Extract

1. Samples of herring from the Clyde sea-area were obtained weekly from the time of hatching in March until metamorphosis in June.

2. The rate of growth was regular, about 3 mm. in length per week; the development was similar to that described from elsewhere.

3. The herring which hatched off the south-west of Arran gradually moved northwards into the mouth of Loch Fyne and remained there until metamorphosis.

4. The proportion feeding was usually small. The food consisted mainly of copepods, both young stages and adults. The size of the food organisms eaten depended roughly on the size of the herring
