BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
Pink salmon . — Of the 313 pink salmon tagged here, 162 (51.8 per cent) were 
recaptured. The data are presented in Table 7. There was a distinct northerly 
movement up Cook Inlet into Port Graham, and into the many bays in Kachemak 
Bay, where 32.7 per cent of the recaptures were made. Only 2 fish were reported 
taken north of Anchor Point and they were both tagged in the experiment of July 23. 
Two were taken south of Flat Island in Port Chatham and Windy Bay, 1 in Kamishak 
Bay on the west shore of Cook Inlet, and 3 were taken in different parts of Prince 
William Sound after periods of from 8 to 35 days. 
Chum salmon . — As in the case of the pink salmon, the chums tagged at Flat 
Island were distributed to the bays and inlets along the east shore of Cook Inlet 
south of Anchor Point. Of the 173 chums tagged, 43 (24.9 per cent) were recaptured. 
The data are given in Table 7. 
Coho salmon . — Eighteen cohos were tagged in the final experiment at Flat Island 
and 3 (16.7 per cent) were recaptured; 1 at Flat Island after 4 days, 1 in Port Graham 
after 2 days, and 1 in Mallard Bay after 8 days. 
RETURNS FROM EXPERIMENTS AT NUBBLE POINT 
Experiments were conducted here on June 26 and on July 18. Out of a total of 
599 fish tagged, 151 were red salmon, 397 were pinks, and 51 were chums. 
Red salmon . — The data relative to the capture of red salmon tagged at this locality 
are given in Table 8. From this table it may be seen that the fish were largely bound 
for spawning streams along the east shore of Cook Inlet. Of the recoveries, 21.6 
per cent were made north of Anchor Point, indicating that a part of these fish were 
bound for the larger spawning streams of the upper inlet. 
It is interesting to note that all fish other than those taken along the east shore of 
Cook Inlet were tagged early in the season. One was taken at Chisik Island on the 
west shore, 1 at Kalgin Island, 3 in the vicinity of Kodiak Island after from 4 to 8 
days, and 2 in Prince William Sound after 13 and 17 days. 
Pink salmon . — Of the 397 pink salmon tagged, 250 (63 per cent) were recaptured 
and the data are presented in Table 8. As in the case of the Flat Island experiments, 
the recoveries of tagged pink salmon were confined almost entirely to the bays indent- 
ing the east shore of Cook Inlet south of Anchor Point. One hundred and sixty-five 
(66 per cent) of the recaptures were made in Kachemak Bay, the streams of which 
provide the largest known pink salmon spawning grounds in Cook Inlet. One fish 
was taken at Anchor Point and one was taken north of Anchor Point at Deep Creek. 
Chum salmon. — Fifty-one chum salmon were tagged in the experiment of June 26, 
and 26 (51 per cent) were recaptured. The data are presented in Table 13. The 
localities where recaptures were made are almost identical with the localities of recap- 
tured chum salmon tagged at Flat Island.
