For the salted fish caught by Middelharnis ' sloops, we know the total income as wel 

 as the total catch for each year: so both could be calculated for each ship that in any 

 year took part in this fishery. The following table contains the figures for Middelharnis 

 for the period 1891/92—1902/03; they could not be given for calender-years, as the so- 

 called winter fishery covers the months from November or December till April and the 

 summer fishery those from May till October:
