The above table shows approximately that the amount caught in the net 
fixed against the tidal current is double that of the amount caught in that 
fixed to follow the current. That the latter kind of Fiikubc-mni are fewer in 
number, is accounted for by the fact that though much liberty is permitted 
by the authorities, only a few which are profitable in fishing are so fixed, the 
others bringing so little profit that their fixture would not compensate for the 
expenditure. These facts seem to show that in this region the former kind 
of Fiikiibs-ami is more efficient in fishing than the latter in this region. 
This result seems to be caused by the influence of the tidal current, for regard 
to other external influences, such as the temperature, pressure, food and topo- 
graphical features of the sea bottom, both kinds of Fukiibe-anii would seem 
to have equal conditions. In fact, when one observes their movements at
