Abstract
THE third Report on the Fishery and Hydrographic Investigations conducted by the Marine Biological Association under the international organisation is the most interesting yet published. It contains statistical papers dealing with the abundance and migrations of edible fishes in the North Sea; the age and growth-rate of plaice from the same region; and the fishing action of trawl nets with respect to the size of mesh. There are also accounts of the distribution of fish-eggs in the North Sea during the summer, and of the physical conditions of the water of the English Channel, and its contained plankton throughout the year 1906.
