LOCATION 03? FISHING BANKS. 



The following fishing areas or banks seem to be the most prolific so 

 far as I have investigated and they would well repay working. 



The vicinity of Sitanki is practically all a fishing bank, being well 

 supplied with organic life upon which fishes feed. The trade at this place 

 is now in the hands of the Chinese. There are numerous good fishing 

 banks in the vicinity of Zamboanga, especially off San Eamon and along 

 the Basilan coast ; one a few miles south of Cagayan Sulu and a number 

 along the coast of Palawan. Some vei-y prolific banks exist near the 

 ( 'uyo Islands and close to Masbate and Cebu. The bank which chiefly 

 supplies the ^lanila market is located near Corregidor Island. 



Doubtless numerous other fishing banks can be found; in fact, wher- 

 ever we encounter a comparatively shallow area of from 5 to 20 fathoms, 

 with plenty of sea iiiopc and rich in small marine organism, we may be 

 assured of finding it well stocked with fishes. Sooner or later these 

 places will all be accurately located and worked. What is needed is 

 men of experience who will give the industry their entire attention ; such 

 people will win profitable results.
