A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

One of the most marked features in the fish-fauna of the Australian Seas is the almost entire absence of the cod tribe (G addidcB), a family among which the codfish itself, the ling, the haddock, theE nglish whiting, the hake, c., supply such immense quantities of valuable food, and afford so much employment to thousands of human beings in theO ld and New Worlds. This want is, however, amply supplied by members of others families, such as theM ugillidae, Sciaenidae, and Carangidae, which visit the Australian shores in vast shoals. From among these, fisheries might be formed, which, if carried on under efficient management, experience, and skill, with a comparatively small expenditure would, in the future, bid fair to rival the largest and most important in the world. Unfortunately there are at present no fish-curing or canning establishments inN ewS outh Wales. With the exception of one species, Retropinna richardsoniiy Gill, a species not used for food, theS almonidae are naturally absent, but this family has been so successfully introduced into the Tasmanian waters, that it is highly probable, ere long, even salmon will form an important article of export. With regard to the Clupeidae (the herrings, pilchards, sprats, and anchovies), the species of this family are very numerous, and occur in quite as large shoals as in any other part of the world. When theM ugilidae, the most valuable for canning purposes, but which only occur at a certain season of the year, are gone, there are many other families the members of which are also found in immense quantities, for instance, theS ciaenidae: Scicena antarctica andO tolithus atelodus; theS paridae :C hrysophrys australiS yC.
