American Fisheries Society. 213 
Of exotic species the American rainbow trout and the Ameri- 
ean brook trout have been introduced, the former having re- 
ceived greater attention; but results have not yet been reported. 
In recent years a good many ponds have been constructed by 
private parties for the cultivation of carp and tench. For trout 
culture the principal private establishment is that at Engelsburg, 
belonging to a private society and devoted mainly to the cultiva- 
tion of rainbow trout. Complete statistics of these matters are 
lacking. 
In 1897 there was organized a Swedish Fisheries Society, 
located at Stockholm, where it publishes a journal appearing six 
times a year, the “Svensk Fiskeritidskrift.” In 1996 another 
society, the Southern Swedish Fisheries Society, has been or- 
ganized, chiefly for the purpose of founding and conducting an 
experimental station for fish culture and fisheries in ponds and 
lakes; for the breeding of fish races of rapid growth and adapted 
to the climate of southern Sweden; for the founding of a school 
for fresh water culture. The station is under construction at 
Aneboda, in the province of Smaland, embracing the fisheries 
school and about one hundred acres of artificial fish ponds; and 
besides these ponds the society has rented several small lakes for 
experiments. 
FINLAND.* 
In Finland the government engages in fish culture, and the 
duties connected with the work devolve upon an officer stvled the 
Inspector of Fisheries. 
The species artificially propagated are whitefish (Coregonus 
lavaretus and albula); brown trout, (Salmo fario) American 
rainbow trout (S. irideus); American brook trout (S. fonti- 
nalis) ; pike, (Esox lucius); roach, (Leuciscus rutilus) ; and 
charr, (Salmo salvelinus). The fishes hatched are liberated at 
various ages, but mostly as fry. 
There are two public fish cultural stations, one at Evois and 
one at Helsingfors. The former is termed an experimental sta- 
tion, and the latter is connected with a Fisheries Museum.
