These recoveries were made by the commercial seiners fishing in this bay shortly after the tags had been affixed. Since all recoveries came from Kendrick Bay, they do not furnish any information on migration. No tags from the Tongass Narrows tagging have been recovered. The possibility for the recovery of these tags will de- pend on whether or not these fish move into other areas where they axe subject to cap- ture by the reduction fishery. The British Columbia fishery did not operate in the 1952/53 season because of price disagreements, so that the possibility of Canadian recoveries was lost for the winter of 1952/53. PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE WINTER OPERATIONS Although the explorations by the John N. Cobb and the commercial fleet did not re- sult in finding numerous concentrations of herring, this by no means eliminates the fu- ture possibility of winter herring fish- ing in Southeastern Alaska. In adjacent British Colmnbia waters only limited concentrations of herring have been found, but these concentrations are so dense as to support a substantial reduc- tion fishery. Ogden Channel in northern British Co- lumbia contributed approximately 480,000 barrels to the British Columbia herring catch in the season of 1951/52. While Ogden Channel is approximately 7 miles long by 2 miles wide, the actual fishing ground was comprised of an area of a- bout one square mile. Prospecting in other areas of the northern subdistrict has failed to reveal other localities with comparable concentrations of herring. Had Ogden Channel been overlooked in exploring these waters, it might have been concluded that herring were not abundant in this FIG. 11 - LAUNCHING SEINE SK
