Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fishes and Their Ways of LifeMany keen fishermen have a particular devotion to that form of the art which is practised from a boat, and among their number I certainly include myself. I have Often practised their art in the past, and I practise it still. At any fit and proper time I am prepared to accompany a friend to river, lake, or sea, especially the sea. And so I find delights unknown to the Shore fisherman. I am brought closer to creatures which must be watched for if they are to be caught, and I have a greater Share in their existence. Fishing is no longer a sedate and tranquil form of recreation, no longer a mere stroll along a river bank, or an excuse for a nap; it becomes something more in the nature of hunting, of the chase. It has attractions and dangers all its own.But I do not always confine myself to that common type of fishing which is concerned with catching fish and nothing more. I am after something more than this, and I use special gear. As a naturalist I fish because I seek to garner all the living creatures that dwell in the waters so that I may know them all and learn all about them. The world of waters does not consist only of the fish we use for food. Together with these live other creatures having a place and usefulness of their own. And they are all worth knowing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Fish Life The Story of Fish Life began ages and ages ago. Of this we are assured, not by any written record, but through the labours of those who spend their lives in exploring the dried basins of ancient lakes and seas, searching for the dead which may in cidentally have been preserved therein. The accumulated results of these explorations have provided us with a rich material for study in the shape of the hard parts, at least, of fishes of many kinds, the like of which, in many cases, we shall never see again. But some of these may be traced through a long series of geological forma tions, up to their living descendants, and serve to fill gaps otherwise incomprehensible. They enable us to weave out of the Whole of the collected evidence a story, as plainly as though we had transcribed it from the more familiar print.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marvels of Fish Life as Revealed by the Camera This is not because fish are less interesting than birds or mammals, but chiefly because of the difficulty of Observing them in their native element. I have endeavoured in this book to Show how fish reveal to the Observer their intentions and emotions by attitudes, movements and changes in colour. I have described the eggs and the early life histories of a few of our commoner fishes, and how the adult fish is assisted in the battle for existence by concealing coloration and other devices. The habits Of a few marine animals have been dealt with, and finally I have explained in detail how the various photographs shown have been Obtained, in the hope that the information may be Of assistance to those interested in fish photo graphy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Fishes These two movements may be made antagonistic by poor teaching. The book knowledge, containing as it does the precious lesson of human experience, may be so taught as to bring with it only dead rules of conduct, only dead, scraps of information, and no stimulant to original thinking. Its contents may be memorized without being understood. On the other hand, the self-activity of the child may be stimulated at the expense of his social well-being - his Originality may be cultivated at the expense of his rationality. If he is taught persistently to have his own way, to trust only his own senses. To cling to his own Opinions heedless of the experience of his fellows, he is pre paring for an unsuccessful, misanthropic career, and is likely enough to end his life in a madhouse. It is admitted that a too exclusive study of the knowledge found in books, the knowledge which is aggregated from the experience and thought of other people, may result in loading the mind of the pupil with material which he can not use to advantage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New System of the Natural History of Fishes and Insects It is remarkable, that there is no fyftem of ichthyology in the Enn/lo language. Gold/mitb's plan did not ad? Mit of any thing more, than a general fketch of this fub jeet. Accordingly, he has not defcribed, perhaps, a twentieth part of thofe, that are already found in the fyfiems of Artedi or Linnaeus. Pennant has, indeed, given a corree'r and elegant billory of the Brita/l. fillies but thefe make only a fmail part of the inhabitants of the ocean. We dare not promife, in the narrow limits of the following work, to offer a complete fyfiem to the public. All the genera, however, are included, and a few of the molt remarkable fpecies belonging to each, are felee'ted for a particular defcription. By the labours, however, of the different philofophers already mentioned, nearly five hundred kinds of fillies have been enumerated, and defcribed; and, in appearance at leali, confiderable progrefs has been made in explain-a ing their hifiory: But, unfortunately, the