safely assumed that the revenue is stated rather too low 
than too high.” 
As the amount just mentioned— 2,634264 kr.— does not 
include the value of the herring fishery of the district of 
Sodermanland, the yearly revenue of this fishery on the 
coasts of the Baltic and the Sound (Oresund) may be 
estimated in round numbers at 2,650,000 kr. 
According to the latest obtainable yearly reports of the 
Fishery Inspector of the Government district of Gothenburg 
and Bohus, the value of herrings and sprats caught in this 
district in 1880 was 354,298 kr., and for the years since 
that time the amount might probably be doubled. 
When, finally, to this is added the value of the herring 
fishery of Halland, which in 1881 was estimated at “fully 
60,000 crowns,” the revenue of the herring and sprat 
fisheries of the whole country may be estimated in round 
numbers at 3,065,000 kr.
