BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 403 
the United States, and for the capture of which the beam-trawl is more 
specially adapted, are now of comparatively little value in our markets, 
and half a ton of them, would scarcely bring as much as is obtained in 
London for a hundred pounds of soles. 
The following statement of the arrivals of fishing vessels at Boston, 
Mass., in a single day, and the quantity of fresh haddock or cod on 
board of each, shows what enormous captures of these fish are some- 
times made with trawl-lines. When it is understood that these fares 
of fish are often taken in a single day, and that a vessel seldom fishes 
longer than two or three days consecutively, it will be apparent enough 
that like results can not be obtained by using beam-trawls : “ Schooner
