About this book
The Fishing Industry is by William E. Gibbs. The text says fishes grow for three or four, or more, years before they are mature, and that only mature fish as a rule have any considerable commercial value. The text says the trawl net is essentially a large string bag that is drawn open-mouthed along the sea bottom, scooping up wholesale all bottom-living fish, such as cod, haddock, sole and plaice.
The text says certain fishing grounds, such as the Dogger Bank, were almost depopulated of flat fish in the years just previous to the war. The text says each boat carries eight dories, small row-boats about 15 ft. long, and that the crew consists of a captain and cook, and sixteen men, two for each dory. The text says fish oils are also employed in the manufacture of such closely-related, although happily diverse, substances as soap and margarine.
