The results of Experiments 10 and 15 of 1906 also 

 confirm the conclusion thai the plaice reared on i he 

 Lancashire shallow water grounds move offshore with 

 increasing age and do not return. The recaptures in 1907 

 from these two experiments are indicated on Plate II 

 by the black spots, and it will be seen that of the plaice 

 liberated in 1906 near Nelson Jhioy only two were 

 recaught on nearly the same grounds in 1907. On the 

 other hand, two of these plaice were recaught in 1907 to 

 the S.E. off Maughold Head ; and six have been recaught 

 off the S.E. coast of Ireland. All the latter are, compared 

 with the plaice recaught off Nelson Buoy (the ground of 

 original capture), large fishes. One fish, the inevitable 

 exception to the others, was found in the lliver Mersey, 

 as far up as Eastham.

 been recaptured ; one near the place of liberation, and two
