As required by the Statistics (Salmon, Sea-Trout and Eels) Order 1939, to be made by all holders of Fishing Licences and (if so required) by all owners, lessees and occupiers of fisheries.
NOTES.
A.—In columns 3, 4 and 5, the actual market value at the time the fish were caught should be given, or if this is not possible, the average market value of the fish during the part of the season in which the fish were caught should be given. A note may be added giving the calculated cost, per pound weight of fish, of carriage to market.
B.—Holders of Rod Licences should complete columns 1 to 4 inclusive. Their returns will be of much additional interest and value if the catch in each river and lake fished during the year is shown separately.
C.—Holders of Net Licences should give in Column 6 an accurate description of the net used, stating the length, depth and size of mesh (stretched knot to knot), of the different parts of the net, and in the case of a draft net, the length of the hauling ropes used. The number of men required to work the net should be added, and, if possible, the cost price of the net and ropes.
D.—Holders of Licences for engines other than rods or nets, should give in Column 6 a precise description of the engine used.
E.—If possible, returns should be made on a separate form for each engine used. In cases where this is not possible the catches of several engines may be included in one form, but only engines of the same kind should be grouped together. If a form be mislaid, a duplicate one may be obtained on application to the Secretary, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries Branch, 3 Kildare Place, Dublin.
F.—Owners, lessees, or occupiers of fisheries required to make the return should fill up the form to the best of their ability.
G.—The form should be completed and forwarded to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries Branch, 3 Kildare Place, Dublin, in the case of salmon and sea-trout, immediately on the close of the open fishing season in the year 1939, and in the case of eels on the 31st December, 1939.
