54753 square miles of freshwater, the fisheries of which 
ought accordingly to yield an annual income of 1,224277 kr. 
In Svealand (the seven central districts) there are 54336 
square miles of fresh water. Calculating according to the 
returns from lake Oje, situated in this part, the annual 
gross income of these waters would be 807,976 kr. 
In Norrland (the five northern Government districts), 
containing 185,524 square miles of fresh water — the annual 
gross income of these, calculated in accordance with the 
returns relating to the Hornafvan and the lakes con- 
nected with it, would amount to 182,731 kr., or together 
2,2 14984 kr. 
The object in calculating these amounts — 4^746,553 
and 2,214,984 kr. — has only been to show that the 
3,000,000 kr. which was before stated as the probable annual 
value of the freshwater fisheries of Sweden — the salmon 
fisheries excepted — was by no means too high. 
The value of all the fisheries of Sweden, estimated 
approximately, but judging from all appearances by no 
means too high, should therefore amount to : — 
Kr. 
A. For the herring and sprat fisheries .... 3,065,000 
B. For the salmon fisheries 625,000 
C. For the eel-fishery with traps on the coasts . . 150,000 
D. For other coast and sea-fisheries 2,000,000 
E. For the lake fishery 3,000,000 
Total ..... 8,840,000
