RETURNS FROM EXPERIMENT AT CAPE STARICHKOF 
Three hundred and fifty salmon were tagged at Cape Starichkof on July 22. 
Of this number 202 were red salmon, 121 were pinks, and 27 were cohos. 
Red Salmon . — The returns from the red salmon tagged at Cape Starichkof, as 
given in Table 10, indicate that the principal migration is north along the east shore 
of Cook Inlet to the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. A migration of lesser importance is 
southeast into Kachemak Bay. One tagged fish was captured on the west shore of 
Cook Inlet at Tyonek, and one was reported taken on August 29 at the mouth of the 
Ugashik River, Bristol Bay.
