The percentage of recoveries in area 1, from the weekly taggings at McLean 
Point, tended to be highest in the early part of the season and lowest in the latter 
part, thus indicating a seasonal decrease in the portion of the run passing McLean 
Point that was bound for area 1. In reviewing the number of tagged salmon recov- 
ered in area 1 (see tables 4 and 5), it was found that very few were captured in the 
localities east of Cape Fox and in the south arm of Behm Canal. Considerable 
numbers were captured in Kevillagigedo Channel and the north arm of Behm Canal. 
The largest numbers, however, were recovered consistently along the west shores 
of Annette and Gravina Islands. 
The percentage of recoveries in area 2 from the weekly taggings tended to be 
lowest in the early part of the season and highest in the latter part. This is just the 
reverse of the seasonal trends in area 1. In other words, there was a very definite 
seasonal increase in the percentages of the pink salmon tagged at McLean Point that 
were recovered in area 2. The localities in which these recoveries were made were 
scattered along the east shore of Prince of Wales Island from Kendrick Bay to Kasaan 
Bay. During the first part of the season a large proportion of the salmon were recap- 
tured just north of the point of tagging but, as the season progressed, more and more 
were reported from localities in the vicinity of Kasaan Bay.
