These experiments seem to show that the dab is not so 
hardy as the plaice, and that when caught with the fish 
trawl the dabs are less lable to live, if returned to the sea, 
than if caught in the shrimp trawl. 
In 16 hauls with the fish trawl, out of 79 fish 20 were dead ; 
in 9 hauls some of the fish died. 
In 6 hauls with the shrimp trawl out of 39 fish 2 only 
were dead; in 1 haul only did some fish die.
