The International Fisheries Investigations. 



The following is a summary of the work done and of the conclusions 



arrived at by the scientific staff working under the direction of the 



Council. 



Section I.— NORTH SEA WORK. 



A. WOKK OF THE S.S. "HUXLEY." 



Trawling Investigations. — With the exception of a period of two 

 months during the past winter, when the boat was laid up at Grimsby, 

 the survey of the North Sea trawling grounds within the English area 

 has made continuous progress. From June, 1905, to the end of May, 

 1906, the Huxley made nineteen fishing voyages, during which 2-l:0 

 hauls of the large commercial trawls were taken, and the quantities, 

 sizes, and weights of the fishes caught systematically recorded. 



From the commencement of the investigations seventy-five voyages 

 liave been completed, and the results of 89o hauls with the large trawls 

 analysed and recorded. 



Towards the close of 1905 the work accomplished during the previous 

 three years was carefully reviewed, and a programme drawn up for the 

 conduct of the investigations during tlie current year with the object 

 of checking results obtained at corresponding seasons on the more 

 important grounds in previous years, and of filling up gaps in the more 

 complete series of data. Tlie revised programme has been closely 

 adhered to during the past half-year. 



It is believed that the data are already sufficiently numerous and 

 consistent to throw much light on the normal characteristics of the fish
