BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
CHUMS 
The returns from the tagging of chum salmon in Icy Strait are given in Table 
5. This species is somewhat more widely scattered than any of the others, but the 
essential features of the distribution are the same, the main route of the migration 
being south in Chatham Strait and thence to Frederick Sound. The wider distri- 
bution of this species is indicated by the records of tags taken in Rodman Bay and 
Hooniah Sound, Peril Strait; in Keku Strait; in Chatham Strait, south of the western 
entrance to Frederick Sound; in Sumner Strait; and at Cape Lynch, on Heceta 
Island. There is also evidence of a relatively unimportant northerly migration from 
Icy Strait into the region of Stephens Passage.
