Extract

The Plymouth Laboratory is well situated for the study of the herring, and its commercial fishery, and since the winter of 1924–25, advantage has been taken of the varied facilities for research thus afforded. From time to time reports have been published in the Journal of the Marine Biological Association as a series, entitled: “Herring Investigations at Plymouth” and these have dealt with many seemingly distinct subjects of study, including experiments with larvæ from laboratory-fertilised eggs; studies of growth, migration and structure of young and old fish; and accounts of the commercial operations during the winter drift-fishery at Plymouth. It has now been considered advisable to bring together the several results in one paper, in an endeavour to show their essential bearing upon the problems of the practical fishery.
