Our last review of the Aberdeen Trawling Statistics dealt with the year 1915, and in it we discussed the steady and uninterrupted growth of the Port of Aberdeen and of its trawling industry up to that year. Let us now deal, briefly, with the events of the last three years: that is to say with the changes which accompanied the out- break of war, and with the manner in which, in this particular market, the daily supplies of fish have since been forthcoming in spite of all manner of danger and difficulty. FOREIGN TRAWLERS AT ABERDEEN. In our 1913 Report, it was stated that “A curious and signifi- cant feature of the Aberdeen market during the last three or four years has been the great increase in number and importance of the German landings at the Port.’ Further, it was shown that the Germans had obtained a practical monopoly of the Iceland and White Sea fishings as far as the Aberdeen market was concerned, and that the Scottish trawl-masters could no longer hold their own on these distant fishing-groyads. It is a good deal easier now than it was in 1913 to understand the situation such as it was, and to discover the motives which led the Germans to» develop their splendid fleet of ocean-going trawlers and to keep it employed under circumstances ‘in which our own people could not work to a profit. This remarkable and unfortunate state of matters continued up to the time of the declaration of war; indeed the German landings continued to increase in number, for between January and the end of July 1914 there. were within 10 per cent. as many of them as during the whole year 1913, as the following Table shows :— TABLE A.

So little, indeed, did other landings figure in the total catch by foreign vessels that we need not make any elaborate subdivision of our foreign statistics: but may illus- trate the whole case sufficiently well by taking the foreign landings as a whole, irrespective of nationality and place of fishing.

We see, then, that from January to September 1914 the foreign trawlers (practically all German) landed just over 30 per cent. of peg | aire Nt Onan : Aberdeen Fishery Statistics. a) the whole quantity of trawled fish in Aberdeen market, though the quantities landed in August and September were trivial ; and that from April to June these foreign trawlers were landing in each month 40 per cent. and upwards of the whole quantity of trawled fish in Aberdeen market. In the comparison of values, the percentage proportion does not stand quite so high, owing to the low price on the average of Iceland fish. But even as it is, we see that the foreign fleet accounted for over 20 per cent. of the whole money-value of trawled fish in Aberdeen from January to September, fully 25 per cent. from March to May, and as much as 30 per cent. in June 1914. Moreover, the catch of the foreign trawlers is not only a large fraction of our total trawled catch, but it is also a very appreciable fraction of the entire produce of our fisheries. Here, taken from the Board’s Report for 1914, we have the figures for the whole country :— TABLE D.

The question of whether it be to our advantage that these large quantities of fish should be landed, and these large sums of money taken away, by foreign fishermen, is not one which we need raise or argue here. But it is at least plain that we had come to depend upon the foreigner for a very considerable part of our supply, and that the sudden stoppage of this large portion was one of the difficulties which the market had to face, all of a sudden, upon the outbreak of war. 6 Fishery Board for Scotland The following Table, which is similar to one given in our last Report, for 1913, completes the comparison we are now drawing between the British and foreign landings at Aberdeen.

Some of these questions, and especially those dealing with the place of fishing, cannot yet be discussed in detail ; but the other matters, directly connected with our food-supply, are open to discussion and are of interest to us all. THE TotTaAL LANDINGS OF TRAWLED FISH AT ABERDEEN. The total quantities of trawled fish landed at Aberdeen reached a maximum in 1913, and amounted in that year to about 2,200,000 ewts. In the year 1914, under the interruptions of the war, the quantity fell to 1,850,000 ewts., in 1915 to 730,000 ecwts., or about one-third, and in 1916 to 569,000 ewts., or about one-fourth, of the quantity landed in 1913.

