fisheries with traps from the Government district of Stock- 
holm, the annual revenue of this entire fishery may safely 
be estimated at 150,000 kr, 
D. The Coast and Sea Fisheries ^ with the exception of 
the fisheries cited above in A, B, and C. 
Of this fishery there are returns only from the Govern- 
ment district of Bohus and from Skane. In the district of 
Bohus it gave (together with the lobster and oyster fisheries, 
in 1880) : — 
Kr. 
A gross income of 1,339,480 
In the district of Malmohns in 1881 ..... 271,075 
In the district of Kristianstad in 1881 .... 37,506 
In these three districts together . . . 1,648,061 
Estimated at a low figure, the fishery in question in the 
other provinces along the coast may be supposed to yield 
an annual revenue of about 350,000 kr., or an amount that 
makes the annual revenue of these fisheries in the whole 
kingdom, in round numbers, 2,000,000 kr. 
E. The Lake and other Freshwater Fisheries. 
It is scarcely possible to find the approximate value of 
the lake fisheries of Sweden by the official returns now 
at hand, and it is also very difficult to obtain complete 
and reliable statistics with regard to them. The state- 
ments concerning our largest lakes, viz., the Wener, Wetter, 
and Malar, are the most complete ; but in regard to the 
first they are wanting from the Government district of Elfs- 
borg ; in regard to the Wetter, there are no returns from 
the Government districts of Ostergotland and Orebro ; and 
finally in regard to the Malar, they are wanting from the 
Government district of Stockholm. In those parts of the 
above-named three lakes from which returns have been 
obtained, however, the fisheries have amounted to the sums 
shown by the following tables : —
