Salmo eriox [The Bull or Gray Trout].
Some large individuals of this species are often taken.
Salmo trutta [The Salmon Trout].
These were at one time believed to be the young of the Salmon; and the tacksman gave orders that they should not be taken. Previously, they had been fished for with small-meshed nets, and sold as Trout, under the name of “Finnock.” Time passed and the river beheld another tacksman, who, differing from his predecessor, gave orders that they should be again taken. Accordingly, they are now annually fished for, and are once more sold as “Sea Trout,” “White Trout,” and “Finnock.”
Salmo fario [The Common Trout].
In all our streams. These also are taken, and sold with the last mentioned.
Osmerus eperlanus [The Smelt]. Rare with us.
Clupea harengus [The Herring].
This species abounds along this coast, towards the middle of summer, and the beginning of autumn. The fry of this fish is met with nearly all the year round.
Clupea Leachii [Leach’s Herring].
