1 62 THE FISHERIES OF THE ADRIATIC, 



The value of the produce of the Italian bragozzi in the Ouarnero was 



45,583 florins in 1877; 

 62,652 florins in 1878; 

 82,039 florins in 1879; 



total 190,274 florins for three years, 1 



to be divided amongst 130 bragozzi and 520 men. Expenses deducted 

 (26,000 florins), there remain 109,516 florins as the two-thirds share of the 

 crew, or 210 florins per man. The yield of 182 bragozzi in the Austrian 

 fisheries in the year 1877-8 (see Statistics) was 342,324 florins; 3 deducting 

 expenses (36,400 florins), there remain 203,948 florins as the two-thirds 

 share of a crew of 728 men, or 280 florins. Reviewing the figures given 

 here and elsewhere (see pages 53-57), we may fairly come to the conclusion 

 that the average share of the Italian fishermen in the Austrian-Hungarian 

 fisheries amounts to from 200 to 300 florins per man. The average value 

 of the Italian fishing craft and gear engaged in the Austro- Hungarian 

 fisheries is 400,000 fl. 



In order to arrive at an approximate estimate of the individual share of 

 the native fishermen, we will take the official statistics to hand, viz.: —

1 Taking the official average figures for eight years, this would be only 146,000 fl. 



2 The official average values for five years are as nearly as possible the same figure. 



3 If we take the average yield for five years, this sum would be 1,604,000 fl.
