BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
CHUMS 
Two hundred and forty chum salmon were tagged, chiefly in the experiments of 
August 8 and 9, and of these 54 were returned. The distribution was much the same 
as in the case of the pink salmon, although a somewhat greater percentage of chums 
went to the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. Of the 54 returns 10 (18.5 per cent) 
were from this region, and the remaining 44 (81.5 per cent) were taken in the general 
region including the southern part of Clarence Strait, Revillagigedo Channel, and 
adjacent water. None was taken north of Tolstoi Point in the Clarence Strait region. 
The data are given in Table 19.
