large school of mizun ( urumeiwashi ) / Harengula ovalis? / (7„2 inches 

 long), but no akamuro <, It appears that the akamuro come into the vicinity

 during the day» On the 27th at the same location we took about 300 

 mizun ( urumeiwashi ) (7„2 inches long) with the stick=held dipneto On the 

 23th we continued operations at the same place and again attracted a 

 large school of mizun Since the akamuro came in at dawn we tried to 

 find out whether the light would attract them by conducting a trial from 

 3;00 to 6s00 a.m. on the 29th but only a few of them (l„3 inch long) 

 came in„ Just as they did at night, the mizun assembled in a large 

 school and the akamuro dispersed <> As indicated, the appearance of the 

 akamuro this year took place during L, days beginning November 25 . Since 

 the fish dispersed to the offshore waters during the day, the fishermen 

 all went out at dawn and took them in bag-r.ets and held them in live-bait 

 pounds, but the amount taken was only enough for four or five trips and 

 that was the end of the akamuro for this year
