The Fishing Industry

"The Fishing Industry" by William E. Gibbs is an early 20th-century work inspecting techniques and the impact of fisheries, especially in Britain. Gibbs' goal is to explain the complexities of fishing methods and their basis in science. This book starts by explaining how difficult it is to cover such a broad topic in a short space. It talks about the history of fishing, how it has changed over time, and the importance of understanding fisheries well to keep them sustainable and not to exploit the fish population. He talks about different kinds of fish, where they live, and using good fishing methods to keep the number of fish steady. The beginning of the book introduces the broad look at the fishing business, showing how important it is both for money and as a source of food.
