1. On the Growth of the Salmon

  • Andrew Young (a1)
Extract

Mr Young has here taken up the subject of the salmon's growth where it was necessarily left off by Mr Shaw. So far as the earliest or fresh-water state of the fish is concerned, he entirely agrees with the observer just named. He then states the various opinions which prevail regarding the more or less rapid growth of smolts and grilse, and shews by tabular lists (the result of frequently repeated experiments), that the increase in their dimensions is extraordinary so soon as they descend into the salt water.
