Book Description
Excerpt from British Salt-Water Fishes The study of life in the seas has a practical bearing on British industrial supremacy that cannot perhaps be claimed for any other branch of zoology, for the arts of the stock-breeder and poultry-farmer have long since passed out of the domain of the laboratory into that of technical education. In our sea-fisheries, however, we have a great industry, already marvellously developed during the past fifty years, and capable, with proper care, of yet further growth and improvement in the near future. More and more is the administration of this industry dependent on the researches of the marine laboratory. The causes which lead to fluctuations in the supply by prompting irregular and hitherto immeasurable migrations of important fishes from one coast to another; the meaning of "over-fishing" and the nature of the measures necessary for its control; the difficulty in obtaining bait, - these and other problems it is the business of the marine biologist to solve. This, the fifth volume of the "Woburn Library," makes no pretence to throw any new light on these matters. All that has been attempted is to summarise the habits and appearance, the distribution and the migrations of every fish yet described as "British." Even before it is in the hands of the public there may be new species in the British list, for only while the last sheets were passing through the press our gobies were enriched by the discovery in Cornwall of a species larger than any hitherto admitted as belonging to this country.
