The results are, in every important respect, the same as those secured from the 
previous experiments, indicating that the main route of migration is south into 
Chatham Strait and Frederick Sound. 
CHUM SALMON 
Twenty-six chum salmon were tagged in Icy Strait during 1927, five of which 
were recaptured (19.2 per cent). One was taken in Icy Strait, two in Chatham 
Strait, and two in Stephens Passage. These results, although few, agree with the 
earlier experiments. 
COHO SALMON 
Sixty-one coho salmon were tagged in Icy Strait during 1927, 11 of which were 
recaptured (18 per cent). The data are presented in Table 4. The results again 
corroborate the earlier experiments, showing the chief route of migration to be into 
Chatham Strait. It is also to be noted that the relatively slow migration of cohos 
is again shown clearly.
