Ho THE FISHERIES OF THE ADRIATIC, 



This is the mode of partition in vogue off the islands of Lissa, Lesina, 

 Brazza, and Curzola, where the principal sardine fisheries are carried on. 



At Trieste, Cattaro, Giuppana, Calamotta, and Sebenico, the padrone 

 generally receives half, the other half being equally divided amongst the 

 crew. 



At Pola one-sixth falls to the share of the owner of the craft, one-sixth to 

 the owner of the seine, one-sixth to the master (direttore), and one-half is 

 equally divided amongst the crew. 



At Spalato the padrone is in the habit of receiving seven shares; the crew 

 of three men each two shares ; the boat which carries the fresh fish to market 

 two shares, and the master (direttore) two shares ; together, seventeen shares. 

 The direttore likewise receives a weekly pay of fifty soldi (ten pence). 



At Gravosa two-thirds fall to the share of the owners of craft and gear, 

 and one-third to the crew. 



At Curzola five shares go to the owner of the net, one share to the boat, 

 and one share to each man of the crew, including the master (direttore). 



At Zara and along the Hungarian-Croatian littoral the crew, as a rule, is 

 paid fixed daily wages and finds its own victuals : the wages vary from one 

 shilling to two shillings and sixpence a day according to the season. 



In the case of the drift-net fisheries (voigari), carried on chiefly off the 

 coast of I stria, the accounts are made up at the end of the season, the value 

 of the fish being calculated at export prices current at the time. After 

 deducting the cost of victuals supplied to the crew by the padrone and the 

 cost of salt and barrels for curing purposes, the balance is divided into 

 sixteen shares, of which the padrone receives three, the master (dij^ettore) 

 three, and each of the five men two shares.
