A total of 53,511 and 27,261 age-1 hatchery-reared smolts originating from first generation captive-brood and wild masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) were marked with a fin clip and released into the Ken-ichi River of southwestern Hokkaido in 2007. Some of them returned to the Ken-ichi River for spawning in 2008, and we estimated the number of fish using markrecapture. As the number of adult masu salmon from captive-brood and wild age-1 smolts was estimated to be 537+-103 and 746+-155 respectively, each return rate into the river was calculated as 1.00 and 2.74%.
