If you have an interest or care anything at all about the fishing industry in Canada, you will be captivated by this book.
Joseph Gough is a great writer who has a deeper and wider knowledge of the national fisheries picture than any other person in Canada. By employing both those strengths, Gough has compiled the most comprehensive record of the Canadian industry that has ever been written.
In his preface, Gough tells us that the narrative shows some recurring themes such as the contrast between development and conservation strategies and he admits that he has learned "to mistrust fishery formulas".
The book's framework is in six parts: The fishery before Canadian Federation- Bringing law and order to the fishery- Short booms- Long depression- Age of Development- Comprehensive management begins- making the new system work. There are hundreds of subtitles along with numerous illustrations and photographs that, along with Gough's conversational writing style, helps make the lengthy book an easy read. Trust me; you won't want to put it away til you've seen it all.
