3 cohos, 927 pinks, and 22 chums. None of the cohos was recaptured 

 and but one of the chums. That one was taken at Marble Bluffs one day after the 

 tagging. None of the previous experiments can be compared directly with the one 

 under discussion. 



RED SALMON 



Seventeen of the red salmon tagged at Parker Point were returned, and the data 

 are given in Table 14.

i Reported taken before date of tagging. 



Although the data are too few to form a basis for more than tentative conclu- 

 sions, they indicate a migration both north and south of the point where the tagging 

 was done. Red salmon were taken in Chatham Strait north of the point of tagging, 

 as far as Funter Bay and also in Icy Strait. Others w r ere taken in Chatham Strait, 

 south of Parker Point, and in Frederick Sound. It is a question as to which route 

 was taken by the fish that were recaptured in Stephens Passage. They might have 

 gone through Frederick Sound or around the northern end of Admiralty Island. It 

 seems rather probable that the latter course was taken, inasmuch as other experiments, 

 to be described later, show a distinct migration of red salmon from Icy Strait around 

 the northern end of Admiralty Island, to Taku Inlet.