The diminution shown by the above Table (F) in the years 1914-16 was by no means the same for the several species of fish. It was (as we might naturally suppose) the largest in the case of such fishes as come chiefly from the more distant fishing-grounds; while, on the other hand, the supply was best maintained in the case of those fishes which are furnished in abundance by our inshore waters and adjacent parts of the sea. Thus the supplies of cod, ling, and halibut in 1915 were less than a quarter of those in 1913; and witches had fallen off even more, to a small fraction of their former amount. ‘Turbot and lemon sole, on the other hand, had fallen but little; haddock had fallen about one-half; while dabs were landed in larger quantities than ever before, to the extent, namely, of 4400 cwts., as against 2000 in 1913. For here, and in one or two other cases, there are signs that care was being taken more than ever before of the less or least valuable food-fishes. In 1916, cod had fallen to one-fifth of the quantity landed in 1913, ling to one-sixth, haddock to about two-fifths; witches, though only about one-twelfth of the quantities of 1913, were in much greater quantity than in 1915 ; and dabs continued to increase, being half as much again as in 1915. From the following table (Table G) we see that while the percent- age proportion of cod in the total trawled catch had steadily risen to a maximum of about 40 per cent. in 1913-14, it fell to 27 per cent. in 1915, and to 30 per cent. in 1916. Lemon sole, which had steadily fallen to a minimum of 1:2 in 1913, rose to 28 in 1915, and to 2°7 per cent. in 1916. And, among the “round fishes,” while the percentage proportion of cod, ling, saithe, and whiting all alike tended to diminish, that of haddock rose from 19°6 in 1914 to 36°7 in 1915, and to 38 per cent. in 1916.

ABERDEEN’S SHARE IN THE SCOTTISH FISHERIES. In former years the quantities of fish landed at Aberdeen have steadily increased ; and not only did the quantities landed at Aber- deen increase actually, but they increased in still greater proportion relatively to the quantities landed in the rest of Scotland.

We see, accordingly, from Table H, that whereas Aberdeen furnished in 1913 73 per cent. of all the fish landed in Scotland (herring and other net-caught fish excluded), and while this propor- tion remained almost unchanged in 1914, it had fallen to 59 per cent. in 1915, and to 53 per cent. in 1916. But while this diminution is well marked in, and depends upon, the catch of a considerable number of fishes, including (for instance) cod, haddock, and plaice, it does not appear at all in the case of others, such as turbot, halibut, tusk, and lemon sole: for the simple reason that these latter are caught wholly or well-nigh wholly by trawl, and are not taken under any circumstances by the small or inshore fishermen. As a natural supplement, then, to this last Table, we show (as in former years) a Table (1) comparing, for all Scotland, the catch of trawled fish with the total supply of all kinds landed whether by trawl or line, but excluding the catch by nets; that is to say, we are dealing only with what are often called, nowadays, the “ demersal fishes.” [ TABLE.

Roughly speaking, the percentage of trawl-caught fish to the total catch by line and trawl, which had risen almost year by year to about 77 per cent. in 1913, fell in 1915 to 63 per cent., which had also been its value in 1901, fourteen years before; and again it fell in 1916 to 58 per cent., where it had stood approximately in the year 1900. THE YIELD OF THE PRINCIPAL FISHING-GROUNDS. Let us now consider, briefly, the total catch of our Aberdeen trawlers on the principal fishing-grounds, according to the regions or “Grounds” which we have repeatedly defined in former Reports, and which (with the help of our chart) we may once more summarise as follows :— (1) Northern grounds, including areas VI.—XVI. (2) East Coast grounds, including areas XVII., XXII, KET Oe PE eX (3) Middle grounds, including areas XVIII.-XXI., XXIV., XKV XXX. (4) South-eastern grounds, including areas XXVI., XXVIL., XXXI-XL. (5) Various North Sea grounds, including catches made up from more than one of the above regions. (6) Western grounds, off the north-west and west coasts of Scotland. (7) Faeroe and Iceland. (8) Mixed grounds, to include catches made partly in the North Sea and partly on the western or northern fish- ing-grounds, (9) And lastly, the White Sea, Norwegian Coast (north of 62° N.), and other distant fishing-grounds. Our statistics for these several regions are set forth in Table J in our usual form, month by month; but they are extended on this occasion over four years, 1913-16. The figures for 1913 have been brought down from our last Report, for the sake of comparison, in order to show the data for one complete year before the war. | TABLE, Fishery Board for Scotland. 14 is: Lyg'cag | Gor'se | 6L0‘0E | SIZ‘ | 989'9e | cEc‘6g | 498'6G | 9LF'89 Ler'eG |$16/0¢ | L99‘se | coL‘6T | 9T6r |) SES'TIL | 687'6% | 8G8°Gh | LIL‘09 | I88%e9 | 9TE's9 | FoS‘69 | L1L‘29 ; 0°29 | €10'98 | Les"co | 6ZI'AG | ST6T .

