PROTOCOL. 
1. In order to determine more precisely the vigi- 
lance to be exercised, for insuring the observance 
of the provisions of the fishery convention con- 
cluded this day between H. M. the King of Sweden 
and Norway and H. M. the King of Denmark, in 
accordance with Article X of said convention, the 
undersigned, being empowered for the purpose by 
their Governments, have declared that the super- 
vision over fishery exercised by one country shall not 
extend over the territory of the other country nor 
be exercised against the subjects of the other coun- 
try on the navigable waters lying outside the fish- 
ing regions reserved to each country, besides which 
they have made the following special declarations: 
The Swedish Government declares its willingness 
to order the respective district governments to 
exercise strict vigilance to prevent violation of the 
various provisions of the convention by private 
individuals, and it will endeavor, to the extent that 
circumstances permit, to prepare further regula- 
tions for the purpose of insuring the due observance 
of the provisions of the convention by Swedish sub- 
jects, for which purpose it has particularly deemed 
that the gunboat usually stationed during the fall 
and winter months along the coast of Bohuslan 
might be ordered, when its presence there during 
these months is not required and when other cir- 
cumstances do not oppose, to visit the fishing 
regions set off in the convention in order to exercise 
the necessary vigilance over the fishing, or else, to 
the extent that the necessary funds may be pro- 
vided by the Parliament, that the same or another 
gunboat might be employed for the purpose even 
during other seasons of the year. 
The Danish Government declares itself willing 
to take the necessary steps to execute the pro- 
visions of the Convention and to maintain police 
supervision. 
2. The undersigned, duly authorized, have 
furthermore agreed that in case of diversity of 
opinion between the contracting powers as to in- 
terpretation or execution of the provisions of the 
Convention, when such diversity can not be ad- 
justed by diplomatic measures, the matter shall be 
submitted to arbitration. 
In witness whereof the undersigned have signed 
this protocol in two copies and affixed their seals 
on same. 
Done at Stockholm on the 14th day of July, 1899.
