Other coral groundsare found on the coast of Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, Spain, the Balearic® and; Provence. More than 500 Italian barks and over 4,200 persons are engaged in the coral fishery. Besides these French, and Spanish barks are engaged in the same occupation.

Italy, 40 of which are in the little town, Torre del Greco, at the foot of Vesuvius. These shops give employmentto about 9,000 persons, mostly women, and children.