The following are among the many important points brought out, or illustrated, by these two Tables. 1. The total quantities of fish landed by the Aberdeen trawling fleet have diminished as follows during the four years in question :— Total Catch: Cwts. Percentage of 1913. 1913 2,140,000 | 1000 1914 1,798,000 | 840 1915 712,000 Joo 1916 556,000 26°0 That is to say, the quantities landed had dropped in 1915 to one- third, and in 1916 to about a quarter, of those landed in 1913. 2. From one important region, namely, the West Coast of Scot- land, the supply was entirely cut off, after the end of 1914, owing to Admiralty regulations. This region had furnished in 1913 over 150,000 ewts. and in 1914 about 90,000. Aberdeen trawlers also ceased to visit the Irish grounds, the Norwegian coast, and (what was a much more important matter) the Fisher Bank and the neighbourhood of the Danish coast. From these latter areas, and from the “ South-west grounds” in general, 45,000 ewts. of trawled fish had been brought to Aberdeen in 1913. 3. The North Sea yielded throughout the period about 57 per cent., on an average of the total supply ; somewhat less in 1914, and somewhat more in 1915. The actual quantities landed from the North Sea, and their percentage proportions to the whole, and their percentage proportions to the North Sea catch of 1913, were as follows :— North Sea Cais . Percentage Percentage of Catch. ; of 1913. Total Catch. 1913 1,248,000 100-0 58°3 1914 935,000 76°7 52:0 1915 465,000 373 65°53 1916 322,000 25°8 57-9 Total, 2,970,000 57:0 The percentage reductions, then, compared with the catch of 1913, are not very different for the North Sea from those of the fishing as a whole. But when we come in the next place to the Kast Coast Grounds, and take them by themselves, apart from the rest of the North Sea, we find a very different state of matters. 4. Of the areas on our chart which are included, for statistical purposes, under the name of the Kast Coast Grounds, one, viz., Area XVILI., was closed to trawling at an early period of the war, in the same way and for the same reasons as the West Coast generally. Part of the same area and the greater part of Area XXII. are included in the Moray Firth, from which trawlers are excluded by statute. There rematn, then, only the two Areas XXIII. and XXIX.,, and the small coastal Area XXVIII, which lie off our East Coast from Peterhead to Dunbar. We have more than once called attention, in former years, to the remarkable way in which these East Coast areas have retained their Aberdeen Fishery Statisties. uly productiveness in spite of the immense amount of fishing that has all along gone on within them; and this fact is now more conspicuous and more remarkable than ever. Here are the total quantities landed, in 1913-16, from the East Coast Grounds as a whole :— Per Cent. of Per Cent. of East Coast Gwhs Per Cent. total land- total from Catch. vi of 1913. ings from all fishing- North Sea. grounds. 1913 .., 280,000 100-0 22°4 13:1 1914 . 244,000 86:9 26-1 13°6 HT, 201,000 120°3 72° 47:3 1916 . 246,000 87-9 76-4 44-3 We see, accordingly, that the landings from this Hast Coast region were even in 1916 nearly 90 per cent. of the quantities landed from the same region before the war; and that in 1915 the landings were greatly in excess of 1913 and all previous years. Further we see that, from yielding us 13 per cent. of the whole trawl-supply of the Aberdeen market, this region (very much diminished in available area) now yields some 45 per cent. of the whole. And lastly, that this restricted region now gives us more than three-quarters of the whole supply of trawled fish from the North Sea. Here is asupplementary Table (K), showing month by month, from the beginning of 1913, the percentage proportions of the total trawled catch yielded by the East Coast areas. TABLE K.

