As an enthusiastic angler for all kinds of fish, I should be the last to advocate the introduction of a fish which would Spoil our sport. Nor would I have anything to say for it if it were a fish like the trout, affording sport chie y to the rich but the black bass is essentially a poor man's fish it will take any kind of bait freely, affords superb sport, and thrives best in just those waters which are not suited to trout and salmon, viz., ponds, lakes, and slow, deep streams.

Book excerpt: Amateur Fish Culture by Charles Edward Walker CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY Fish culture of a certain kind dates from very early times, but its scientific development has only come about quite recently. Most people know that in our own country the monks had stew ponds, where they kept fish, principally carp, and also that the Romans kept fish in ponds. In the latter case we hear more often of the eel than of other fish. The breeding of trout and salmon, and the artificial spawning and hatching of ova, are, however, an innovation of our own time. Much has been discovered about the procreation of fish, and in no case have scientists worked so hard and discovered more than in the case of Salmonidæ. Fish culture, particularly trout culture, has become a trade, and a paying one. To any one who has the least idea of the difficulties to be overcome in rearing Salmonidæ, this fact alone proves that fish culture must have progressed to a very advanced stage as a science. This advance has in very many, if not in the majority of cases, been made by the bitter experience gained through failures and mishaps, for these have led fish culturists to try many different means to prevent mischances, or to rectify them if they have happened. Some of the most serious difficulties experienced by the early fish culturists who bred Salmonidæ can now be almost disregarded, for they hardly exist for the modern fish culturist, with the knowledge he possesses of the experience of others. So much of what has been done in fish culture is generally known to those who have studied and practised it, that the beginner can nowadays commence far ahead of the point whence the first fish culturists started. Many of his difficulties have been overcome for him already, and though he will not, of course, meet with the success of the man of experience, still he ought with the exercise of an average amount of intelligence to avoid such failures as would completely disgust him. There are many pieces of water containing nothing but coarse fish which are very suitable for trout of some kind. Ponds, particularly those which have a stream running through them, will, as a rule, support a good head of trout if properly managed. Again a water which contains trout may become more or less depleted, and here it is necessary to supply the deficiency of trout by some means. The easiest way is, of course, to buy yearling or two-year-old fish from a piscicultural establishment, of which there are many in the kingdom, but I know that there are many fishermen who would much prefer to rear their own fish from the ova, than to buy ready-made fish. Any one who has the time and opportunity to rear his own fish will be amply repaid by the amusement and interest gained, and it should be the cheaper method of stocking or re-stocking a water. The same remarks apply to a certain extent to waters which will not support trout, or where the owner wants more coarse fish. The stock of coarse fish may be improved by fish culture just as much as a stock of trout. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fish Culture The discovery of how to artificially fecundate fish ova has been claimed for many different persons, in various ages, and in widely separated countries. In the fifteenth century a monk named Dom Pinchon appears to have practised it, breeding and rearing fishes in wooden boxes through which a stream of water flowed. The bottom of these boxes he lined with sand or gravel, while their ends were protected by wicker basket-work. Stephen Ludwig Jacobi, a wealthy landed proprietor, residing at H obenhausen, a small town in Westphalia, as early as 17 58 appears likewise to have made many experiments respecting the artificial breeding of salmon and trout, adopting much the same plan as Dom Pinchon, except that he secured both the upper surface and ends of his troughs with fine gratings and deposited them in the stream at a suitable depth leaving the eggs to be naturally hatched. He gave an account of his discovery in a letter to Bufi'on, which was deemed so important that the British Government granted him a pension.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sea-Trout: A Study in Natural History IT may, I think, be gathered from the general conversation of one's friends who are anglers, and, indeed, from much that one finds in the literature of angling, that considerably less is definitely known regarding the sea-trout than is popularly known nowadays regarding the salmon. The truth is, that the salmon has, until very recently, practically monopolised the serious attention of investigators of the life-history of Our more sporting fishes. I do not of course mean to say that the sea-trout has hitherto been wholly neglected. Much useful and interesting information regarding it may be found scattered here and there in the pages of books on fish and fishing, but I do not know of any recent work which bears to be primarily a study of the gamest of fishes.

Book excerpt: “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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Board of Illinois State Fish Commissioners, to the Governor of Illinois: October 1, 1894, to September 30, 1896 At Kankakee it is probable that equally favorable conditi exist, and we have no doubt but such arrangements could be made with the trustees Of these institutions as would enable your Board to make successful hatching plants at both places. However, should it be deemed advisable to establish such plants independent Of these institutions, there are various points on the several rivers of the State which Offer such advantages as to make the cost of installing plants small in comparison with the results to be obtained. These plants would be operated but for a few months in the season, and the cost for attendants would amount only to a nominal sum. This work would largely offset the constant drain on the natural resources made by the market fishermen, and it is a matter worthy of careful consideration whether or not propagation can be carried on to an extent sufficient to permit an entire open season for the taking of the coarse fish, with a limitation as to size only. While this work is in progress, the advantages Offered for pond culture could be utilized, and the propagation and distribution of bass. Crappie and kindred varieties carried on to an extent equal to our present work, and all waters given their natural proportion of the game varieties, which, in turn, would thrive all the better for the in crease Of the coarse fish. Much has been said by newspaper critics as to the carp and buffalo driving out or destroying the fine fish. To any one who has made even a superficial study of the life habits Of the fish mentioned this would seem an unadvised statement. To say the least, and an examination Of any of our inland lakes subject to over ow from the river would show the proportion of the two varie ties to be about as we have stated. A pond or lake devoted to black bass alone would show a few large fish only, in a short time, while very many more of all sizes and ages would be the result Of general pond culture in the same water area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The graphic novel is the most exciting literary format to emerge in the past thirty years. Among its more inspired uses has been the superlative adaptation of literary classics. Unlike the comic book abridgments aimed at young readers of an earlier era, today's graphic novel adaptations are created for an adult audience, and capture the subtleties of sophisticated written works. This first ever collection of essays focusing on graphic novel adaptations of various literary classics demonstrates how graphic narrative offers new ways of understanding the classics, including the works of Homer, Poe, Flaubert, Conrad and Kafka, among many others.
