The Fisheries and Fishery Industries of the United States (Classic Reprint) by G. Brown Goode Pdf
Excerpt from The Fisheries and Fishery Industries of the United States It is now nearly four hundred years Since these grounds were first fished upon by Europeans, and their resources are still unfailing; but the fishing interests have been mainly transferred to the New World, France alone of European countries having continued to send fishing vessels across the Atlantic down to 1880. Since then, however, the Portuguese have begun to exhibit some activity in connection with the cod fishery of the Grand Bank, and in the Spring and sum mer of 1885 bought several New England fishing schooners and fitted out others from home ports. Their voyages proving generally successful, they have added more vessels to their fishing fleet during the latter part of this year, and it is quite possible that, in the course of a few seasons.

The Most Important Fish in the Sea by H. Bruce Franklin Pdf
In this brilliant portrait of the oceans’ unlikely hero, H. Bruce Franklin shows how menhaden have shaped America’s national—and natural—history, and why reckless overfishing now threatens their place in both. Since Native Americans began using menhaden as fertilizer, this amazing fish has greased the wheels of U.S. agriculture and industry. By the mid-1870s, menhaden had replaced whales as a principal source of industrial lubricant, with hundreds of ships and dozens of factories along the eastern seaboard working feverishly to produce fish oil. Since the Civil War, menhaden have provided the largest catch of any American fishery. Today, one company—Omega Protein—has a monopoly on the menhaden “reduction industry.” Every year it sweeps billions of fish from the sea, grinds them up, and turns them into animal feed, fertilizer, and oil used in everything from linoleum to health-food supplements. The massive harvest wouldn’t be such a problem if menhaden were only good for making lipstick and soap. But they are crucial to the diet of bigger fish and they filter the waters of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, playing an essential dual role in marine ecology perhaps unmatched anywhere on the planet. As their numbers have plummeted, fish and birds dependent on them have been decimatedand toxic algae have begun to choke our bays and seas. In Franklin’s vibrant prose, the decline of a once ubiquitous fish becomes an adventure story, an exploration of the U.S. political economy, a groundbreaking history of America’s emerging ecological consciousness, and an inspiring vision of a growing alliance between environmentalists and recreational anglers.

Effects of the Menhaden and Mackerel Fisheries Upon the Fish Supply (Classic Reprint) by William Converse Kendall Pdf
Excerpt from Effects of the Menhaden and Mackerel Fisheries Upon the Fish Supply Whether the schooling habit of the early stage is retained and is the basis of the schools of larger sizes up to adults is impossible to say. That such is the case is indicated by the comparative uniformity in size of individuals of schools of larger fish. Sometimes, however, a school is so large that it could hardly be the original brood or aggregation only, but several, or perhaps many, broods. But such a raft is composed of individuals of comparatively uniform sizes, or of sizes suggesting that the fish are of about the same age.

Excerpt from Long Island Long Island has at last gained the place in public estimation that it was entitled to hold long ago. We look back now half incredulous at the fatuity that led men and women of our eastern cities to make expensive journeys to remote and uncomfortable places, there to spend the summer. But it was always that way. The prophet, you know, is a long time getting honor in his own country, and the wild flower that grows beside our door-step is crushed under foot as we hasten out to do homage to the exotic that has just come into a forced and sickly bloom in the garden. So, Long Island has been biding its time these many years, but it is finally known and understood. People at last appreciate the beauty, the health, the fertility and the variety of Long Island. Variety? quotha. Yes. We used to think it a sandy waste dotted with scrub oaks and mosquitoes, because people who have never been there used to tell us that was the kind of a place it was. Now, as a matter of fact, there is no equal surface of land east of the Mississippi that offers so much variety. Depend upon it, whatever your tastes may be, you will find a way to satisfy them within a few hours ride of Americas center of population. There are beaches and surf on the south side, bluffs and quiet water on the north, forests and lakes in the middle, wild moorland breaking precipitously down into the Atlantic surges at the east; you are reminded of the western prairies about Garden City, and of the idyllic farming country of Connecticut on the north shore. Are your preferences social? The society of the new villages of summer homes and club houses is brilliant, resourceful and hospitable.

“A necessary book for anyone truly interested in what we take from the sea to eat, and how, and why.” —Sam Sifton, The New York Times Book Review Acclaimed author of American Catch and The Omega Princple and life-long fisherman, Paul Greenberg takes us on a journey, examining the four fish that dominate our menus: salmon, sea bass, cod, and tuna. Investigating the forces that get fish to our dinner tables, Greenberg reveals our damaged relationship with the ocean and its inhabitants. Just three decades ago, nearly everything we ate from the sea was wild. Today, rampant overfishing and an unprecedented biotech revolution have brought us to a point where wild and farmed fish occupy equal parts of a complex marketplace. Four Fish offers a way for us to move toward a future in which healthy and sustainable seafood is the rule rather than the exception.
