Abstract
AFTER the War, extended herring investigations were commenced at Cullercoats, and since 1919 there has been a continued series of observations as to the size, age, sexual development, and growth of the fish from some of the most important shoals in British waters. It is possible to point to three well-defined changes in the shoals and the evidence from growth data indicates that these have been brought about by migration. There is a possibility that these migrations have been due to hydrographic conditions.
