An increase had taken place both in line- and trawl—shing
in the other round shes, Viz., ling, torsk, saithe, and in the

The trawlers
landed 309,862 cwts. of round shes=£178,304, or 48,662

cwts. and £48 more than last year;
the greatest increase, 5,594

were largely caught in distant waters, suchas off the coast of

the returns from British waters.

landed of at shes 71,024 cwts.=£89,781, a decrease of 604

cwts. and £7,243 on last year,this decrease being largely
due
