National Fisheries

Abstract

IN NATURE of March 13 is published a paragraph on British fisheries in which the following passage occurs:—“To the trade, fish that is scarce and dear is easier to handle than, and at least as profitable as, fish that is cheap and plentiful. From the point of view of the consumer and of the State, cheap food, a large and prosperous fishing population, and, if possible, some revenue, ought to be the objects of reconstruction of the industries concerned.”
