Abstract
ONE of the most valuable as well as the most generally interesting of the various publications of the Conseil Permanent International pour l'fix-ploration de la Mer is its Statistical Bulletin,in which are tabulated extensive and detailed statistics relating to the sea fisheries of the maritime countries of northern and western Europe. Even in normal times, such ample and diverse data require much time and labour to assemble and work up. But in the recent years of economic instability and wildly fluctuating currency values the difficulties of such work have very greatly increased. Nevertheless, by the diligence and resourcefulness of the editor and his staff, they have all been heroically met and successfully overcome, and volume 27, presenting the data for the year 1937, has recently been published. In order to facilitate interpretation of the mass of detailed tables, a very comprehensive and extremely lucid summary of the main conclusions to be drawn from them is given—as in previous years.
