I. On The Destructionof Immature fishin the North Sea
Introductory.—Owing to enforced idleness during the period which would otherwise have been devoted to preparing my reports for publication, I am under the necessity of reserving much of the information collected during the last four months for a future occasion, and of treating only in the briefest possible manner the few subjects selected for present discussion. I have again to express my obligations for much courtesy and assistance received from members of the Grimsby fishing community, and to the Marine Fisheries Society of the same town for cordial co-operation in the work carried on at their laboratory and aquarium at Cleethorpes.
* This number includes all days on which fish were landed from Iccland.
* The fish from Madam Piper's Bay are rather smaller than those from the other grounds.
* Vide infra, p. 139.
* I am told that in these latitudes tusk come into quite shallow water.
* The livers and roes of fish are about the only remnants of the old “stocker-bait,” the perquisite of the inferior members of the crew. It may not be generally known that haddocks were once included in this term. Livers fetch about 10s. and roes about 6s. per cask. The former are not infrequently adulterated with ActMBIloba dianthus!
