Excerpt from Salmon Tagging Experiments Along the South Shore of Unimak Island and the Southwestern Shore of the Alaska Peninsula Salmon tagging off the south shore of Unimak Island and the southwestern shore of the Alaska Peninsula from mid-june to mid-july of 1961 demonstrated that sockeye and chum salmon move westerly and then northeasterly into the Bering Sea. Lack of movement eastward from Cape Lutke indi cates that this is the last point at which salmon migrating into the Bering Sea are taken south of the Peninsula.

Tagging experiments were conducted in the years 1922, 1923, and 1961 in the Unimak and Southwestern fishing districts of the Alaska Peninsula. In 1922 and 1923 Pacific salmon fish were tagged in Ikatan Bay, Morzhovoi Bay, and near Port Moller, and in 1961 tagging was performed along the south shore of Unimak Island and southwestern tip of the Alaska Peninsula. The vast majority of fish tagged were sockeye (red) and chum. This report describes the recapture sites and percentage of recovery.
