SALMON TAGGING IN ALASKA, 1929 
187 
It has often been suggested that the fish taken at Squire Island enter Prince 
William Sound chiefly through Bainbridge and Prince of Wales Passages, but the 
number of fish tagged in Montague Strait and recaptured at Squire Island would 
indicate a very definite westward migration from Montague Strait through Knight 
Island Passage. It seems probable, therefore, that the majority of the fish that pass 
through Knight Island Passage enter from Montague Strait and not through the other 
smaller channels. 
RETURNS FROM EXPERIMENTS AT JOHNSTONE POINT 
Pink salmon . — Tagging experiments were conducted at Johnstone Point on July 
15 and again on July 30. In these experiments, 342 pink salmon were tagged and 
117 (34.2 per cent) were recaptured. The recaptures, with few exceptions, were 
made along the east shore of Prince William Sound. The returns are shown in Table 
6 and Figure 6.
