Excerpt from Reports on the Crab and Lobster Fisheries of England and Wales: Of Scotland and of Ireland
A most remarkable circumstance connected with this episode in the natural history of the higher crustacea is that the animal, when it withdraws itself from its shell, is always considerably larger than the shell from which it is withdrawn. Since the soft new shell, in which the creature is already encased, immediately commences to harden, its growth could be effected by no other arrangement. But the marvellous fact still remains, that the creature is enabled to withdraw itself from its cast shell, and that the shell from which it has withdrawn itself is as perfect and unbroken as ever.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical intricacies of the crab and lobster fisheries of England and Wales during the late 19th century. It offers a meticulous examination of the fishing practices, market dynamics, and the challenges faced by these industries. The author's comprehensive investigation encompasses various facets of the fisheries, including the natural history of crabs and lobsters, the methods employed in their capture, and the economic factors influencing their trade. The decline of specific fisheries, attributed to overfishing and environmental concerns, is a central theme. This work not only provides valuable insights into the historical context of the crab and lobster fisheries but also raises important questions about sustainability and resource management that remain relevant in contemporary discussions about marine conservation. Through its exploration of the complex interplay between human activities and the marine ecosystem, this book underscores the enduring significance of responsible fishing practices and the need to strike a balance between economic interests and environmental preservation.
