Abstract
1. During the 1920's, plantings of anadromous sockeye fry in small barren lakes tributary to Stuart Lake produced (in addition to smolts) lake-maturing "residual" sockeye dull in colour at maturity. The samples taken contained a large excess of females. 2. The kokanee of Cultus Lake, caught in 1934–36, were all of one year-class and are now believed to have been progeny of Kootenay Lake (West End) kokanee eggs hatched and reared at Cultus Lake, though not intentionally planted there. These kokanee were of a bright colour at maturity, like their parent stock, and matured mostly at age 2+.Keywords
