Abstract
SINCE the ill-fated trawler Endeavour, under Dr. Dannevig, was lost at sea in 1914, fisheries exploration has rather languished in Australia. This is scarcely pardonable in a country with 12,000 miles of coastline, a relatively poor fish supply, especially in the inland areas, and a definite need for quantities of fish meal on its stock farms. During the past two years, a vigorous effort has been made to improve matters under the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research working in co-operation with universities (particularly that of Sydney) and State Departments.
