William Sharp: --/ I/crring Shoal, 18 'nr'HE Herring f:\mily contributes more generously than any other group of atjuatic animals to the supjjort of man, and the Herring is beyond (juestion the most important of food-fishes. l)istril)uted throughout the whole of the North Atlantic, it affords occupation for immense fleets of fishing boats, and, according to Huxley, the number taken every year out of the North Sea and Atlantic is at least 3,000,000,000 with a weight of at least 1,500,000,000 pounds. According to Dambeck, the average yield in Norway from i860 to 1S70 amounted to 1,452,000,000 pounds. Hoklsworth placed the yield of Scotland in 1873 at 188,000,000 jjounds, their capture requiring 15,095 boats with crews of 45,494 men. In the same period in the English fisheries he states that 15,321 boats were used. France, Ireland and Belgium have also Herring fisheries of considerable extent, and Germany in less degree. In 1874, according to compilations and estimates of Prof. Hind, 200,000,000 pounds of Herring were taken.
