YOUNG SALMOI^ FROM SWEDEN. 181 



ford ; and several otliers. The mode of trans- 

 port adopted was common pickle bottles, or 

 small bait cans, three parts full of water, 

 carried by the person who wishes to transport 

 them. The water was frequently hadf poured 

 out and fresh added, and air blown into it, on 

 the journey. Young fish thus transported 

 do very well, if properly cared for. On 

 arrival, place them, bottles and all, into the 

 running stream, that the change of tempera- 

 ture be not too great. Of course, with the 

 ordinary chances of war, some of the young 

 fish will die. 



To show what a great distance young fish 

 will travel, I must mention that I received 

 a few weeks since some young salmon all 

 the way from Gothenburg, in Sweden.
