GENERAL REMARKS 
The fifhery in this river begins about Midfummer, at which time 
the falmon are in full perfection; after this they are obferved to 
decreafe in fize and goodnefs. The falmon is caught in wears, 
and the fifhery itfelf put under certain regulations. The following 
is the method of pickling thefe fifh: they are firfi: fplit, carefully 
waflied, and falted with the beft fait that can be procured; and 
after lying fome little time in the fait, they are packed up in 
oaken cafks and preffed down with weights. The cafk is kept 
open, and brine daily poured in until the fifh is found perfectly 
cured, when the cafk is fattened up. 
From the produce of the fifhery a tenth part is deducted in kind, 
which tenth is equally divided into three parts, one of which goes 
to the king, another is for the ufe of the paftor or minifter of the 
church, and the remaining third is appropriated to keep the 
church in repair. 
To the fifhes of Lapland fhould alfo be reckoned .thofe which 
inhabit the Northern or Frozen Ocean, but we cannot here enter 
into a defcription of them ; much lefs would it fuit our purpott 
to enumerate thofe which are common in other countries.
