RETURNS FROM EXPERIMENTS AT FLAT ISLAND 
Three experiments were conducted at Flat Island, on June 14, June 27, and on July 
23, in which 696 salmon were tagged. Of this number, 190 were reds; 313 were pinks; 
173 were chums; 18 were cohos; and 2 were kings, neither of which was recaptured. 
Red salmon . — The returns from the red salmon tagged at Flat Island are shown in 
Table 7 and indicate a northerly migration chiefly to the streams south of Anchor 
Point. The returns from the experiment of June 14 show a very definite migration 
into English Bay while in the later experiments fewer fish were taken in that vicinity.
