Abstract
FOLLOWING upon a preliminary survey of the JT Newfoundland fishing situation and a report on it to the Empire Marketing Board and to the Newfoundland Government, a scheme providing for a five-year period of fishery research in Newfoundland was drawn up. Half the cost of installation and subsequent maintenance of the Laboratory is, by agreement, borne by each of these two bodies. The objects of the scheme are the investigation of the life-histories of the principal commercial fishes with the view of gaining a clearer understanding of their movements and natural fluctuations, and the improvement of some or all of the existing methods of processing and marketing of the fish and fish products. By-products and their possible utilisation also come within the scope of the investigations.
