;Uncle Sam
WASHINGTON, April S. Fishing
for the cIugIvo salmon with n pnlr
of pliers and a button, Undo Sam lias
practically succeeded In solving the
mystery of the life history of this
lordly fish.
It was not merely a fishing c.xpc
dltlon for the fun or It, but a serious
nttampt on the part of the govern
ment Ichthyologists to lift the veil of
mystery which has enshrouded the
salmon.
'Recently, however, the bureau of
fisheries hit upon the Idea of mark
ing specimens of the fish and- trac
ing their movements. The button Is
clamped through the tnll of the sal
mon. One face shows the words "U.
Sa Fish," the other the number with
which the scientists "christen" the
specimen.
The location chosen for the mark
ing of the salmon was the Washing
ton state fish trap, a few hundred
yards nbove the head of Sand Island.
IL was selected by the government
bucanse It marks the limits on the
north of the area over which the glll
nat fishermen operate. Standing as
Itldoes on the line which separates
the glllnettors field and the set traps,
It , is especially well located for tho
experiments.
lThero were 59 fish marked and
liberated on August 11 25 chlnook
salmon, 10 slivers and 18 steelhcnds.
These fish ranged In total length
from 41 to .103 centimetres for the
chlnooks, 4 7 to 78 cm. for the bII
vors and 71 to 00 for the stcelheads,
demonstrating that while the fish
wpre small In number they were well
distributed in size.
Information of tho Import of the
experiment was given out to tho fish
ery Interests on the Columbia river
with the request that they record the
place and details of the catch of any
marked fish.
jThelr co-operation resulted In the
capture of 17 out of the 59 marked
fish, representing 29 per cent of
those liberated, which was a favora
ble proportion, considering tho 12 to
15 days of the closed season. Of the
17 captured six were chlnooks, six
silver salmon and five steolhoads.
The period between the time of lib
eration and recapture of all speci
mens was 57 days.
iThe record made by the officials
UDon tho receipt of tho buttons and
i'iViI talis, which has just been made
public hero, sheds considerable light
on the life history of the salmon. Hy
coniparliiB tho facts recorded at the
time of liberation with those of thf
time of capture scientists have been j
able to figure out something of the
individual history of each fish. Hy
examination of the button scientists
were able to tell whether the fish
spent his time in salt water or fresh.
The degree of corrosion of the alu
minum button gave an index of the
time spent In salt water. Whero cor
rosion occurred extensively In a short
tlnio It was assumed that the fish
spent most of his time In concentrat
ed sea water.
An examination of the records
showed that each group of the three
species liberated Included certain In
dividuals that apparently lived in sea
wntor long enough to produco corro
sion of the marking buttons.
1 Chinook No. 113 was caught six
days after liberation and by a purse
solne operating near Republic Spit.

a point marked by the wreckage of a
vessel whlcn obstructs the channel
off the south shore or Sand Island.
It Is four miles down the river from
the state trap, The nlumlnuni mark
ing button or this salmon was qulto
smooth, demonstrating thnt the rish
had not gone out Into tho sea. It Is
probable, therefore, that this salmon
spent his time swimming back and
forth In the tidewater or tho vicinity
In the process or accllmitlzation.
Whether or not It swam long dis
tances, either up or down Btream, can
not bo ascertained.
Silver salmon No. 97 had the most
deeply corroded and pitted button ot
the entire series. It was more cor
roded than chlnook No. 123, which
was out 31 days. No. S9 was also a
deepluy corroded button. These two
fish, 89 and 97, therefore, bear evi
dence of a considerable sojourn In
salt or brackish water.
Steelhcad No. 124, out 33 days,
shows slight corrosion, but No. 98,
out 52 dnys, shows marked corrosion.
It Is evident, teroforo, tat No. 124
spent little time in tidewater, while
the coroslon or the button or the lat
ter Indicates considerable contact
with salt water.
The speed or migration Is divided
Into two periods, first, the migration
through the various stages of tide
water, and, second, the mlgrntlon up
the river when once within fresh wa
ter. This experiment was launched
in tho tidewater zone, hence. It can
not solve o'thor speed period. The
hypothesis Is, however, that salmon
travel at nn average speed that Is ap
parently uniform for different Indi
viduals under similar conditions. This
Is demonstrated somewhat by the fol
lowing recerd:
Number 76 was 28 days out and
traveled 210 miles, 75 was out 2 7
days and traveled 210 miles, S9 was
out 30 dnys and traveled 30 nillea
and 79 was 33 days out and, accord
ing to record, It traveled 210 miles,
In the sunimnry of conclusions giv
en by the officials, It Is stated that

the observations are entirely too fow
to make the deductions absolutely
conclusive, but that the rollowlng
facts arc satisfactorily established:
1. That salmon tnke rrom 30 to 40
dnys to pass through brackish water
within tho limits of the fishing wa
ters at the mouth of the Columbia
river.
2. Th (ft salmon spend considerable
time swimming back and forth in
tldcwnter during the acclimatization
to fresh water is Indicated by the
fact that two fishes were taken below
the point at which they were marked;
by the corrosion or the aluminum
mnrklng buttons by salt water, and
by the long time spent by certain
rishes In reaching the lower limits ot
rrcsh water.
3. When wholly within fresh wn
tor, the silver salmon and the steel
head mnko tho mlgrntory journey nt
an averngo speed or rrom six to sev
en and one-hnir miles a day and prob
ably more.
4. There Is little evidence thnt the
process or marking or that the par
tial obstruction or the course by rish
lng gear does more than produce a
temporary checking or the migratory
Journey.
