Abstract
In 1957 the Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen conducted a preliminary survey of herring egg and larval distributions over Ballantrae Bank, the main spawning ground of the Clyde spring-spawning herring stock. In 1958 more systematic surveys were begun and, with some breaks due to unavailability of research vessels at the appropriate times, these have been continued up to date.
