London, Feb. 20. DRITAIN would toso half her fishing catch if present D territorial limits at sea worn extended out to 12 milos, a trawler chief said here today,
Major-General Sir Farndale Phillips, President of the British Towlers Federation, declared: "If the fishery limits are pushed oui, especially round Iceland and Norway, sixpenny worth of fish at the fish and chips shop will be a thing of the past and cod will bocome damn near as expensive as anoked' salman."
It would be uneconomic for British trawlers to go out fishing, he added.
At present there is a three-mile territorial limit in Britalo. Iceland has a four-mile limit and Soviet Russla a 12-mile limit.
Extension of the three-mile limit would hit the Brush fishing Industry because fish breed close inshore and move into deeper water as they grow,
