Extract

In continuation of the study of the vertical distribution of the pelagic young of Teleostean fishes, already reported on for 1924 and 1925 (1), a further fifteen stations were made with the two-metre stramin net in the daytime between April and September in 1926. The collections were made in a manner exactly similar to that for those of the previous years, hauls of ten minutes' duration being made almost always at six different depths with the net towed horizontally as near as possible at the same speed on each occasion. The Admiralty depth-recording instrument was used at every station, and the results for each haul are given in Figures 6 and 7 on pages 666 and 667, which show the graphic records of the path of the net through the water for each haul. (That for June 25th is not included, an unsatisfactory record being obtained on that day owing to the drum of the recorder not having been fully screwed down, see 4, p. 431.)
