Bertram is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The work focuses on the natural and economic history of British food fishes, exploring various species, their life cycles, and the fishing industries associated with them. It aims to provide both an overview of fish biology and insights into the commerce surrounding the fishing trade. At the start of the book, Bertram provides an introduction to the lives and growth of fish, discussing their classification, form, and remarkable reproductive capabilities. He highlights the significance of various species such as herring, salmon, and eels, emphasizing their adaptations and the mysteries that still surround their life processes. Furthermore, he points out the need for better understanding and statistical inquiry into fish populations, advocating for the establishment of marine observatories to monitor and regulate fishery practices in the face of overfishing and environmental concerns. Overall, the opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of fish biology and the economic implications of fishing practices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
