COUNCIL — SEPT. 1910 - APPENDIX A — 22 



Appendix A 



Resolutions 



At the Ninth Annual Meeting of the International Council for the Investiga- 

 tion of the Sea, held at Copenhagen the 22nd — 27th September 1910, the following 

 resolutions were passed (as to Reporterships see also p. 20): 



Hydrographical Resolution No. 1. 



Work 



The international Council declares that, with reference to future hydrographical 

 work in the North Sea, it is desirable that: 



1. the Enghsh investigations should be conducted on the same scale as heretofore 

 but on a line from the Tyne to the Skagerak ; 



2. the Scotch investigations should be continued as heretofore; 



3. the Norwegian investigations should be carried out in such a manner in the 

 North-Eastern part of the North Sea as to link up with the English and Scotch, 

 as outlined above. 



Resolution No. 2. 



The international Council considers it as desirable that a special Cruise through- 

 out the whole area of investigation be carried out in May 1911, like the Cruise in 

 May 1910 (comp. Resolution i in the Procès. Verbaux Vol. XII, p. 28), and that the 

 participating countries should choose the time of their regular Cruises in accordance 

 with this combined investigation. 



Resolution No. 3. 



Inasmuch as a certain relationship has been traced netween the yields of 

 sprats in certain parts of the Baltic (in particular the Gulf of Finland) and the 

 temperature and salinity of the water, the international Council recommends that 

 the delegates of the Baltic States should carry out organised systematic observations 

 of the distribution of the sprat and endeavour to further correlate this distribution on 

 the lines above indicated, due regard being also paid to meteorological conditions and 

 the amount of river water entering these areas.
