Items related to A Ghost in the Water (Transmontanus , No 1)
A strange prehistoric giant, rarely seen and little understood, haunts the depths of the Fraser River. It is the Fraser River white sturgeon, the largest freshwater fish in North America, and it is facing extinction. "A Ghost in the Water" is about the sturgeon and its ancient relationship with the people who live in the river valley.
"A Ghost in the Water" is the first book in the series Transmontanus, which explores the relationship between people and the landscape in what has come to be known as British Columbia.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. B/W Photographs (illustrator). First Edition. In 1897, 1.13 million pounds of giant white sturgeon were taken out of the Fraser River, that record had fallen to 33,500 pounds by 1902. In 1994, the author and Marvin Rosneau and Nick Basok, the latter two are fisheries men, were very delighted to catch (and release) one such fish just under six feet inlength. These 78 pages speak to the conservation effort needed (and begun) to preserve this half-myth fish. TEXT illus. by one MAP, one `harvest' chart and several b/w photographs. LEARN more about : barbels, Moe Sihota, Nicomen Slough, die-offs, Derby Reach, Soowahlie, and Scowlitz Band. Cond : Paper wrapper is dark blue-grey in colour with (white and) orange lettering. Front cover photo (colour) shows a sturgeon rising STRAIGHT up out of the waters of Maria Slough. The slightest of wear at corners, edges crispy, spine fine. Colours bright, binding tight. No names, marks, creases, tears, no bumps. Very light reading `wear'. ALMOST giftable !! Quote (p. 27) : " They are known to gorge themselves on spawned-out salmon, lying in wells 30 metres deep at the bottom of the river in the Fraser Canyon, which . . And they lie in wait down there hoping for dead fish to tumble in on top of them. Theyll eat just . ." Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # 008023
