Excerpt from Report for 1921 on the Lancashire Sea-Fisheries Laboratory: At the University of Liverpool, and the Sea-Fish Hatchery at Piel These data are also being summarized and discussed, and it is hoped that the results may be ready in another year. It cannot be doubted that full consideration of the observations so far made will indicate new and fruitful lines of investigation, and it is probably inadvisable to continue working by purely routine methods without some interval of close criticism. The Plaice Report. This consists of: - (1) A summary, brought up to date, of the measurements of Irish Sea plaice, made on the various fishing grounds, during the years 1908-1920, by the Officers of the Committee. (2) A complete summary of all the results of the plaice-marking experiments made during the years 1906-1913. (3) A summary of the results of observations made on board fishing vessels during the years 1919-1920. This work was arranged by the Oceanography Department as part of the scheme of "Directed Research in the Irish Sea." (4) A general discussion of all the results obtained made from the practical administrative point of view. The attitude taken up in the course of this work was that of the need for restrictions on seasons and methods of fishing should it appear that there is a progressive impoverishment of the Irish Sea plaice fisheries. The conclusions made from the work already done may be stated briefly (and rather dogmatically in the meantime): - (1) Impoverishment of the Irish Sea Fishing Grounds. Nothing in the results obtained suggests that there has been such an impoverishment. There are ups and downs.