This, indeed, is a well-known fact, to which we have called attention in former years; and it is due to various causes,—among others to a tendency of the Iceland fishery to fall off at this season, and to a general disposition on the part of the trawl-masters to fish near home in the hot weather. Whatever be the reason, or reasons, then, we see that in August and September even in 1913 the East Coast grounds were yielding more than one-fifth of the whole Aberdeen supply of trawled fish. But by Christmas of 1914 they were yield- ing half of the whole supply; by August and September 1915, three- fifths; and in November and December of the same year three- quarters of the whole. The proportion fluctuated somewhat, but still remained very high, throughout the year 1916. 5. The landings from Iceland showed a very great falling off in 9» = 18 Fishery Board for Scotland. 1915 as also in the latter half of 1914, owing to the absence of the German trawlers; but in 1916 the Scottish trawlers considerably increased their Iceland catch.

In our next Table (M), we show the average catch per voyage (in ewts.) of the whole Aberdeen trawling fleet for the years 1905-1916. This Table is of a kind that we are apt to use, and are often obliged to use, for want of better. It is not nearly so satisfactory as are those Tables in which we show the average catch per hout’s, or per hundred hours’, fishing; and it is if anything less important and less instructive for the period since the war began than it used to be in former years. We must be cautious, in various ways and for various reasons, in comparing its results with those of earlier years; for cir- 19 Aberdeen Fishery Statistics.

The average length of voyage is no longer the same; the amount of fishing from some of the regions is now very small indeed ; and in some cases it is only a small part of the entire “region” that has of late been open to fish- ing. But such as it is, the Table points to a number of not unim- portant facts, and, for instance, to such as the following :— 1. The catch per voyage from the East Coast Grounds has kept remarkably steady. 2. On the Northern Grounds the catch per voyage has tended to increase, and is larger in 1916 than in any previous year. This we shall find (from Table M*) to. be mainly due to a great catch of haddocks, which fish, both large and small, were landed in unusual quantities. 3. The mean catch per voyage, over all, is much reduced in 1915-16, owing in the main to the small number of landings from Iceland. For the Iceland shots are by a long way the largest of all, and in their absence the general average is reduced accordingly. THE CATCH PER VOYAGE OF CERTAIN FISHES. In amplification of the above Table, we show, but only for the Northern and East Coast Grounds, the average catch per voyage of certain particular fish (Table M*). TABLE M*.

On the other hand, the average catch per voyage of cod has fallen much below the quanti- ties of 1910-13, though not yet so low as in the years 1905-09. In all these cases we are evidently dealing with natural fluctuations, and to such natural fluctuations the three fishes in question are subject in a high degree. On the East Coast Grounds, the recent abundance of small haddock (reaching a maximum in 1915),a marked scarcity of cod, and the continued and increasing scarcity of plaice are all conspicuous. THE VOYAGES TO THE SEVERAL FISHING GROUNDS.

But this short Table does not give full effect to the change in values, for the simple reason that the voyages during 1915 and 1916 were on the average very much shorter voyages than in former years, being largely, or almost wholly, confined to the Near or East Coast Grounds. A single voyage brought in little more money (say 10 per cent. more) in 1915 than in 1913, but a definite number of hours’ or days’ fishing brought in a great deal more. Accordingly, we show in our next Table (S) the average earnings of the Aberdeen trawling fleet per 100 hours’ fish- ing: and we do so for all the principal fishing grounds, and over a considerable series of years.

