Note. — N o catches were reported in the years not shown in any division of this table. 
Table 23 shows in detail the known catches of salmon in the Clarence Strait 
district. For statistical purposes the district was divided into two parts — northern 
and southern — the dividing line extending from a point on Cleveland Peninsula K mile 
east of Niblack Point directly across the strait to a point 3 miles northwest of the 
southern extremity of Grindall Point on Prince of Wales Island. This line of division 
was selected because tagging experiments have shown that, in general, the fish taken 
north of this line enter the strait from the north, while those south of the line enter 
through the southern entrance to Clarence Strait. The results of tagging experi- 
ments in several places in 1924 and subsequent years indicate that an appreciable 
number of salmon cross this line, but the bulk of the runs in both sections are probably 
dispersed largely to the streams nearby and to those of the contiguous districts. 
The table lists 53 localities in the northern part of the district, the most important 
of which are Eagle Creek, Etolin Island, Lake Bay, Lemesurier Point, Meyers Chuck, 
Mosman Inlet, Narrow Point, Niblack Point, Northwest Cove, Onslow Island, Ratz 
Harbor, Salmon Bay, Ship Island, Steamer Bay, Throne Bay, Tolstoi Bay, and Whale 
Passage. The unallocated catches in this part of the strait include salmon from 26 
minor or unknown localities, as follows: Rocky Point, Barnes Bay, Cadays Creek, 
Big Bay, Blashke, Center Island, Clarence Pass, Tom Ka Days Bay, Dewey Anchor- 
age, Indian Creek, Kindergarten Bay, Meridian Rock, Point Stevenson, Snug Anchor- 
age, West Island, Forss Cove, Codeys Bay, Thom Cadez Bay, Fire Island, Kamano 
Island, Mabel Island, Olsen Cove, Rays Island, Stickson Bay, East Island, and Gull 
Point.
