5. Average catch and income per boat 



1. Herring fisliery. Tlic following table gives the necessary information for the 

 different types of boats (bumboats, loggers, motorboats and steamships) that are used for 

 this fishery, for the period 1892—1903. 



Table XLTll. flerrlng-fishtir; 1892—1903, average Income per b»at, In guilders 



NB. 1 Dutch guilder = 1 sh. 8 d. 



NB. The number of herring nets used pro ship may be judged from the following: 

 The Dutch "logger", since it has a steam -winch (and they all have by this time), uses 

 90 to 100 nets, say 95 on an average. 



— "bom" furnished with a "donkey", fishes with 90 to 95 nets, say 92 on an average. 



— "bom" which has no donkey uses 65 to 70 nets, say 68 on an average. 



NB. The number of bumboats with and without donkeys is not exactly known — 

 it changes continually. 



— steam-logger fished with 150 nets, immediately after the introduction of the 



steamships. Most of them by this time have given up to use so large tieets. 



As a rule that number is 125 by this time, though some of them use 150 



nets still. 

 2. Longline fishery. The best figures we dispose of for this fishery are those for Middel- 

 harnis. The ships from this harbour practice the longline fishery in winter for fresh fish 

 and in summer and autumn for salted fish; for the fresh fish, the statistics give the total 

 income; the number of the ships being known for each year, the income pro ship could 

 be calculated. The quantities of the catch, however, are not known: a part of this fish 

 has been sold (1892—94) in Beider, another part (1892—94) in Ymuiden; to begin with 

 1895, nearly all the fresh fish caught by sloops from Middelharnis was sold in Ymuiden; 

 as it was mixed up with the other fish (from 1895 — 99) and with the longline fish from 

 other places (from 1900—03), it is impossible to calculate the catch for a single place.
