Notes:

Deals with 'interactions between fishermen, fisheries managers and fishery resources' in the context of technological innovation and resource management; the harmonious attitudes of fishermen and managers to resource management and overfishing practices, notably to bottom trawling, and the supportive protective intervention of government until the mid 19th century; thereafter the abandonment in fisheries protection in a 'new era of fish production at any cost'
