HEAVY HAULS IN BRITAIN LONDON, December 27. No fewer than 8,022,438 cwt of deepsea fish have already been landed this year in England and Wales from British trawlers, according tp official reports. Cod heads the list of catches with 3,038,130 cwt during the first nine months of this year. This is 250,000 cwt more than for the corresponding period last year, and represents 42 per cent, of the total deep-sea catch.

Plaice, the fourth on the list, totals 439,547 cwt, which is only just over 5 per cent, of the total deep-sea catch.
