230 KNUT DAHL. 



Many young trout same size. 



Numbers of flounders (very small) and 1 a g o n u s. 



A couple of days later these small salmon, as well as the 

 trout, commenced appearing in our houls down in the mouth 

 of the river. 



We also here got great numbers of larger „trout", some 

 very much spotted others less spotted and some very shiny. 



Until the 25th of May, these investigations were continued, 

 in and around the mouth of the Orkla 



Young salmon occurred only in the hauls effected in the 

 river, or in the very mouth of the river. As soon as we left 

 the river mouth and continued our fishing outward along both 

 shores of the fiord, young salmon were never cought, only larger 

 or smaller numbers of trout, more or less spotted. 



From May 26 until June 12 we fished in the Gula, the 

 mouth of the Gula and the fiord Gulosen, where a large num- 

 ber of houls were done with the eelhandseine. 



In the Gula itsself and in the rivermouth, nearly every 

 houl brought the young of as well salmon as trout, besides 

 large quantities of larger more or less spotted trout, varying in 

 length from 15—20—40 cm. 



As an example may be quoted: 



Mouth of the Gula, May 27, 13 houls with 2 seines fi-om 

 both sides of the middle channel, yield: 



6 young salmon, ca. 10 cm. long, 



28 trout of different sizes. 



Numbers of young flounders and gobies. 



1 mallotus villosus. 



Mouth of the Gula, May 31. 



A couple of houls with eelhandseine in the middle channel 

 yielded. 



8 young salmon 10 — 12 cm. 

 17 trout 12—42 cm. 

 A number of flounders.
