Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Fresh Water Fishes It only remains for me to express my thanks to those gentlemen who have rendered me assistance in procuring specimens, or otherwise helping me. I must especially thank Dr. A. Gunther, of the British Museum - the highest living ichthyological authority* - for permission to make use of the Plates in T lze Proceedings of me Zoological Socz'efy of London, (1862, 1863, illustrating his papers on the British species of Charr; I have also to thank the Council of that Society for granting me the same permission. I have been fortunate enough to see and handle all the British Charrs, and specimens of all the species have been before the artist engaged in this work, but the Plates above named were found most useful in giving the characteristic colouration which specimens some days out of the water, or specimens preserved in spirits, almost invariably lose. I have also, through the kindness of Dr. Gunther, had opportunities of examining specimens of various fish in the British Museum; and the artist has been able to take figures of some species which are either rare, or which I failed to procure for myself.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Marine and Fresh Water Fishes of the British Islands: Including an Enumeration of Every Species This handbook has at the same time been compiled with the view of providing a complete reference catalogue or index to the fine series of spirit-preserved British marine and freshwater fishes collected by Dr. Francis Day, which after exhibition in their present position in the East Quadrant will be given to the nation, and placed perma hently on view in the Buckland Fish Museum. This museum, it is hopefully anticipated, will on the close of the Exhibition be enriched by many kindred acquisitions. As will be observed, the numbers quoted in these pages in con secutive order after the popular and technical titles of each fish, coincide with the same numbers inscribed on the labels attached to the j ars which contain the above-named fish collection, while an extended special description of the individual specimens thus exhibited is frequently given in the text. In like manner, by way of exemplifying certain rare forms, not in the Day Collection, and the larger sizes to which our indigenous fishes not unfrequently attain, reference is constantly made to the magnificent series of coloured plaster casts prepared by the late Mr. F rank Buckland, and to the many preserved specimens contained in the Buckland Museum, now thrown open to the public in conjunction with the Exhibition Courts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of British of Fishes, Vol. 1 of 2 The geographical situation of the British Islands renders a knowledge of the productions of the numerous and valuable fisheries by which they are surrounded a subject worthy of inquiry to every one interested in the welfare of his country. The large and constant supply of excellent food obtained from the seas all round the coast by moderate labour and expense, and the employment afforded to a numerous and valuable class of men, who become not only good seamen, but able pilots, since the successful exercise of their occupation depends on an intimate knowledge of the nature of the ground surface, the situation of banks and channels, with the particular direction and force of tides and currents, render the British fisheries also, in many points of view, a branch of political economy of great national importance. It has long, however, been matter of general regret that the subjects of this particular branch of natural history, so valuable as articles of food and commerce, and so interesting from their organization, and the peculiarities and beauty of their varied forms and colours, should, with the exception of those inhabiting the fresh water, and the marine species most in request for the table, be almost wholly unknown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of British Fishes, Vol. 2 of 2 The history of the Salmon, and of the species of the genus Salmo, in this work, will extend to a considerable length; and some doubts existing as to the extent of their identity with the species of the Salmonid generally which are taken in the rivers or lakes of other countries of Europe, from the want of specimens with which to make actual comparative examination, the account of the species here inserted will be confined more particularly to a detail of what is known of them in this country only. Of the species existing in this country, the characters and specific distinctions admit of considerable detail: too much reliance has been placed upon colour, without resorting sufficiently to those external indications, founded on organic structure, which may with greater certainty be depended upon. In the scale of the relative value of parts affording characters for distinction, the organs of digestion, respiration, and motion are admitted by systematic authors to hold high rank; and in the hope to induce sportsmen to become zoologists - so far at least as to enable them to determine the various species they may meet with by a reference to those external characters which are the most important, - the specific distinctions in the genus Salmo will be illustrated by referring to the number and situation of the teeth, the form of the different parts of the gill-covers, and the size, form, and relative situation of the fins. The outlines here introduced represent a front view of the mouth, and a side view of the head, of a common Trout.
