It remains to ascertain how cod-net fishing compares with line-fishing, 

 from the point of view of remunerativeness, and for this purpose the 

 following particulars have been obtained : — (1) The average weekly- 

 earnings of steam liners (at Aberdeen and Mallaig, as being typical of line- 

 fishing districts), during (a) the months February- April inclusive, and 

 (6) throughout the whole year, daring the years 1910-11-12; and (2) the 

 earnings of the small boats engaged in line-fishing in the Moray Firth 

 during the same periods. These figures, in juxtaposition with those for 

 cod- net boats, are shown below.
