shown in Table 26. The results of line fishinir near Memel during January
and the beginning of February in weather with light to strong winds had
been fair. When it fell almost calm, the net catches between February 7
and 9 became very good and after a short-lived recession they became even
excellent. Four days later the fleet had moved 30 to 40 nautical miles
farther south into the Danzig Deep. There excellent line catches were made
for a few days with rapidly increasimg westerly wind storms. Unfortunately,
there are-no exact records of positions and echo soundings. It is, however,
certain that in regard to the net catches neither the preceding light winds,
nor the light winds prevailing during the fishing with nets had any con-
[p. 291]
nection with the excellent results. It is therefore probable that the presence
Of food fish played a role here.
