RETURNS FROM EXPERIMENTS AT DOUGLAS ISLAND, STEPHENS 



PASSAGE 



RED SALMON 



The data bearing on the red salmon tagged near Douglas Island are given in 

 Table 18 and are shown graphically in Figure 14. Five hundred and sixteen were 

 tagged and 215 recaptured. A striking feature is the great predominance of the 

 returns from Taku Inlet. Over 85 per cent of all the returns came from this locality 

 and from the Taku River, and others came from points between where the fish were 

 tagged and the entrance to Taku Inlet. Most of the other returns came from various 

 localities in Stephens Passage.
