212 Thirty-fifth Annual Meeting 
But a fact is that I have seen a great number of young salmon 
caught in May in Holland, and I am sure that they are fishes of 
thirteen to fourteen months only. I studied and described these 
fishes at some length and I would very much like to know how it 
has been ascertained that all the voung Atlantic salmon remain 
in the American east coast rivers for two years”

The Swedish government prosecutes fish cultural work 
through the Agricultural Societies, which receive subventions 
from the state for this work. At the head of these societies is 
the Royal Board of Agriculture. The Inspector of Fisheries is 
a member of the board and reports to it. 
Artificial work is applied to the propagation of Atlantic sal- 
mon (Salmo salar); landlocked salmon; lake trout (Salmo 
trutta lacustris) ; sea trout (Salmo trutta); charr (Salmo sal- 
velinus) ; whitefish (various species of Coregonus). » The fish 
produced are mostly liberated as fry. There are in all forty-two 
hatcheries, of which the majority receive subventions from the 
state. In the year 1904 the agricultural societies paid out for 
fish culture 25,158 crowns ($6,793) and 600 crowns ($162) 
were expended on an establishment at Finspong, which belongs to 
the state and defrays its expenses in part by the sale of eggs and 
fry. 
The total number of eggs handled in the different hatcheries 
in the year 1904 was as follows: |

Many instances of suecessful results are reported. Fish cul- 
ture is in favor with the public, as is shown by the demand for 
fish planting.
