1 was straiigoiy impresscd wlien \ve for tlio lirst time, on tlie 7. July, 

 onhoard tlie »Huncli , Ironi Nissum- Bredning und V'euø entered tiiese waters 

 and lislied witli oui' scines; wliile at the former pluces vve could get inauy 

 plaice in évery haul, ])ai'lieularly witli tin' seines witli small meslies, we gof 

 at \'isliy IJriMlning in one liaul only a frog-lisli in tlie seine an<l na /hiftisli 

 dl (ti/. l'",ast of (iudnæs-IIage, on Hl fatlioms. \\e made another liaul <(ls(, 

 iiithoiif (alvlunti uny plaice. At Robusk-Odde in the southeru purt of \'iisun<l 

 we got however in one haul 3 plaiee of respeetively lO-'/i- 10 Vj, und 11',, 

 indies in lengtli; the eaudul tins and dorsul Hns of all tliree were a little 

 danuiged, as if tJiey iiad heen ke])( in a Hshing-sniaek witli well and been 

 hurt while sailing. The lins nnist theii have heen healed again later on, 

 for the Hsh werc <|uite well and comfortable. 



A haul in llie narrows of N'ilsund gave 4 [ilaice of respeetively 9'/j, 10, 

 Itt. and 11 inehcs in length; one of these hud u hole in its Dorsul fin (it was 

 eonse(|uent.ly marked). — ^\'e tried to eatcli small plaiee liere in a seine witli 

 small nieshes. Init one haul gave altogetlier hut oui- pluiee of S- , indies; the 

 tip of its eaudal lin was worn a\\ay. As above mentioued, I never saw 

 the fry pi-o|ierly so ealled in tliis water oi'. on tlie wJiole, in Thisted- 

 Bredning. 



()u the >^. Jum' we made (i hauls at dilt'erent plaees of ThistudBrcdning 

 with a ])Iaice-seine whioh is 40 fathoms long. We used for that 100 fathoms 

 of line on eadi arm. The eateh of plaiee was IS between uy., and ll'y'i 

 indies, and a larger one of M\ indies wliose eaudal lin, liowe\ei', was almost 

 <|uite worn uway Uf the Is plaice 2 were marked with holes in tlieir lins 

 and the tins of many were damaged, as it is generally the ease with lisli that 

 ure kept in tishing-smacks with well or in eaufs. On the 21. May I hud, from 

 y- The Maekerel«. made 2 hauls with a plaiee seine in Thisted-Bredning and eaught 

 11 plaice between 7' ^, indies uud 10 indies. H of theni were marked with holes 

 in theii" fins and several had suffered damages of the above mentioned descriptiou. 



I could suy tlien with certainty that llie stoek of jilaiee in Thisted- 



I spoak hero onlv of tlie inirp wliicli tlie fistiermeii olitain.
