Abstract
THE passing of the Fishery Board for Scotland, under the Reorganisation of Offices (Scotland) Act, means the removal of a landmark from the field of fishery research. As the Development Commissioners observe in their latest annual report, the Board was the first department of Government in the United Kingdom to possess a permanent scientific organization, and its scientific staff was responsible for many of the earlier classical discoveries in marine research, while in more recent years it has made important contributions to the development of fishery science.
