i Reported recaptured before date of tagging. 



In 1925, 2,341 pink salmon were tagged at or near this same place between 

 August 8 and 13. The results in the two years were virtually identical. The dis- 

 tribution was mainly along the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, in Clarence 

 Strait, Behm Canal, Ernest Sound, and Revillagigedo Channel. 



RETURNS FROM EXPERIMENTS IN KAIGANI STRAIT 



Tagging was done here on August 10 and 11, and nearly 1,600 fish were handled. 



RED SALMON 



Out of 55 tagged 6 were returned, as follows: Two from Cape Ulitka, Noyes 

 Island, 11 days after tagging; one each from Dall Head, 5 days; Moira Sound, 6 days; 

 Kassa Inlet, 9 days; and Kaigani Strait, 2 days. 



COHOS 



Forty-six were tagged and 6 returned. One came from each of the following 

 localities: Mountain Point, Revillagigedo Island, 18 days after tagging; Alder 

 Grove, 18 days; Kassa Inlet, 20 days; Nichols Bay, 9 days; Unuk River, 45 days; 

 and Annette Point, 37 days. 



PINK SALMON 



Of 1,479 tagged, 498 were recaptured. The returns came predominantly from 

 the waters of the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, the southern part of Clarence 

 Strait, and Revillagigedo. They are in entire agreement with the results of the 

 tagging done at Cape Muzon and Kaigani Point in 1925. The data are given in 

 Table 21 and Figure 17.
