These experiments seem to show that the dab is not so 

 hardy as the plaice, and that when caught with the fish 

 trawl the dabs are less liable to live, if returned to the sea, 

 than if caught in the shrimp trawl. 



In 16 hauls with the fish trawl, out of 79 fish 20 were dead ; 

 in 9 hauls some of the fish died. 



In 6 hauls with the shrimp trawl out of 39 fish 2 only 

 were dead ; in 1 haul only did some fish die.
