Notes on the Table showing quantities of plaice 



Denmark: The Danish statistics give the quantities of plaice partly in pounds, 

 partly in numbers. As the values for each are given, it has been possible to change the 

 numbers into pounds and thence to kilograms (Part I, p. 24). 



The quantities of plaice represented are not the total quantities taken by the Danish 

 fishermen from the North Sea. A considerable portion is landed at the Kattegat ports 

 by the cutters fishing in the Skager Rak and North Sea, and a further portion is landed 

 direct at Hamburg. For the years 1902 and 1903, these together must have amounted 

 to a further 2,000,000 kilograms, but in earlier years the quantities were somewhat less 

 (Part I, p. 26). Since 1896, the Danish plaice fishing in the North Sea has been practi- 

 cally confined to the south of Horns Reef. 



Germany: The quantities for the earlier years have been partly estimated (Part I, p. 46). 



The quantities given, only include the plaice landed directly and sold at the four 

 chief ports, Hamburg, Altona, Geestemünde and Bremerhaven. Fish landed and consumed 

 at the smaller villages on the coast, e. g. from the fishery on the East Frisian coast, is not
