Sir John Eoss, in his Arctic explorations, found salmon so abundant that he could buy 100 lbs.' weight from the Esquimaux for a knife, and enormous quantities were consumed by this people, one having been observed by him to dispose of a stone weight at a meal. Few nations have been so highly favoured as Scotland in respect to their salmon fisheries, but unfortunately, for want of proper legislation to protect the spawning fish, the value of the fisheries has greatly diminished; and should there not be greater attention paid to this question, and sufficient protection given to the fish, there is a risk of the extinction of the salmon in some of those rivers where they formerly abounded. In Norway, salmon are also extremely abundant; and in the rivers of the Pacific seaboard of North America, the salmon fisheries are wonderfully productive, the rivers in these countries not having been closely fished till recently. The extension of railways and of rapid steam communication by sea has, by bringing the salmon rivers within reach of markets, caused that fish to become scarce, and, like the deer and other wild game, it would no doubt soon disappear altogether, unless protected by wise legislation. In a work entitled "The Salmon," by Mr. Alexander Eussel, it is stated that the annual value of three Scotch fishery districts, "the Tay, the Spey, and the twin rivers entering the sea at Aberdeen, amounts to nearly 40,000; and from the reports of the Irish Commissioners we learn that in 1862 three Irish railways conveyed 900,000 lbs. of salmon, being equal in weight and treble in value to 15,000 sheep.
