Abstract
THE Fishery Board for Scotland has recently issued two important papers dealing with commercial fishing in the Moray Firth. The first is a review of the cod-net fishing,1 and the second is an account of the Danish seine-net fishery.2 Prepared by so able an authority as Dr. Alexander Bowman, these two papers contain much interesting and valuable practical information. Read together, they demonstrate very clearly the great extent to which the prosecution of both cod-net fishing and Danish seine-netting has been influenced by the prevailing economic conditions of the great Scottish herring fisheries.
