COUNCIL — SEPT. 1910 - APPEND. C — 46 — 



of the connection between the hydrographical conditions and the yield of the fisheries 

 in the Gulf of Finland over a series of years. Prof. Krümmel remarked on this, that he 

 also had noticed some such connection in Kiel Bay between the catch of sprats and the 

 hydrographical and meteorological conditions. The Section agreed to a resolution 

 (No. 3) being drawn up, which was to be laid before the Section later for final 

 approval. Then Docent Knudsen brought before the meeting the proposal of the 

 Danish Commission (see appendices to the agenda), and the proposal was discussed 

 in detail. Prof. Wind desired to make an alteration: instead of a single vessel for 

 several months it would be more advantageous to have as many vessels as possible 

 anchored at the same time in different parts of the North Sea for a period of 

 two weeks — if possible in the beginning of June; each of the participating countries 

 should provide one vessel for this investigation. 



A very detailed discussion followed but definite conclusions were postponed 

 till the next sitting. 



Close of sitting, 12.30 p. m.

The discussion of Prof. Wind's proposal was then continued. The importance 

 of the matter was recognised on all sides and it was decided to form a sub- 

 committee to deliberate upon it further and prepare a definite proposal for sub- 

 mission to the Section at the next sitting. As members of this subcommittee were 

 chosen: Knudsen, KrOmmel, Pettersson, Wind. 

 Close of sitting, 4 p. ra.
