Abstract

Though grilse weighing from 31bs. to 71bs. have during
the last four years been taken in the Derwent, how is it that
no mature salmon, that is, fish weighing from 151bs. to 301bs.,
have been captured? This is a question frequently asked
both here and in the neighbouring colonies, but it will be
necessary before attempting to answer it to refer to what is
known of the early life history of the salmon in Europe and
Tasmania.
