Popis: Eight sexually mature sockeye ( Oncorhynchus nerka ) and one sexually mature pink salmon ( O. gorbuscha ) were captured in the subsistence fishery in the Sachs River estuary at Sachs Harbour, Banks Island, Northwest Territories (NT) in August 1993. We also report a first record for coho salmon ( O. kisutch ) in Great Bear Lake, NT. These capture locations are well outside the known distributions for the species. A pink salmon captured in the West Channel, Mackenzie River near Aklavik, NT, and a chum salmon ( O. keta ) from Cache Creek [Little Fish Creek], NT, also represent new capture locations within the distribution of the species.
