Quantity of Fish captured in One Haul of the Net (unless 

 otherwise stated) on various parts of the coast of New South 



Wales. 



SNAPPER (Schnapper).* 



*As is well known, this species, being a line fish, is not usually captured in the 

 hauling-net ; and this was a most exceptional occurrence. At the same time, it is 

 probable that large catches will be made in the future with the trawl-net while the fish 

 is on sandy ground. Great numbers of large Snapper are taken by line by fishing parties 

 out in tugs. Here is a typical record made by the Fisheries Inspector at Wallis Lake, 

 loth April, 1909 : " A party of eleven caught 450 Snapper on the 8th instant." 



t Each basket holds from 75 lb. to 80 lb. of fish.