These last Tables of ours bring us to the general question of the price of fish under war conditions, a question which involves a great many interesting points. It is, of course, only of the wholesale prices in Aberdeen Market that we can speak here; the retail prices of the shops are another part of the story. In Table U we show, month by month, the total landings of trawled fish at Aberdeen, their total value, and the average wholesale price per ewt., from 1912 to 1916. A supplementary Table is added (U*), in which the first year of the series, 1912, is taken as a standard, and the quantities, earnings, and prices of the correspond- ing months in later years are expressed in percentages thereof, [ TABLE, Fishery Board for Scotland. 30 a ri oo Nig tomar Dononrl> rm HO 00 O93 NO OD O2 CO 4 HH Te Ci 0 ae HMOADONANAAN 19 + “OT6L 1@ | PIL | LOL | OOT 90&.| 98f | 6IL | O00T sz | 680 | FIT | OOT 86L | GOL | 86 00L SJE | OLE | 26 00L Nl 4 ie 00T 676. | GIL | FLL | OOT Gaz | 86 80L | OOL Ggz_| S91 | IPL | Oot ecg) cor 1 48 001 Gl | Lil OGL | 00T O6l | S&T | 901 | OOT PSL | SIT | 6GI | OOT 9.66 | GIL | LIT | P01 Raee | OuCce aT 206.78 | OLZFE Pla Sle SSL 16l.-| “==> + oung | TE8‘00L | 8z9‘08 | 220°SEL | ZI8‘TSL | 272°L6 799‘98 | 29%‘48 | I¢I‘bee | 6ez‘cese | Feg‘oog | * ° * * “Ae ec9‘G0L | s6c‘cg | ZL9‘ISL | FEZ‘OFL | Zog‘szI Jose‘t9 | ozz‘6z | z90‘908 | 9zZe‘ere | 6rZ‘e9n |° * °° Tedy | $16°G8 | GLI‘G6 | 666‘OFL | 6&P‘FSL | ZPG‘EIL | 7GS‘8E | SES‘TIL | Ge6‘eaz | O20‘81Z | 2PL°486 |° ° °° OTe 066‘TL +] F92‘°89 | SFZ‘SIL | 909‘FOL | ZOF‘6S |GOLTF | 20602 | 9FS‘99T | OST‘FEL | ITL‘9ZE | * * * Aaensqag | 681s | 92202 | see‘roT | 8co‘I6 |FF6‘8S |ggo‘0c 099‘¢9 | Z9e‘eaT | TOg‘ZIT | 069°SFT | *° * * Axenuer | : ee : > Ec a an nee ——| “O16 "CI6I "FI6L *SI6I ‘ZI6L “OI6I “CL6L IOk se Calor ‘GI61 | (Tp ‘A Surmoppoy ‘T “Sy “GaeyO 9s) OTE I-ZI6T Saved 99 SULINp UsepleqY UI pepury YS PeyMery, [[V Jo ‘souryprys ut ‘QolIg esvioay oy) pue {¥F Ur ‘onqeA [eIOT, ey} {'sjM9 Ur ‘papuryT AqyULN?) OT, 0 WIavVe Aberdeen Fishery Statistics. ol The following are most important, or most obvious, lessons brought out by these Tables :— 1. The total quantities of trawled fish landed in 1916 were only 30 per cent. of those of 1912. But, 2. The total value of this reduced catch of 1916 was within 9 per cent. of the whole earnings of 1912. It follows therefore that 3. The average price per cwt. of the trawled fish landed and sold in 1916 was just about three times that obtained in 1912. 4. While the total value of the catch did not, strictly speaking, remain constant from year to year, there was a tendency all the while (so to speak) for it to do so. In short, we have even under these extreme conditions of scarcity and general disturbance of the industry, a tendency towards the remarkable phenomenon to which we have called attention before,* namely, the tendency to maintain a fairly steady level of total value, price and quantity varying inversely, ‘and so more or less completely balancing one another. It is as though there were constantly, month by month and week by week, a certain sum available to be spent on fish, and that that sum tends to be spent, whether the quantity of fish that can be offered in exchange for it be great or small (cf. Fig. 1). 5. From May to September 1916, the gross earnings of the trawling fleet were actually greater than in the corresponding months of 1912, though a much smaller number of vessels were at work, and though the total catch was only some 40 per cent. in quantity of that of the former year. 6. If we compare one with another the monthly prices obtained in 1916, or their percentage ratios to the prices of 1912, we see that both prices and ratios fluctuate pretty regularly, and in the same direction. The price tends (as under ordinary circumstances it always does) to be highest in autumn and winter, and to be lowest in summer: the chief reason for the fall in summer being, in all probability, the competition of the herring fishery. It is hardly to be wondered at if the same cause should tend to lower, at the same season and in even greater proportion, the abnormal prices of trawled fish in these recent years. * Cf. On Fluctuations in the Market Price of Fish, by D’Arcy W. Thompson, Third Report N. S. Fisheries Investigation Committee (Northern Area), p. 291, 1908, Cd. 4350, Though Tables of this kind are somewhat bulky, and have at first sight a complicated look, it seems well worth to print them, not only (as we have just done) for the total catch, but also for a few of the principal fishes. Accordingly I subjoin these (though without the full percentage equivalents) for cod, medium and small haddock, medium plaice, and lemon soles. _ TABLE.

