These Whiting, mostly from 4 to 8 inches in length, like 
the Cod, in this district live largely upon the commoner 
Crustacea, e.g., Crangon vulgaris and Mysis and Amphi- 
poda, and in a good many cases remains of fish, chiefly 
the Sprat, and some worms, have been found in the 
stomach. All these food matters bemg common and 
widely distributed, locality apparently makes no noticeable 
difference in the diet.

The diet of the Haddock seems very varied, but no 
conclusions can be drawn from such a small number.
