Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine

"Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine" by Walter H. Rich is a scientific work that studies the Gulf of Maine's important fishing locations and commercial fisheries. It looks at the area's geography and history to understand the fishing industry. With detailed research and things the author saw for themselves, the publication explains the different types of fish found there, the fishing businesses, and how they affect the economy of the area. At the start, the writing shares the Gulf of Maine's geographical and historical importance as a major spot for catching fish, describing the chain of fishing banks used by fishermen from different countries for many years, showing how many fish come from these waters each year. The text presents fishing spots like the Inner and Outer Grounds, Georges Bank, and the different kinds of fish, like cod, haddock, and halibut that live there, while also talking about the area's environment and how the fishing business has changed over time.
