Abstract
IT is pretty well understood that the Executive Committee of the London International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883 will have a sum of money in hand when all expenses connected with the Exhibition are paid, amounting to some thousands of pounds. The gentlemen who have organised and carried through this very successful enterprise are to be congratulated on the popularity which has attended the Exhibition and on the amount of interest which they have excited in all classes of the community in matters relating to our national fisheries. Not only this, but the Committee deserves hearty thanks for the valuable series of pamphlets on subjects connected with fisheries which it has printed and circulated far and wide. These pamphlets are for the most part reports of lectures delivered by highly competent specialists at the “Conferences” inaugurated by Prof. Huxley under the presidency of the Prince of Wales, and amongst them are such important essays as that of Prof. Hubrecht on oyster culture, of Dr. Day on the food of fishes, of Prof. Brown Goode on the fishery industries of the United States, and of Mr. Duff on the herring fisheries of Scotland.
