Abstract
IN Publications de Circonstance of the Conseil Per-1 manent International pour l'Exploration de la Mer, No. 89, Chr. Hessle surveys the herring investigations which have been carried on during the past few years along the Baltic coast of Sweden. Nets, both drifting and anchored, land-seines, and big traps are all used for the fishery, but the main part of the total catch is fished by nets. Although the bulk of the fish is landed between July and November, considerable quantities are taken during the winter and early spring. Ice on the water is a severe hindrance to the net fishery during the colder months, and in some places it may put a stop to fishing when, by all evidence, herrings are still present. In the archipelagos nets are sometimes used actually under the ice.
