The returns and remarks in trade journals with 

 reference to Billingsgate are reflected in the statements 

 made in the Annual Reports of the Inspectors of 

 Fisheries for England and Wales. Thus one finds that 

 practically the only ports where whelk-fishing is carried 

 on are situated between Grimsby and Southampton. 

 r lli is probably means that the fishery is governed by the 

 presence of a large market for the mollusc in the south- 

 eastern area of England.
