Sea-Char (Norsk, S^-rUe). 



These fish are found in the rivers and lakes of Nord- 

 land and further north ; they run up to 3 lbs. and 4 lbs., 

 and are handsome sporting fish. When recently from the 

 sea their sides are of a light orange pink, which grows more 

 brilliant with their sojourn in fresh water. They spawn 

 in the lakes or deep pools, and will feed even under a 

 brilliant sun.
