through this means and by the aid of the present improved 
method of preservation, even fresh fish from Sweden can 
find a market abroad. 
We see from these facts that the Swedish fisheries may 
anticipate a promising future, and it is, therefore, to be 
hoped that the approximate calculation given below of the 
yearly revenue of these fisheries, as compiled under my 
direction by the Fishery Assistant, Mr. Trybom, may only 
be a provisional one, especially as the statistical reports 
on the Swedish fisheries are very scanty and incomplete. 
It may be of value, however, as indicating what Sweden at 
present has to show in this respect.
