HERRING FISHERY. 
No. 209. Clupea harengus, L. (Jap. Nishin). 
The herring is economically a very important fish in Japan. 
From the latter part of spring to the beginning summer, it comes 
in large shoals to the adjacent seas and deposits its eggs om 
stony bottoms overgrown by sea-weeds. The most famous fishing 
ground is the west coast of Hokkaido; but the fish is found more 
or less in all parts of our northern seas where there is a cold under- 
current in winter and spring.
