Abstract
THE Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries has I recently issued a report on sea fisheries for the years 191923, the last one (for the period 1915-1918) being published in 1920. This is a great pity, because both reports have been so very interesting. The 1920 report gave an engrossing account of the part played by British fishermen in the War, while the present one (H.M.S.O., 1925, 3s. 6d. net) deals, in a equally agreeable way, with the gradual settling down towards normal conditions of the sea-fishing iadustry. Statistical tables, summarising the catches made and other numerical results of the Ministry's work, have been issued each year, and the report now available discusses, in a general way, the information that has been collected. There is a very good summary of the scientific investigations made during the post-War years, and there are a number of clear financial statements showing the cost of the various kinds of work, administrative, developmental and scientific, undertaken by the Ministry.
