AND THE FISH THEREOF. 



165 



The individual gain of the fishermen employed in the tunny fisheries is 

 very small ; their share varies from 28 to 72 florins per ton of fish, say, an 

 average of 50 florins; 186 men are employed in the various Tonnare 

 on this coast, and their share varies from 20 to 42 florins a season, the 

 average being 30 florins, or from 5 to 6 florins a month, if we take the 

 highest figure, 8 florins a month. During the seven months of the year 

 when the fisheries are at a stand-still, these men have to seek other occu- 

 pations, for the fisheries afford them but a bare existence during the time 

 they are actually employed in them.
