Abstract
MR. F. S. RUSSELL1 is certainly correct in assuming that the occurrence of tunny (Thunnus thynnus L.) in the North Sea is not of recent date. The Fisheries staff, during their investigation of herring trawling in 1912 and 1913, frequently observed this magnificent fish in September and October in an area between the Dogger Bank and the coast, and made several (unsuccessful) attempts to capture it. The records made at this time are being extracted from our log-books and will be available shortly.
