ones. Q.uite 3'oung fry, liowever, is iiot kuowii here; so it is possible it 



breeds outside and immigrates later on. 

 The f reckled Goby [Gohiits mimttus) which, on the olher band, is known for 



certain to breed in there, but then again is not so characteristic of the 



fjord-fauna, as it, just as well, lives and breeds on the open shores (cmp. 



The Sand-Banks). 

 The three-spiued Stickleback [Gasterosteus aculeahis), which also breeds 



here and whose young live among the zostera. 

 The fifteen -spined Stickleback {Spinachia vnlgaris), which is one of the 



fcw annual fishes in onr fauna. The generation of the past year dies 



away shortly after the egg-laying, in the end of June; but in the end of 



August, already, the young fish are about 4 inches long. 

 The broad-nosed Pipe-fish [Siplionostoma iyplilé), which also breeds in 



here, and whicli moreover, like the preceeding forms, is characterised by 



its takiug eare of eggs and fry, actually nursing them; a thing rather 



uneommon among the fishes. 

 The Eel-pout [Zoarces viviparus), which is fouud in all sizes, so that it must 



be supposed to breed in there. 



The following forms, on thé other hånd, never breed in this locality, 



and occur, on the whole, far less constantly in the basin. 

 The Eel [Angmlla vulguris), in various sizes, but rarely in very large speci- 



mens. 

 The Jago's Goldsiuny {Ctenolahrus rupestris), whose proper home is out by 



the stone moles of the outer harbour, or by the stoue rcefs outside the 



harbour. 

 The Plaice and the F lo under [Pleuronedes platessa & flesus), but never the 



fry of the year and rarely grown-up specimens; this is absolutely not 



the place where they breed, and are reared from small. Pleuronectes 



fiesus of middle size is found, however, in rather concidereble uumbers 



in here. 

 God appear now and then in small specimens, but tliey belong to the rarer 



forms in this locality. 

 The short-spined Sea-scorpion [Cottus scorpius) occurs; but it is also rare, 



and the young fish are never found here. 

 Young Herrings iramigrate in large shoals, now and then, in the course of 



summer; but as a rule they do not stay long in here at a time.
