THE FISIIES OF THE ZUIDERZEE') 



1) This i)aper is a translation of a Chapter of a Report I subraitted to the Dutch 

 Board of Fisheries in August 1889. The whole report is published iu the Verslag over 

 den Staat der Nederl. Zeevisscherijen over 1889. I think it is desirable to publish a 

 trauslation of that part of my Report which treats of the fishes of the Zuiderzee, as 

 more geueral and international attention bas been paid of late to the question of inima- 

 ture lish and as ruy investigations probably are not quite lacking in interest in regard 

 to that question.
