In only one tagging experiment of those reviewed by Pritchard (1934) were the 
recoveries in southern Puget Sound greater than those in the northern part of the 
region. The major part of the recoveries of fish tagged in this experiment, on the 
northeast coast of Vancouver Island, were taken in the vicinity of the mouth of the 
Skagit River or in the river itself. This stream, which has supplied the greater 
portion of the kings gill netted in the Puget Sound region, supports the largest run 
in the southern area. The other tagging experiments confirm the inferences drawn 
from the trap-catch data as to the importance of the northern streams, since the 
greater proportion of recoveries made in the inner waters of the region have been 
taken in the northern districts of Puget Sound or in the Fraser River itself. 
SEASONAL OCCURRENCE IN VARIOUS AREAS 
The general seasonal occurrence of king salmon in different types of gear has 
already been presented, but a further consideration of occurrence in traps indicates 
certain specific differences in the runs in various parts of the region. The occurrence 
of kings from traps in several restricted areas was calculated in a manner similar to 
that used for the entire region, see section on trap fishery. The average proportions 
of the annual catch taken in each week of the season in these different areas are pre- 
sented in table 43. For location of areas, see figures 2 and 3.
