Characteristic that 1 nave to de
scribe and make illustration of it.
The last, however, is very difficult
since the scales have to be 3een in
different light in order to give a
correct picture; and even the best
picture is hard to trace in its re
production.
The peculiarities that belong to
the northern Norway herring are:
First, the seasonal summer belt of
the scale is very small in compari
son to the first and the third sum
mer belt. This peculiarity is very
common on the herring caught in
Northern Norway and very seldom
for the Western Coast. Often does
it happen that the first three sum
mer belts are smaller than those
that come later on. It is different
in that respect, although I may
prove it to be quite rekular.
In the second place the winter
rings are more sharply defined and
look like thin lines. This is very
characteristic of the northern her
ring. This feature is not closely
characterized, or explained, it must
be seen.
The fishermen in northern Nor
way speak of two kinds of young
herring. They are the so-called
“Fjordstoing”, a fish, which also
the name indicates, that has stayed
in the fiords ever since it came
there as a frye. The other herring
is called “Havsild” (ocean herring
because it is believed they come to
the fiords from the ocean. The her
ring that comes in from the ocean
is fatter and also larger. This her
ring we speak of was a “havsild’
(ocean herring) 27 centimeters
long, but if I am correct, this one
was a “fjordstoing” (one that stays
in the fiord) in his second year. It
is very likely one or several years
in the fiord, with one or more
following years in more spacious
circumstances, that condition the
abnormally small sumfer belts on
the scales.
The sharp winter rings must have
something to do with the temper
ature of the ocean or with other
peculiarities of the sea that change
from north to south. At any rate
it is a fact that the herring in the
northern part of Norway have those
sharply defined rings,likewise this
strange dwarf herring that lives in
the inner waters of the White Sea,
while the herring further south,
have lines less sharply defined. (The
herring from the Atlantic Ocean, in
the vicinity of Ireland have scales
with rings so dim as to be difficult
to be seen.) When a herring with
the marks from Northern Norway
after same years, have developed in
to a “vaarsild” and where “vaar
sildfiske” takes place on the West
ern part of Norway ,the scale will
have the following “earmarks”:
The first three winter rings are
sharp and distinct, while the others
are more dim. On the other hand
the second summer belt is small
The three last summer belts are
small and about the same width.
According to the knowledge I
have of the herring I am not in
doubt as to the history of the scale
The herring came sometime in the
fall of 1917, drifting or swimming
to Northern Norway waters, south
from its spawning place. It lived
there partly in the fjord and pos
sibly along the coast until it be
came about three years old. Some
time in the year 1920 it began to
migrate to a place where the win
ter climate in the sea was different
from that of Northern Norway, and
as a result the winter rings ehange
ed. Here it lived at least two and
possibly three years until it became
able to reproduce itself, and then
in the year of 1922 or 1923, it pr«
its place of spawning.
Where the herring lived since it
left Northern Norway until it be
came “vaarsild” will be discussed
in the next article.

Up
‘Ketchikan is picking up from
the depression suffered during the
recent strike of the trollers,” said
Walter B. King, who returned
from that city with the coirt pa ty
yesterday. “During the strike ev
eryone complained of poor business
and lack of money, but since the
the fishermen have started working
again, it has been more lively. They
are getting good money, and say
that they intend to spend it.”
Editor’s note—Suppose all the
king salmon were caught by ten
traps, what would become of Ketch
ikan. How much better it is that
instead, some 4,500 men are troll
ing and spend.)
