SALMON TAGGING IN ALASKA, 1929 
195 
2. The salmon taken at Nubble Point were distributed over much the same region 
as those tagged at Flat Island. A greater number of the red salmon, however, were 
taken north of Anchor Point. Three reds were taken near Kodiak Island and two 
were taken in Prince William Sound. As before, the pinks and chums were recaptured 
in greatest numbers in the bays of Kachemak Bay. It is interesting to note that most 
of the tagged salmon captured in localities other than Cook Inlet were tagged in the 
early part of the season. 
3. The red salmon tagged at Cape Starichkof were chiefly distributed along the 
east shore of Cook Inlet, north to the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. A few were taken in 
Kachemak Bay. The migration of the pink salmon was almost exclusively to Kache- 
mak Bay. If any pink salmon do spawn in the streams north of Anchor Point, it is 
probable that the run is quite late, since only in the later experiments were recaptures 
of tagged pink salmon reported in the upper reaches of Cook Inlet, and then in num- 
bers too few to indicate a definite migration. 
4. The main route of migration of the salmon caught at Nikishka Bay is south 
along the east shore of Cook Inlet to the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers, where important 
spawning areas are located. Fish were also distributed along the east shore north of 
Nikishka Bay and along the west shore. The northerly migration seems to be of slight 
importance.
