SALMON TAGGING IN ALASKA, 1926 



99 



COHOS 



Ninety were tagged and 15 recaptured. Ten of these were taken in Taku Inlet in 

 from 2 to 5 days after being tagged. One was reported taken at each of the following 

 localities: Middle Point, Douglas Island, in 44 days; Hood Bay, 4 days; Marble 

 Bluffs, 3 days; Limestone Inlet, 3 days; and Seymour Canal, 5 days. 



PINK SALMON 



Of 794 pink salmon tagged at Douglas Island, 181 were retaken. The data are 

 given in Table 19 and Figure 15. The distribution was primarily to waters tributary

to Stephens Passage, but there is evidently a well-marked movement into Chatham 

 Strait, probably around the northern end of Admiralty Island. Those taken in 

 Frederick Sound may have reached there through Stephens Passage or through 

 Chatham Strait (probably through Stephens Passage, inasmuch as that appears to 

 be the main migration route of the pink salmon that pass Douglas Island).
