Note 15 — Chapter XLVII · NIKOLAEFSK.

The plentiful season commenced on August 25th, and salmon were sold for five roubles per hundred. These were commonly used for salting, but I found that they sold pieces of dried salmon and other fish a foot long, at the rate of 1s. per hundred, as winter food for dogs. Among the less valued fish of the Amur are the dolphin, trout, and others, known by the name of sazan, karass, and a white fish called suig—the last being esteemed in Petersburg a delicacy.
