In order to investigate homing behavior of mature chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta , we tagged 25 chum salmon using NMT archival tags and released them in the central part of the Bering Sea in the summer of 1998. Three fish tagged were recovered in the eastern coast of Hokkaido in the autumn ofthe same year. We could take the complete data series on light, water pressure, inner and outer temperatures of the fish body from the archival tags recovered. Daily locations of the fish were estimated based on light data and outer temperatures (sea surface temperature). Migration routes determined by connections ofthe daily location suggest that the fish roughly took the shortest course between the release and recovery sites. Vertical movement of the fish was determined by the data on water pressures. We found four behavior patterns of the fish as following. 1) Pattern-A: Staying in the surface waters and in the vicinity of the release sites in the period immediately following tagging (6-15 days): 2) Pattern-B: Frequently repeating to dive into mid-waters and rise to surface waters at daytime (the up-and down behavior) and staying in surface waters at nighttime, migrating long distance from waters near the release sites (Bering Sea) to near the ridges of continental shelf of Hokkaido (47-77 days). 3) Pattern-C: Continuously submerging in deep layers (160-270m) during about 1 day at the ridges of continental shelf of Hokkaido (1 day). 4) Pattern-D: Decreasing frequency ofthe up-and-down behavior at daytime and increasing a tendency to stay in surface waters through day and night, migrating in the coastal waters (2-6 days).
