Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Since prehistoric times, people have netted, lured and speared fish for food. This lyrical, richly evocative history follows the development of commercial and sport fishing across the UK. It records centuries-old traditions from Scotland to the Severn, describes the habits and lifecycles of species such as salmon, trout, pike and eel, and calls for their protection from industrial fishing and fish-farming.
