In order to be able readily to compare the composition of the muscular 

 tissue of the East Coast herrings in different stages of reproductive 

 activity, it is advisable to give a table which gives the collective results. 



One may shortly summarise the results of these analyses of autumn 

 East Coast herrinps as follows. The analyses in the table refer solely to 

 the flesh (muscles) of female herrings.
