Synopsis

This book presents a collective study of the vast and complex Division of Scientific Inquiry within the Bureau of Fisheries. Its contributors—investigators of the division—examine the uctuations of various species of sh, leading to the development of principles of oyster culture, as well as the regulation of the salmon shery in Alaska and aquiculture in freshwater settings. The book presents the history of the sheries of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and delves into the various factors that have contributed to their uctuation. The author draws upon years of biological collections and observations in the Gulf of Maine and the Grand Banks to trace the life histories and distribution of cod, haddock, and pollock—three of the most economically important sh in the region.
