In giving the localities where tagged fish were captured, local names, which 
we have been unable to identify, were used occasionally. As these cases were com- 
paratively few, they have been omitted from detailed consideration and have been 
included among those records with which no data were submitted. 
Tagging operations were conducted in localities at or near the main channels 
through which the fish must pass in entering southeastern Alaska from the Pacific 
Ocean. The primary object of the experiments was to discover the main routes of 
salmon migration through the maze of channels of the Alexander Archipelago and 
the distribution of the fish following these routes to the various spawning grounds. 
It was expected, also, that the experiments would yield information relative to the 
rate of migration of various species in various localities at various times. In so far 
as the routes of migration are concerned the results obtained were fairly satisfactory; 
but in many cases so few returns were received from any one locality that the data 
as to the time that elapsed between tagging and recapture are not reliable enough to 
warrant detailed analysis. 
The time available for the preparation of this report was not sufficient to permit 
as complete and careful an analysis as is desirable. For various reasons, however, 
it seemed important to present the available facts without delay, and as the experi- 
ments will be continued in subsequent years a more detailed analysis can be deferred 
until more data are at hand. 
EXPERIMENTS IN SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA 
TAGGING RECORD 
The following table gives the data for the tags attached in southeastern Alaska 
in 1924 and 1925. In cases where the numbers of fish tagged do not agree with the 
figures in the column headed “Serial numbers,” the discrepancy is due to the loss or 
breaking of some of the tags.
