Abstract
The 1971/72 winter herring fishery off the south coast began in the week ending 30 October, 1971, and ended on the 23 February, 1972. The total landing of 79,792 crans was over 30,000 crans (-28%) less than the total landed in the record previous season of the 1970/71. Most of the landings were auctioned at either Dunmore East or Cobh, although small quantities on occasion were landed at Kilmore Quay, Ballycotton and Kinsale. Eighty-three boats - three more than in 1970/71 season - took part in the fishery at various times throughout the season and landings were made on 77 days out of possible 103.
