Bay Lightship. On Plate 1 Llieee three Latter 

 recaptures are indicated by large round spots. 1 t li ink 

 that the results of this experiment indicate those that 

 might be expected if it were practicable to mark and 

 liberate a very large number of plaice on the inshore 

 grounds during the early months of the year, that is, that 

 these fishes would remain there until the end of the 

 spring, to be caught by the stake-nets or inshore trawlers, 

 and then, as they began to experience the season's growth, 

 they would gradually move offshore into deeper water, and 

 would not again return into the shallow bays and 

 estuaries. Unfortunately, it is not easy to obtain a 

 sufficiently large number of small plaice by trawling in 

 the estuaries during January and February, and I can 

 only suggest that the fish should be caught by stake-nets, 

 and taken alive into Piel Hatchery to be marked.
