Extract

Records are given on the abundance of the pelagic young of teleostean fishes off Plymouth as shown by half-hour oblique hauls with the 2-metre stramin ring-trawl.

In comparison with similar observations made since 1924 the year 1935 has been the poorest yet recorded.

A parallel between the quantity of phosphate in the water at the beginning of the year and the abundance of young fish is further confirmed. In January, 1935, the winter maximum phosphate value was the lowest yet recorded.
