Abstract
IT is a striking fact, to which attention has before now been drawn, that whilst the agriculturist, on whom we depend for a large part of our food supplies, has very largely availed himself of scientific knowledge in the treatment of crops and herds, the fisheries of our coasts, which provide an almost equally large amount of food to the people, have never been carried on with any regard to an accurate knowledge of the fishes on which they depend.
