Gippsland Lakes fishery, 1911-1937. Men and boats employed and quantities 
of all fishes marketed annually. 
Fishes Marketed. 
There are twelve species of fishes of greater or less com- 
mercial importance to the fishery. These are here set down 
in three groups, each of which is briefly discussed in relation 
to the quantities of each species marketed from 1911 to 1937 
inclusive as shown on the graphs. A few other species are 
obtained, notably Sand (Poddy) Mullet (Myxus elongatus 
Gunth.), Sharks (? Mustelus sp.), Leather jackets (? Can- 
therines sp.), and Kingfish (Seriola grandis Cast.), but the 
supply of these in general is erratic and the quantities such 
as to be relatively unimportant. 
Names of fishes are according to A. R. McCulloch, Check- 
list of Fishes recorded from Australia, Memoir V, 1929-30, 
Australian Museum, Sydney. ’
