Summary of catch data, depth plots, track maps, and tag recoveries from adult chinook salmon ultrasonic telemetry 1990-1992, Johnstone Strait, British Columbia / by J.R. Candy, E.W. Carter and B. Riddell.: Fs97-4/2342E-PDF

"Forty-nine chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), with pressure-sensing ultrasonic transmitters, were tracked in Johnstone Strait from mid-August to early September from 1990 to 1992. Fish were taken from the purse seine catches of commercial seine, DFO test fishing, and charter vessels. Tracking durations ranged from 0:15 h to 32:48 h for a total tracking time of 790:45 h. Fish were tracked for distances ranging from 0.1 km to 76.0 km for a total tracking distance of 1420.7 km. Average ground speed for tracks ranged from 0 km/h to 2.7 km/h (mean=1.9 km/h). A total of eight ultrasonic transmitters was returned from anglers, commercial fishermen, and hatcheries. Chinook salmon were recovered after carrying these transmitters from 6 to 62 days for estimated distances of 22 to 500 km"--Abstract, page v.
