APPENDIX J: FRANCE 



The French mackfirol fishery is partly open sea-fishery, partly coast-fishery. The same 

 boats, which are used for the herring fishery from June — December, fish for mackerel in 

 March and April. This fishery, however, is not exercised in the North Sea, but in the 

 sea to the south of Wales and to the south and west of Ireland. As coast-fishery, the 

 catch of mackerel in France is practised, moreover, along the Channel and Atlantic coast 

 as well as on that of the Mediteranean. To the North Sea fisheries, neither the mackerel 

 nor the coast-fishery of France can be reckoned: they are passed over in silence here. 



The following table combines the quantities and the value of the two branches of 

 French sea-fisheries which are exercised in the North Sea. In this Table, the Cod taken at 

 or near Iceland is included in the amount for the North Sea:
