The Inspector for the British Sea Fisheries Board, in a report, says: — "The fishery officer at Mablethorpe informs me that of tho cod caught on long lines, one in five, and occasionally more, had bad wounds. Some were totally blind, others without an eye, and the larger number were wounded in the body. The Cromer officer told I me that he and the fishermen on the Norfolk coast had noticed many codfish with wounds and scars. The Sheringham officer states thajr the packers have come across many injured cod, some having as many as five wounds. One had lost its tail."
