"Dave Preble has plied the sea as a charter skipper, a draggerman and a biologist, and in The Fishes of the Sea he provides a fascinating overview of history, nature, sociology and the marine ecosystem. His insights are born of experience, with opinions that are refreshing and voiced from the heart. He brings to life the glory days when fish were abundant, and he chronicles the devastation of overfishing. The result is a book that is hard to put down once you crack the first page."--Fisherman

From the Dust Jacket: "In this wide-ranging book Captain Dave Preble, who has spent a lifetime fishing the waters of the East Coast, provides a fascinating overview of the history and nature of both commercial and sport fishing in New England waters. He has done both and brings to life the glory days when fish were plentiful and new technology made huge catches commonplace. But these record harvests carried their own seeds of destruction. Preble hauntingly describes the havoc wrought by overfishing in the 1980's. In his conclusion, the author expresses the hope that a new ethical approach to nature and strict adherence to quotas will combine with the fortuitous resurgence of species believed near extinction. The book offers a scientific and technical discourse about the major species -- cod, stripers, bluefish, tuna, sharks, and many more. [The author] has interspersed this study with exciting tales reminiscent of THE PERFECT STORM. Through it all, we experience firsthand a unique, highly dangerous lifestyle, always on the brink of disaster.". First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. xii, 242pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 014540
