If the fry of landlocked sockeye salmon, are liberated in streams which lead to sea will they go out to salt water and then return in due course to reproduce normal sea sockeye? Canadian scientists are studying this question out in British Columbia and should they find an affirmative answer it would be possible to increase greatly the commercial sockeye production, for eggs of the landlocked salmon, or " kokan,ee " or " redfish " as it is gçnerally known, are obtainable in abundance in different Pacific coast areas. For the present, however, the investigators carrying on the work express no opinion as to its probable results.
