A system which served to stimulate proper marking was to display from time to time on a bulletin board the results obtained from the sampling of salmon taken from each marker. The uumber of marked fish sampled and the number which were acceptable were recorded opposite the aame of each marker. No mention was made of the total number clipped by each individual. The effect was to have each woman striving to improve the quality of her work. Inspecting for Correctness of Marks Fifty-two thousand four hundred ninety-four marked salmon were sampled a1 the time of marking to find out what percentage of the fish wcrr well enough fin clipped so thai there would presumably be little or mi regeneration. Table 3 gives the percentage of each group of fish thai was judged to be properly clipped. The sampling was usually accom- plished by examining an equal number of fish from every marker. In this manner, a check on each person marking fish was also obtained. Occasionally a sea]) net full of salmon was taken from a grouped lot of marked fish in a hatchery trough. Standards were set up for the sam- pling so that each person looking over fin-clipped fish would he judging the marks in the same manner. Frequent comparisons of interpretations as to the acceptability of marks were made by individual samplers to insure uniformity in the sampling techniques. Table 3 shows the different groups of fish with the results of sampling for correctness of marks at the time of marking. The percentage of acceptable marks seemed satis- factory but these salmon were so small that some idea of the actual /. FIGURE 10. King salmon. An extreme example of dorsal
