These data fully confirm the results of previous experiments in showing that the 
pinks of Frederick Sound are distributed chiefly among the streams of that locality 
and Stephens Passage. Virtually every experiment, however, has shown a slight 
movement out of the sound and both north and south in Chatham Strait. No new 
facts of importance were brought out by the tagging experiments of 1927. 
CHUM SALMON 
Five hundred chum salmon were tagged in Frederick Sound during 1927, of which 
117 were recaptured later. The data are presented in Table 9.
