The Fishes of the Sea: Commercial and Sport Fishing in New England

by Dave Preble

Overview

"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
