BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
EXPERIMENTS NEAR CAPE FOX 
It has been mentioned above that these experiments were undertaken in order 
to test the extent to which the traps in the region of Cape Fox, and particularly those 
on Sitklan and Kanaganut Islands, drew upon the salmon runs native to the streams 
of British Columbia. There are no significant differences in the results of these ex- 
periments as compared with the previous experiments conducted in this region in 
1924, 1925, and 1926 (loc. cit.). In general a small percentage of the fish were taken 
in British Columbia although in 1930 the tagging was done chiefly in those traps 
which were closest to the international boundary. The great majority of the fish 
tagged were pinks as was also the case in previous experiments. The returns of fish 
of this species are shown in Table 2. 
The chief route of migration of pink salmon from the region of Cape Fox, Sitklan, 
and Kanaganut Islands is north in Clarence Strait along the eastern shore and into 
Revillagigedo Channel. A large number was taken close to the point of tagging as 
has been a common experience in previous experiments. A fairly large number was 
taken in Behm Canal, especially near the southern entrance. Comparatively few 
went across Clarence Strait to the western shore and only 31 out of 589 recaptures 
(5.3 per cent) were taken in the waters of British Columbia. This is a somewhat 
smaller percentage than was taken in British Columbia during the course of the ex-
