Good Book About Fish/Fishing

[iguana1]

Just finished 'The Unnatural History of the Sea', Callum Roberts.

The book uses historical references to show what virgin fish stocks looked like in several fisheries and then tracks the impact of man and commercial fishing. Incredible to read the historical stuff. GBFT were common around England and the North Sea. Common shark attacks on fishermen in the North Sea. Codfish of 180lbs.

The book ends with a pretty strong arguement for Marine Preserves as the only viable management solution.

Well worth a read.
