Scientific Work of the Fishery Board for Scotland

Abstract

AMONGST the points of scientific interest in the ¦'*o report for 1923 of the Fishery Board for Scotland are the facts pertaining to the continued abundance of all kinds of fishes, swarms of small haddocks especially being noted. Thus the total capture was little short of that in 1919, though exceeded by that in 1920 when the rush of boats was at its height. Herrings show no sign of diminution even under the unfavourable conditions of capture, the returns much exceeding those of the previous year, and almost reaching those of 1913.
