Doubtless the critic thought he had to do with a period
_
when the distribution of the haddock in our seas was much
_
more
abundant, and, as the captures by liners and trawlers
.
f
were, he says,
not
separated, there was a certain haziness‘
not _inconvenient for argument.
But
during that period
accurate investigations had been made on most of the im—
