Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Natural History of the Marketable Marine Fishes of the British Islands: Prepared by Order of the Council of the Marine Biological Association Especially for the Use of Those Interested in the Sea-Fishing Industries The work which, as President of the Marine Biological Association, I have the pleasure of introducing to the public with a few lines of preface, has been prepared at the request of the Council of the Association by Mr. J. T. Cunningham. The author has for several years occupied the position of naturalist at the Plymouth laboratory, being especially charged by the Council with the investigation of the structure, habits, and breeding of marine food-fishes. He had previously given a large amount of study to this subject whilst in charge of the marine laboratory at Granton near Edinburgh. Since many of Mr. Cunningham´s important observations on the "growth from the egg" of marine fishes have been published in the strictly scientific journals and transactions of societies, it seemed to be desirable that the results of the recent study of the reproduction of the fishes which form the material of our sea-fisheries, should be brought together in a convenient and popular form. The marked increase of attention to the natural history of these fishes-which is traceable to the great Fisheries Exhibition held in London in 1883, has led to a large increase of knowledge. On various parts of our coasts, naturalists have been busy in the endeavour to arrive at an accurate estimate of the causes which determine the movements and the variations in abundance of the animals which produce the "harvest of the sea."
