Abstract
IN recent years a number of authors have reported the recapture in the Greenland area of salmon originally tagged as either smolts or spent fish in British, Canadian and Swedish waters1. During the month of October 1964 four salmon originally tagged in rivers in the west of Ireland in County Mayo as clean or spent fish have been reported as having been recaptured off the west coast of Greenland. The details are given in Table 1.
