BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
experiments near Tree Point in 1926 showed that out of 308 recaptured red salmon 
27 were reported from the Nakat Bay district, 54 were taken in British 
Columbian waters, 192 from Kevillagigedo Channel localities, 24 from Behm Canal, 
10 from Clarence Strait, and 1 from Chatham Strait, thus demonstrating that the 
red-salmon runs along this shore are moving northward, 227, or 74 percent having 
been recaptured north of the place of tagging. Of the 81 fish that were taken south 
of Tree Point, one third of them came from Alaskan waters, chiefly from traps on 
the southern shore of Kanagunut Island, the remaining two thirds being reported 
from Canadian waters. This experiment also covered the tagging of cohos, pinks, 
and chums. Of the 41 cohos that were recaptured, approximately 50 percent came 
from the waters of British Columbia, while 7 percent were reported from the Nakat 
Bay district. Only 1 pink salmon out of 26 that were retaken came from this district; 
it was caught at Cape Fox. More than 7 percent of the tagged chums were retaken 
in the district, the greater part of which came from traps at Garnet Point on Kanag- 
unut Island. 
The data for the Nakat Bay district are shown graphically in figure 53 and show 
no serious decline in the productiveness of these fisheries. When viewed in the light 
of the restrictions which have been imposed here there is little reason to assume that 
any real change has occurred. 
UNALLOCATED 
Table 28 gives the unallocated catch of salmon in southeastern Alaska as a whole. 
These data represent the catches that were reported by many operators who gave no 
information as to the localities from which the fish were taken, thus making it wholly 
impossible to show a definite allocation. In practically all of the tables showing the 
catch by districts a section was included giving the unallocated catch in each particular 
district, none of which is included in this table.
