Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

William Carmichael McIntosh (1838-1931) was a Scottish physician
and marine biologist and the first director of the Gatty Marine
Laboratory, founded during 1896 in St Andrews. Originally published
in 1921, this is the second edition of a work first published in
1899. The text is based on observations made, over a number of
years, during trawling investigations off the coast of Scotland. In
a lengthy and rigorous exposition, McIntosh argues that the
restrictions imposed on trawling in coastal waters by the Fishery
Board are unjustified, lacking a foundation in scientific data.
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in marine
biology and fisheries policy.
