Experiment 3 gives no useful results. It will be 

 noticed (see Chart II., circles with a horizontal line) that 

 two of the flounders originally caught in Manx offshore 

 waters were recaptured in the Duddon and in Morecambe 

 Bay. The plaice recaptured were all found in offshore 

 waters. Two of these latter fishes could not be traced 

 with certainty.
