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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface to the first edition\u003cbr\u003e Preface to the second edition\u003cbr\u003e List of plates\u003cbr\u003e 1.
