CHUMS 
The chum salmon are distributed chiefly along the western shore of Prince of 
Wales Island and in Sumner and Clarence Straits. Seventeen fish (8.4 per cent) were 
taken in Chatham Strait, Frederick Sound, and Stephens Passage as far north as 
Seymour Canal. None was taken far from the main line of migration or in British 
Columbia. While the chums tagged at Ruins Point appeared to be mainly of local 
origin, this was not as clearly shown as in the case of the pink salmon. The results 
of this experiment are set forth in Table 14.
