Expressed in percentage of total yield, the quanti- es landed by the various types of vessels were as follows: 1925 1926 1927 52.6 18.2 22.4 6.8 100.0 Trawlers Lo... 964 46.1 Other deck vessels 17.7 24.1 Motor boats. . . 17.2 20.6 Rowing-boats . oe 3.7 9.2 100.0 100.0 The deck vessels’ share in the total catch has been constantly grow- ng. In the years 1901—1905 the average share of the decked vessels was 36 per cent, that of the boats 64 per cent. In 1927 the order is reversed, the share of the decked vessels being 71 ver cent. that of he boats 29 per cent. of the total yield.