That the average price of cod in 1916 was just about fowr times that of 1912, while we have just seen that for all fish taken together the price was approximately ¢rebled. But, 2. so small was the catch of cod in 1915 and 1916 (say 17 per cent. in the latter year of that of 1912), that the total value thereof was still far below (50 and 69 per cent. respectively) that of 1912. 3. Medium and small haddock both increased in valuesper cwt., more than threefold. And the increase in the case of small haddock (336 per cent. in 1916) was all the more remarkable, inasmuch as the landings of that fish in 1916 were very high, being about 43 per cent. in excess of 1912. 4, The increased price of plaice and of lemons in 1916 was less than in the former cases, viz. 237 and 216 per cent. of 1912 respectively. It would seem that the level of prices actually attained by these fish, 100s. a box and over, could scarcely be increased without checking the demand and “ spoiling the market.” It is also to be noticed that the total supplies landed of these two fishes kept remarkably steady; they were, in fact, fully equal in 1916 to the average of the years 1912-14. For the further study and illustration of these statistics of quantity and price or value, we may deal with our figures in various ways; but a very few such illustrations must suffice meanwhile. For instance, we may simply set forth the monthly average prices, etc., in a continuous curve, as we have already done (Fig. 1) for the total catch and average price of all trawled fish. Or, as in Fig. 2, we may superpose the monthly data for the different years, and see, as in the present case, the fluctuation in price of small haddock during 1912 and 1916, and at the same time the enormous excess of price in the latter over the former year. A similar diagram (Fig. 3) shows tke corresponding fluctuation of price in the case of medium plaice. In both of these cases the more or less regular and normal fluctuation of prices within each year tends somewhat to complicate the case, and to obscure the comparison we are trying to draw; for the one thing of special importance to us meanwhile is to gauge the extent and manner in which prices have risen since the war began, and by reason of causes directly connected with the war. The process of “smoothing,” in groups of three (7c. taking, in the present case, the mean of three months at a time) has become very familiar to us in the course of these reports; and we have used it for the very purpose of showing clearly and smoothly the nature of the annual periodic fluctuation. But we are now concerned no longer with the periodic fluctuation, but rather with the continuous change or changes that have been in progress since the beginning of the war. Accordingly, we may now extend our method, and smooth not in groups of three months, but in groups of twelve: that is to say, we may replace the average price obtained in December 1912 (for instance) by the average price for the whole twelve months of 1912, the average of January 1913 by that of the twelve months February 1912-—January 1913, and so on. Instead of a single annual mean for each year, we shall now have twelve times as many. And the continuous series of values which we shall so 36 Fishery Board for Scotland. obtain will clearly indicate any progressive or cumulative tendency which there may be towards increase or decrease, but will be entirely freed from the periodic annual fluctuations which (as, for instance, in Fig. 1) were apt to complicate the case. The following Table (W) exhibits, after this fashion, the average catch of cod in Areas XXIII. and XXIX. from 1903 onwards: each number, that is to say, signifying the average catch in ewts., per 100 hours’ fishing, during the whole preceding twelvemonth, or (strictly speaking) the mean of the twelve preceding monthly averages.

