Proposition 



f..i- 



Experiments with Transplantation of Plaice 



fnvni 



The German Sea to Thisted-Bredning and Vilsund. 



1. A Bill sliould lie jirepared witli ii view t(i prescrving tlie plaiee and 

 managino- tlic plaicctrade in Thisted-Bredning and Vilsund in sucli a 

 way tliat we might expect thereby to derive the greatest possible profit 

 trom the transplantation. — Only the locnl tishei'men should be entitled 

 to fish for plaice in the said waters. — 



'2 \\\wn the Bill has beoome a Law the materiel and the money necessary 

 i'or the annnal transplantation should be plaeed at the disposal of the 

 Miological Station. The transplantation should tiien be earried out by 

 the Station aoeording to a fixed ]ilan. — 



i). E.Kpei'iments with transplantation of plaii-e into the said waters shonld 

 be earried out for 5 years atter the Bill was passed. After that time these 

 matters should be managed in aceordance with the experienee we 

 had got. — 



When it is }n'oposed, already while the transplantation is earried out by 

 the Government, that only the local fishermen should he entitled to fish for 

 the plaiee. the rcason is that. otherwise. they would in all probability be fished 

 up in too short a time, as also that the local fishermen all the year round are 

 subjcct to the regulations, while outsiders are subject to them only as long 

 as they themselves ehoose to fish in these \\'aters, which of course will chiefl\' 

 be at the time when the regulations for preserving the fish are partly out of 

 force, viz. in autunm when the plaice are to be fished up. *)

 by the Amtiuan«! of Thisted at that time Fni/c, was given by a Ko val deciee of 

 1811. The (•oregonus tishery has afterwards, tor many reasons, ceased in these 

 waters 'on account of einbankinents and the breaking through of the sea, ete.); but 

 there is thus in a way a precedent for a vi'ry spofial tishery logislation or regiila-
