The object of these investigations, discussed in full in Part I, is an attempt to correlate the catches of the drift-net herring fishery with the conditions in the plankton at the time of fishing, and if possible to establish useful indications as to suitable and unsuitable waters for fishing. In Parts II and III the zooplankton-herring correlations in the English and Scottish fisheries have been dealt with separately. The phytoplankton material with which this section deals is not so extensive, so that the data from both fisheries will be dealt with together. The pioneer observations of Pearcey (1885) in regard to the herring, of Bullen (1908) inregard to the mackerel, and the fact that fishermen have for long regarded what they call “weedy” or “stinking” water as a bad sign for fishing, have been referred to in Part I, page 148.
