In 1935, five weekly taggings were carried on from July 22 to August 17. In 1936, be- 
cause of a heavy storm on the week 
end of August 8, only four weekly 
taggings were carried on over a sim- 
ilar period of time; July 18 to 
August 15. It was for this reason 
that twice the usual number of 
salmon were tagged on August 15. 
Tables 4 and 5 also give the 
number and percent of tagged 
salmon recovered from each of 
the experiments and the localities 
in which they were captured. 
These localities, as stated in tables 
1, 2, and 3, are listed under the 
geographic areas in which they 
occur. The average number of 
days the tagged salmon were en 
route before recapture are also 
reported but, owing to the ex- 
treme variability in the rate of 
travel, as indicated by the dates 
the salmon were recaptured, the 
authors do not feel justified in 
drawing definite conclusions about 
this phase of the salmon migrations. 
However, since this information is of general interest, it is reported in the tables. The 
seasonal trends in the percentages of salmon recovered in the geographic areas, as 
Figure 4. — Trends in the percentage recoveries of tagged pink salmon 
from the weekly tagging experiments in 1935 and 1936 at McLean 
Point.
