A STUDY ON TROUT AND YOUNG SALMON. 



Later on, during autumn, a series of fishing experiments 

 were carried out, thus at Vik in Nordland, in Lekø and at 

 Brønø, later on also on in the neighhourhood of Fredriksveern and in 

 Eidanger on the south coast. The results were perfectly analo- 

 gous to those obtained in the Trondhjemsfjord i. e. : I did not 

 succeed in catching one single smolt in the sea. 



During the month of July I had the opportunity of for 

 some time accompanying Dr. Hjort on a cruise along Jæderen. 

 In this locality some hauls with the eelhandseine were effected, 

 the results in no respect differing from those above. 



In the month of October fishing experiments were carried 

 out along the fiord between Trondhjem and Orkedalsøren with 

 similar results. 



In the mouth of the Orkla large numbers of trout were 

 present. They had the same appearrance a those cought during 

 spring i. e., there were more or less spotted. A small proportion 

 had recently spawned. 



On October 23, 1898, 3 hauls with the eelhandseine in the 

 mouth of the Orkla thus yielded: 187 trout 17 — 34 cm. 



Kalstad, Meldal (ca. 40 km. up the Orkla) October, 25, 

 1898: 



Many hauls with the eelhandseine through differens pools 

 and rapids yielded: 



11 trout 27—43 cm. 



2 young salmon (parr) 6—8 cm. 



During late autumn of the same year fishing experiments 

 were from time to time carried out in the vicinity of Trond- 

 hjem and at Sundnæs, Inderøen. 



Results: trout were the only salmonid fishes cought. 



During the whole of this summer opportunities were availe- 

 able for constantly examining the large qauntities of salmon 

 and trout passing through the stores of several Trondhjem fish^
