244 ; 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 firft fplit, carefully
wafhed, and falted with the beft falt that can be procured; and
after lying fome little time in the falt, 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 faftened 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 purpofe
to enumerate thofe which are common in other countries.
