millions of larvae were liberated in spring, was 

 very poor. The Sondeledfiord where 33 millions 

 were liberated was a little richer. But the inner 

 part of the fiord, where the majority of the fry was 

 liberated was exceedingly poor. The greater part of the 

 fry caught in this fiord belongs to the section of the fiord 

 nearest to the coast and the " Skiaergaard." This part 

 was examined a couple of weeks later than the inner part

of the fiord and about three weeks later than the Sandnes 

 and Stole fiords. It can be proved that the number of 

 fry increased during this time, because also the Sandnes- 

 fiord early in September was much richer in fry than it 

 was in July. A similar diagram (fig. 7) showing the 

 results for September-October will show this still more 

 clearly.
