An examination of the Danish and Grerman records of marked fish shows tliat on tlie 

 Eastern Grounds the greater intensity of fishing in the inshore waters is attributable to the 

 great fleets of sailing vessels (Danish seine-cutters, and German sailing trawlers) whicli fisli 

 off the Danish and German coasts. Out of 302 plaice recaptured from the Danisli experiments 

 nos. 2, 3 and 5 (south and north of the Horn Eeef) between April, 1903 and April, 1904 

 inclusive, 233 were taken by Danish cutters, and only 69 by steam trawlers (54 Englisli, 14 

 German, and 1 Belgian), i. e., 77 per cent, by Danish cutters and 23 per cent, by steam 

 trawlers. Again, out of 108 plaice recaptured from the German experiments nos. 14 and 15