That the two adjacent East Coast Areas (XXIII. and X XIX.) give very similar and concordant results : that is to say, the fluctuations in abundance, the years of comparative plenty and comparative scarcity of cod, are the same in both cases. This fact is simple and natural enough, for the two areas are close together and geographi- cally similar, and we might reasonably expect their respective phenomena to be closely related. But all the same, the remarkable and continuous agreement of our figures, over the long period of fully fourteen years, is just the sort of thing we want, to give us confidence in our own statistical methods, and to assure us that we are actually obtaining a true picture, at least on certain well-fished areas, of the fluctuations and abundance of the fish. 2. We may note in the next place that the catch of cod on the more northerly of our two areas (X XIII.) is not only normally greater than on the southern one (XXIX.); but it is always greater, when judged by our twelve-monthly averages, over the whole period of fourteen years. Towards the very end of our period, in 1916, the catches from the two areas become very nearly equal—the pre- ponderance of Area XXIII. tending to disappear. I am inclined to think that this recent tendency to agreement simply means that, under the conditions prevailing in 1916, the more distant parts of the areas were not being fished; in other words, that the areas or parts of areas from which our statistics actually came were then unusually near together. 3. As regards the actual changes of fluctuations, we see that there was a distinct maximum in the average catch of cod about 1905, and a minimum about 1910-11; and there was a second, but lower, maximum about 1913. Since that time the catches of cod on these two areas have fallen considerably, especially in Area XXIIL. ; but the catches of 1916 were better than those of the preceding year, THE CATCH OF HADDOCK. One point only in our statistics of haddock seems to deserve particular attention at present—and that is a sudden and very large increase in the catch of extra small, or chat, haddocks, on Areas XXIII. and XXIX., beginning in the August 1914, the very month of the commencement of the war. From the following Tables, and from Fig. 5, it will be seen that the catch of these fish during the latter part of 1914 and 1915 reached five or six, or even eight times its usual average; that in 1916 the landings, though still very large, were notably diminished ; and that by the end of that year they showed signs of a return to normal values. : This is a good example of a sort of case which deserves to be studied and interpreted with all possible caution and circumspection. The magnitude and conspicuousness of the phenomenon, and the precise coincidence of its commencement with that of the war, would not only lead us at first sight to suppose that its cause was connected with the war, but might very well lead us on, in all confidence, to frame hypotheses or speculations regarding the nature of the 38 Fishery Board for Scotland.

