Madras Fisheries Bureau Bulletin No. 12. Administration Report for the year 1918-19

1921

This section was wholly in my charge for the first eight months of the year ; thereafter the Marine Assistant took over the departmental fisheries and the care of the department's fleet. [...] Intemperance and the consequent squandering of earnings are at the bottom of the trouble ; so far as possible the department endeavours to counteract these evils by means of the departmental coffee !tall, by personal suasion and the organization of temper- ancelectures. [...] This incident, and the unreasonable attitude of the divers in face of the concessions given and help rendered to them in the past in many ways, emphasize how precarious is the present system of exploiting our chank resources, where the success of our work depends upon the whims and fancies of ignorant men, easily misled by any specious talker. [...] In the latter period of the fishery when the number of canoes decreased, the launch Leverett brought from the West Coast for the purpose, took over this work, and enabled us to dispense with the employment of the Eider, so effecting a large economy. [...] 387, Home (Education), dated the 27th March 19191, the Aquarium at Madras was transferred from the charge of the Superintendent of the Museum to that of the Director of Fisheries on 1st April 1919.
