BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
have been larger had it not been for the intensive fishery in Sumner Strait near the 
point of tagging. This region is therefore an important source of the pink salmon 
found in Sumner Strait. 
A few of the pinks went north and were taken in Chatham Strait, at Whale 
Bay on the western coast of Baranof Island, in Frederick Sound, and as far north 
as Seymour Canal in Stephens Passage. This northerly migration is of little prac- 
tical importance, however, as only 10 tagged fish were reported from these regions. 
The remaining fish were taken in the waters of Clearence Strait, Ernest Sound, 
and Revillagigedo Channel. None was taken in British Columbia. The local 
nature of the pink-salmon runs is further evidenced by the fact that a large per- 
centage of the fish taken in Clarence Strait came from the northern part above 
Tolstoi Point and from Ernest Sound, just 100 fish being reported from these localities. 
Only 40 came from the southern part of Clarence Strait and 15 from Revillagigedo 
Channel. In the case of the reds and cohoes, the fish were distributed about equally 
between the northern and the southern parts of Clarence Strait.
