The processes employed are chiefly divisible into the two following - (i) Those cured with monopoly salt, or salt which has paid the Govern ment tax; and (2) those prepared with salt-earth, or spontaneous and untaxed salt. I propose first referring to salt and its cost, for wherever the fisherman or fish-cuter can obtain this condiment at a cheap rate, there marine fisheries flourish where it is dear, his occupation is destroyed, except for the purpose of supplying daily wants, and a small surplus for salting or sun-drying. This will be most easily explained by referring to a few districts in detail. The amount of salted and dried fish exported by sea from Indian ports was as follows (the value is given in computing one rupee at two shillings) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rod in India: Being Hints How to Obtain Sport With Remarks on the Natural History of Fish, and Their Culture In my First Edition I sought the co-operation Of brother anglers. Kindly have they responded, some direct to myself, some through the medium of the Press. Many told me things that I had learnt myself in the interim: such matter is introduced afresh in this edition as my own, as it none the less is; but I thank correspondents all the same. Some told me things I did not know; such matter, wherever it appears, is honestly acknowledged by name or initial, both that the reader may know who is the authority for it, where I am at liberty to quote the full name, and also that he may recognise the advantage of the kindliness. All such communications as have been made direct to myself, and consequently appear for the first time in print, have been printed in the same type as my own matter. Such communications as have come to me through the Press, even though it may be kindly stated in them that they were penned in answer to my invitation, are, as extracts, printed in smaller type; partly to distinguish them from what is quite new, and partly to save my book from becoming unwieldy, not in any way to imply less value. Of these last communications I have had to clip some not a little because they repeated what was to be found elsewhere in the book. I trust I may be forgiven by the writers. I have enlarged the page so as to be able to present better plates, but I have not enlarged the type to suit. If I have sinned against printing rules in this matter it is that I may keep my book from being too bulky to be still an angler's companion.

There is likewise a small spine on the sub-opercle, while it is very peculiar that the ventral spine is strongly serrated internally similar to a siluroid.

The phenomenon of mud banks in the ocean - No cause to apprehend that any decrease in the amount of sea-fish exists - Migratory ones may be temporarily absent even for several consecutive seasons - If no great demand for fish exists, the fishermen take those most easily captured, as the small ones, or the fry These previously were the bait, the larger sorts followed; due to their capture, the latter stay further out to sea - Localities worked by the sea-fishermen - The deep-sea fishermen. Netting which in the deep necessitates a considerable outlay, and how they have to borrow money at exorbitant rates of interest for the same - Deep sea nets z - For sharks, mackerel, &c., used near large towns.

Download or read book Indian Fishing written by Hilary Stewart and published by D & M Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northwest Coast people devised ingenious ways of catching the different species of fish, creating a technology vastly different from that of today’s industrial world. With attention to clarity and detail, Hilary Stewart illustrates their hooks, lines, sinkers, lures, floats, clubs, spears, harpoons, nets, traps, rakes and gaffs, showing how these were made and used in over 450 drawings and 75 photographs. One section demonstrates how the catch was butchered, cooked, rendered and preserved. The spiritual aspects of fishing are described as well — prayers and ceremonies in gratitude and honour to the fish, customs and taboos indicating the people’s respect for this life-giving resource. The fish designs on household and ceremonial objects are depicted — images that tell of fishing’s importance to the whole culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Fishing Stories Game fish, though holding first place with the angler of catholic affections, are not the only quarry to be considered. One, at least, of the coarse fish, to the smaller and more homely members of which Mr. Sheringham does justice with his usual charm, enjoys a reputation second to none in the esteem of those who have sought it in its Himalayan haunts and of this giant barbel, the Indian mahseer, Colonel Bairnsfather gives a most attractive account, coloured with the regret of bygone days so characteristic of retired anglo-indians. He makes no pretence to have killed record mahseer. Indeed, as will be seen, one of the fish caught and photographed by Sir Benjamin Simpson, are superior in size to any of his but he succeeds in demonstrating that mahseer of even moderate weight give splendid sport amid surroundings so attractive as to enhance the pleasure of catching them. Scenery em bodies much of the charm of most inland fishing, and brings balm to many a disappointed sportsman during the course of a blank day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Fish and Fishing One great purpose which many persons have anticipated from the International Fisheries Exhibition is a full investigation into the condition of fisheries in general; the causes which have conduced to their prosperity or deterioration, with the suggestion of rules for their future administration. At present British fish economists are divided into two schools, which may be thus defined : - I. That Government should permit our marine fisheries to be untrammelled by legislative restrictions, everyone should be permitted to help himself to fish as he pleases under the belief that the stock in the sea is inexhaustible. II. That Government regulations in the working of sea fisheries is advisable in order to prevent undue destruction of the spawn and young fish, on the supposition that our inshore fisheries, as well as those of some trawled forms, are being unduly depleted. The following pages on the " Fisheries of India," mainly relate to the condition they were in a few years since as ascertained by personal investigations. Some of the obstacles under which they laboured have been removed, while others, it is hoped, are shortly to be remedied; but the result of the incidence of the salt-tax on marine fisheries, and the want of restrictions on fresh-water ones, are well demonstrated.

This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fish, Fishing and Fisheries of Pennsylvania Compiled for the State Fish Commissioners At that time, the Indians, of what is now Pennsylvania, throughout its whole extent, and indeed, for some distance north, west and south depended almost wholly On the fish supply for food. These people could with much truth be called fish-eaters. Proof of this is found in every ancient Indian village site, where the ashes and charcoal of prime val camp fires have preserved bones of animal food devoured by the red skinned hunters. In every case, no matter whether the village was lo cated beside a large water course or at some distance from it, bones of fishes have been found among the camp fire ashes. Bones of deer, elk and bear, the principal animal food of the Indians, are also discovered in great quantity, but insignificantly so when compared with the number of fish bones found. If further proof be wanting as to the great dependence on fish, it is found in the ancient shell heaps on the sea coast, the accumulations of the Indians who visited the ocean annually from miles inland for mol lusks which they smoked for winter use. Among these shell heaps are discovered numerous fish spears and hooks, together with abundant re mains of fishes. Thus while mollusk gathering was the primary object of the ocean visits, the Indians kept well in mind the value of sea fishes as an article of food. It is by the remains of bones found in the ashes also that the great size of the fish of those days, as compared with those of the present, can be determined. Bones of catfish and suckers of more than double the size of those now caught are frequently found, skeletons of trout, which must have weighed when in the flesh from two to four pounds are quite common, and there are no lack of remains of shad which would have tipped the scales fairly at twelve pounds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Angler's Guide: The Most Complete and Practical Ever Written It must be known also, that there are numbers of Anglers who very seldom catch any fish. The Author could give many rather laughable instances; one only must suffice. He had been, upon one occasion, fishing for roach in the West India Dock, and on leav ing was overtaken by a party who had been fishing there too. They asked him if he had had any sport; he said, Yes, and held up his handkerchief, in which his bag of fish was tied. One of the party just took it from his hand to feel its weight, and holding it up in the air, said to one of his companions.
