Synopsis
Excerpt from Fish Transport and Fish Markets If, however, I were to attempt any elaborate review of the fish trade of these islands, I should probably exceed my own powers and I should certainly exhaust your patience. Instead of doing so, therefore, I shall confine most of the remarks I propose to make to you this afternoon to some of the salient points connected with the internal traffic of fish in this country. Before doing so, however, I should like to make one or two observations respecting our foreign trade in fish, because that subject, I think, is one which is not fully understood. Last year we imported into this country fish worth, in round numbers, 1,660,000, and we exported from the country fish worth 1,820,000. In point of value, therefore, the exports of fish almost balance the imports - there is no great difference between the two. In point of quantity, however, there is a very great difference. I believe that the amount of fish imported into this country was about 45,000 tons, whilst the amount of fish which we sent abroad probably reached 110,000 tons. The fish which we imported from abroad, at any rate that proportion of fish which the Board of Trade includes in their trade returns, consisted almost entirely of salt fish - most of the salt fish which we eat on the first and last days of Lent was presumably taken off the coasts of Norway and Newfoundland. But I believe there is a considerable import of fish which is not recognized by the Board of Trade. For instance, the large salmon which arrive in the autumn in London, which you may see in any fishmonger's shop in London, come from the Rhine.

Fish Transport and Fish Markets (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the question of fish transport and fish markets, with the intent of facilitating or improving the supply of fish to the metropolis. The author, a former inspector of salmon fisheries and governor of the Isle of Man, brings his deep knowledge and experience to bear on the subject. The work considers the internal trade in fish in Britain, proposing that railway charges are excessive and could be reduced by exposing railway companies to healthy competition. The book also advocates for the concentration of wholesale markets in one primary location for the convenience of buyers and sellers. In exploring the relationship between sheries and patronage, the author argues that while state patronage can hinder the flourishing of sheries, well-meaning individuals can make a positive impact through providing loans and other forms of support. This book offers valuable insights for those interested in the development of fisheries and the improvement of fish markets, providing a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities in these areas.
