Salmon question. 



Salmon question xhis question has been taken up by the International Council with the view 



of examining the life history of salmon and trout in connection with the 

 question as to whether international measures regarding hatching operations and 

 estaWishment of size hmits etc. for these fish in the Baltic waters should be re- 

 commended. 



A co-operation as to the investigations of this question has been secured 

 for all the countries bordering the Baltic, Professor Henking being the reporter 

 for this co-operative work. 



The extensive programme is printed in Rapports et Procès-Verbaux Vol. 

 XIV, Appendix F, p. 102—111. 



As a result of this co-operation a Report by Professor Henking has appeared, 

 and another report is being drawn up. 



In order to facilitate the investigations, it has been determined that experts 

 from the various Baltic countries should jointly visit the salmon rivers selected 

 for special investigations. It was planned that the first of these joint visits 

 should have taken place in September 1914 (to the Persante in Germany and Gu- 

 denaa in Denmark), but owing to the war, the journey was deferred. 



The co-operative salmon work has, at least in part, been continued during 

 the war.
