Abstract
AN important and detailed account of the biology and economy of the cod in the Newfoundland area has now become available*, based mainly on tagging experiments during 1931–35, both in inshore and in deep waters. The fishing industry in these regions has tended to lag behind those of other countries, not on account of lack of fish but because of the geographical position of Newfoundland, its small population and the absence of international trading facilities. With Norway and Iceland it is one of the three great centres of cod stocks, and it has also many other valuable fish.
