Thus each fisherman may land a fish every minute or so. It is related that three men once averaged a ten each in a half hour. But the albacore is very erratic in taking tl e hork. or in appearing at all, or when Intiiig well may suddenly stop, so that the catch is uncertain. In an old book on English fisheries (W. Yarrell) I note that on the of France this fish is caught abundantly at a depth of 80 fathoms; that it rises to the surface to pursue flying fishes, but that fishermen take few except at great depths. This is interesting in light of the fact that ours are practically all taken at the surface. Experimental may show that ours may also be taken at a depth, perhaps at times when they can not be taken otherwise. The Oceanic Bonito (Euthynnus pelamis).

This fish is sometimes called skipjack by anglers, but Sarda chilen^is has a better right to that name. Probably this confusion has arisen because both of these fishes have stiijie-;.
