Salmon From SE Alaska Caught Here
A tagged male Pink slamon
travelled across the Gulf of Alaska
in a little over a months time, and
was captured in Sitkalidak Straits
across from Old Harbor.
The salmon, which has grown
two inches since it was tagged on
July 7, 1961, was recovered last
Friday, August 11, by the boat
Elina, skippered by Nick Kaguyak.
Other crew members aboard the
Elina are Sven Haakansen and
Victor Petersen.
Tagged off of Southeastern Alas
ka, 255 miles from Forester Island,
location 140* degrees, 46 minutes
west longitute and 54 degrees, 47
minutes north latitude, the fish

took it into the Kodiak Island area.
No other fish tagged similarly was
taken.
The Pink was tagged by the ves
sel Ocean Pride, which was under
charter of the Fisheries Research
Institute. Biologist aboard was Al
bert Palmer. The tagging is being
done by the North Pacific Com
mission under the. North Pacific
treaty.
Data indicates he had grown 2
inches. His length when recovered
was 21 Vi inches, according to Don

SHORT SUPPLY
Although the future prospects
for the U. S. aluminum industry
have never been brighter—the
nation produces only one quarter
of the bauxite it needs. Bauxite,
the raw material from which alum
inum is made, is only found in
Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia,
and thus three-fourths of the U. S.
requirement must be imported.
