COUNCIL — APRIL 1912 — APPENDIX F — 98 



Appendix F 

 A. Protocol of the Committee for the Salmon question of the Baltic 



First Sitting: 24th April 1912. 



Chairman : His Exc. v. Grimm. 

 Also present: Henking, Johansen, Sandman. Trybom. 



Pres. v. Grimm opened the sitting at 4.15, and enquired of Dr. Henking 

 which river had been selected for the purposes of investigation in Germany. 



Dr. Henking stated in reply, that there was some question of taking the 

 Persante in Pomerania. No definite decision had however yet been made. 



Dr. Johansen. In Denmark the Gudenaa has been selected. 



Dr. v. Grimm. As far as Russia is concerned the only river to be considered 

 is the Luga, but the holders of the fishing rights decline to give the required 

 statistics, for which reason the river in question could not be said to fulfil the 

 conditions demanded. Would it not be sufficient to make thorough investigations 

 in a single river in any one country? 



Dr. Sandman. In Finland the Uleâ river has been selected, as being excel- 

 lently suited to the purpose; the entire fishing rights are the property of the Grown, 

 and there is no contamination of the water. 



Dr. Trybom. A suitable river in Sweden would be the Ângermanelf. — 

 With regard to His Exc. v. Grimm suggestion, it would surely be better to in- 

 vestigate one river in each of the countries in question. 



Dr. Sandman and Dr. Johansen were of the same opinion. It would be 

 advantageous to compare results obtained in several different countries. 



Dr. v. Grimm would do all that could be done to obtain some results in 

 Russia. Possibly another river might be found where investigation might be made 

 for the purpose of comparison. 



Dr. Henking then asked whether the representatives of the countries con- 

 cerned were prepared to commence operations, and furnished with the necessary 

 means for same. This was not the case in Germany. 



Dr. Johansen, Dr. Sandman, Dr. Trybom stated that they had means to begin the 

 investigations and that the Fishery Officials would be able to render considerable 

 assistance. 



Dr. v. Grimm. Russia is also furnished with the necessary funds.
