Marking Sockeye At Cultus Hatchery Dr. R. E. Foerster, superintendent of the Pacific Salmon Research Sta- tion at Cultus Lake, has recently been engaged on a tour of the Fraser river canneries and fish traps in the in- terests of the work of the research bureau. During 1926 yearling sockeye to the number of 100,000 were marked by Dr. Foerster and his assistants at the Cul- tus Lake station by remoying both pel- yis fins. - These fish are now in thelr fourth year and a proportionate num- ber should be among those which will fall to the nets of the fishermen this year. As the purpose of the marking of the yearling sockeye was to deter- mine the per cent return from the sea, Dr. Foerster has been visiting the can- neriés for the purpose of securing the co-operation of employees and, man- agement in making a check of the number of fish caught bearing the sears of missing fins. Further in the effort to find ways and means to bring the harvest from the Fraser back to something near the figure which made it famous through- out the world, a c#eck is being made to determine the destination of the salmon in their return to the river. For this plrpose, a specially equipped boat is securing salmon from the trapping grounds, attaching a metal tag to each fish and conveying them to safe waters above Mission beyond the fishing grounds. Later in the season the overseers, in examining the spawning grounds, will be able to se- cure a check of the destination of the fish.—Chilliwack Progress.
