c. Fishing-grounds at present time 



1) Herring- fishe ry. The Dutch herring-fishery in the North Sea is exercised from 

 the 61° Lat. N. to the 52° Lat. N. In the months June— September, the main fishery takes 

 place in the western part of that region: between the Shetland- and Orkney-islands and 

 the east coast of Scotland and North England and 1° Long. E. From the second half of 

 September till the end of the trade (November), the herring-fleet is fishing south of the 

 56° Lat. N. and more in the central part of the North Sea : Dogger Bank, Great Silver Deep, 

 Brown Bank Grounds, Middle Grounds etc. In some years, towards the end of the trade, 

 the herring-swarms are followed by some of the Dutch vessels as far south as the English 

 Channel; in other years, especially when sufficient catches can be done north of the 52° 

 Lat. N., the Channel fishery is of no importance. Special cases (herrings caught off the 

 West Coast of Scotland etc.) for this summary are of no consequence. 



2) Longline- fishery. As we saw, this branch of the Dutch North Sea fisheries is 

 partly winter and partly summer fishery. In the winter fishery, a part of the herring-fleet 

 takes part; the summer-fishery is practised by the sloops etc. of Middelharnis , Pernis 

 etc. only. 



The favourite grounds for the winter longline-fishery are to the south of the Dogger 

 Bank (in November and January) and on that bank (in December and January). The so-
