Book excerpt: Quests for cod, herring and other sea fish had profound impacts on medieval Europe. This interdisciplinary book combines history, archaeology and zooarchaeology to discover the chronology, causes and consequences of these fisheries. It crosscuts traditional temporal and geographical boundaries, ranging from the Migration Period through the Middle Ages into early modern times, and from Iceland to Estonia, Arctic Norway to Belgium. It addresses evidence for human impacts on aquatic ecosystems in some instances and for a negligible medieval footprint on superabundant marine species in others (in contrast with industrial fisheries of the 19th-21st centuries). The book explores both incremental and punctuated changes in marine fishing, providing a unique perspective on the rhythm of Europe's environmental, demographic, political and social history. The 20 chapters - by experts in their respective fields - cover a range of regions and methodological approaches, but come together to tell a coherent story of long-term change. Regional differences are clear, yet communities of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic, North and Irish Seas also followed trajectories with many resonances. Ultimately they were linked by a pan-European trade network that turned preserved fish into wine, grain and cloth. At the close of the Middle Ages this nascent global network crossed the Atlantic, but its earlier implications were no less pivotal for those who harvested the sea or profited from its abundance.
Download or read book Cod written by Mark Kurlansky and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-03-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wars have been fought over it, revolutions have been spurred by it, national diets have been based on it, economies have depended on it, and the settlement of North America was driven by it. Cod, it turns out, is the reason Europeans set sail across the Atlantic, and it is the only reason they could. What did the Vikings eat in icy Greenland and on the five expeditions to America recorded in the Icelandic sagas? Cod -- frozen and dried in the frosty air, then broken into pieces and eaten like hardtack. What was the staple of the medieval diet? Cod again, sold salted by the Basques, an enigmatic people with a mysterious, unlimited supply of cod. Cod is a charming tour of history with all its economic forces laid bare and a fish story embellished with great gastronomic detail. It is also a tragic tale of environmental failure, of depleted fishing stocks where once the cod's numbers were legendary. In this deceptively whimsical biography of a fish, Mark Kurlansky brings a thousand years of human civilization into captivating focus.

Download or read book Norwegian Spring spawning Herring Northeast Arctic Cod written by Odd Nakken and published by Tapir Academic Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norwegian spring-spawning herring and Northeast Arctic cod are two of the largest and commercially most important fish stocks in the North Atlantic. Both these stocks have their spawning fields along the Norwegian coast and they have been the major target species for Norwegian fisheries for a millennium. They are also among the few fish stocks in the world which have been systematically investigated and monitored for more than a century. The scientific results, arrived at early in the 20th century for these two stocks, formed the basis for much of the development in international fisheries science later on. This book describes how fisheries, fisheries science, and management for Norwegian spring-spawning herring and Northeast Arctic cod developed during the 20th century. Over time, both populations developed serious decline in stock size and yield due to overfishing. The herring stock was in a state of collapse for about 20 years. Management measures that were then introduced permitted both stocks to recover in the 1990s. The contributors to the book have all been working as fisheries scientists at the Institute of Marine Research in Bergen.

This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Manual: Directions for Curing Herring, Cod, and Salmon Barrels or Kits - Ai the smaller fishing-ports the price of fresh herring is usually too high to permit the smaller dealer to cure profitably, but chances of cheap fish are sure to comb to him who waits. It is wise, therefore, to keep a few good barrels in stock - whole barrels, half-barrels, or kits. Acco'rd ing to trade requirements - as well as sufficient salt for the purpose. So as to be ready to take advantage of the chance when it comes. If the operator is a novice to the trade and has no skilled workers available, he had better be content with one, or at most two, barrels'at first or, even better, he might commence by curing small balances left over from the counter trade, provided the fish have not been kept until they have become soft or stale. In the latter case. However. He should select a barrel or kit which the herrings on hand are likely to fill; remnants packed into the same barrel on successive days do not make a good cure.

Some of them have a kind of beard at the lower jaw, others not. Of the common Cod-fish. Cod-fish comes originally from the North, and spreads itself into a great part of the ocean. When the weather is very cold, they retire into deep bottoms, but, as soon as it becomes milder, they appear on the banks near the coasts, and in gulfs. They come, however, sooner or later to certain places, according as there are banks, or shoals of such fish, as they feed upon. Fishing for Cod-fish on the coasts of France. Although cod-fish is not very common on the French coasts, yet some of them are taken there either in wiers, or with lines and hooks, or in nets, laid out for taking other sorts of fish.

Download or read book Herring written by Kathy Hunt and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though tiny, the herring has played an enormous role in history. Battles have been waged over it. International economic alliances have formed over it. Major cities owe their prosperity to it. Political powers have risen and fallen with herring’s own rise and fall in population. How can this all be attributed to this unassuming little animal? In Herring: A Global History, Kathy Hunt looks at the environmental, historical, political, and culinary background of this prolific and easily caught fish. Over the centuries, herring have sustained populations in times of war and hardship, and the fish’s rich flavor, delicate texture, and nutritious meat have made it a culinary favorite. Its ease of preparation—just grill, broil, fry, pickle, salt, or smoke and serve—have won it further acclaim. Engaging and informative, the book features fifteen mouth-watering recipes. It will appeal to food lovers, history buffs, and anyone who has ever enjoyed a British kipper, German Bismarck, Dutch matjes, or Jewish chopped-herring.
