“The decrease in the volume of landings last year,” he said, “was partly due to the effort put into fishing. In 1961, the average days at sea for the 60- foot draggers was 99; in the year before. the average was 119 days. Fishing effort in 1961 was reduced by 16.8 per cent.

“It was a similar case for the 65-foot. draggers, which, in 1961, were at sea 18 per cent less time than in 1960."
