Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a substantial report on the founding of the Lancashire Sea-Fisheries Laboratory. In December 1891, the author was invited to propose a scheme to the Lancashire County Council's Technical Instruction Committee, which would enhance the education of local fishermen with regard to biological matters that could inform their fishing practices. The author set up a laboratory on the roof of University College, Liverpool and appointed an assistant to manage scientific research. The major goal of this laboratory was to investigate the life history and food habits of fish species like Sole and Shrimp, to determine whether other fish species were competing with the former for sustenance. This led to the broader question of whether the capture of juvenile fish by shrimpers was noticeably affecting the Sole population, and if so, what could be done about it. The book contains deliberations on minimum catch sizes, closed fishing seasons, and the possibility of fish farming in local estuaries. Statistics on the stomach contents of various fish and crustaceans are provided, and the author concludes that education and new regulations are necessary to protect fish stocks in the region.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive study of investigations into the sea fisheries and hatcheries of Lancashire from the year 1898. Conducted by Professor W.A. Herdman of the University of Liverpool and his team, the work provides a detailed account of their research into various aspects of marine life. It broadly covers the annual hatchery work of fish such as cod, plaice, and flounder, along with observations on the life and feeding habits of young fish. The book combines the efforts of several scientists, including Messrs. Andrew Scott and James Johnstone, and includes a special report from Messrs. Keebel and Gamble on their research at Piel Hatchery. Also featured is an essay by the author discussing the important connection between the well-being of our seas and the fish that reside within them, arguing that all knowledge of animal life in our seas is of vital importance to protect our coastlines. The author notes that this knowledge is essential for understanding the life and ways of fish, which in turn contributes to sustainable fishery practices and regulations. Moreover, the book highlights the need for international collaboration in oceanographic exploration to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the distribution and movements of migratory fish stocks.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the investigations and works performed by the author and their team at two facilities. These facilities were dedicated to research into fisheries, including one temporary and one permanent facility for the hatching of sea fish. Sea fish hatching work has been conducted primarily on the species of plaice and flounder. Over the course of a year, nearly seventeen million eggs were collected, and with minimal loss just under fifteen million of those eggs went on to produce fry which were returned to the sea. Also included is a report on parasites and diseases detected in the course of the research. Protozoan, Trematode, and Copepod parasites and leeches were found on a range of hosts and their effects on the fish studied. This book provides valuable insight into the field of sea fisheries research and the author's work in the area through the detailed reporting of their findings and experiences.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the substantial contributions of public museums to public education, advocating for closer collaboration between museums and other scientific societies in developing their work and offerings. The author, a museum chairman, presents a range of international case studies alongside examples from the author's own experience which demonstrate the effectiveness and popularity of museum habitat groups, portable nature study cases, and educational guide-leaflets. Drawing a parallel between the museum's role in science education and the role of the university, the author calls for a more active partnership between the two sectors, offering practical suggestions for how this might be achieved and highlighting the profound impact such a collaboration could have on public engagement with science.
