BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. 
Art. I. Article II of the convention concluded at 
Stockholm on July 14, 1899, regarding fishery 
relations in the navigable waters bordering on 
Sweden and Denmark, is modified so as to read 
as follows: 
In the Sound fishing shall everywhere be al- 
lowed the subjects of both countries without dis- 
tinction, provided, however, that on the shores on 
both sides the Sound within a depth of 7 meters 
the subjects of the other country shall not engage 
in any other fishing than herring fishing with nets. 
Only ‘“‘nardingar’’ may be used as drift nets in 
herring fishing. Outside the aforementioned 7- 
meter limit in the Sound all kinds of fishing with 
trawls or seines is forbidden. 
On the Middle Ground (Middelgrund) the use 
of bait-nets shall also be permitted. As bait-nets 
are included nets in which the length of the arms 
does not exceed altogether 714 meters (4 fathoms). 
On the coasts of Bornholm and Kristians6, as 
well as on the Swedish coast from Falsterbo to 
Simrishamn, herring fishing with drift nets shall 
be permissible to the subjects of both countries 
from May 1 to August 31. 
Owners of shores and fishing rights shall retain 
the privileges to which they are entitled under 
the laws and constitutions of each country. 
Art. II. Plaice which do not measure 25% centi- 
meters in total length (21 centimeters from tip of 
nose to base of tail) must not be found on board 
any vessel or boat engaged in fishing or in dealing 
in fish in the Kattegatt, its coves or fjords, nor 
shall they be imported on the coasts of the Katte- 
gatt, its coves or fjords, or be kept for sale or 
offered for sale or sold, or conveyed from one 
place to another, but such plaice when caught 
while fishing, from a boat or from shore, shall be 
thrown back into the sea as soon as possible and 
as far as possible unhurt. 
The same rules apply to the Sound; neverthe- 
less, with the exception of the adjacent water 
and land at Halsingborg, Landskrona, and Malmé 
on the Swedish side and Helsingér and Képen- 
hamn on the Danish side, plaice caught in the 
Sound and measuring at least 21 centimeters in 
total length (17 cm. from tip of nose to base of 
tail), will be allowed on board and may be im- 
ported for consumption in some of the communes 
lying nearest the coasts of the Sound. 
Art. III. This declaration goes into effect 
November 1, 1907. 
In witness whereof the undersigned have signed 
this agreement and affixed thereto their seals. 
Done at Stockholm in two copies on the 5th day 
of October, 1907.