names and ex ternal figure of many of thefe are' all that we know. Their food, migrations, manner of life, and every qua llty that can render their hifiory interefiing, {till remain to be explored. While, therefore, we are guided prin cipally by the arrangement of Linnaeus, in giving the following account of fillies, we will fpare our readers the trouble of perufing the tedious catalogue, as often as it prefents nothing, but the dry detail of names. We {hall thus fecure ouifelves an opportunity of enlarging more fully upon thofe particular fifhes, whofe hifiory may appear molt authentic, curious, or ufeful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Fishes: Revised and Enlarged Edition, Presenting the Better Known Species of Food and Game Fishes of the Coastal and Inland Waters of the United States These same fresh and salt water areas, in addition to being reservoirs of food, provide unending recreational Opportunity and healthful out-of-door sport to people in every walk Of life, young and Old. The thrill of search and contest between man and fighting fish, be it angled for with bent pin or giant hook of steel, has few equals. The Book of Fishes, it is hoped, will be of interest and value to expert fisherman and layman alike because it presents an illuminating life story of the more important Of the fishes to be found in North American waters. These species not only are a Vital factor in the Nation's food supply, but also, through the sport and commercial fisheries they support, provide em ployment for many thousands Of men and women. SO rich are American coastal waters, rivers, and bays in variety Of fishes that to describe comprehensively every known species would necessitate a dozen encyclopedic volumes, too costly for general ownership. Therefore, out Of the great treasure Of ichthyological material gathered by the National Geographic Society, the chapters, photographic illustrations, and original color plates of this volume have been selected, and the most famous fishes Of the diverse regions of the country, of the East and West coasts and the inland waters between them, are described and pictured.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Fishes The scope of the present work is to give in a concise form an account of the principal facts relating to the structure, classification, and life-history of Fishes. It is intended to meet the requirements of those who are desirous of studying the elements of Ichthyology; to serve as a book of reference to zoologists generally; and, finally, to supply those who, like travellers, have frequent opportunities of observing fishes, with a ready means of obtaining information. The article on "Ichthyology," prepared by the late Sir J. Richardson for the eighth edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica," is the only publication which has hitherto partly satisfied such requirements; and when I undertook, some years ago, to revise, or rather rewrite that article for the new edition of that work, it occurred to me that I might at the same time prepare a Handbook of Ichthyology, whilst reserving for the article an abstract so condensed as to be adapted for the wants of the general reader. From the general plan of the work I have only departed in those chapters which deal with the Geographical Distribution of Fishes.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fresh Water Fishes and Their Ecology When we watch a summer thunder storm, which covers the earth with a sudden flood and makes rivulets by the road-side, each carrying down to the smaller streams its load of leaves and other organic debris, together with the lighter parts of the soil, and when we see these silt laden streams unite in rivers turbid with the rich spoil of the land, we are inclined to lament the enormous and oft-repeated waste, seeing no way in which it can be recovered in any considerable measure to the use of man; but if we follow it to the lake bottom and the river bed we shall see much of it arrested there, to become an aquatic soil, partly muddy water and partly wet mud, more fertile even than the richest fields, and sustaining a new population of plants and animals, of many grades and classes, one climbing upward, as we may say, upon the shoulders of another, to reach a level which makes them accessible again to our use. Since the waters which wash the surface of the earth fall virtually lifeless and sterile from the sky, whatever population they eventually contain must evidently be supplied from the contributions made to them by the earth, including, of course, the organic and inorganic substances dissolved out of the earth by surface wash and underground filtration. The aquatic population of a lake or stream is thus sustained by the wastes of the land - materials which would otherwise be carried down prae tically unaltered to the sea; and our rivers and lakes may be looked upon as a huge apparatus for the arrest, appropriation, digestion, and assimila tion of certain raw materials about to pass from our control, valueless and sometimes deleterious as they leave us, but capable of being worked over, renovated, and returned to us in new and valuable forms, mainly as fishes available for food.
