An examination of this table shows conclusively that the red salmon taken during 
the latter part of August in the traps along the western shore of Uganik Bay are 
predominantly derived from the Karluk River run. The 13 that were taken in the 
southern arm of Uganik Bay were probably, although not certainly, bound for a 
stream entering the east arm of the bay, which was formerly very productive but is 
now depleted so seriously that the run amounts to very little. Three were taken in 
the region of Alitak and presumably represent an element of the Alitak run that 
passes the northern shore of Kodiak Island during the spawning migration. Seven 
were taken to the eastward of Uganik Bay, including two taken in Cook Inlet, and 
one was returned without data as to when and where it had been recaptured. All 
of the others — 399 out of a total of 423 (94.5 per cent) — were taken either at Karluk 
or at some point between the place where the tagging was done and Karluk, or were 
reported on their way up Karluk River to the spawning grounds. 
The percentage of recoveries was unusally high — 57.6 per cent- — but this includes 
86 fish that were counted through the weir maintained by the Bureau of Fisheries 
in Karluk River. If we consider only the fish that were taken in the commercial
