Description

The Open Sea: Its Natural History, Part II, Fish and Fisheries is a comprehensive exploration of the aquatic world within British waters. Serving as a companion volume to "The Open Sea: Its Natural History. The World of Plankton," this book provides a deep dive into the fishing industry of its time and the challenges it faced. With an eye on ecological concerns, it dedicates a chapter to the pressing issue of over-fishing.

The text covers a broad range of topics, from the herring fisheries to the intriguing world of marine reptiles and the captivating realm of whales, walruses, and 'wild' men. Featuring insightful content and compelling photographs, this book is an invaluable resource for those interested in the natural history of the open sea.
