12 Part III. — Twenty-seventh Annual Report. 



Scientific and Technical Instruction to Fishermen. 



For a number of years past, as mentioned in previous Eeports, 

 representative fishermen selected by the County Councils of various 

 counties have visited the Marine Laboratory and Hatchery for the 

 purpose of receiving some instruction relating to the life-histories 

 and habits of the marine food fishes, such as might be of interest and 

 use to them, and to see the processes of fish-hatching. Advantage 

 was taken of these demonstrations last spring by delegated fishermen 

 from the counties of Elgin, Sutherland, Inverness, Argyll, Berwick, 

 Fife, Kincardine, and Caithness, who attended with regularity and 

 appeared to be much interested in the instruction they received. 



We have the honour to be. 



Your Lordship's most obedient Servants, 



ANGUS SUTHERLAND, Chairman. 



D. CRAWFORD. Deptity-Chairman.
