PINK SALMON 
Most of the salmon tagged at Cape Chacon were pinks. In five experiments 
conducted between August 8 and 13, 1925, inclusive, 2,341 fish of this species were 
tagged. Of these 983 were recovered from a great many minor localities, mainly 
along the shores of Clarence Strait and the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. 
The locality of recapture was not recorded for 11 of the returns; 87 fish (8.8 per 
cent of the total number returned) were taken along the west coast of Prince of 
Wales Island; 1 was captured on the west shore of Kuiu Island in the southern 
part of Chatham Strait; 71 (7.2 per cent) were from Clarence Strait above Tolstoi 
Point ; 4 and the remaining 813 (82.7 per cent) were taken in the southern part of 
Clarence Strait and adjacent waters. The results of the experiment are shown in 
Table 18.
