The average catch per boat and further points concerning the Swedish fishery, will 

 be more conveniently dealt with, when the Danish and Swedish statistics are taken together. 



3. Plaice fishery of the Kattegat: the Danish and Swedish statistics 



When the evidence, shown in preceding pages concerning the Danish and Swedish 

 plaice fisheries, is summarised, the lowest estimate is obtained of the quantities of plaice 

 taken annually from the Kattegat. As already mentioned, it is not possible to give the 

 quantities taken by English and German steam trawlers, and it has been necessary also, 

 to omit the quantities taken by the Swedish fishermen of Malmöhus. These omissions 

 more than counterbalance the small, inevitable irregularities which arise from imperfect 

 information, and which might tend to make the total quantities less than stated. These 

 irregularities have been pointed out as they arose, and the endeavour has been made to 

 obtain, so far as the statistics allowed, a fair representation of the present condition of 

 the Kattegat plaice fishery relative to what it was in 1890. 



It has been shown from the Danish statistics alone, that the quantities of plaice landed 

 annually by the Danish fishermen cannot be said to have decreased. It has also been 

 shown, that the amount of the Danish plaice fishing, and the amount of capital invested 

 in it, have greatly increased since 1890. These are not signs of a decreasing fishery, 

 and even though the average price of plaice has increased and the fishing is therefore