It would be easy to suggest, for instance, that these exceptional landings of very small haddocks were due to the increas- ing scarcity and rising price of ether fish, and to go on then to assert that these small haddock, now utilised and become valuable, had been wastefully and even wantonly thrown overboard in former times until a lesson in elementary economy was forced upon us; and, finally, we might be tempted to suspect that the great and rapid diminution of the catches of these small fish in 1916 was a result, at last, of over-fishing, or was at least somehow directly due to the operations of man. But the case looks very different when we look at it from other sides. For we then find, for instance, (1) that the great rise in the catches of extra small haddock took place so precisely at the time of the commencement of the war that there was as yet no appreciable disturbance in the fishing; and it took place with great suddenness, whereas the diminution of fishing operations and the rise in price of the commodity took place slowly and gradually. Moreover (2), when the prices of fish reached their greatest inflatation in 1916, the catch of these small haddocks was already on the wane. And again (3), when we look back over our older statistics, (our statistics of — Aberdeen Fishery Statistics. 39 these extra small haddocks only go back to 1907), we find that once before, namely, in 1910, an equally sudden increase took place in the catch of that fish; it began about the same time of year, namely, in the month of August; it lasted for two years, or nearly so; and it ended almost as suddenly as it began. It was less in magnitude than the influx which began in August 1914; but it was in all other respects quite similar to the latter phenomenon. I come to the conclusion, accordingly, that this great increase in the catch of “chat” haddocks was in the main, if not entirely, a natural phenomenon, that its beginning was not attributable to the war, and that over-fishing was not responsible for its end. When we examine our catches of “small” haddock (ae. fishes about a year or so older than the “extra small” of which we have been speaking), we perceive that they in turn showed signs of increased abundance (though in less degree) in the course of 1915, just about a year after the influx of the younger shoals. An increase in the catch of whiting took place about the same time, and was well-nigh as conspicuous as that of haddock. But so, as | am yet aware, these are the only two fish in which the pheno- menon is apparent or conspicuous. We have some reason to believe that this temporary and ex- ceptional abundance of haddock was widespread in the North Sea. The Dutch statistics show a very large increase on the usual catch of haddock, particularly in the years 1915, 1916, and especially in the case of the “small” (corresponding to our “extra small”) fish.

Note—TYhe figures here given are not identical with the official returns for the Port of Aberdeen, set forth in the Board’s Annual Reports for the years in question. The latter include under the head of Aberdeen only landings by British vessels, but the greater part of the Scottish landings by foreign vessels (pp. 122, 123) also refer to the Port of Aberdeen, and these foreign landings are here included. Secondly, as has been explained in our Fifth Report on North Sea Investigations (1913, p. 207) the method of estimating the weight of certain fish has, since 1909, been altered, in the direction of greater accuracy, in the Official Report; but here, for the sake of uniformity and comparison, the method in use in earlier years is still retained. It must be carefully understood that the weights given in these Tables are based on estimate and not on actual weighings. Strictly speaking, these statistics are based on a unit of measurement, viz. the so-called hundredweight box, -and not upon a unit of weight. The total discrepancy between the two series of tables, after making allowances for the above differences of treatment, is very small, and even insignificant. ishery Board for Scotland. 44 IN CRES PCPA EAT CrTolnanll WH AEE CRU Ecaen CPerie ETAL "ea TTY NT-HHIO ERT] ERR CN ueeinercarea ee raciesireereeen lt cree rerenrer Crecente ea er 6BS"960'T | G9T'S6L'T | TES'OT| 09G'E [BET's |6ST_\G9Z'TS)_STL‘0G 668"F|\603'TS\GO¥ | TE0'S |688'1\90"G [CCP'L |LEs°h) T6L°S SZL's | O8U'L | GOLF | S8'TT | OLE IWLOL ANVap 181 13 Fen picxs eed ita tee Sica aa Sales a a aie ime Se = - | = [°° [euueyp joysig LLT 8 T9T = Peal acraneee es leat 2) aa esd Res eA ete Tee at Mote ia! - f° * purpary yo sey 799 PSB te = ee ge Weta 2 ral eis Peale (ake eiileoe See eS. = 08 =" kee i 7 tt 88g OFT AA B0S'T cos'p fe 5: See See 9 men CB ee ake vaioe thi Tew 10 Sec aee ltd cond eee Oereea g | = | * sSpunorpy werdemson 6sc'96 | LIS'IP = | PLB.
