COUNCIL - SEPT. 1910 ~ APPENDIX F — 82 — 



Dr. Knipowitsch agreed and mentioned a very good method of capture by 

 means of nets which was used on the Murman-coast and in the White Sea. 



Dr. Trtbom suggests that certain definite parts of the seal should be obtained 

 on paying the premiums, so that the fishermen should not be able to receive the 

 premiums in more than one country. 



Dr. Trybom, Dr. Johansen, Dr. Witting and Dr. Henking were selected for 

 the purpose of preparing and presenting a draft plan for common action. (See 

 pp. 26—29). 



Dr. Henking. 



B. Conference regarding salmon investigations in tlie Baltic. 



Second Sitting: Monday, September 26th 1910 



Chairman: Geheimrat Rose. 



Also present : Rose, Archer, Trybom, Hamman, Johansen, Henking, Drechsel, Hoek, Mortensen, v. Grimm. 



On opening the sitting at lO^/i a. m. Pres. Rose recommended that the 

 suggestions of Dr. Trybom with regard to the salmon question in the Baltic should 

 first be discussed. 



Dr. Trybom suggested, that a secretary and one, at most two members "from 

 each country might be appointed, in order to investigate on one or several rivers 

 of their country the cause or causes of the decline in the stock of salmon and 

 what might be done by way of improving matters. The decline in the quantity 

 of salmon in the open sea, and its causes, should also be investigated. 



The rivers to be investigated should be settled at the first meeting of the 

 Committee. 



His Exc. V. Grimm thought that the first thing to do was to settle about the 

 rivers to be investigated. After settling the plan of work the Committee must also 

 later settle, what quantity of salmon fry was to be set free in the river in question. 



Dr. Trybom recommended, that the first meeting of the Committee might 

 settle about the rivers to be investigated. 



His Exc. V. Grimm proposed, that the various investigations to be carried 

 out should be definitely stated. Thus the programme should not merely mention 

 the damage caused by drift-wood, but quite definitely that the destructiveness of 

 the acids in the drift- wood etc. etc. should be investigated. 



On the proposal of Mr. Archer, the point was first discussed whether such 

 a Committee should be formed.
